HIT KITES ON THE FLY.
Experiments Show AeropIanes Can
Be Destroyed BY Marksmen.

ceived at the Navy department and
just made public show it was conclu-
sively proved at the target practice of
the Atlantic fleet about ten days ago

its own against an attacking fleet of
aeroplanes.
During the target practice April 7,
the battleship Mississippi conducted
the experiment with kites as a substi-
tute for aeroplanes and demonstrated
that an enemy approaching through
the air would be shot full of holes be-
fore it could get near enough to inhict
damage.

Samples for the Fair

The farmers are requested to select
samples of wild and tame grasses and
grain, and leave them with the presi-
dent, S. l.. Potter, or secretary, O. T..
Strandness, of the Day County Agri-
cultural Fair Association.
In gathering these samples it is
desirable to have good large bundles as
the grain and grass will be used for
decorative purposes as well as for
exhibits. 1t is the intention of the
association to make an exhibit at the
state fair and then turn it over to the
exhibition car of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway. For this
reason large quantity of each sample
is desired. There is no question but
that Day county can make fine
exhibit of agricultural products this
year-the best of any county in the
state. However one or two people can
not gather the necessary samples so il
is up to every citizen to appoint him.
self committee of one to help make
this years exhibit the biggest and
best ever shown in Day county. Don't
put 1t off, get your samples now
especially those of grasses and small
grains that are ready to harvest.

Last Sunday evening Mr.. and Mrs.

house and were looking over the
machinery and visiting with the boys.
The power house force had been hav-
ng some trouble with the shaker which
works over the ash pan and knowing
that Mr.. Barber was an engineer
asked him to see if he could discover
what was wrong.
The part was supposed to revolve
when a certain lever was pressed,
but had not been working. Harry
made a couple of trials at it when over
it went-and much sooner than he
expected-catching the end of the
second finger on his right hand and
bruising it very badly.
He was rushed to doctor and an
operation was at first thought to be
the thing but Mr.. Barber objected
very strenuously and it was finally
decided to seeif it would not heal. Harry
will have very sore hand for many
days.

A Unique party

Last Friday pieces of canvass with
the following inscription were distri-
buted among the cottagers at Pickerel
lake, Come to the party, bring your
work. Find US if you can at 2:30 p.
M" At the appointed hour parties in
autos, BOATS and some on foot started
to find the hostess of the unique invi-
tation. After an hours search the
party stopped at the Haugen cottage
where they were introduced to Mrs.
John Lund and Miss Clara LeDahl,
who are house guests of Mrs. Haugen.
Two long tables were then spread with
white linen (no oilcloth) table cloths,
in the Icenter of each table was a
boquet of wild flowers and trailing
grape vines. Sixteen persons enjoyed
a very dainty lunch. Music was fur
nished for short time during the
afternoon by an orchestra which has
been organized recently, we believe the
name of the leading musician is La
France Potter. Miss Louise Denton
and Miss Clara LeDahl assisted in
serving.

Wedding Notices

1t has been well said that '.All the
world loves a lover" and there is
especial interest when the parties in
question bring their lovemaking to a
successful conclusion, and coming with
flowers, march down the aisles to the
strains of the wedding march. The
happy elimination of such an expert
ence as is referred to above gives pur-
pose to this narrative.
On Wednesday afternoon, July 10,
an expectant company gathered at the
Methodist church to witness the happy
contract. Promptly at the appointed
hour, Mr.. Grant Sidney Wheeler and
Miss Hilda Caroline Grue presented
themselves before the altar rail and
were united in marriage by Rev. M. R.
Crisp, pastor of the church. r. W..
Pitsor and Miss Vena Grue especially
assisted in the ceremony. The ring
service was used and the parties in
question, arrayed in becoming wedding
costume, presented a beautiful picture
as they knelt before the altar. We
trust the covenant between them made
will remain unbroken, while all their
many friends and neighbors join in
ardent congratulations as another
Webster couple starts out in life
together.

A Fatal Accident

John Grove, one of the earliest set
tiers of Lynn township, died at his
home Wednesday afternoon at loo
o'clock, his death resulting from injur-
les received in an accident Friday
afternoon.
Last Friday the deceased came to
Bristol after load of lumber to be
used in the new residence just being
completed at his farm. When he
arrived home with the load he
attempted to drive into shed where
the lumber would be protected from
the weather. The doorway was quite
low, and when the front wheels of the
wagon struck the door sill the load was
raised a few inches, crushing Mr..
Grove against the top of the door,
partly dislocating his neck and causing
complete paralysis of the lower limbs.
He was taken to the house and Doctor
Adams was Immediately summoned,
and upon examination it was found that
the spinal cord had been injured. Doc
tor Rockford, of Mime apolis, noted
specialist, was sent for, and he stated
that while the injured man might live
the spinal cord was so affected that he
would remain paralytic. The injured
mans condition steadily grew worse,
and at Loo o'clock Wednesday after
noon he peacefully passed away.
The deceased was one of the oldest
and most prosperous farmers in this
community, Twenty-eight years ago
he came to Day county and settled
upon homestead in Lynn township,
and there he and his wife have resided
ever since, and there his family of
seven children were born. During the
years of adversely which followed the
early settlement of this county he bore
the fortitudes of pioneer life without a
murmur, and in the years of prosperity
that followed he succeeded through his
industry and business talent in amass-
ing a neat fortune. This spring he
started the erection of thoroughly
modern farm residence equipped with
every convenience, wherein he could
pass his declining years in peace and
comfort surrounded by his family and
friends, but when the building in which
he took such pride was nearing COM
pletion he was called from his earthly
labors.
