Where Corn Is Cheap

One cent was the price Of a dozen ears Of sweet corn
in Kansas City on the 29th day of July. There was a
reason for it. Heat and insects reign in the midwest, and
the heat has matured the roasting years rapidly making
an abundance of corn available for market. One Kansas
City merchant bought an entire field 50 cheaply he was
enabled TO retail his wares at the record low price Of a
penny for a dozen. Place this in the scrap book, it may
never happen again.

STAR OF CITYS
SKYWAYS SHOW
Dedication Over, Airport
Gets Down to Its Bust
ness Routine.
BY LOWELL NUSsBAUM
Times Aultion Editor

Municipal airport today settled
down to its ordinary business rou-
tine following a brilliant three-day
dedication program which was
brought to a close late Sunday.
Unmarried by accidents, despite
the dozens of planes constantly
flashing through the sky in daring
maneuvers. city officials and visit
ing pilots we're unanimous in de-
claring the dedication a great
success.
The only drawback was the heavy
rain which forced postponement of
Friday afternoons program, and
the chilliness and high winds of
Saturday and Sunday, which re-
duced the attendance.
High point on Sundays program
was departure Of Major Jimmy Doc
little for Chicago, after he had
flashed across the field in his re-
cord-breaking Laird at a speed esti-
mated at 300 miles an hour.
DooIittIe Sets Record
In the face of a stiff headwind
Doolittle streaked to Chicago,
flight Of 166 air miles, to have his
plane streamlined to increase its
speed, in the record time of as min
utes, an average of 216 miles an
hour.
Previously he had set a new record
for the 235 miles from st. Louis to
Indianapolis in 81 minutes, an av-
erage of 246 miles an hour
Other thrilling events on Sun
days program included series of
astonishing stunts performed by
Miss Dorothy Hester, Americas most
daring woman pilot; an acrobatic
contest won by Freddie Lund, pre-
mier commercial sumter; several
speedy races, departure of more
than seventy-five visiting army,
navy and national guard planes,
parachute jump by Gene Rock, FIT.
Wayne, in which he dropped more
than 5000 feet before opening his
parachute, and ten parachute jump
ers leaping almost simultaneously
from tri-motored Ford.
Crash Barely Averted
An interesting exhibition of flying
also was given by Captain Lewis
Yancey, Transatlantic flier, in the
Champion Spark Plug autogiro.
The thousands of spectators re-
ceived probably their greatest thrill
when commercial plane, which
took off during the national guard
race, narrowly escaped being struck
by fast guard plane flown in the
race by Captain Earl w. Sweeney.
Spectators gasped with horror as
