R e tu rn in g from th e border, he en tered th e flying school a t C ornell. F rom th e re he w ent to Love field, Texas, w here he receiv ­ed his com m ission. He w as born in N iag a ra F a lls and w as the first n a tive son of th a t c ity to be k illed in the w ar.

enforcem ent, it w as said, is to avoid a w aste of supplies now on hand.

It has been s ta ted th a t app le p ickers have been paid as h igh as $9 per day, and th a t peach pickers have been paid p ropor­tiona te ly . T here is a lin g e rin g sus­picion th a t these topm ost p rices for f ru it h a rv es te rs in re a lity have re fe r­ence to sk illed f ru it packers in stead of p ickers. I t is conceivable th a t a la rg e app le or peach g row er w ould be obliged to pay long prices for th e ser-

ices of com peten t.packers and so rte rs in o rder to m eet p resen t m a rk e t de*- m ands in th e m a tte r of g rad in g ; b u t i t is probable th a t few pickers have been able to ea rn $9, betw een sun and sun, in sim ply tra n s fe r r in g th e f ru it from th e b ranches to th e ground.
