They Are Seeing Aeroplanes Near Albany Also. Heppner people do not need to think they have a monopoly on the airplane business when it comes to "see'in things." A news dispatch from Albany says that W. W. Craw ford, of a local automobile agency of that city, who has just returned from California, states that he has reliable information that large quantities of liquor are being shipped into Oregon by airplane. Recently on two occas ions airplanes have been sighted in that section, according to the report.

Th Federal Farm Loan Board has issued the following rules for the guidance of the land banks in deter mining what area constitutes a farm for loaning purposes: "First. Generally. The farm must be of sufficient area to yield at the hands of an ordinarily capable farm er, putting it to the use to which it is generally adapted and using average methods, an income sufficient to maintain the family of the applicant and discharge the interest and amor tization payments. "Second. Specially. Where thru intensive farming or the practice if a specialty a sufficient income has been regularly derived from a tract defi cient in area for ordinary farming, or where the application of the prospec tive borrower shows that he is by ex perience capable of producing such an income from such a tract,' such area may be accepted as sufficient provided the land has a stable and permanent market value sufficient to warrant the loan applied for. This ruling does not apply to fruit and or chard lands which have already been the subjects of definite rulings by this board." Under the first paragraph of this ruling loans may be made to the or dinary farmer on the basis of average skill and efficiency, and no tract of land will be accepted as a farm eligi ble for a loan under the Federal farm loan act unless it is large enough to support the family and take care of the loan under the average farm con ditions of the neighborhood. . But under the second paragraph of the ruling the intensive farmer or the man who practices a profitable spec ialty, or who shows himself able to do so, will be given financial support by the Federal Farm Loan System, even though his farm may be too small for ordinary farming purposes, pro vided that the land quite apart from its use has a stable and permanent land value which will make the loan safe whether it is well operated, or badly operated, or not operated at all.

However, on April 22, 1915, the Germans liberated great clouds of gas against Canadian troops near Ypres. .Terrible destruction and demoralization resulted from this first gas attack, and within a week England was making plans for gas warfare against the Germans. Soon after the first German gas at tack English and French wlmen sent to the front hundreds of thiusands of homemade gas masks. For the most part they were merely bandages im pregnated with chemicals to wrap around the mouth and nose. These emergency masks saved many lives, but afforded only limited protection. 10,000 Skilled Men Wanted for Ser vice in Aviation Section.

All of these cartridges are of the small rifle calibers, according to a statement authorized by the War Department. The three-tenths of an inch dlameer and short length if the bullet left little space for armor piercing element or for tracer and In cendiary composition but such com binations have been made. The bullets developed by the Uni ted States Ordnance Department have been tested on land and from air planes to see if there is any differ ence in their performance when fired frim a quickly moving airplane in. the upper atmosphere and when fired on land. These testa indicate that the United States has developed a class of special cartridges with a perform ance fully equal to or surpassing that attained abroad. Ing land there. Mrs. W. T.
