"BUD" MARS'
MANY ESCAPES
Nervy
Aviator a Victim of Pre
vious Accidents,
TOOK AVIATION TO FAR EAST.
Made Two Hundred and Fifty Flights
In Orient and Created Prodigious
Excitement Japan Wanted a Fleet
of Aeroplanes.
J. C. (Bud) Mars, who was hurt
when ho fell with his aeroplane at
Erie, Pa., Is rapidly recovering.
Mars Is one of the most picturesque
and daring of the fliers and in llttlo
raoro than a. year has made his name
famous as an acroplanlst in many
parts of the world.
It was shortly after the Los Angeles
aviation meet, early In 1010, whero
Mars made . several sensational bal
loon flights, soaring to tremendous
heights, that he went to Hammonds'
port, N. Y., and became a pupil of
.Glenn II. Curtlss. Less than six weeks
after that he was on the road giving
exhibition flights in an aeroplane and
startling thousands by his daring.
Last December Mars started for tho
orient Ho returned early in June,
after having made 250 flights and leav
ing tho populace of country after coon
try agape with wonder. He was the
first to carry aviation to the far east.
Mars spent his childhood days on
the shore of Lake Michigan, but early
wont to Chicago to win his fortune.
Ho tried tho theater and from that
drifted to the circus, making his first
appearance in a trapeze act and later
becoming the understudy of a high
diver. For some months he was a
"spectacular attraction" and won a
name for fearlessness and daring.
Ballooning With Baldwin.
He next came before tho public as
a pupil of Captain Thomas S. Baldwin,
the balloonist, and soon was appearing
at exhibitions as "Mars, the lion nerved
daredevil." He was then sixteen
years old, and ever since ho has made
his living by the conquest of tho air,
He early experimented with the "gild'
er," which he christened tho "Fool Kill
er," and with this contrivance gave
exhibitions.
Mars became associated with Israel
Ludlow during the Jamestown expo.
sltion, and they built a number of hugo
men carrying kites, with which they
made experiments over Hampton
Roads.
After the Jamestown exposition Mare
formed the United Balloon corpora
tion, having interested nearly all the
aeronauts in the country and several
capitalists in tho venture. The finan
clol depression of 1007 wiped the cor
poration out and Mars' own fortune
too.
It was in the fall of 1000 that Mars
became official pilot of the Oakland
(Cal.) Aero club. It was while making
his balloon flights at Los Angeles, ear
ly in 1010, that Mars was attracted by
the possibilities of the aeroplane, and
his reputation attracted the attention
of Mr. Curtlss.
Mars made his first professional aero
plane flight in Memphis, Tenn., shar
ing the honors of the day with Cur
tlss. He had a narrow escape from
death that day as his aeroplane bump
ed into an automobile.
In August, 1010, Mars made a num
ber of spectacular flights at the
Shcepshcad bay race track and on
Aug. 27 almost came to grief in an at
tempt to fly from tho course across
the Narrows. He was carried to sea
by a strong wind, and when opposite
the Atlantic Yacht club his machine
collapsed. He was then 1,000 feet in
the air. He was picked up by a tug
little the worse for his experience and
taken to Sea Gate.
Oriental Tour Made Mars Famous,
It was by his trip to the orient
shortly after tho Belmont park meet
lust fall, that Mars made bis naino
known all over the world. The party
that started on this trip Included Cap
tain Baldwin, Mars, two agents, three
mechanics, Tod Shriver and his wife
and Mrs. Macs. They showed in this
country at Norfolk, Denver, Phoenix
and Stockton and left San Francisco
in December. Captain Baldwin stop
ped in Japan.
In Japan Mars flow at Osaka, Kobe,
Nagoya, Tokyo and Yokohama, and at
Osaka there was tho biggest crowd
that ever witnessed an aviation per
formance. At least 7CO.O00 peoplo saw
the flight.
"The people Just ato it up," said
Mars, "the upper class and the rabble
alike. They wanted to know how soon
they could have a fleet of them.''
In Japan, as well aa in the other
countries where he flew, Mars and his
party were treated royally. In ono of
his flights in Japan he reached an alt!
tudo of 0,500 feet, a bit of daring that
won for him the admiration of tho
populace.
In China Mars flow at Poking and
at Tientsin, and at first his flights
threw the people into a panic. In In-
din and tn tho Islands under Eng
lish domination Mars and his party
received every sort of honor that tho
native potentates could bestow. He
nlso flew at Manila, in Honolulu, Su
matra, Java, Singapore, Calcutta, Ko
rea, Slam. Siberia, Kussla and Poland.
At Bankok, in Slain, Mara took tho
king of Slam as a passenger for
twelve mllo flight. His last flight
abroad was made at Warsaw late In
May
Grasshoppers Injuring Alfalfa.
We have been accustomed to ig
nore tho importance of grasshopper
Injury In tho Eastern States, and to
think of these Insects chiefly as
pests of tho central and western por
tions of the United States. The fol
lowing correspondence between an
extensive mlno superintendent and
State Zoologist H. A. Surface gives
timely Information on this subject:
The former wrote: "In May or
last year we seeded eight acres of
alfalfa. In June we cut six tons of
hay; as soon as tho second crop
commenced to shoot, it was practi
cally eaten up by grasshoppers. This
year we had about tho samo experi
ence: our first cutting was very
poor as each root put up but about
one stalk. The second crop, how
ever, was nicely started, with from
five to twelve stalks to the root, and
a good color. Now I find that tho
grasshoppers have nearly destroyed
the crop. Is there any remedy for
them? Our company has a
thousand acres of surface and can
use up most of the hay, but so far
the grasshoppers have destroyed
what would have been the two best
cuttings."
To this Professor Surface replied
as follows:
"I note with great interest that
you recognize the destruction of
grasshoppers to the hay crop, and
especially to alfalfa. This Is some
thing that has not received proper
attention In Eastern America. These
pests are far more destructive than
Is usually supposed. I am satisfied
that sometimes fifty per cent, of the
hay crop Is destroyed by grasshop
pers, but we do not realize this.
Also, I learn from observation
that alfalfa is especially subject to
this pest, as you suggest. It Is prob
ably because of its continuous suc
culent growth. There Is no known
remedy that has been suliicientiy
tried to prove such as to justify us
In recommending It without ques
tion, but I would suggest that plan
f mowing and removing the crop,
and then at once spraying the stub
ble with two pounds of arsenate of
lead In fifty gallons of water; or In
mowing all but a small strip in the
centre of the field, and spraying
this, and killing the grasshoppers
upon It, and then do not use this
particular strip for bay. If you
spray the stubble the new crop com
ing on will not be poisoned, and will
be ready for use for hay when it is
high enough.
You know how the grasshoppers
gradually jump away from the mow
Ing machine toward tho middle of
the field as you mow around it. The
mowing could be done In such a way
as to drive them pretty well toward
tho middle, and there they could be
exterminated by spraying with a
crop sprayer, the same as is used for
potatoes. If this is not done the
pests accumulate, and become more
and more in number each year.
The alfalfa field is particularly
adapted to the Increase of such
Dests. for tho reason that this crop
remains in the field sometimes for
several years, and thus the import
ant method of past control by means
of orop rotation Is not possinie. urns
Is ono feature that must ne consia-
ered in the growing of alfalfa. As
surely as you let the grasshoppers or
other pests attack this crop un
checked, and multiply in the field
ear after year, they will prove more
and more seriously destructive. Ono
of tho two methods suggested above
should help to give relief from them.
I. therefore, earnestly recommend
prompt attention In this regard, and
hope to hear of your results later."
BE A BOOSTEIt.
Do you know there's lots o' people
Settln' round In every town,
Growlin' like a broody chicken,
Knockln' every good thing down?
Don't you bo that kind o' cattle,
'Cause they nln't no use on earth,
You just be a booster rooster,
Crow an' boost for all you're
worth
If your town needs boostln', boost
or
Don't hold back to wait and seo
If some other fellow's wllllnf
Sail right In, tho country's free.
No one'B got a mortgage on it.
It's just yours as much as his,
If your town Is shy on boosters,
You get in the boostln' biz.
If things Just don' seem to suit you,
"And the world goes kinder wrong,
What's tho matter with a boostln'
Just to help the thing along.
Then If things should stop a-goln'
We'd be in a sorry plight;
You just keep that horn a-blowln'
Boost 'er up with an your mignt,
If you know some feller's fallln's,
" Just fergot 'em, cause you know
That same feller't got some good
nolnts.
Them's the ones you want to
show.
"Cast your loaves out on the wa
ters,
They'll come back" s a saying
true,
Mcbbe too, they'll come back buttered
When some feller boosts fer you.

THE POPULATION CENTRE.
The Census Bureau announces that
the centre of population of tho Unit
ed States has moved westward 31
miles and northward seven-tenths of
a mile, which brings it to a point 4 Vi
miles south of Unlonvllle, in Monroe
county, Ind. Of course, it is perfect
ly possible that the so-called centre
jo einiiisop oq svm uonmnaoa jo
innaoitants; tuo term merely sigm
fles the intersection of lines latltudl
nally and longitudinally halving the
entire population or the country, ex-
elusive of Alaska and our insular
possessions. The geographical cen
tre of the united states, in .Northern
Kansas, Is some 550 miles west of
tho centre of population.
It Is interesting to note how tho
westward trend of the population
since 1790, the date of the llrst cen
sus, has steadily confirmed Bishop
Berkeley 8 dictum ana made it plain
that many pioneers have followed
the counsel of Horace Greeley. In
1790 the centre was a few miles
east of Baltimore; ten years later
It had moved to a point 20 miles
west of that city, and by 1810 it
was some 30 miles northwest o
Washington. In 1850 it was ap
proximately 20 miles to the south
east of Parkersburg, W. Va., which
Is about as far south as It has ever
been. Its "farthest north" seems to
have been Its location at the time
of the first census, and it is interest
ing to note that as it moved west
ward it still continued to cling very
closely to tho 39th parallel of lati
tude. Between 18&U ana iou
traveled a distance of very nearly
70 miles, so that Its progress -by th
latest decennial reckoning Is not
tho longest; nevertheless, owing to
tho recent rapid development of the
Pacific and the Southwestern States
tho progress from 1900 to 1910 was
more than twico that of the pre
ceding decade namely, 14 miles.
The movement of the centra
population proves the courageous
initiative of the native born, as well
as demonstrating the trend of Euro
pean immigration in quest of arable
areas. Edmund Burke on the eve
of tho Revolution was quite right
in his assertion that nothing could
check the inclination of the Ameri
can colonists to overflow the bar
riers of tho Alleghenies Into the
great unpeopled Western wilderness,
Tho charted lines showing the more
ment of the population of this coun
try of magnificent distances are elo
quent of the Indomitable spirit of the
pioneers transmitted from tho fore
fathers to tho ambitious enterprises
of their present-day descendants.
