CONCERNING The AIRSHIP

Crossroads, Route ,, Dec. #.
Editor Telegraph
To satisfy the inquiries of many
of your readers as to the air ship,
wrecked by the storm lastspring,
will say: 1t will not be rebuilt,
but the patent will be sold some
day. That was too bad that so
much labor should be lost by a
storm, but it may have been a
blessing in disguise.
But for the storm the inventor,
Mr. Neal, Mr.. Griffin, the other
member of the firm, and also the
writer, as was planned, might
have gone up and made Il trip in
the air, and it might have turned
turtle and sent the occupants TO
the ground with such force that
some funerals would have occurr
ed before the time. The good
Book says all things work to-
gether for good" to a certain
class, We may be that class,
who knows? So we are glad it's
no worse than it is.
Now our inventor has built 4
mill, and we are using the air, not
to fly on, but to raise the water
from the bowels of the earth to
water the stock, to wash the
clothes and to quench the thirst
of man. Come out and see il
work. Then the other man that
didn't get killed flying went to
Hope and bought the biggest
garage in town and is now hous-
ing the cars for the people when
they are not on the road and re.
pairing them when needed; so
now instead of flying in the air
they will fly over the dirt roads
with a speed nearly equal to that
of the air ship, in a car driven by
a gas engine, and get there on
time and with less risk.
Our Mr.. Neal will be at the
helm in the repair shop and no
doubt will soon be turning out
the new Meal" auto, invented at
Hope 1917.
Hold your breath until you see
what's going to happen next.
Yours truly,
w. p. R.

1t seems to be the fashion TO
abuse the governor for his free
use of the pardoning power by
people who say he has not in
vestigated." How do they know
he has not investigated ? OF
course the governor makes mis-
takes, and people who sign peti-
tions for pardons sometimes
make worse mistakes than does
the governor, for the very good
reason that they live in the
community where the crime has
been committed and know or
ought to know when they sign a
petition that it is a case in which
the pardoning power shoul be
exercised. If the governor should
ignore their petitions then there
would be such a cry go up as was
never heard before.
