Tbe last three months before the war closed be was a dispatch rider, using motorcycles ot high power, and having right of way over other traf fic up to the front line trenches. He believes that aviation Is the coming means ot transportation and travel, and believes that this mam moth industry has Just started to de velop. As one ot the souvenirs of his part In the war, Hyde has a Swiss clock, which Is not too big to carry aa a watch, which he salvaged from a French plane which barf been shot to earth near the front and which he, with other men, bad been ordered to destroy to prevent Its capture by the Huns. w. a. .

Exohanee in an interview with a Gazette-Times reporter this week. "While the spring wheat will not make as heavy a yield this year as last, the fall grain will be much hear- jer. Last year the fields making a yield of 6 bushels and less per acre were numerous, but this year the lighter fields will be making ten and better." Mr. Brown says he has view ed some wonderful grain the last few Sdavs Some of this grain was just In j the boot about two weeks ago but with such favorable weather condi tions it is now tilling nicely. A field of bluestem wheat on the J. R. Jack son ranch will make between 25 and 30 bushels. Mr. Jackson aslo has an excellent field of barley. Turkey red in the north end ot the county is look ing mightygood and there will be lots of grain out that way. Reports com ing in from the lone country would contradict any reports heretofore giv en out that crops were going to tall down that way. H. A. Cummins ot the Bank of lone says that wheat has made a wonderful development dur ing the past two weeks and the cool weather with favorable growing con ditions has meatft thousands of dol lars to the farmers there. The light showers which visited some sections over the country last week have gone a long way towards insuring the crop, Gazette-Times. Haying has commenced on the riv er and in the lower creek valleys of Wheeler county. Wages started oft at three dollars, and while there is no oversupply of men, the crops are being taken care of with little incon venience on account of shortage of men. Alfalfa and other Irrigated crops are unusually good this year, but the dry land hay crops are light. The weather continues cool to cold with some frost. Light showers last week relieved the threatening drouth conditions, but the country needs a good old soaking raln.- Fosil Jour nal. A fine rain fell here last Friday and while notias much as was hoped for, it did much good as the fall grain is Just filling in most fields. The fall sown grain will not make the crop expected as the freezes a few weeks aso greatly Injured It. Some fields will only make hay. Hot weather prevails here at present. Maupln Times. i
