GIRL COMMITS SUICIDE LEAPING
 FROM AIRPlANE
PILOT SAW GIRL ON KNEES PRAYING BEFORE OPEN
 DOOR; JUMPED

CURTIS FIELD, N. Y., Nov, 13, (P)-Ruth Rockwell, 20, of Crest wood, New York, committed sui eide Monday by leaping from a passenger plane shortly after taking off from Curtis Field.
 The plane was piloted by F. F. Booth who said the girl had appeared at the field 15 minutes before her leap and asked to charter a plane for short ride.
 Booth said he gained an alti- tude of 1,5OO feet when the girl asked him to go higher. He had reached 2,OO0 feet, he said, when he felt sudden lurch and he looked back and saw the door open with the girl on her knees before it.
 She was apparently saying prayers for moment later she arose and leaped to her death. The body was found 200 feet from the edge of the flying field.

Present intentions may not be re.

soil moisture conditions this fall are
unfavorable to seeding operations.
North Dakota produced about 81 per

many other ways aid was given to
the pioneers by the railroad.
The surface had hardly been
scratched 50 to speak as to the de
Nelopment of an enormous land
area most Of which depends upon
the availability of water for agri-
cultural purposes but even in the
sections that are regarded as highly
developed and prosperous, there are
still many problems to solve. The
most important one with respect to
production and continued use Of the
soil where water is abundant lies in
adequate rcplcnislmcnt to maintain
soil fertility because we can no
more continue to take out of the
soil without rcplcnishing than we
can to draw on our bank account
without dcpositing.
Impoverished soil soon shows its
effect in decreased volume and quail
ity Of production, limiting the distri
button ard amount to be distributed
ard transported. We recognize this
when we consider that the superior
quality has the greatest distributing
possibilities.
So far as history records, livestock
has been the chief means of farm
fertilization, is not only the most
available but the most practical and
economical. Besides, livestock fur
nishes means Of divcr3ification

Of getting cash as needed. Ability
TO find ready sale, especially with
the small livestock producer was not
always. the ease but since open mar
kets have been established at Ogden,

Francisco and Los Angeles, all pro
duccrs have an open forum for the
ready marketing of their production.

Los ANGELES, Jan. 81. - The
transcontincntal railroads have al
ways played and always will play
an important part in the building
up of the great west and southwest.
There is still big undevclopcd area
that we see in riding from the
Missouri river to the wcst coast =;
and looking back, we marvel at the
courage and hope of the pioneers
who sponsored the building of the
railroads through the desolatc coun-
try, from the Missouri river to the
Pacific coast, keeping in mind also
that not so very long ago Red Cak,
Iowa, was in the so-callcd great
American desert
The building of the Pacific rail
roads was subsidized to some extent
by the federal government, largely
in land grants and it looked Ike the
more land they had, the poorer hey
were; although in recent years some
of the Roads have been greatly en-
Iiched through thcir holdings Of or
igInal grants. The promise of fl
nancial returns at the outset depend
ed on tying together the populated
and productive east with the rapid
~ growing Pacific slope country.
The discovery of gold in California
had its influence in railroad build
ing and in populating that sactiou
The Union Pacific and Central
Pacific formed the first connecting
link between the east and the west
and in discussions and deliberations
concerning the construction Of what
we now know as the Union Pacific,
reference was made to the Union
Of the Pacific. With construction
completed, a>dcfinitc and active
campaign was started by the rail
