AIR mail WEEK IN
OBSERVATION NOW
Postmaster Ward Gives Brief
History of Air Mail Service
Since Organization.

With a view to facilitating the ef-
forts of the government in carrying
out instructions with reference to the
observance of Air Mail Week, which
is this week, Postmaster H. w. Ward
issued brief history of the develop
ment of this service.
1t was on May Is, 1918, that the
first regular service, operated with
planes and pilots borrowed from the
War Department., was inaugurated
between New York and Washington.
This route was not destined to live
long because it was soon discovered
that the time saved in the air was
nearly all lost on the ground because
of the distance between the flying
fields and the main post offices.
But the experiment furnished the
start and yielded the first lessor
which was that mail transport by all
to be successful, must cover greater
distances. From the small beginning
of the New York Washington route
grew the transcontinental system
which first began operating on regu.
lar schedule, flying night and day
July 1, 1924. A year later an addi-
tional overnight service was inaug.
urated between New York and Chi.
cago.
The next step, under congressional
authorization, was the letting of con.
tracts to private flying companies
for the transportation of mail over
lateral routes, connecting important
cities with the main line. Then, the
transcontinental system was turned
over to private initiative for opera
tion under contract so that today the
country is literally a network of air.
mail lines.
Sixty-three of the most important
commercial cities of the Nation are
within the confines of this network
leaving only a very few of any promi-
nence to be hooked up later.
Twenty-Five routes in operation, and
five other under contract and sched-
uled for operation during the current
year, bring the total mileage of the
air-mail system to 1850. Two addi-
tional routes, with a mileage of L.
$50, are under advertisement and con-
tracts probably will be let during the
year.
At the present time air-mail pilots

BIG TEAM HITCH TO
BE DEMONSTRATED
A Series of Five DemOnstra-
tiOns, Beginning Today, Is
Scheduled for County.

Big Team Hitch Demonstrations
will be conducted on five farms in
Redwood County this week. VIM. P.
Newell, specialist in big team bitches
from the Agricultural Extension Di-
vision, will be here two days, May 16
and II. He will show the ease and
simplicity of hitching any combina-
ton of horses from three to twelve in
number, all driven with two lines by
one man.
The principle shown saves both
horse and man labor. 1t makes ev-
cry horse do it's part without agitat-
ing the others and shifts the line of
draft to it's correct balance on the ma
chine used and on the horses pulling
the load. 1t reduces the cost of equip
ment by eliminating upkeep on ex-
pensive harness supplies now used.
Those interested in these demon
strations are cordially invited to at
tend. Any questions pertaining to
big team hitching will be answered
The schedule is as follows:
900 A. NJ, May 18th, Louis Lawr-
ence, Shutdown Twp.
1870 P. M, May 10th, C. w. CORES,
Willow Lake Twp.

partment of the Redwood Falls High
School.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
WILL WELCOME THE
CO. FARM BUREAU
Farm Bureau Picnic and PrOpOS-
ed Air Port Receive Atten-
tiOn at Civic Meeting.

Redwood Falls Will do all IN ltS
power to act as good hosts to the
Redwood County Farm Bureau men,
bers and their families and friends
according to the action of the Red
wood Falls Commercial Club at their
regular monthly meeting held last
Monday night. Among other business
transacted, this decision was reach
ed after unanimous vote of the
members of the club who were pres
ent at the meeting.
The advertising committee of the
Commercial club, composed of Lynn
Sheldon, chairman; George Freyer,
Louis Sommers, o. H. Johnson and
B. E. Marsh were appointed to CO.
operate with the Farm Bureau COM
mittees in advertising the picnic. F.
G.. Hubbard as chairman and G. E.
Mckay were appointed by the chair
to work with the Merchants As
sociation in connection with the pic
mic.
The Airport committee, headed by
w. S. Brammer, gave a brief report
of the committee, stating that land
ing field of approximately 1000 by
$500 feet in size was recommended
and needed to establish an air port.
The committee has a plot of ground
in view, within a short walking dis
tance of the business part of the city
that is being considered as a likely
future air port. An air port in the
city of Redwood Falls will add great
ly to it's commercial advantages.
Redwood Falls does not want to be
without an air port, it cannot afford
to be without one. No enterprising
city can afford to be without the ad-
vertising, and the solid commercial
advantages, of being on an airplane
route. 1t is the duty of every citizen
to boost the proposition to the full
est extent.
Following the report by Chairman
Brammer, a representative of the Am
erican Legion, speaking for the SER
vice organization stated that the
Legion was anxious and willing to
work with the Commercial Club in
any way that would hasten the estab-
fishing of an air port.
At the April meeting E. L. Spen-
Ger was appointed chairman of a

ing the details of the picnic will work
out their plans soon.
One of the special features of the
picnic this year will be an attendance
contest by community groups to be
counted at the picnic dinner, SIM
liar to two years ago. The County
Farm Bureau, as prize, will secure
a nationally known and recognized
speaker and provide an entire even
ing's program consisting of musical
talent and other features to make up
an outstanding program, for the three
communities checking the largest at
tendance at, the picnic dinner. The
rules will be as follows:
1. Communities may consist of a
township unit, Farmers Club, Com
munity club, or Commercial club in
cluding farm families in their COM
munity.
2. Communities competing must be
nominated to the Secretary of the
Farm Bureau, Chas. Neitzel, Morton,
not later than Saturday, June 9th, so
that signs may be painted for each
group.
3. Each community nominated must

organize their group and report of
ficially the names and number pres
ent.

poets an important addition to her
faculty, Sir Hector Fish, distin-
guished scientist. Sir Hector is
bringing with him, the recently dis
