One man in New York three years ago dreamed of an airboat with wings to fly from the new shores to the old countries and Saturday saw the fulfill ment of a dream in the accomplished fact. All honor to American pluck. All praise to American capital. All confidence in American workmanship. All credit and thanks to the persevering Americans. What is it that we cannot do when we set our selves to work at it faithfully? It is almost a settled fact that America refuses to believe that there is anything that she cannot do if it ought to be done. It was so: She fought through to success the Revolutionary War! She entered the recent World War, alongside of the Allies, because she saw her duly to do so! When we know we are right, we dare to undertake to surpass all records! Which way shall our next step be? Difficulties only challenge us to larger things! Signed' May 19, 1919. -Ov -Sfe.
