a heavier sentence than that given In
Police Court, from which the case was
appealed, was given Richard c. Burnett,
SO, who lives at King and West streets,
In Corporation Court yesterday on
charges of possession and storing for
sale of alleged whisky. Burnett re-
cetved a sentence of three months In

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, November
22.--The local post Of the American
Legion has launched q movement to
gathered funds for relief of the unem-
ployed here independently Of the Com
munity Chest fund, whose drive Is In
progress ut present.
The explanation by the post was that
the chest fund had failed to include
funds for the hospitals here, previ-
ouly included. A statement by the
chest management later said the
County Court, heretofore giving its con-
trtbuttons to the chest fund, but which
are limited by law to application tc
relief of needy county charges, would
be responsible as usual for this assist
ance, but would give it directly to the
hospitals.
The Legion post aimed to secure
pledges Of 500 q week to run until
May. The Ladies' Auxiliary to the post
is cooperating in the movement.

Diversity
(Emmons County Record)

(Emmons County Record)
Ordinarily, when one speaks of "diversifylng." the
audience naturally thinks of mixed farming. That IS
Just what it means, but the accepted plan is a rotation
of clover, corn, grain, barley, etc., with stock to feed,
cows for milk and hens for eggs and sale. That is the
generally accepted scheme of diversified farming.
Once in a while some fellow ~sidesteps the general
plan, and conceives and executes a diversified plan, OF
his or her own.. For instance. note the diversifylng plan
of Mr.. Splonskowski ofsBraddock. He put in Is acres OF
potatoes on summer fallowed. land this year. What
is the result? He is digging about 65 bushels OF potatoes
off every acre, and selling them at $145 per bushel
Take your pencil and figure it. Of course If this had
happened to be a big potato year, the story would have
been different. But how many potatoes has the average
farmer got for sale this year?
There are many actual dirt farmers who will have to
buy their potatoes this year. Few back lot farmers IN
town have raised their winter supply. This OF course,
has been a poor potato year, but still those who have
planted carefully, cultivated continuously, used sprays
as necessity demanded, etc., have been successful in
raising their spuds.
Beans. How many of us have raised beans this year
that is, enough for the family table, not to say any
thing about a supply for sale? This was a good bean
year. And beans will be worth good money. Good old
navy beans. Five acres of beans this year, well cared
for, would probably bring more clear cash than any So
acres of wheat grown. Melons. too, would have been q
good bet. A fellow from Fl. Yates was in the city last
Saturday with q few fine melons weighing from ten
to twenty-five pounds each. His little load probably
Melted him from $40 to SIS. What would he have done
had he raised ten acres?

Traffic and Health

FARO Agha found conditions for life In his native
Turkey highly favorable, and reached the age Of Isl
years without trouble: or 50, at least. his press agents
insist. However, visiting America to see and be seen
he promptly falls victim to modern traffic congestion
and gets hit by an automobile before he can even gel
past New York.
It doesn't do to inspect each incident of daily life too
closely, in the hope Of finding a moral Nevertheless
there is something rather apt about FARO Ashas mishap
The ordinary conditions Of health. sanitation and medi-
cal care in this country are almost infinitely better than
they are in Turkey; but a centenariap is likely to find
that we have raised up new perils to counterbalance
things. Faro Agha may be freer from the menace OF
disease here than at home-but II he had stayed at home
he at least would not have been endangered by auto
mobiles.

America in the Air

Detroit Free PreSS)
There is pardonable satisfaction in the statement
given out by the League Of Nations communication
and transport section at Geneva, which reveals that
Of the 40, o0O,O 900 miles flown by freight and passenger
carrying planes in 1929, nearly one-haf is credited tc
this country. One inclined to criticize the United States
for its frequently charged lack of air-mindness is cheersd
by the knowledge that the mileage here over the
period covered in the report was almost four times as
great as that of either France or ermany-,quadrupled
the totals of Great. and Italy until the map is
consulted. Then the difference in distances in the
United States and the European countries. which were
in the front rank necessitates a slight revision Of stand
ards, although it still leaves us in a very creditable
position.
From London to Paris is practically the same distance
as from Detroit to Chicago, which we do not count much
of a hop in the matter of miles. London to Berlin Is
a trifle further than from Detroit to New York. ia
approach a trip across the United States from east t1
west it would be necessary to journey from Leningrad
to Lisbon. and back to Madrid. To use another COM
parison, Germany, with only a trifle more than q quar-;
ter of the mileage rolled up here, carried freight ano
passengers to ten different countries on regular SEIZED;
ules. If the flight records established in the United
States were compressed into any one Of the European
countries noted, the multiplicity of machines in the all
all the time would be a source of amazement even to
the more air-minded in those lands.
