Chmn. Legge's Warning To
Farmers

Chmn. Legge Of the federal farm board has sound
ed q warning that livestock growers must substitute
wheat and other small grains for corn IN feeding If
a normal supply of meat. dairy products and poultry
Is to be produced this winter. In addition to being a
measure Of economy for the producer, Chmn. Legge
advised this substitution should have a beneficial eff
feet on the situation Of the wheat market. He re-
minded the public that all OF the small grains are
selling at substantially lower prices than corn.
Chmn. Legge renewed his appeal for reduced wheat
acreage as the first essential step In the improve
ment Of the farmers economic condition. He declared
that production must be adjusted downward until 1t
Is exceeded by the domestic demand. Furthermore
when such a point Is reached the farmer will get the
advantage of tariff protection and increased produc-
ton elsewhere will have no effect on American
agriculture. Reduced acreage applies to cotton as
well as wheat. Lest We forget according to the depart
nent OF agriculture. drouth and winged pests have
played havoc Of late in the cotton fields Of Texas and
crop estimates OF August may be all out Of joint in
the near future. Chmn. Legge surrendered a position
paying 100000 a year for government Job with a
salary of $4,000 a year attached. He was drafted. He
has been UP against the real thing.
Office holding carries its own worries and perplex-
tiles. In his nomination speech Gov. Roosevelt OF New
York christened al smith The Happy Warrior" II
fitted Smith. He has been happy ever since an adj
verse verdict placed Herbert Hoover in the presid-
entail chair. 1t was a lucky defeat for Smith and a
luckier defeat for the democratic party.

The town council OF Lowestoft. England. discovered
the ether day that their town had a law f~orbidding
any male at a public bathing beach from coming
WITHIN 100 yards Of any female bather.
This law had been passed in 1854. in response to
some bit OF early-victorian prudery. After enjoying q
good laugh. the city fathers repealed 1t. and co-educ-
ational bathing parties at Lowestoft are now Just as
legal as they are anywhere else.
All Of this. Of course. Is very amusing: but suppose
that law had been discovered on the statue books of
some American town. Would the city dads have had
toe courage to repeal it? Or would they have decided
that to do so might conceivably offend some organic
ed minority Of the easly-shocked? Isn't 1t quite pos
sible that they would simply have let the law remain
a Law. tipping off everybody, meanwhile. that no one
needed to pay any attention to it7
AT any rate. that's the way we do with most OF our
out-rnoded laws.

The Once Over
NEWER AND FASTER TICKERs.

Copyright 1890 BY The Associated Newspapers
wal street has installed the new high speed
tickers. The country Is unanimous In asking "Why?"
Even the old ticker is far too fast for It these days.
The new machine can record 500 characters a
minute, which Is more than are appearing Just now
in q week. Three hundred per minute was par for
the old ticker and anything like that today would
seem like another Coolidge prosperity market.
The old machine couldn't keep up with the trad
,ng. But the new one IS SO far out ahead Of the trad
tnr that the brokers are lubricating 1t with sleeping
drugs.
When the new high speed tickers we're ordered the
stock market was all In a lather and the old ms
truments were too slow TO record the hysteria in time

The new tickers were contracted for az a cost of
sz.500.OO but at that time this looked like a mere
overnight profit In National Potato Washer rights.
Ever since last October the old tickers have been 50
unUccupied that a couple OF ticks were sufficient to
Jar brokers out Of a sound sleep.
Now that they're installed, the snapper tlckers
look very pretty but 1t Is the general opinion they
will have to wait some time for a good stiff workout.
No real road test Il expected before 1891.
There is already talk Of rewriting them SO they can
Groom slumber songs between quotations.
In appearance they are much different from the
cd cnes. The old ones had certain aspects of a gold
fish bowl or wax-flower container. The new one has
snapper lines. an electric cigar lighter and all the
dash.
But both tickers are alike in one respect: they have
no shock absorbers, front or rear.

Control Is Invented
for Airplane's Wings

Flint Mich. George Gardner, Flint
engineer, has sent an operating model
of his new mechanical airplane wing
control to DR.. Alexander klemin, head
of the aeronautics school at New York
university, for wind tunnel tests.
Gardeners invention would make It
possible for pilot to adjust the an
gle of his wings to suit his movements
in the air. Both wings move as
unit, their angle being changed as the
plane moves through the air by lev
er in the cockpit. The wings may be
locked in any position by means OF a
brake which can withstand terrific air
pressure, according to Gardner. Steel
tubing extends through the center OF
both wings and fuselage for strength.
Gardner believes his invention will
make it possible to pull planes out OF
dives and spins and will improve take
offs and load carrying ability. For
night flying a set of lights is provided
to inform the pilot of the exact ad-
justment of the wings.

FUNDS NOT TO

Montana Farmers OF The Northwest
Section Say Congress Failed to

1t appears that the congress of the
United States failed TO realize that
Montana farmers, as we'll as others
are operating now days with modern
equipment when our national law
makers formulated the seed and feed
loan bill
Last week when a number of Val
ley county farmers made application
for federal seed loans at Helena were
in measure disappointed since one
of the terms of agreement on the part
of the government maintains that
money received must not be used for
purchase of gasoline.
The farmers say that senators
who put this across at Washington
fail to realize that this is horseless
age to a great extent" but stipulate
in the agreement that money can be
used for feed and seed but not feed
for tractors"

NEED 10000 PILOTS
FOR MILITARY DUTY
Army Air Chief Believes in
Preparedness.

Washington.-For a major emer.
gency the United States should have
10000 trained military pilots upon
whom it could call for immediate
service. in the opinion of Maj. Gen.
James e. Fechet, chief of the army
air corps. OF this number there should
be $500 in actual service In the regu.
lar army. he believes.
In testifying before subcommittee
of the house appropriations committee
during consideration of the War de-
partment appropriations bill. General
Fechet declared that there are only
1000 first-class pilots in the country
who are fit for military service with
out special training. These men are
in the army and navy air services or
are kept in continuous training through
the reserve system. There are 1,064
reserve pilots ready for emergency
duty, he said.
The ordinary commercial pilot who
has had no military training is not
available for emergency duty, General
Feehet pointed out. Before he can be
used he must be given a general MILL
tary training. Many commercial flyers
never can be qualified as military
pilots because they fail to possess
qualifications which fighting pilot
must have, but which are not required
for ordinary flying.
The military pilot must fly instinc-
lively and not mechanically, he de-
clared. He must be able to fly tight,
close formations and to carry out his
work without endangering the other
men.
"Some men," said the air crops
chief, "cannot fly that way, because
they just absolutely cannot fly close
Their nervous makeup prevents them
from doing it. Others, when they are
close, are so occupied in watching
the other Ships that they make poor
formation flyers"
In addition, the military pilot must
know the use of machine guns, the
use of bomb sights and the dropping
of bombs, aerial photography and OBJ
servation work. He must have mill
tary training, ground work on engines
and instruments and navigation. He
must know enough of military tactics
and operation to cooperate intelli
gently with ground forces. Many com
mercial pilots would require from two
to eight months training to become
good military pilots, General Feche
estimated.

new DEVICE GUIDES
PLANE THROUGH FOG
Continuance Adaptation of
Plan Used During War.

Chieago.-A new device designed to
guide airplanes through darkness and
fog, the bugaboos of all airmen, was
given its first public demonstration re-
Gently by its inventor, Earl G. Hanson,
at the Ford Transport exhibit in the
One Hundred and Thirty-irst regiment
armory.

of secret tests conducted at the Ford
airport at Lansing, ILL.,, where planes

weather and brought to the ground

inventor Is Chicagoan.
Mr.. Hanson, a Chicagoan, explained
that the new contrivance is an adap-
tation of the device used by the allies
during the war to tap the enemies
wires. 1t is now being used in har-
bors to guide ships along treacherous
channels and through thick fog, he
said.
Aviation experts who inspected the
miniature device installed at the arm.
ory proclaimed it one of the foremost
developments in the efforts being
made to combat the dangers of flying
In conditions of poor visibility,
source of peril for air travellers.
Mr.. Hudson's device is based on the
principle of electromagnetic Undue
ton. Two series of energized cables
are laid on the ground leading to an
airport. The cables are parallel and
each series gives off a signal code,
one a series of dashes and the other a
series of dots, so that pilot flying
into a fogbound field picks up a con-
tinuous signal by flying middle path
between the cables. This signal grows
in intensity until the plane reaches
the edge of the field where another
loop of cables, called the "gun coil"
gives the signal to cut motors and
glide to landing.
Besides providing steady and con-
tinuous directional signal, the cable
also gives the pilot an exact reading
of his actual height above the ground
"a distinct improvement over the
present altimeter. The altitude and
directional readings may be transmit
ted to the pilot by head phones, cali
brated meter or by system of
lights on the instrument board.
Adds to Directional Beacon.
Last year saw the development OF
the radio directional beacon for guild
ing pilots along the air lines, but there
previously has been no simple, depend
able means evolved to direct the flyer
through thick fog to a landing after
he has arrived over the airport of his
destination.
The cable system is not limited to
its use to airport approaches, accord
ing to the inventor. He explained
that through the aid of cables laid
across country, pilots will be able to
follow a course over the most treach-
erous mountains, being able to keep to
a direct course and at a safe altitude
by the continuous invisible path set
up by signals.

Montana Claims First
Aerial Sheep Herder

First the name of Ear Vance
was synonymous with aviation
in Montana; then it became in
the last few years associated
with sheep raising, highly re-
munerative pursuit with pre-
vailing wool prices.
Now the erstwhile Miles City
(Mont.) pioneer pilot has
brought his two loves together,
and he is an aerial-sheep herder.
Vance in his idle moments
runs the principal air taxi serv-
ice there. He also owns several
flocks of "woolies." But his
sheep, as all other good sheep
do in the Rockies, have habit
of straying, so Earl hops in his
single-seater biplane and goes
a-hunting. To date he has re-
captured three recalcitrant
bands of sheep that strayed
from their grazing grounds.
"They're the easiest things In
the world to spot from the air."
remarks Vance. 81 don't know

bands, but If | see a bunch that
is in a pocket of the mountains
alone, | know darned we'll they
