Washington, Dec. 22. Inferiority
in number but superiority in mate
rial, design and general efficiency
distinguishes the American air ser
vice as compared with those of other
countries. Secretary Wiibur and
Rear Admiral Moffet, chief of the
bureau of aeronautics, today told the
special house aircraft investigating
committee.
"We feel we are not behind." the
secretary testified. "As far as the
navy is concerned, the condition is
satisfactory except that we need
more ships. I believe that no ether
nation has anything better than we
have."
Admiral Moffet was of the same
opinion, saying. "Nobody is ahead of
us; in fact, we are leading."
"We are so far ahead of anybody
else in naval aviation," he added,
"that it will take a long time to
catch np."
New Types Besinsfed
The superiority existed. Admiral
Moffet said, despite that only 224
of th 840 planes of all kinds be
longing to the navy would be relied
upon for satisfactory operation un
der war conditions. Most of thse
224 planes were bnilt during the last
three years and already were begin
ning to he obsolete, he told the com
mittee, because new types were being
designed which were the superior of
any in the world.
The T'nited States, the admiral
continued, was far ahead of any
other country in the development of
special airplanes for use afloat, the
catapault system of launching bomb
ing machines from rhips, for in
stance, bring a thoroughly American
invention. Poinin:? out thrt 117
planes were on duty afloat. Novem
ber 1. he said the department in
tended to supply all battleships with
two fighting and one observation
plane and destroyers with one ma
chine. Both Secretary Wilbur and Ad
miral Moffet. with suggestions that
the next war would be waged en
tirely in air. asserting that the ne
cessity for landing bases and rela
tively limited range of action would
always subordinate airships in im
portance to floating ships. Secre
tary Wilbur said that ap?rt from
their scouting activities, olanes were
"trifling" addition to warfare,
while Admiral Moffet declared "the
air is merely a new arm but will not
displace anything."
Oppose Unified Service
Doth witnesses also opposed the
proposal for a unified air service, ex
pressing the opinion that naval air
craft should he controlled only by
persons thoroughly conversant with
navffl conditions and problems.
Talk of the possibility of an inva
sion of the I'nitfd State3 in case of
war by means cf aircraft alone was
described by the admiral as foolish.
Such an invasion, he said, could be
made only by use of floating bases,
sucl as aeroplane carriers, or perma
nent bases on the American conti
nent. The recent world flight, he
explained, disciosed that aviation,
as an independent force, could not
at present act across an ocean.
The committee decided after to
day's hen ring to recess for the
Christmas holiday until December
29.
Armani Conference Ext. Agents.
The conference will be held in
Lincolnfl Dec. 21, Jan. 2 to 5. On
these dates I will be in Lincoln. At

tehslon work. Farrel of the Agri

Fun Feed Will Again Be Held.
The Farmers Family Fun Feed will

cultural week that is to be held at the
Agricultural College. Lincoln. Jan.
6 to 9. The annual event will be
held on Wednesday evening following
the second day's program. The
program committee are keeping
nothing in reserve this year
In planning the entertainment and
more prize beeves have been pro
duced during the year for the feast.
Tickets will be sold at each meeting
during the first part of the week.
Farmers are asked to buy their tic
kets as soon as they reach the col
lege so they will not be disappointed.
The seating capacity of the largest
room at the college is woefully small
to accommodate the crowd that will
want to attend, the pa3t experience
of the committee has shown.
Seeing Things.
One of the Cass county farmers
who kept a farm account book in
1923 found he had returns of only
$1.02 for each dollars worth of feed
to productive livestock. He knew
that something was wrong with his
business. He called upon his friend
a few miles distant and found that he
had secured $1.70. The man with
the lower returns was surprised and
wanted to know the cause of the
differences. He investigated and as a
result has made changes in his prac
tices. His farm account book had
pointed the way to greater profits.

ever favored a business with their patronage. . To each of you,
we tender our sincere thanks and express the hope that the New
