Mr. A. P. Coates of Elevation towns!. ), was in the city yester day and gave the Herald office a call. Mr. Coates, who lives on the farm cf Mr. Shade Lassiter, made this year on six acres, 9,034 ] pounds cf seed cotton. Boll wee vil, for some reason, seems to have passed up this cotton pad.i changing their whole scheme of life. That is whait civilization means, the multiplication of human wan li ar;! tbs discovery cf means of satisfying them. Russia is starting cn the road to civilization. Aviation. One hundred and sixty-nine ! passengers flew in a single air plane ever Lake Constance. Ger jmany, forbidden by the Treaty jef Versailles to build military aircraft, has outstripped the whole world in both commercial planes ar.i dirigibles. Armstrong, American engineer, is actually going ahead with his anchored floating islands in the Atlantic to provide landing stages for ocean flyers. Look for regular air lines be tween Europe and America in an other five or perhaps ten years. And lock for the largest and fast est of them to bear the flag o! i (the German republic. ; I Perhaps, now that the StoJ; ; Market debacle is over, the big capitalists of the United State; will invest more of their fund: in the development cif comjmercia aircraft to compete with the Ger mars. So far, practically all of cu i m p c rt.inig f 1 y ing development have .been paid for by the govern 111 mer.it. Aviation will not becom a ibuisinies®, and cairgo and passer ger carrying by air will neve be efficiently done, until privat capital is invested in it as it : in the railroads.
