signalled by the chscovery jn the
heavens ot new luminous spots which
astronomers take for new stars.
This is the sober judgment of Ed

Charles NordmanH. of the Observa
tory of Paris, one of the best known
astonomers in the world.

too powerful instruments to permit

"There are several reasons Vhy

with such ramditv as to draw reap

Ozark Farmers Fly to

By J. G. L. BRICKER.
Intarn&tlonal News SefVlos Staff

Poplar Bluffs, Mo., Nov. 6. "Fly

'igbting the high cost of living from
the air.
With nationwide clamor for in
creased production to aid in bringing
down food price?, agriculturists ii:

toward more intensive farming.

Planes Replace Autos.
Transportation of farm products
in large quantities has not yet been
tried, but from their experience in
transporting small quantities for
their own consumption and to nearby
rifcaxkets, the "Flying Farmers" pre-

J eggs, butter, fresh milk, live poultry

solved, they say, the city dweller will

When "Old Dobbin" gave wa to

women who followed oxen and two

the "new fang!ed flying farmers.'"

On Extensive Scale.
Farming in this section of Missouri
, is generally on an extensive scale
Some individual land holdings are as
large as 2,000 acres, due to many
farmers having taken up large tracts
v' of cheap swamp land which has nox
been drained. v
With airplanes the farmers can
. cover .thrice as much territory. Un
hindered by having to stick to roads,
they skim across their fields and drop
down where their attention is re
quired. In Sikeston, a colony of farmers
who have extensive tracts nearby, a
, farmers' aero association has been
organized. It is claimed as the first
of its kind in he world There are
.a dozen or more planes kept in
Sikeston with as many licensed
farmer pilots. Hangars-have taken
the place of stables and garages and
there is quite a rumpus when the
agriculturists drag their planesv out

-Getting the House Shingled'
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
I am now ging to disclose a dis
covery which will be priceless in the
arid regions of the countfyT I shall
not charge anything for it or patent
it, or copyright it, because" it is one
of those discoveries that is so great
that it becomes the property of the
whole world. '
I do not even expect gratitude
for whiie'some people are employing
it to their, own advantage, is will be
working to the acute disadvantage of
others. Thus opinion will be di
vided, and I shaH. be in the usual
plight of greaf discoveries, a victim
of my own benefactions.
The discovery is the ecret of caus
ing it to rain and not only that, for
rainmaking has been practised to
some extent by gun fire in thewest,
but making the wind blow, also. The
two have, so far as I know, never
been done simultaneously.
"The'way to make rain and wind at
the same time is to have your house
shingled. This I have proved not
by a single experiment, but by a
series of experiments extending
through the whole summer.
I picked out anumber of months,
all normally dry June, July and on
through October, and I never failed
once.
The instant the carpenter gof a
patch of shingles the size of a small
barn off the roof, the rains descended
and the floods came, and i the wind
howled through the shingle lath.
The time of 'day made no differ
ence. It might be 9 in the morri-
ing, and no cloud, in the sky. '
But the erection of the staging
attracted a cloud, no bigger than a
man's hand, that lay hidden some
where . under the, horizon. Up i.
