aeroplane exhibitions under the manage

first public flight in this country at
the Brighton Beach race track this even

atmospheric conditions and entertained
some 1000 enthusiastic spectators. Far

In about thirty seconds and did not appear
to be hurrying. In rising, flying and
~alighting the air craft displayed a grace
that would have delighted the soul of
Darius Green.
The crowd bore down upon the inventor
with a rush that threatened damage to
the aeroplane. Then Farman' climbed up
into the announcer's stand and was for
mally introduced as the man who had
solved the transportation problem of New
York. This also pleased the underground

the residence of Mrs. b. v. Bolton, 1906 Sec
ond avenue. went to sleep on the tracks
of the street railway on Avenue A, between
.Thirty-fifthh and Thirty-sixth streets, and
had a miraculous escape from having his
head ground to pieces by the owl car on its
return trip from Omaha at 2 o'clock Sun
day morning. Palmer's head was on the
south rail while his body lay stretched In
the weeds at the side OF the roadbed Mo-
torman Boswell, fortunately, was not rum
ming his car at a high rate of speed, other
wise nothing could have prevented Palmer
being killed. AS It was, the motorman,
when he noticed the mans head on the
rail. had just time to apply the emergency
brake, but not in time to avoid the front
wheel striking the head OF the sleeping
man. When Motorman Boswell brought his
car TO a stop and jumped down he felt
Eure that the man had been killed, but
much to his surprise Palmer was found
TO be only suffering from three cuts on the
scalp.
Palmer was conveyed to his home nearby,
where a physician who had been ummoned
stitched up the cuts. Fifteen minutes after
the accident Palmer was smoking a cigar
cite, and when an officer OF the street
railway company called to see him Palmer
was blissfully ignorant OF how he hap
pened to have been hurt. His injuries were
stated yesterday not to be OF a serious
character. Motorman Boswell declared
yesterday that Palmer's escape from death
was almost a miracle. when 1 Jumped

We Have Planted Tomatoes On
1900 More Acres
his year we've added 1900 acres to our tomato patch. Just to raise the
omatoes for making the sauce that goes on Van Camps Beans.

The demand for Van Camps Beans is growing by
leaps and bounds. 1t is now larger, by several times
over, than for any other brand in the world.
Yet It is only beginning. There are millions of house
wives still baking their own beans. They will all let us
bake for them when they know Van Camps.
And thousands are still buying other b~rands-simply
because they don't know. Some time they will get a can
of Van Camps. Then They'll be our customers, too.
So we have planted 1900 more acres to tomatoes, to
supply your demands next year.

that superlative zest in the sauce that's baked into our

Some sauce is made from tomatoes picked green and
ripened in shipment. Some is made of scraps from a
canning factory. Such sauce is not rich; it lacks flavor.
But such sauce costs only oneffth what we spend to

reason why other beans cannot compare with Van
Camps. -
Another reason lies in the beans themselves.
We buy only the choicest Michigan beans, grown on q
soil rich in nitrogen. They are picked over by hand, so
we get only the whitest, the plumpest, the fullestgrown.
We often pay for such beans seven or eight times what
other beans can be bought for. But you can see the re-
suit if you compare other beans with Van Camps.
Our beans are baked in live steam, heated to 245 de-
grees. We bake in small parcels, so that the full heat
goes through.
The result is, the particles are separated, by the fierce
heat, so that the digestive juices can get to them.
That is not so with home-baked beans. Not half SO
much heat gets to the center of your baking dish. The
result is, your beans don't digest. They ferment and
form gas.
Then we bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork
all together and get a delicious blend.
In these ways we prepare, after At years of expert
ence, the finest beans ever baked. The millions of peo-
pie who know these beans never will use any other.

that though there are applications for many
special days, It will be possible to have one

II is hoped to have special trains from
the towns where the agricultural colleges
are located in Kansas. Iowa, Nebraska.
Colorado, South Dakota, Missouri, Illinois
and Indiana. Already the authorities at
the Iowa college at Ames are certain OF a
large attendance from that school. The
students viii come at such time that they
will all arrive in the city during the early
morning of the day set aside for them, They
plan to have a street parade, headed BY the
bands which will furnish the music for the
exposition, and all carrying the usual col

parade will resembl a worlds congress Of

dated. North Carolina, which expected to

Charles P. McNally. Democratic can
didate for County Treasurer, son of
the late M. L. Mentally, was born in
Lime Springs twenty five years ago
and with the exception of very short
period has resided in Howard county
all of that time,
He attended the public schools at
Lime Springs and afterwards took a
complete business course at Valder's
Business College in Decorah.
For the past five years he has been
in the employ of the C. M. & st. Paul
railway and by his untiring industry
and ability has won the confidence and
respect of the officers of that road, and
his unfailing politeness and readiness
to oblige the patrons of the company
has gained for him their esteem and
good will.
1t was only after reiterated solicita-
tions on the part of his friends both
Democrats and Republicans that he
consented to become candidate for
the Office of County. Treasurer.
There can be no doubt as to his COM
potency to fill the position to the en-
tire satisfaction Of the citizens of How
ard county.
Rotation in Office is certainly for the
benefit, of the county and if there be
one particular county Office in which
this should be enforced it is that of
County Treasurer The present incum-
bent no doubt has given satisfaction,
but he has now held this Office for two
terms extending over period of FIVE
yoars and that we think is quite long
enough to hold the position of county
treasurer
