BY AIRPLANE ARRIVE

feet. The ship has gas consumption
flies at height of about 1000 feet
or "seven stories" as the pilots say. 1t
has an average speed of between 118
and 130 miles per hour when on trip
but can make more than this if pushed
1t is built in the shape of a boat and
rides deep in the water when taking
off or landing on lake. It is also
equipped with wheels, balloon tired
which are lowered and lifted by hy-
draulic pressure.
Upon arrival at the lake, the ship
was run ashore at the bathing beach
The weight of the machine is about
1000 or more than five tons. Some
difficulty was experienced in taking off
for the Eastwood camp after taking
on board Manager Pluth of the Wilder
ness Outfitters. A getaway was made
after two of the passengers disembark-
ed and were taken into the plane of
DUSTY" Rhodes which acted as pilot
to Eastwood, followed by the Scenic
Anyways Robin" as rear guard. The
party landed on Eastwood few min
utes after taking off but did not again
essay to run up on shore but anchored
the Majestic in deeper water.
The party is having a fine time and
fish are coming down thick and fast to
local packers who are preparing them
for shipment. Messrs. Grunow, Grigs-
by and party left this morning for
home. They did not stop in Ely but
passed over straight for Minneapolis
and from there home. They express
themselves as more than pleased
with their trip and that they would
probably return several times later
in the season now that start was
made.

KEEP TO THE RIGHT
RULE OFTEN BROKEN

Keep to the right" is the first rule
in all traffic laws, but according to Earle
Brown, chief of the state traffic patrol
this rule is broken by more people
than any other and failure to observe
this rule is responsible for very large
percentage of highway accidents.
Reports by the state traffic patrol
men, who have now finished their Sec
ond week of active duty, show that
violation of the keep to the right
rule is very general, and they have
spent large portion of their time cau-
tioning drivers and calling attention to
the danger of breaking this rule.
"The tendency of a large number of
drivers is to hug the center of the road,
but on state highways this is both dam
gerous and Unnecessary" Mr.. Brown
says. "On the old type eighteen foot
pavements, if you drive with your left
wheels two feet outside the center
line, you will still have two feet between
your right wheels and the outer edge
of the concrete. On the twenty foot
pavements and the gravel roads you
have still more room.
where there is no traffic approach
ing, it may seem harmless to drive in
the middle of the road, but it is just
as easy to keep to the right. 1t is a
good habit to acquire. If your right
wheels should get outside the pave
ment or the gravel, nothing serious viii
happen, but if you go over the center
line and meet someone who is doing
the same thing, an accident is newt
able. If drivers will keep to the right
except when passing other cars, not
pass cars on turns, at crossings, on the
crest of a hill, or other places where
the view is obstructed, half of our
highway accidents could be avoided"
Only a few arrests have been made
by the state patrolmen since they
went on the road two weeks ago. No
arrests have been made except for
drunken or reckless driving. Driving
without license. plates, driving with
licenses covered by luggage or bum
pers, parking on pavements, failure to
stop at arterial highways, and driving
with loads which exceed the size
limits fixed by law, are among vio-
lations frequently encountered, but so
far no arrests have been made for
any such offenses.
Eight men make up the first squad
of state patrolmen and the full quota
of thiry five allowed by law will not
be reached until next spring. The
men will alternate their time between
highways in various parts of the state.
All wear uniforms of dark gray whip
cord and carry revolvers. Besides
the regular traffic officers insignia
they have the words Minnesota
Highway-State Patrol" in large yel-

CUTTING RED CEDARS
CONTROLS APPLE RUST.

Apple rust, which is doing consider
able damage in Minnesota this year,
can be controlled effectively only by
the removal of red cedars, from which
the rust spreads to apples in the early
summer, advises DR.. E. G. Stakman,
plant disease specialist, University
Farm, st. Paul.
If cedars within about a quarter of
a mile of the orchard are removed
there is likely to be relatively little
rust, he says. Spraying both the apple
and red cedar trees and cutting the
gals from the latter may help reduce
the amount of rust, but will not pre-
vent it entirely. If there are valuable
ornamental red cedars on lawns near
orchards, it may be feasible to cut Of
the gals, but in commercial apple
growing regions the only sure preven-
tive is to cut out the red cellars.
Apple rust is caused by a funguc
which lives over winter on the red
cedars and then spreads to apples dur
ing the summer, attacking the leaves
and fruit, and going back to red
cedars in the fall It cannot persist,
therefore, without the red cedars.
Hence the surest method of preventing
the rust is to eradicate these trees
from the immediate vicinity of or
chards
Some of the crab apples, Wealthy,
Whitney, and Jonathan are very sub
ject to rust, while most of the other
large varieties commonly grown in
Minnesota are relatively resistant. The
Wealthy, therefore. is likely to be sew
erely rusted when resistant varieties in
the same orchard may be almost free.
Further details will be sent on apph-
cation to the Plant Disease Depart
ment, University Farm, st. Paul.

The first of airminded tourists arriv-
ed in Ely Tuesday for a camping and
nshing trip at the Eastwood Lake fish
ing camp conducted by the Wilderness
Outfitters
The plane was a Majestic, a twin
motored SikorSky machine of the am
phybian type and carried besides the
pilot and his assistant, seven men with
their baggage. MeSsrs. Grunow and
Grigsby, Chicago manufacturers of the
radio sets bearing the same name as
the airship and for which the Laing
Hardware Company are local sales
agents, were the leaders of the party
which left Chicago Monday, landing in
Minneapolis after run of four hours
and five minutes. They left Mime
apoliS Tuesday at noon and arrived
here one hour and fifty-five minutes
later.
The people of the city had been ap-
praised of its coming and about 600
were on hand when the mamoth mach
inc hove into sight, the purr of the
18-cylindered motors acting as mag
net to draw the crowd to the lake
where the plane landed after circling
over the city twice to get bearings and
pick out landing place. 1t came down
near the municipal bathing beach.
Every car in the city, not otherwise
engaged made the run to the landing
place loaded to the running boards
with interested spectators. Those who
had no cars walked and ran to the
lake to be there and see what could
be seen.
The Majestic is fine piece of work

PROTEST BALKS
COUNTY ACTION

Members of the board of st. Louis
county commissioners within the next
two months will make personal study
of five applications for the creation
of auxiliary forests in the county in
volving 172,000 acres of land. They
will also make study of the auxil-
iary forest law.
This future action was decided upon
Tuesday at the conclusion of the Sec
ond hearing on the five petitions. The
board adjourned the hearing until 1 80
p. m, Sept. "a, when the investigation
and study is expected to be completed
and the boards views made known.
The board did not make known the
procedure it will follow in it's investi-
cation, but, it was learned the lands
involved would be viewed.
The hearing Tuesday was attended
by large group of farmers, who pro-
tested against a proposed recommend
alton by the board that the appli-
cations be granted by the state fores-
try commission. Prior to the meeting
tentative organization, to be known
as the Northern Minnesota Taxpay-
er's association, was formed, with its
purpose being opposition to granting
of petitions. DR.. John Mckay, 1926 w
Second st, veterinary surgeon, was
named floor leader.
Principal opposition at the meeting
Tuesday was led by George Schlecht
and James L. Norman, publishers.
They accused the Minnesota Arrow
head association of being supported
by lumber interests The charge was
made by Mr.. Schlecht and Mr.. Norman
at the conclusion of talk by Fred D.

PETROLEUM-PAST AND PRESENT

A comparatively few years ago oil
production was a matter of SNmming
a Shiny substance from the surface of
springs, boiling down shale or digging
a hole in the ground and allowing the
rock oil' to flow into barrels. The
output was small, workers were few
and the demand light. Oil had not
yet become an industry.
Today nearly 100000 workers are
employed in the various phrases OF oil
production, refining and distribution
over 100000 wells have been drilled
Science has replaced hit-and-miss
methods with the result that the
science of petroleum production is
yearly reaching new standards Of eftic-
iency and economy. The original crock
oil" business has become an eleven
billion dollar industry.
The motorists who stop at the thou
sands of filling stations that dot oul
highways and buy high grade uniform
gasoline and oil products at remark
ably low prices, probably have a little
knowledge of the great triumphs Of
the past. But of outstanding import
ance to every citizen are two great oil
problems of the present.
The rapid growth of the industry
and increased efficiency Of operation
brought overproduction that has reach.
ed a point where supply far exceeds
demand. Oil must either be wasted OF
placed in storage, an expensive unsatis-
factory process. AS consequence, the
industry, in the face of legal obstacles
is working in cooperation with the
Federal government, the states and
public officials in an attempt to formu-
late a conservation program.

Feeding the Breeding Flock

A change Of menu is desirable for
the layers in the poultry flock that
are to be used for breeding. If the
fowls have been getting ration in
tended for high egg production, re-
duce the meat meal about S per cent,
the corn meal about per cent, and
increase the proportion of milk, green
feeds, and bulky feeds such as bran,
alfalfa leaf meal, or ground oats, says
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The breeding ration should be well
supplied with minerals. Breeding hens
should get as much direct sunlight as
possible, as this helps them to utilize
the vitamins in the ration to best ad-
vantage. Vitamins are partly supplied
by green feed, milk, and corn or corn
meal. Yellow corn is better than white
Ground corn, such as corn meal, is
preferable to commercial corn meal
from which most of the germ has
been removed. Ground wheat also is
good in the breeding ration and may
replace all of the wheat middlings ano
part of the bran.

ARE YOU ONE OF THE
FORTUNATE ONE PERCENT;

--rning the
distribution of wealth and income
in the United States indicate that
one per cent of the families own
one-half of the national wealth, says
+. w. Clover, assistant professor OF
business administration at the State
College of Washington.
Income is not quite so unequal
distributed as wealth." he declares.
Nevertheless, we discover that two
per cent of the families receive approx
;mately 20 per cent of the total nation
al income. We might put the matter
in still another way. For instance, the
poorest two-thirds Of the population
possess only five per cent of the
wealth. Eight per cent of our people
receive less than $4,000 per year and
own less than TOPPER cent of the total
wealth.
What are the reasons for these
differences in economic status? All
must admit, think, that much of the
inequality is due to differences in abil-
ity. Some are born with inferior
intelligence, and some with potentially
great mental abilities. Mental capaci-
ties. energy, physical health and other
factors which depend in part at least
upon our biological inheritance, are
obvious factors in determining achieve
ment along economic lines"
