either for the leasing or purchasing
of necessary lands will come from
an appropriation of $70,000 set aside
by the last Legislature.
The Aeronautics Commission will
shortly ask for bids for the con-

fields. Erection of the beacons are

$12,000,000 IS ASKED
FOR CIVIL WAR VETS.
Increasés in Civil War pensions
totaling $12,000,000 a year were
recommended by the House Invalid
Pensions Committee. Veterans re-
ceiving $65 a month would get $75;
those receiving $72 and $90 would
receive $100 and widows would re-
ceive a $40 a month pension at
the age of 70 instead of 75.
ELECTRIFY FARM
IN EXPERIMENT.
The Westinghouse Electric Com-
pany is undertaking an experimental
farm near Pittsburgh, believing
that the farmer’s hope is in efficient
operation rather than in politics, W.
S. Rugg, vice-president in charge
of engineering, Westinghouse Elec-
tric & Manufacturing Company, an-
nounces.
“Jt seems more than a coinci-
dence that farming, though one of
the biggest American industries,
is almost the only one that makes
little use of electricity, and is also
the one to have suffered perhaps
the severest depression. Today in
an electrified America, the farmer
cannot hold his own by the sweat
of human labor,” Mr. Rugg says.
“Though making electricity gen-
erally availableon the farm presents
difficulties, I believe Westinghouse
can help solve these as it helped
solve the problems of electric serv-
ice for city lighting, for power,
for transmission and for the rail-
roads: Farm life should by rights
be both pleasant and profitable—
universally available electricity will
do more than any other thing to
make it so.” :
PATH OF SUGAR.
“In 1642 sugar sold in the London
market at $2.75 per pound. At the
close of the Fifteenth century the
price had fallen to 53 cents a pound.
Sugar did not become a regular fea-
ture in the diet until it was intro-
duced by Queen Elizabeth of Eng-
land. The first reference to sugar
TERRIBLE WAR MACHINE
INVENTED BY BRITISH.
What is described as the most ap-
palling war weapon ever devised by
man is being forged secretly in
Great Britain, the “Daily Mail” has
anhounced.
This new horror is a combined fly-
ing torpedo and giant armored air-
plane, It functions without a crew,
its engines and courses con-
trolled by a clock-work “brain.” Its
hull is merely a receptacle for
bombs and will contain no space
for a human occupant. On either
side of the tapering, stream-lined
body will be a metal wing; in the
bow will be the engine and propel-
lor which will operate automatically,
and at the rear will be the control
surfaces, which will likewise be
automatic in their action.
Inside the hull, in an armored
container, will be a mechanical
“prain” consisting of a clockwork
device set beforehand to operate at
any time. After a pre-determined
distance has been flown the contri-
vance will cause the engine to stop
and the manless death-dealer will
immediately tilt and fall with a
crash.
COCONUT PROPAGATION
Coconuts are propagated differ-
ently from almost any form of fruit
or nuts. The coconut, as it forms
in the outer hull, is buried in the
ground, and the embryo gains
nourishment first from the coconut
milk, and as the growth of the
plant advances the white meat which
we eat becomes soft’ and
and also feeds the young plant.

After a certain stage of develop-
ment has been reached small roots

gear broke while a
farmer was plowing this spring. The nearest
agency where parts were available was ten miles
away. The farmer telephoned for a new gear
and arranged for its immediate delivery. Within
an hour the repairmen arrived, replaced the
broken part, and plowing was resumed without
the loss of more than an hour and a half.
