RUTH LAW TO FLY
 AT NATIONAL FAIR
America Greatest Aviatrix To Appear Ten Days at New
 Orleans.

Ruth Law, Americas greatest avia' Erix, will be at New Orleans for the full term of the National Farm aud Live Stock Show, Nov. 10 to 19, and will make spectacular day and night flights.
 Within the past year the name ot Ruth Law has becoms~a household word all over the United States. In quick succession she has set one new flying record after another, and has performed many dangerous and diff. cult feats with her aeroplane. She came into national fame when she made her record breaking flight from Chicago to New York.
 Some time ago Miss Law rendered her services to the United States gov ernment for the European front. Be- cause she is a woman and Americans do not believe in having women do their fighting, her offer has not been accepted.
 But Miss Law still cilerishes an am- bition to fly a battle plane on the Al lied western front-a dueling airplane. She has seen the French and English aviators in their maneuvers and has flown with some of them in their prac- tice flights. She believes she could handle one of the fragile machines III the twisting, turning, falling combats of the air.
 Miss Law recently said
 eff Woodrow Wilson, president ot the United States and cOmmander-in- chief of our military forces, were to say to me, 'Aviatrix Law, 1 hereby commission you to go get the kaiser l should fly away on my bombing mis- sion not only with free conscience, but with a glad heart"
 Tn the meantime Miss Law Is doing her mite for America. A few days ago she subscribed $1O,0O0 to the second Liberty Loan. A great favorite with the boys in khaki she is arranging for series of flights for the soldiers entertainment at various cantonments over the country.
 During her comparatively long stay in New Orleans she will thrill the fairs visitors by looping the loop and performing numerous feats which no one except herself has yet succeeded in mastering Recently she surpassed all records by making the loop twenty one times in a single flight. Her night flights will be illuminated by beauti. full and dazzling pyrotechnic displays.
 Miss Law commands $1,000 per day, by far the highest salary paid any services l. B. Rennyson, manager Of the show, is maintaining his policy of offering none except the finest attrac tions obtainable

Sap Is pumped up through the wood

medium. Therefore tree may live

self-sacrifcing. He has told the people
how he is willing to do his part in serving
the country in its present predicament.
He is willing to forego meat for break
fast twice week while the war lasts,
he says.
If Mr.. Armour isn't a martyr where
are you going to find one?
How would it do for him to put the
price Of his product down to a figure
where many thousands of people in this
country and in the large cities, especial
", could afford to have meat for pos
sibly one meal in&a week.
This generous millionaire meat packer
had better have ssditched' his extra two
meat meals week and said nothing
about it.

Several days ago Lieutenant Kause

being that there were only five of the
privates, They with three officers, the
captain and two lieutenants subscribed
to the required oath while on the Mexican
border.
Captain Groebner says that unless a
respectable number now come forward
to take the oath the company will be 50

NEW uLM BREAKS PRECEDENT

Last year several applicants for
saloon licenses at New Ulm were asked
to appear before the council to answer
to certain charges that had been PIE
ferred against them by New Ulm con-
stable. The hearing consumed some
time and it was quite late when it was
over. The council exacted a promise
from the applicants to run their places
according to law and they were granted
licenses. One of the saloonkeepers felt
so good about it that he invited the coun-
Gil to come over to his saloon after the
meeting, despite the late hour. The
council could not accept the invitation,
however. Last Friday, for the first
time in New Ulm's history, an applica-
ton for licenses was turned down and
1t happened to be that of this same
hospitable saloonkeeper. Precedent
has been shattered. The possession of
saloon license and $500 no longer gives
saloonkeeper a vested right to a re-
neWal OF his license.-Spgd. Free Press.
The broken precedent was promptly
mended, however. Three days later
the council held another meeting and
the discarded saloon keeper was given
his license. It was specified that he
should sell out the next day, and th~ Z
saloon is running right along, as l.
nothing had happened. \

Would Send School Boys To War

~ OeVVW AJOSVN 0NyVVVVDVOO AO " W.
C. G. Schulz, State Superintendent
of Schools, would send the school boys
to war. Wednesday he notified the
school officers, principals and super
intendents that the best way the schools
of the state can aid the national cause
is to allow boys to enter active military
service, at once and allow them full
credit for time lost out of school.
The announcement sent to all school
officials in the state pointed out that
boys physically able should enlist, with
their parents or guardians consent.
Others should enrol for farm work and
still others for munitions production.
While Superintendent Schulz lays
some stress on what the boys can do on
the farms he is apparently quite anxious
that lot of them should throw them
selves into the trenches. He says that
high school boys can go to the farms
"if they do not join the colors.''
