reckless daring displayed by the bird

that, with the right make of rifle, a
marksman can shoot while flying at

curacy as when the ground.
Army officers have been anything but
satisfied with the results obtained with

When Beachy came upon the field, a
violent wind was blowing. Undeterred,
he mounted his seat and was soon
soaring high above. More than once
it seemed to the spectators that his frail
craft must surely turn turtle and come
crashing to the earth, but every time
thetreacherouswind threatened clever
manipulation by the aviator held the
machine straight and true. Afterhaving
been in the air a number Of minutes,
Beachy pointed his craft in the direction
of the grandstand, encircled it twice
and, as gracefully as bird alights,
brought it safely to the ground.
To every one present It seemed GER

the wind, that no more flights would

be attempted that afternoon; but to the
amazement of all, Beachy, as soon as
he landed, hailed Lieut., FicEei, who
was standing nearby. armed with e
Remington-UMC rifle, and invited him
to take a seat alongside.
This Lieut.. Fickel did, and aviator
and passenger were soon on their.way

extra supports invariably carried with
passengers for balance.
Time and again the big planes could
be seen to tremble as If they were about
to snap when contrary gusts of wind
caught them; and to those below the
fitting and the swaying of the mono-
plane were fore-runners of certain de-
struction to the aviator and his pas
senger.
Whe n the machine reached the
farther end of the field It suddenly
turned, and came flying back at light

a fitting climax to meet that was re-
plete with sensational features.
In. an interview after the demonstra-
ton, Lieut.. Fickel said that he found
the speed and accuracy Of the Auto
loader a distinct advantage over the
service rifles he had previously used in
similar tests, and that he considered it
the only practical gun for use under
Such conditions.

Democrats in Washington are wor ;
dering if the Republicans of West Viz
ginia are going to be deceived by recent
events into the belief that there has
been reorganization of their State
committee and that the State machine
will have any less voice than hereto
fore in the nomination, of candidates
on the Republican ticket in West Vir-
ginia, It is true that several of the
members Of the State committee re-
signed those who were holding Feder-:
al and State offices but each one
nSmed his own successor and IN doing
so left committee which was as sub
sertient to the old State machine as
was the committee before the resigna-
tions were rendered. Long ago, when
the talk Of designations from the State
committee was first INDUCED in. it was
predicted in this correspo ndence that
the machine would not loosen it's grip
on the State committee. HOWELL the
prediction has been verified may be
seen from . glance 1t the makeup Of
the new COMMITTEES,
That the changes IN the committee
and the adoption Of the rules for hold
ing the primary election merely tighten
the hold Of the machine on the party
seems apparent. BY seeing that sey-

Attention, Farmers

The first agricultural meeting of
Linn county will be held at the
Brookfeld high school Saturday,
Feb. 4. It is urgently desired
that there be a full attendance of
of the farmers of the county to
discuss the problems and needs
confronting the average farmer.
This meeting has been brought
about by the desire of the agri-
cultural department of the Brook
field high school and county repre-
sentatives to see permanent farm
ers' organization perfected in Linn
county for the express purpose of
developing and enlarging the great
farming possibilities of our home
county. In SO doing we are fol-
lowing in the footsteps of a great
number of counties and states that
are making a thorough study and
application Of scientific farming.

y W, CT. Social

On Friday evening of last week
the Laclede W. G. T. U. gave q
social to it's friends at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. George W. Estes.
Between 60 and 70 persons were
present and a most enjoyable time
was had by all. A delicious two
course luncheon was served. Games
made the evening pass pleasantly,
but the most interesting feature
was the roll call. In answer to
this the members of the union
formed a standing circle and
described the way in which they
had earned their dollar. 1t was
evident from the reports that the
Laclede misunderstanding advan-
tage of the wives desire to earn
a dollar-had escaped from the
building of fires during the recent
cold snap. Mrs. Poison received
the prize-a rose bowl-for having
displayed the greatest originality
and self sacrifice in the earning of
her dollar. 1t may be interesting
to friends of the union to learn
that the ladies have raised $500
since the first of last November.
This recent endeavor clears up the
campaign debt. However, the
union still owes a $40 pledge to the
state work.

by the man who was always swear
ing before marriage that he would
eat her up before the year was up,
it is safe to say that ninety-seven
other women 60 moping around
the house with lips parching from
neglect, burning biscuit and run
ming down shoes in sheer despair,
for the want of that encourage
ment an occasional kiss would pro-
badly give. This is not as it
should be for a kiss after marriage
is relished equally with those be-
fore and if you want to see your
wife tripping about with melody
in her soul and feet like a cork
just imprint on her lips an occa-
sional Lovers" Kiss.
All that most married woman
need to make their beings of light
and jewels of gladness is more kiss
es from the old man and less
growing about how the potatoes
are fried. No woman can be an
angel without sip of nectar now
and then, and the husband who
fails to grant supply of ambrosia
to the sprites in muslin, who make
paradise on earth possibility, de-
serves to be ''henpecked" all his
days.
No matter how refined a woman
is, if she marries a coarse, immoral
man, she will be likely to have a
coarse, immoral man for her hus-
band. In ninety-nine cases out of
one hundred, a vulgar horse jockey
will remain a vulgar horse jockey
still, in spite of the possession of
a refined, intelligent wife. With
that possession his reverent admir-
alton for her superiority has de-
parted. She is now simply the
woman who has joined her lot with
his, and must take him and his
circumstances for what they are.
He will have no patience with fine
ladyism, or her distaste for coarse
thoughts and actions. She must
come down to his level and stay
there. She must bear his children,
and cook, wash, iron and mend in
the homely house that is all he is
able to provide for her, just the
same as if she had never been his
social superior. Should she rebel
and leave him, her future is blast
ed, and though she may be strong
enough to rise out of her misery,
she can never efface the results of
her folly. But the probabilities are
that she will drag out her dreary
days in surroundings utterly re-
pugnant to every fibre of her ma
ture, because she will not be allow
ed to take her children-which are
his also-and she cannot leave
them behind her. The romance of
this kind of clandestine marriage
is very soon dispelled, and only
hard. bitter facts remain.
