ART SMITH At FAIR
Boy Aviator Who Eiectrifies Chicago
With His Antics IL Coming

to Hamline.
Art Smith, the boy aviator who re-
Gently electrified all Chicago by his
daring maneuvers in the air, has been
engaged for the entire week Of the
Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 6 to H.,
where he will give daily and nightly
performances.
Smith is known by air men as the
boy Who is Better than Beachey."
Such phenomenal control of his BIZ
plane is shown that he is able to loop
the loop as many as thirty times in
rapid succession. At Chicago he
climbed 80 high that he disappeared
from view. Falling like a plummet,
his machine turned over and over "a
times like whirling top. He then
reversed his engine, looping the loop
backward ten times in few NOM
ents. He is the only aviator who has
ever dared to loop the loop within
1000 feet of the ground. At Chicago
he performed this hazardous feat
within 300 feet of the earth.
His nightly performances will prove
one Of the big features of the Fair. AS
cending at night, Smith loops the loop
in the dark, being seen from the
ground by flashes from many colored
lights that swoop and dive and whirl
as the machine swoops and dives and
Whirls in the darkness.

Ben Benson to Put Up New Building
In Near Future.
There seems to be a continuation,
this spring, of the building boom eli.
joyed by this city last summer, and
the latest to decide that his present
quarters are inadequate, is Ben Ben
son. Accordingly he has had plans
drawn for a fine new building, and as
soon as the contract is let, work will
be started. The plans call for two
story brick structure, on the site of
the present one, fronting on Benson
Ave., rs feet, with a depth Of 60 feet.
The first floor will be devoted to the
plumbing shop, with a large display
room in front, and the work room &C.
cupying the rear half OF the building.
The second floor will be made into a
strictly modern fiat of six rooms, with
toilet, and fine porch running across
the rear of the building. A portion OF
the basement will be used as laun.
dry for the tenant Of the fiat. A one
story garage, Is by Is feet will he
built at the rear Of the building, with
accommodations for three cars.
When completed, the building will
be dandy and will add a great deal
to the appearance Of Benson Ave.

Senior Glass Of Local High School to
Present Play This Week.
The senior class Of the local high
school will present their play Friday
evening Of this week, at the opera
house. The members Of the cast have
been practicing faithfully for the past
few weeks under the direction of Miss
Fern Doremus, and the play promises
to be exceptionally good. The price
Of admission this year is very rea-
sonable and the opera house should
be packed to the limit.
The play opens with Peter Dunn,
president Of large insurance COM
pany, having insured the statue Of
Niobe In his company. For safe keep
ing he brings the statue to his house.
One evening while the members Of the
family are at theatre the statue
comes to life, and Niobe finds herself
a member of q modern American
household. Upon the return Of the
other members Of the family, Dunn
explains her presence by saying she
is the new governess engaged to
teach the children. The next day,
however, the real governess puts in
an appearance. She has taken the
place for the purpose of finding Cor
nelius Griffin, Dunn's brother-in-law.
Griffin had broken his engagement to
her sister, and was now engaged to
Beatrice Sillocks, daughter Of q
wealthy merchant. In the last act
more complications arise, as to the
identity Of Niobe. The members Ut
the family believe that she is the
missing sister of Mr.. Dunn, whom
they have not seen for many years.
This however, is disproven, and fin
ally the owner of the STATUE arrives,
and tho truth comes out.
The setting for acts / and is the

residence. The cast of characters

On March 10, 1915, there were 1875

On the same date there were 1882

increase in the use of pure-bred sires
says Mr.. Montgomery, is largely due
to the efficiency of the Minnesota

As result Minnesota has made

Frame Building Burns to Ground Last
Wednesday Afternoon.
The large frame barn on the old
Hans Johnson farm, about three miles
southwest Of this city was destroyed
by fire last Wednesday afternoon.
Harry Hale, the owner Of the place is
at loss to account for the fire as the
barn was used very little. Fire was
discovered in the loft at about two
o'clock, while the men were in the
granary. The blaze had q good start
and there was no way Of saving the
building. One horse and some farm
machinery were saved, but seven hun
dred bushels of cob corn, stored in
the building; were a total loss. No
one was known to have been in the
barn for ten days before the fire.
The total loss is about $1,000 and is
partially covered by insurance in the
