TRIUMPH FOR LIBERTY MOTOR ARMY PLANES WHIZ OVER GLA- | ; CIERS AND WOODED WILDER- 1 NESS Ford-built Liberty Motors carried ■ , the four army air-planes which on October 20 completed the 9,000 mile • journey from Mitchell Field, Long Is- . land, to Nome_ Alaska, and return. The fleet was greeted over New \ one ; - City by a flotilla of forty army planes , which escorted it to Mineola. The « returning planes touched their wheels ■ to earth at 8:15 in the afternoon. The Alaska Flying Expedition, commanded by Captain St. Clair Stret, , undertook the journey to demonstrate the durability of modern airplanes . and motors, and to effect the estab- - lishment of an arial route to the . Northwestern corner of the American Continent and Asia. Such a route , would bring mail from Alaska to the ' States in two or three days, whereas the present method of transmission requires thirty days. "Talk about the service," said Capt~in Street "Those planes and motors sure stood up. Why, the only trouble we had on the entire trip was caused by the worst bit of weather I've "ever flown through or want to fly through. We had everything— rain, snow, hail and sleet, clouds, fog and mist But we kept right on flying. "The 230 miles^of glaciers we traversed was a wonderful sight, but there would have been little hope for rescue had we cracked up in that wilderness. Altogether, it was a rough trip. I never want to fly through such weather again, but the planes stood it magnificently. Instead of battered hulks, flopping to earth after winded flight, they looked brand new. Even the turnbuckles were polished and the motors looked as if they had just come off the testing block. "We never changed a spark plug. Newer a cylinder missed on us the entire trip. The motors are in as good condition today as when we set out." * Before the flight all the pilots asked for ships equipped with Ford made Liberty motors. Due to the nature of the work which engaged the " expedition, the fleet required a period of three months to complete the trip. Since all of the original motors completed the journey without repairs or replacements, this is believed to' be>& record for arial navigation. It will be recalled that during the war, it was generally the (practice to overhaul the airplane motors after approximately each twenty .hours of flight. This is the second notable ever* in which Ford Liberty motors have figured prominently, the first being the trans-Atlantic jump of the Ford Lib-erty-equipped N-C-4, a feat which commanded world-wide interest. DISCRIMINATION AGAINST FARMERS. The farmers of this county have never asked for speaal favors frop the government — all they have asked is. far and equal treatment During the war, the government fixed a miximum price for 'the chief farm produets, but pursued no such policy with regard to other commodities. There was discrimination against the farmer. When the deflation process vras begun, it was started in such a way as to strike the farmer first, ana because it struck him first, the farmer was in particular need of a protective traiff. If given equal treatment with others, the farmer would ask no emergency tariff legislation. The discrimination which the farmer has suffered at the hands of the Democratic administration is the chief reason for special tariff legislation for the protection of farm products at the present time. It ^ going to be h*f to pesuade Babe Ruth that he doesn't deserve as much as Judge Landis gets. The worst thing about a mild winter is that it is so hard on the clothes you were expecting to save for next winter. Once it was insulting to tell a man to go to Halifax, but since Halifax has voted wet they will go there without being told. "A poet is born, not made," we arc informed, but amateur poets should make-it a practice never to be born. .That $40,000 peace prize came in very opportunely for Mr. Wilson, jusl he was buying a new home foi $150,000. There, little nickel, don't cry; you'll buy a cigar bye and bye! at
