 Shortly after midnight eastern standard time last Thursday the Bremen stood fully fucled for her flight on the runway at Bald onnel airdromc. Captain Hermann koehl and Major James Eitzmaurice sat al the controls. In a compartment be- hind sat Baron Non Huenefeld. ready 10 man the fuel pump.
 Captain Ko"hl and Major Fitz- maurice went to communion before getting in the plane for their great adventure. They took q crucifiX of 'conncntara marble with them. The f1rrrS ,.1t,lnl f,; they were putting their trust in the hands of God.

 Dayhrcak gave them opportunity 
 to correct their direction. The weather. however. became worse and it was only with great difficulty that the plane could be kept up.

 At least one team always will hc necessary on most farms, they say and while tho rrecipitatc decline from 1?eo to 1926 Tn thc number ot work animals has been checked the replacement problem remains. An acute shortage is expected to develop within the next few yeors.
 Substitulions of mechanical DOW CT for work animals is given ss the most important factor in ac- counting for the decrease of th. latter. Tractors on farms in 1925 numbered 5oS,ooo. or more than double the number in 1920. Ii is estimated that the decrease in horses and mules for tho same pc rIod released for other uses about ?.3oo.000 acres Of land formerly required fo feed grains hay and pasture.
 It is a curious fact. obs. rycrs say. that mules have resisted the tendency to their displacement bet ter than horses Mute prices did rot decline as early nor as much as horse prices.
 The farm prices Of mules began t. advance last September On January l5 they averaged B: 8 head. compared with sS3 head in January ot 1927.

 Finally as despair grew. they saw what they took to be sealing steamer frozen in the ice. It was the lighthouse on Grecnly Island. They did not know where they were. their log bearings and compass were inaccurate.
 There was a small pond on the
