CHAS, MILLS WILL
ENTERTAIN CROWDS
All In Readiness for Dare Devil
Aviator Who viii Thrill
Fair Crowds.

We mounted our trusty bicycle on
Tuesday afternoon and headed for the
Kandiyohi county fair grounds, bent
on interviewing Charles T. (better
known as Dare Devil') Mills. When
we arrived he was busily engaged in
the preliminary process Of building
up" the hydroplane with which he ex-
poets to thrill the thousands Of fair
visitors the last three days of the
week.
Being little timid as to whether
the bird man cared to talk about him.
self. or not, we approached rather
cautiously. but were soon put at ease
by the manner in which Mills answer
ed the questions asked of him.
How long does it take you to put
that thing together each time you do
it," was the first question asked.
80, there's about six hours work
to it," he replied, as he sat on the
ground, smearing water proof glue
over a square piece of canvas, prepar-
atory to putting patch on the top
plane.
Down at Albert Lea last week." he
continued, II stopped under some
trees, and the branches tore thru the
CLOTH
What kind Of cloth do you use on
the planes, canvas?" we next asked
him.
I'VE started out to use Irish linen,"
replied the D. D., "but when the war
broke out, it YVES impossible to get
that so now we use unbleached mus
lin."
Some motor on that machine isn't
it," he was asked.
well rather" was the reply. Il
wouldn't sell that motor for love or
money. Seventy horse power, and
she'll pull it, too Maximotor, manu-
factured at Detroit, Mich. If any one
wants a good bargain in hydroplane,
III sell them this one cheap, but not
the motor
"You must see a lot Of the world
travelling around the way you do
some one asked him.
"O,yes, l see my share of it all
right" was the answer. II had in.
tended to run school of instruction
in aviation this year, but started out
the tenth day Of June, to fly at var

been at 1t ever since. The only day
| l have missed a fight that was
scheduled for, this summer, was last
week at Albert Lea. The day was
nasty, and the crowd was small, so
called it off. Since started l have
travelled thru ten states.
Continuing the aviator told that
this was to be his last flight in the
hydro-plane this year. After leaving
here on Saturday night, the remand
er Of the flights are to be made from
an aeroplane. He carries wheels righ
with him on his travels from place tt
place and it is an easy matter to take
the plane from the pontoon base ant
place it on the wheels.
Flying hydro-plane is a lot hard
er work, and lot more risky bust
ness than awaiting in an aeroplane
The former is heavier and there i
more chance for an accident thai
with the lighter Land flyer"
Mills finished setting the machin
up this afternoon, and everything i
in readiness for his first flight Thurs
day afternoon.
