we are shooting down to beauti- n
fuI landing field alongside the ii
platte river; and / find it 10 be f,
North Platte, Nebraska. Right f,
awav | ask the pilot what happened il
mn there awhile ago, and he quiet p
w informed me that the one gas Il
tank emptied and the little lapse U
was caused while he turned on h
new supply. Now a Western t
Union messenger advises that a
@Rush" message awaits me at
Omaha approximate an effort to 7
have it relayed, but Uncle Sans
mail must be on its way, and we {
take the air again, while l am ;
! mzzled at what this crush" mess
} age may contain-has it rained in
Montana? is wheat lower? did the
Zen break another crankshaft? did
the Froid cop make an arrest? was
> there an auto accident, a wedding
: ar a birth l should be intensely in
= terested in? Oh! this suspense is
: awful-wish there were some one
} here to talk to. Rail- here comes
/ the flowers again; there, stay now.
/, | have pushed this box back so Of
:, ten and so forcibly that it's now
7 cracked in the middle, and a red
!. rose peers out to greet me-all
: red, fresh and fragrant. l feel
. better nova rose; not unlike my
self, a product of Mother Nature
in another form or phase-we
: should be friends. While ! puzzle,
~ ~ sour and mean, it comes from its
h hiding place, smiles, and communes
10 with me, and sends forth its frag-
- rance. We are friends under these
e circumstances, and / care not now
of how often the container bangs my
a. head, on account of this pretty
- rose l shall place it to its proper
position with gentle hands.
To a farmer, especially "dry-
lander" from the plains of Montana
in the summer of 1929, this pass
ing panorama is a Wonderful sight.
We are now over the Omaha counr
- try, flying quite low, at times just
en- few hundred feet above the trees
and house-tops. The farm ladies
oer step out to the door-ways and
ne wave to US by means of table
D. cloth or dish-towel; the chickens
V pigs, and other farm-yard denizens
scurry to shelter; the horse cocks
ICE his head sideways and skyward
w. while the farmer yields the pitch
n.y. fork in a happy salute. Here mus
be wonderful soil and labor applied
Ell intelligently; corn, corn every
ma where; silos, corncribs, hogs, larg,
zee red barns, and white houses; neat
= ly kept farm yards, windmills
al herds of cattle sleek and fat i
9IS bountiful pastures, school-houses
IOi- telephone lines, churches, goo
. 8 roads, clean, pretty towns-on
o. rushing, palatial passenger trains
en- over which we pass as if they wer
INK in '1ow-gear"-heavy laden freigh
and milk trains, carrying the pro
ma ducts of this wonderful land to tn
i1y' consuming thousands in the neal
by Omaha and to the industris
OH marts in other sections of thi
ear Union.
,,ssu ' AT OMAHA
de- 1t is now about six o'clock an
IN we should be nearing the Oman
Ills. landing field. On account of hea
winds and a late start we are cor
lies siderably behind our scheduled fly
1tv. ing time; the inner-man, too, tel
me that it must be time for some
on thing to eat-nothing but a col
on lunch since last night in Salt LAX
I'M City. Yes, he shoves the site
&c. forward, and we glide into tn
Omaha field. 1t must be quite
distance out from the city, bt
cause the town itself was NJ
sighted at all. 1t is very haz,
Just as we land the attendar
hands to me the crush" messag
My fears are now allayed-it SIM
e ly conveyed the information frol
aon the neutrality-suspicious. Line
cen New York that the Yep woul
and land at Lakehurst, n. j., at mic
frv. night, Wednesday. and would II
o,os main there four days. This hell
mob some, because l feared that l woul
cot not have sufficient time to atten
to certain essentials necessary b,
ond fore the trip, at Washington, b.
NV INV fore the big bag sailed on its wa

He motor again, and also advise tn;
ov- cold lunch is ready for me in IL
office-did not get into it vel

CO... en- and say 90. K.," take what
,ool, left with me--a piece of nice blu
vbin berry pie and cheese sandwich
+be away we go. The next landing

o o'rr flies low, and my soul feeds upC
the handiwork of man-mostly le'
ell prairie land, very rich; col
fields crowding one another In
lave the very avenues of traffic of Il
not cities and towns we pass. Fe
lock acres wasted here-itS corn al
is hogs and more hogs and cor
ges, 'Iowa. Iowa, where the tall col
ats; grows" The picture is unchang'
tat and delightful; now we sail ov
must the beautiful city of Des Moines-
the state fair is in progress; the ca
ross nival spirit is over the city, al
ippl the country folk who have mac

men is an up-to-date and lively al
and port; many ships of all make
t to government weather station, broa
they casting station, and night Eghtir
AXE system. Quite few people stan
niger ing about, and we are told Il

and crowd is gathering. They ha'
