Oranges Visited supervisors and
Asked to Be Assured OF
Their interests.

At their meeting at Fort Madison
yesterday, gays the Democrat, the
county board of supervisors were
waited on by delegation of repre-
sentatives from the oranges OF the
county, including A. G. Langwith, E
B. Crane. Oscar Brayton, Fred Au
waerter, Dave Wareheim and Jacob
Rohdy.
The grangers who formed the visit
ing delegation this time were much
less hostile md exacting than those
who approached the supervisors be
fore. The visitors today asked that
they be assured that the county's END
of the tax appeal was being looked
after and they left with that assur
ance from both the supervisors and
County Attorney McManus, who was
present at the meeting.
Attention of the oranges was called
to the fact that the case had lately
been transferred from the district tC
the federal court at Keokuk and tina,
at the time Of such transfer the ap
pearance of County Attorney Nc
Manus, to represent the county's in
terests, was entered.
The grangcrs desire that the power
company be compelled to, pay taxes
on an IS, 900. 0oe valuation, provided
that valuation is legal and just, The,
do not believed that the valuation O
$500, 600, as placed by the Keokul
council, should stand.

she has to watch one of the indicators
on the lever in front of her. But don't
watch a star and then swear it is Miss
Law, as lots of folks have done. She
says people insist they have been
watching her, when she has been in
a different direction entirely and ii
has been one of the fixed stars they
have been looking at all the time.
The Messenger tract from which
the flights will be made is a splen
did aviation field, Miss Law thinks
While she goes up from considerable
distance out from the city, it will be
possible to see her from any point in
town She will fly over the celebra
ton crowds twice each day. Her aft
ernoon flight will be at to 5: sc
o'clock and at night at 10000 or 1870
o'clock.

was ripe that I should do the loop
and so L went ahead and did it. Yes

success. If it hadn't been, suppose

dence shaken. But l didn't. 1t was
so successful and so easy to do, that

Miss Law explained that the LOOP
was something of pack flop. To get
the momentum to carry her over, how
ever, she has to drive her plane
through the air at something like the
speed Of 100 miles an hour. Some
times she gets stalled on the upper
curve Of the Hoop, but the machine
soon rights itself. In looping there
is often a tremendous drop to the ma
chine Sometimes it is as much as
500 feet. That is why it is never safe
to start looping the loop unless the
flyer is 1000 feet in the air. Miss
Law makes her loops at least
thousand feet In the air. n
"Do you like the flying game
Miss Law was asked.
"Well I should say l do" was her
enthusiastic reply, and one OF hei
happy smiles lighted her face. dc

You must keep your head and use

controls, on which she learned, to
her Curtiss machine.
The Wright controls, it may be ex-
planned, consist of two levers. One

backward and forward and to each
side. This controls the tipping Of the
machine. The machine which Miss
Law uses is Curtiss machine. 1t is
a bi-plane 1t is fitted with Curtiss
engine which develops 100 horsepower
and makes about 1,400 revolutions per
minute The wings are of linen and
are coated with a special preparation.
The wings are stayed by double wires
as a measure of precautfon.
Miss Law explained that there is
practically none Of the elevator feel

ach sensation comes when you go
down. Few people like the first trip

though some of them think they do.
Tear Through Atmosphere.
"You don't just float through the
air." Miss Law said. THAT was what
fooled me. supposed you just fioated
up, but you don't; you tear through
the air like you are shot out of gun.
Coming down, though, you have that
feeling that you get when you are
dropping in an elevator"
Night flights are dangerous, Miss
Law admits. You just have to depend
on instinct entirely, she said regard

and run for miles, looking for a place

way. You have to pick them out
when you're up in the air That's the
only way"
Keep Cool, Her Motto.
Miss Law talks about trouble and
the possibility of bad fall just as
calmly as an autoist tells you he's
afraid he may blow out a tire. She
admits that bad falls come, and that
the machines are liable to break some
thing, but she adds, "just keep cool
and don't lose your head in a pinch
A stalled engine doesn't worry her.
It's the possibility of wing getting
broken or something going wrong
with the steering gear.
Miss Law says it is possible to
bring her plane back to the place
from which it starts. She can drop
right back on the spot from which she
starts. Some folks still think your
paine goes where it will. and that
you just guide it little she said
but you can come right back to the
starting point every time"
Wind makes no trouble in vertical
flights. but hampers the loop the loop
and fancy flying considerably, al
though Miss Law makes her flights
even in the teeth OF the toughest
winds She has to watch wind condi
tions, however, and was keeping her
weather eye out yesterday and max
ing inquiries as to the direction OF
the breezes here. She also watches
for tall chimneys and the like, in
order to avoid air pockets.

NEW WEDDING RING.
To Be Up to Date Your Ring Must Be
Double.

To Be Up to Date Your Ring Must Be
Double.
For the autumn bride there is a new
sort of wedding ring. To the casual
eye 1t appears to be just the ordinary
gold circlet, heavy yet narrow, as fash
ionable wedding rings are now. An
adroit twist of the fingers, however,
and, behold, the ring becomes two
rings, the rounded edges at the outer
side and fat surface within. On this
fat surface the bridegroom may have
engraved a secret inscription of senu-
ment, which nobody but the bride-and
himself, of .course-will ever be able to
read unless some one discovers the
trick of opening the ring. The best
wedding ring Is of fourteen carat gold
heavy and solid and not too wide
Very wide wedding rings have gone
out of fashion, and the modish band is
narrow and well rounded at the outer
side. A ring Of eighteen carat gold has
a beautiful color but will not wear as
well as the fourteen carat ring, and, of
course, ring that is never removed
from the hand IS apt to have hard
usage. 10 come into contact with sur

The box can bc mounted on brackets

preferable because il permits the box
to be moved easily from room to room
for spraying and also to be turned
with it's best side outward.
The chief difficulty with house plants
is lack Of moisture However, il the
plants are well soaked once week by
placing the boxes on their sides in a
bathtub of warm water for ten min
utes. the roots will have sufficient mois
ture, and by spraying the foliage well
with water every other day and occa
sionaly with kerosene emulsion the
plants will be free from insects.
Obtain good top soil from a florist.
Make four inch pots from strong
brown paper and put plant in each
pot. filling the pot with soil Put two
inches of soil in the bottom Of the
window box over the broken pottery,
place the potted plants on this bed of
earth and pack the space between the
pots with soft soil and moss. This
helps to retain the moisture and keeps
the soil damp.
Satisfactory plants for winter bloom
ing are cyclamens, geraniums, hello

primula malacoides, narcissi, etc
Some good climbing plants are Eng |
lish and German ivy, coboea, japanese |
hops, smilax and manetta vine.
When plants are wanted for winter |
blooming they must not be allowed to |
bloom through the summer; their buds |
during this season must be pinched |
off as fast as they appear.
A few plants dropping over the front
improve the appearance of the box.
English ivy, sweet alys-
sum and mahernia odorata are a few
that are suitable for this purpose
The only care plants need aside from
which is very important,
and soaking is fairly even tempera-

and not less than 80 degrees at night.
If weather is very cold cover them at
night with a few newspapers. Admit

PLANTING LILIES.
Why and How They Should Be Planted
In the Fall.

Most lilies do best planted in the au-
tumn. If left until spring the planting
is very likely to be done too late in the
season
1t pays to take pains in making a
lily bed, and If best results are wanted
for small beds remove eighteen inches
of soil Turn over the bottom Of the
bed with a garden fork and cover this
soil with six inches of the good top
soil. On the topsoil spread two inches
of dried sheep or stable manure sold
by seedsmen. Turn this over with a
garden fork so as to thoroughly incor-
porate the manure and layer Of top
soil, leveing it with rake. This done,
cover the whole evenly with six inches
of coarse sand. Place the lily bulbs on
the sand, setting them foot or more
apart each way.
When the bulbs are all in position
cover them TO a depth Of six inches
with soil. Never use manure so it will
come in contact with the bulbs.
