Ogden Armour once boasted publicly that he in tended to control the world’s food supply. The other day his estate was settled in Chicago. There wasn’t enough money left to pay debts, by some $2,000,000. In Ogden Armour’s time it might have been possible for one man to send the price of food up or down as he willed. I t is impossible today, and it will be forever im possible when the food producers of the nation fully avail themselves of the opportunity to control their own markets which is open to them un der the Federal Farm Board A c t T RADIO O M E B O D Y has to pay for radio broadcasting In England the S listeners pay, by an annual tax on leceiving sets, and the Government ' controls the operation of the broad- , casting stations.

Burk's For Bargains. WRESTLING LEGION HALL C DIRIGIBLES ir p l a n e s stir man’s pride in humanity’s achievement of what A the birds have always known. Air ships like the Los Angeles or the Graf Zeppelin, stir the imagination with something like awe. They re semble nothing else on earth. They might be visitors from another planet I t it possible that the discovery that man can ride through the air suspended from a babble of gas will prove in a hundred years to be more important than the invention of the airplane. Dirigibles will get bigger and bigger, safer and safer. Already they can navigate where planes are forced down. A Zeppelin 1,200 feet long is being built at Akron. That i t larger than the largest water borne ship. The dirigibles pf the future w ill . bear the same relation to the air- pf&ne that the motorbus does to the ordinary passenger automobile, or that the ocean liner does to the speea-ooat. rem aps a comoination of the principles of the two types of^aircraft may some day displace both as we now know them.
