Evervbody in the commonwealth is interested in this
year's meeting at Salem. A Portland paper has asked that

should not oulv pray but should fight for its own interests.
Nothing comes to any public institution m a demociacy
these days, even though the pork-barrel legislation era has
passed, without striving for it. The Umerald will endeavor
to show editorially from time to time the relations ol the

No man’s land and Flanders j
Fields form a striking background
for “ Wings,,f the great epic of avia
tion now at the McDonald theater.
All the lateilt Movietone effects
have been combined to create a most ■
realistic and convincing atmosphere
of war which adds greatly to the
exciting action of the pictures.
“Buddy” Rogers and Richard
Arleu, as two young aces, take the i
audience for a thrilling dash through
the clouds, over grain fields and
church spires, • cemeteries and for-I
ests to end only too soon in the
usual romance of youth. < lnra Bow
has momentarily stepped out of the
Kleanor (ilyn roles to take the part
of a valient young ambulance driver
“over there” and even succeeds in
moving the audience to tears on
more Ilian one occasion. Although
the charm of “Wings” is due prin
cipally to its abundance of action
and realism, it makes a strong emo- .
tional appeal which is hard to re
sist.

A majority of the beacon
lights used in airport and
airway illumination have
been designed and manu
factured by the General
Electric Company, whose
specialists have the benefit
of a generation's experi

lighting problems.
THE air map of America is now in the making on the
ground.
Ten years ago, there were 218 miles of air mail routes with
two station stops; to-day, a network of sky roads budges the
country from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to
the Gulf of Mexico.
Can you imagine this growth without electricity- without
illuminated airports—without trunk lines stuadecl with elec
tric beacons?
Men of vision are building for increasing traffic of the air.
Soon, the skies will be filled with commerce.
Tust as electricity is helping to conquer the air, the land, and
the sea to-day, so to-morrow it will lead to greater accom
plishments in aviation and in every human activity.

Great states from wheat seeds
IT was unprofitable wilderness, most
men thought. But James J. Hill had
faith that it could grow wheat and so he
built his railroad. Settlers turned the
waste-land into wheat-land, the wheat
into wealth, the wealth into great west
ern states.'
Faith in the economic future still points
the way. Right now men in the Bell
System are planting trie seeds or vast pos
sibilities for even better communication.
Out of the belief that the public needs
a broader use of the telephone is grow
ing a constantly improved long distance
telephone service. Like the railroads of
an earlier day, this service is now tapping
and helping to develop rich new terri
tories of commerce.
