Townsend, Aug. Reports from
the various districts in this county
indicate that the wheat crop this
season is slightly above a normal
one, the yield ranging from 25 to
40 bushels per acre. The low price
offered the farmers for their crop,
however, is real disappointment
to them. 1t has quite often been
the rule that farmers depended up
on the money received from wheat
to pay their fertilizer and other
bills contracted during the earlier
part of the year. The result will
be unable to meet their obligations.
The condition of Oscar D. Lock
erman who underwent an operation
for appendicitis at the Delaware
Hospital a few days ago, is show

AKRON, O., Aug. 5.-Goodyear
Zeppelin Company, builders Of the
U. S. Akron, giant navy dirigible,
plans to retain 300 skilled workmen
for immediate construction of the
zRS-4, sister ship Of the Akron,
officials of the company said today.
Confirming reports that the sec
ond aerial dreadnaught will be
started within five or six weeks, the
company officials said orders for
duralumin metal, the composition
used in building dirigible frame
work, already have been placed. The
work is scheduled to begin when the
government accepts the Akron, they
declared.
Although the government is fac
ing plans for rigid economy, officials
here expressed belief the ak would
not fall on the navy's "ighter-than-
air" construction program, which
calls for two super dirigibles The
navy department holds an option
for construction of the ZRS-4 at a
cost of $2,450,00O. The Akron is
costing the government $5,375,0OO
The Akron will be cIlristened Sat-

leases forty-eight homing pigeons
