Aerial service is nowanjstab lished feature of mail transportation and a daily passenger service is main tained between Paris and London. From the success of the great ma joritv of these flights and the achieve ment of the naval planes in crossing the Atlantic, many persons are looking forward to an early establishment of passenger service by air between points like New York and Chicago, where business men often have occasion to travel in a hurry. But it is difficult to imigine travel on a permanent commercia basis until the risk is materially re duced. So long as accidents are fairly common, business men are not t going to travel by air uiljss an emergency compels them. The modern airplane has been triads substantial, and its motor reliable. The great source of danger now is the possibility of forced landings. What roads are to motor cars, land ing6elds are to airplanes. The ob stacle to maintaining a chain of such . fields lor a cross country flight is the considerable capital required. lijhe promotion of passenger bus iness is undertaken in conjunction with the development of landing fields and other safety devices, the growth will necessarily be slow, but it will be per manent. The real danger of the fu ture of commercial flying is in too rapid development. Cities with traction disputes will likely welcome the suggestion of Sec retaries Redfield and Wilson, since in dorsed by the President, for the ap pointriient of' a new federal govern ment commission to investigate condi tions and make recommendations in local rate disputes. While the com mission, it is understood will have no authority to enforce its decisions, they may have sufficient weight to make it a useful agency. A good, soaking rain just now would bo worth a cool million dollars to Uma tillaVounty farmers, and this is in idle statement, but is based conserv- ' atively on existing crop conditions Wheat is heading and with rain at this time a well filled bead with plump grains of wheat would be the result. Should no rain cume, the heads will not fill so well and many of the grains in the mesh will not reach the normal stage of plumpness at maturitv and this difference is where the cool mil lion is involved. iFrJevertlieless these who Hiln't bol- HPheytXni will he PXtfnRlllsliefl with plat itudes and bunk are poorly endowed with deliberative apparatus.
