BROTHERS
GREATLY HONORED
MEDALS coMMEM-
oRATIvE OF CONQUEST
OF THE AIR.
MADE BY PRES
IDENT TAFT WITH EXPIRES
SIoNS OF ADMIRATION.

Washington, June 11.-Apprecia-
ton of good will and congratulations
of the American people were yester-
day extended to Wilbur and Orville
Wright, American aviators, by the
president of the United States. The
occasion was the presentation of the
gold medals awarded to the Wright
brothers by the Aero club of Amer
lea to commemorate the conquest of
the air. In the presence of distin-
guished statesmen, foreign diplomats,
members of the cabinet, noted scient
lists and prominent aeronauts and avi-
ators, the two inventors of the first
successful flying machine heavier
than air, received the first public re-
cognition of their achievements from
their countrymen.
President Taft, in presenting the
medals to the brothers, expressed
keen admiration for their work and
ventured the belief that their flying
machine will be the basis for future
aerial craft, and made the prophecy
that the dawn of the age of flight is
here. The Wrights were introduced
to the president by Representative
Parsons of New York, who paid
glowing tribute to their personal
qualifications. A. Holland Forbes,
winner of the recent national balloon
race and acting president of the Aero
club of America, turned the medals
over to the president on behalf of the
Aero club.
Miss Catherine Wright, sister of
the aeroplanists, accompanied her
brothers and was quite as much lion
lied. After President Taft had con
graduated the Wright brothers in
dividually, he turned to Miss Wright
and said, And | want to congratulate
the most important member of the
family!"
Preceding the presentation at the
white house. luncheon was given
the Wrights and the visiting members
of the Aero club of America by the
Aero club of Washington.
The day was one of celebration in
honor of the virgins from the time
they arrived early in the morning un-
til Z O'Clock last night, when they
! Taft for Dayton. The two brothers
/ walked together to the office of Cen
eral James Allen. chief signal Of
! ficer, to consult him about the official
trials of their aeroplane which are
to be resumed by Orville Wright.

Factionafsm has been rife and bitter

especially interested in corn grow

South Dakota, where he has been
making some experiments in breed
ing corn that will mature early and
fill the requirements for marketable
Dent corn. He mentioned inciden-
tally that Iowa investors in farm
land were not afraid of ditching
tax where the soil and climate con-
ditions are such as they are in Red
wood county. Money spent in
proper drainage would come back
in a very few seasons in better
yields. and Iowa farmers wanted
land with that kind Of conditions.
