Aerial Warfare At State Fair.
BOMBS DROPPED FROM AEROPLANE
UPON FORT, WHILE NORWICH CA
DIETS ATTACK CITADEL FROM LAND.

War, with all its horrors, has been
on the front page of the newspa-
pers for months. While one may
conceive of the ravages taking place
across the ocean, little does one
know of the actual destruction
wrought by the bomb, the machine
Hgun, the fort artillery or by the
\2idly moving cavalry.
pc sensational feature to be pre-
led at the Vermont State Fair at
mite River Junction, Sept. Ia, IS,
16 and II, will depict the aerial fea-
ture of modern warfare. Capt.
Chauncey Redding, one of America s
leading aviators, and the only man
in Massachusetts having license to
drive an aeroplane, will attack a
fort located on the oval of the fair
grounds by dropping bombs from a
hign altitude. The fort has its
compliment of soldiers and is fully
manned. With the attack of the
fort by Capt. Redding, a company
of soldiers cadets of Norwich Uni

versity) attack the fort in true land
military style. The result is the
blowing up of the fort by the bombs
dropped from the plane and the
capture of the soldier occupants.
Capt. Redding is an accomplished
aviator. He has been doing many
thrilling feats in and around Boston
the past few weeks. One day re-
Gently he flew from Saugus with a
parachute jumper and after sailing
around the Common the parachutist
dropped from the plane and landed
in Joy street. Redding will make
flights, showing what can be accom-
plished in the air He will do the
stunts that all the daring aviators
have done and will conclude his
twice daily fights by dropping
bombs upon the fort. The fort has
been named Gov. Gates.
With this feature, which is not
only sensational but of most dar-
ing nature, thrills sufficient to salts
fly the most eXacting are assured.
Everything is moving along nicely
with the State Fair commission in
the preparation for the fair which
comes next month. The new public
service building is we'll underway
and will be completed several days
before the fair opens.

There is no parallel between the
miserable brutes who lynched Leo
Frank, and the one who so brutally
murdered Mary Phagan. Both
murdered for different degree of
lust, both defied the law, and the
act of both was of most cowardly
and degrading nature. Such brutes
cared not whether Leo Frank were
innocent or guilty. All the courts
in Christendom might have pro-
nounced him innocent, and with
proof to substantiate it, and it
would have made no difference.
They were after the Jew. 1t mat
tered not regarding the many doubts
as to Franks guilt, they wanted the
Jew, as an offset to the girls death,
and they got him. And the manner
of getting him is a disgrace upon
the state of Georgia, disgrace up
on prison discipline, disgrace upon
the courts, and disgrace upon law
and order. Not all in Georgia up
holds this dastardly act by any
means; but a state so lax in prison
protection should be under the ban
of the whole country until every
man engaged in the lynching of Leo
Frank is apprehended and punished
to the full extent of the law.

Talk about advertising Vermont!
Put into hotels the thousands of
dollars wasted each year in books
and pamphlets to boom the state
and Vermont would boom itself.
What is warted is hotels. And Ver-
mont with all its scenic beauty and
attractive features will never be a
success as summer resort until
there are a sufficient number of the
right kind of hotels to induce the
people to come.

When the House Takes Fire.

Used early, a glass Of water has
more value than a fire brigade. If
the amount of water at hand is limited
1t should be thrown by handfuls rath-
er than in single dash. A bucket
of water and a broom to sprinkle -
constitute good eXtinguisheG for 4

the blazG-much less at the smoke

Again the green peeps from each
budding rootlet and twig and covers
the hills and trees with its delicate
mantle, Again the iceflow has van

dimple and radiate In shining wave

on the sandy beaches. The arrow
root and the white asarum begin
their upward journey toward the
surface of the water and as they
gently sway in the moving currents,
they color it a greenish hue.
The everwelcome springtime is at
hand with it's myriad transforma-
tions and it's subtle beauty. The
birds have arrived and sing inces-

der the lake and flutter about in
rapturous ecstasy among the will

Soon the indolent, drowsy summer

and a bluer sky of sleeping waters

and its wonderful setting amid the

Upon the modntain's rugged crest

The people have forsaken the true
God, and corrupted themselves with
false gods. Material prosperity has
made them luxurious and self-indul-
gent. Learning and culture have
led to pride and contemptuousness.
Violence, oppression, avarice, i'm
morality and drunkenness fill the
lands.
But there are riffs in the black
clouds, and now and again the sun
shines through. At one time the
clouds open, and we see the Child
that is born and whose name is
called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty
God, Everlasting Father, Prince of
Peace. Again the clouds open. and
we see the suffering Servant bear
ing our griefs and earring our sor-
rows. Once more they open, and
we see mighty Avenger returning
from Edom, glorious in his apparel
and swaying in the greatness of his
strength. His garments are red
with the bloou of Jehovah's enemies.
Finally, the clouds roll away, and
we are enraptured by the sight of
new heavens and a new earth.

the unscreened bars drinking while
their little children walt for them
outside the saloon. 'Whiskey and
soda" is the all too popular drink of
polite society. Government officials,
missionary societies and relief COM
mites are making urgent appeals
for temperance since this war began.
Then the English government has
been consistently harsh toward the
weak. Witness her former perse-
cution of the Pilgrims and her I'M
just treatment of Nonconformist
Christians to this day. Her rule

and exacting whatever she had the

only the latest protest against the

her prison walls echoed to the signs
