Editor George o. Woodruff, of the Litchfield Inquirer, is off on a junket, and Lawyer James P. Woodruff, the edi tors brother, is at the hellum. Modestly alluding to Brother Georges compliment tary parting announcementA Brother James, the lawyer, says "Our natural modesty is such, we are loath to admit the truth of the editors statement, that this paper is usually better, when edited by 'us,' than by him, but such seems to be the universal verdict and he admits it, so we bow as gracefully as possible and accept the bouquet" Modesty like that is perfectly legal. However, while the sub-editor may be able to deliver the goods, he will be doing well enough if he gives the Inquirer readers something just as good as Brother George dishes out.

MANY SAW B|RDMAN
Excellent Flights Made at
Ashland County Fair
Yesterday.

A large number of people from this
city went over to Ashland yesterday
afternoon to see the birdman soar up
among the clouds and they were not
disappointed for the aviator made
three successful fights during the
afternoon, remaining in the air for a
period of from fifteen to twenty
minutes on each of the fights. The
day was perfect one for flying, there
being very little breeze to hinder the
aviator. The start on each of the
trips was made from the race course.
The machine was started up and. run
along the ground for two or three
hundred feet when the aviator would
tilt the planes which would send him
sailing up over the heads of the inn
mense crowds. He would then
circle back and forth across the track,
making trips over the surrounding
country and down over the city of
Ashland. Flights will again be made
today and it was announced yesterday
that there would be a race between
an automobile and flying machine pre-
viding the weather was favorable,
Fully five thousand people were
present at the fair grounds to see the
man fly.
Many of those who had never seen
a flying machine before were much
surprised at the simple construction of
the machine. 1t consists of the two
planes, a rudder behind and elevating
apparatus in front. The planes are
worked by wires. The engine that
propels the machine is of the eight
cycle type and was said to have been
forty H. P.
