This step has been decided by the management of the Chesterfield County Fair Assocition. The grounds will shortly be enclosed by a new fence which will take in something over 20 acres, thus doubling the size of the former area. A race course will at some future time be constructed and the paddock or space inside the track, will be an ideal location for a landing field. It is not likely that the race track will be built for the next fair, but the landing field will be in readiness during the early summer. Plans and specifications have been received from the Curtis Aeroplane Corporation, of Garden City, Long Island, and these specifications will be followed in arranging and marking the field. A heavy concrete roller ia being constructed for the purpose of leveling and solidifying the ground. Not only will this landing field be of value to Chesterfield during fair time for exhibition flying, but promises to put this town on the map when commercial air routes are laid out through this section of the country, which now is only a matter of a short time. Air routes are laid out 1 so as to keep within as easy distance as possible of landing fields. A good ' landing field in Chesterfield will ' therefore tend to place the air route !-. 'i- * - uuckvi; uvei ine town, a Tilling station carrying supplies of high grade ( gasoline and lubricating oils will ' cause many' planes to land here that would otherwise continue on to a ' field so equipped. A chain of landing fields constitutes an air road. In other words, 1 * 1 where automobiles and locomotives require roads and stations, the air- ' plane asks for stations only. The ' roadbed, better than can be made of 1 steel and asphalt, is free. The air- ' plane has developed much faster than 1 the landing fields and supply sta- ' tions have heen built. In fact the 1 planes are ready for business and are ' doing business where landing facili- 1 ties are adequate, Hundreds of cities already have * landing fields and are profiting in ( several ways from the air traffic that they attract. Probably the greatest benefit that Chesterfield will at first derive from its field will be in the j nature of publicity and advertising, j The name of the town will be placed on lists and maps alongside those of ( the nation's largest cities and will be 1 given equal importance in classifies- i tion. Ntion-wide attention is attracted to the town or city which pan ad. vertise itself as open tq all types of air traffic, i It is, therefore, easy to see that the new landing field will be of inestimable benefit to the community in obtaing the early advantages of this fast growing and already important method of transportation.

ADAMS CASH MARKET COURT POSTPnNFH Court of Common Pleas, called for last Monday, was adjourned to next term. All cases on the docket will, therefore, come up for trial at the July term.
