AIR MAILMEN MAKE RECORDS . Service is Almost 98 Per Cent ' Perfect (By Newspaper Enterprise Ass’n.) Washington, D. C., Aug. 45.—The young men who are carrying mail by airplane between Washington, Phila- delphia and New York are making some records of which they are justly proud. Airplane mail routes are still, in their experimental stage, and it is in- teresting to find how reliable they are. The weather is interfering very little. The other day, Lieutenant Kilgore made a skillful fly from Philadelphia to Washington through a drenching rain all the way. He could not see 30 feet before him, but was obliged to steer his course entirely by compass. He broke his goggles just before starting and did not even have that protection for his eyes, but.he brought the mail through and landed in Wash- ington on schedule.. During the last month the mail carrying record by air- plane was almost 98 per cent perfect. Economy records have, been attain- ed. The total operating expenses of nine airplanes aggregating 7,234 miles of flight was $2,682. Total gas .con- sumption for 113 hours and 8 minutes ‘of flying was 1,377 gallons, which i> ‘$32.50 per hour, approximately 50 cents per mile. The average consumy:i line for the 9 machines lons per hour, ‘ A Curtiss J.

These divisions consist roughly of 40,000 men to a division. The provost marshal general showed it was necessary to dop to 1 years of age and go to 45 in order to get the men to carry it through. All the men obtained under the proposed change in the draft law, approximately 2,300,- 000 we expect to have in France by June 20, 1919. General March told the committee he was unqualifiedly opposed to ‘hav- ing the army contain many men other than the young men of the country. The war department has now adopt- ed. this as a policy and it is the policy of the United States that the military Program is to be centered in France. America's Job. The purpose of America’ is to fur- nish enough man power to' whip the Germans. The only way that Ger- many can be whipped is by: America going into this thing with her whole strength. It is up to us to win the war and| we can win it. How long it will take wil depend exactly upon what we do. \lf we drag along with this thing and put a small force over theretwe will be playing Germany's game. It ig my belief that with an American army of 4,000,000 in France under one com: mander-in-chief, we can go through the German ling whenever we please. Lean on Class One. “This,” the general added, ‘will let us lean on Class 1 until June 30 next year. We reached the conclusion that the enlarged program was necessary on June 30.” Secretary Baker explained the steps leading up to the change in the pro- gtam. “After the recess: of congress, the study went on,” the secretary contin- ued, ‘and it became clear to us that the 90 division plan was the maximum which we could hope to accomplish, and to accomplish that, it would be} necessary to changg the age limit from the present limit to from 18 to 45.” Meets With Approval. “The bill as it ig written meets with my entire approval,” declared Secre- tary Baker. Asked by Senator Johnson, of Cali- fornia, if he believed the pending bill was essential to carry out the purpose ‘of the United States in the war, the secretary repdiel: “I believe that to be the fact, My own judgment of it originally was that 19 should. be the. minimum and I came to the 18 minimum only after thorough study with the sdtuation but only after some reluctance but finally believing it to he necessary to secure the appropriate number of men.” Plans for beginning consideration in the senate-next Monday of the new man power bill extending the draft ages were blocked today by failure of a quorum to appear when Chairman Chamberlain of the military commit tee submitted the measure with a fav- orable report. / » Following failyre to secure quorum the senate adjourned until Monday. (penator Chamberlain éxpects to pre- sent the; man power bill by next “Thursday and hopes to have it passed by Saturday. —————————— OF LOCAL INTEREST Some People We Know, and We Wil!

THAT’S HOW OUR BOYS OVER THERE CARRY ON: They Just Make the Little Hearts of French Orphans Tingle With Joy—Their First Since War Began. * Ladies and gentlemen: Here’s an American sailor boy and his adopted daughter. He’s only one of thousands of our boys who have gone over there to fight and who have given of their time and money to the thousands of little French children made father- less and motherless by the murderous HUNS who sought to strike the morale of the French people by such an avalanche of frightfulness as no other barbarian ever thought of. The French government has given its permission for the adoption! of these children by American soldiers and sailors. As you may be sure the kiddies are glad. Since their parents died they have had pretty hard sledding, no homes, little’ food and tattered clothes. Now their foster dads see that they are well clothed, well fed and as happy as *® little orphan in a HUN- swept land can,be. Our boys do all that with their spare money. Some of these boys will bring their adopted sons and daugh- ters back home with them when the war’s over. ‘That “girl he left behind him” may be a bit surprised when her soldier or sailor man comes marching home with a ready-made family tugging along after him. But we'll say she’ll like the little tot he brings. \while attending high school. - The “'WIGH SCHOOL NOTICE . : Superintendent and Principal’ desire * Between this'time and Sept. 1, the office of the Superintendent of Schools will be asked frequently to recommend homes where girls and boys may work that all parents wishing to have a girl or boy in their homes will. com- municate such ‘wish to. efther Mr. Martin Phone 835 or My.

HOLDEN HE proper cultivation of ‘corn is essential for a good. ylela. Too 4 many-of us are careless and neglectful when it-comes to cultivation, and hen the yield is poor as the result of improper caltivation we lay the blame to the seed,.to the soll, to the weather—to afything but ourselves. ‘Early in the season we often fail to cultivate as frequently as we should and allow the weeds to get. start, or the moisture in the soil to evaporate too rapidly, Later in the season we attempt to make up for our previous neglect by cultivating deeply. This results in the plow’s cutting off the roots of the corn and stopping its growth and development. Important-Things to Remember. The’ two important things to remember are: Early cultivation of corn should be level and frequent. Early cultivation may be deep; later cultivation should always be shallow. Frequent cultivation early in the season js important. Many of us think ‘that after corn is-planted it needs no cultivation for two weeks, or until it is out of the ground and has at- THE LAST CULTIVATION tained a good growth, ' SHOULD BE SHALLOW But when the ground fs not cultivated for two weeks or more after the corn is planted it often, becomes foul with weeds, Which take up the mois- ture and plant food. It also makes it dificult to work the corn, for the ground, packed by the rain and baked: by the suny kecomes hard and dry. We must bear in mind that the best time to kjll weeds is before they come up; before “they have a chance to get a start; before they deprive the corn of moisture and nourish- ment. Care should always be taken that corn“is not stunted while young as, even under the Most favorable circumstances, it never fully recoyers, There is no danger to the roots from deep cultivation the first time, and there is a great advantage in going deep enough to secure a good mulch, ’ Z Blind Cultivation Helps, Blind cultivation—cultivating the corn before it comes up—following the planter marks and throwing the dirt away from the rows, is an excellent practice. In a day or so follow, with a harrow. in the-same direction. This saves moisture, kills the weeds and keeps the ground from getting hard and cracked, Later cultivation should be no deeper than is necessary to keep the ground clean. Many cultivate the ground as though the roots went straight down instead of spreading out through the surface of the soll. It is very important that we disturb the roots as little as possible when the corn is laid-by. Experiments show that deep cultivation at the time of “laying by”. the corn reduces the yield, because the roots of the corn are cut off and its growth and development are impaired or stopped.
