fam North Dakota has ever had.
A feature of the fair this year has
been the emergency hospital Of the
national guard, and a number of un-
fortunate visitors have been mighty
thankful that the red cross depart

cident cases have been taken care of
at the hospital, where nurses and
physicians have been in constant at

Jimmie Ward announced to news
paper men this morning that he ex-

will compete with foreign ayiators for
worlds honors. Jimmie is the holder

city. In telling the newspaper boys
goodbye this afternoon Jimmie said:
II have certainly enjoyed my stay
in your city and hope that you have
enjoyed my work 1t has been great
pleasure to fly here for you. / found
many pockets in the air in this Sec
tion of the country and my flying was
not as easy as 1t may have looked
to you on the ground. 1t is not sur
prising to me that aviators who have
| flown here In the past had trouble
In getting on your grounds as the
winds from the praries are very stub
born. 1t is only known to the avia-
tors what winds really are. To the
public the wind is deceiving and when
| 1t looks calm on the ground 1t may
be very treacherous above"
In Crookston, Jimmie Wards old
home town, an effort is today being
made by the Elks, through Mr.. Funk,
the secretary, to have Jimmie fly there
tomorrow. Jimmie says 1t will be a
pleasure for him to fly among his old
| schoolmates and he hopes that the
show will be arranged for. Railroad
connections are the only thing that
is holding the proposition back, as
| Jimmie does not want to be delayed
| In filing his engagement at Regina
by going to Crookston.
