BENEFIT SHOW

Many Tickets Being Sold for Big Feat. ure Production at Bradley Thestre.
 Friday Night, Dec. Fist
Interest Continues Ia Patriots Effort for
 Little Mother

There has been even more interest than anticipated in the PATRIOTS fund for little Josie Wrohel, the is year old girl who lost her foot while picking up coal on the railroad track. It seems assured now that the little girl will have an artificial foot titted when the time comes and she can then get about without the aid of crutches. On account of her youth the foot will nave tu be changed as she grows older and larger so that there wih be an ad ditional expense besides the original cost of purchasing and fitting the foot. The interest has been so great and the donations so generous tbal It Is now believed that most, il not quite all, Of the expense will be taken care of by the PATRIOT fund before Il closes on Christmas Day.
 Josle was proud when she saw her picture in the PATRIOT last week. She appreciates what Is being done for her and thinks people are very kind to show such interest in poor little girl. When she showed the PATRIOTS pie ture to n hospital surgeon and he said in sport; .What little old lady is that sittinR in ' rocking chair2' Josie only laughed at him and sad; "Dats me, doctor, Oats me, you know dst's me"
 While Josie speaks i've languages she finds English about the hardest 10 manage. The sslh" sound bolhers her ns it does most people whose native tongue is foreign one.
 The PATRIOTS big benefit show at the Bradley theatre Is bound to be a big success. The little ticket sellers, have worked hard and diligently in the cause. They have disposed x hundreds of tickets already and have another week to canvass. One little boy came into the office Monday and proudly deposited the proceeds from 10 tickets and asked for 100 more tick. cts 10 sell. He met PATRIOT rep. resentaiive on the street and asked for huuittubui tichtts huu Whs stbt to tHo office. He arrived breathless and told the editor that he met man on tue street who told him that n "guy" at the PATRIOT office would let him have more tickets "for the little girl"

Guynemer'S Remarkable Record
AS King of Air; Frenchman Bags
Three Enemies in as Many Minutes

The amazingly brilliant record of
achievement in the air made by the
man who has been styled by his coun-
trymen as the "D'Artagnan OF the
Clouds" and by his comrades of the
air. British and American, as "The
King of the Aces"-Captain Georges
.Guyneme. of the French army-really
began when he was rejected at his
,examinatin for military duty as un-
Fl for any strenuous occupation. To-
day. according to to the most recent
advices, the number of German ma
chimes he has brought to earth and or
German aviators killed, wounded or
captured is rapidly approaching Sixty
Instead of moping because those
higher than he considered him unfit for
service, the valiant young F'renchman,
lust three years ago, at the age OF 49,
demanded employment in the service
of France, and is, as luck would have
If Int rather as a last resort on the
mart of those to whome he made appli-
cation. he was ordered to one OF tRS
great French aviation camps to learn

the mechanics of ar airplane. He was
even told that he might, after q long
apprenticeship, master the technical
knowledge involved and become full
tiedged mechanician. 1t related that
he had made five successful attempts
attempts in different parts Of France
to pass the physical examination. but
was rejected each time. Once, inside
camp, however, he made valuable
use of the fact that he was ION the
ground"
By dint of hard work, he laid the
foundations of his later work in the
air and acquired the knowledge of
flying that has given him mystery of
the art. When he learned to fly. he
was at once taken into the service. The
secret of his success is said not to lie
SO much in his offensive technique,
which, a a rule, other f1iers have fired
several hundred shots before one prov
&c fatally effective.
Three Victims in Three Minutes.
No aviator had ever brought down
three German machines in three min
utes. Guynemer had gone to the as
sistance of a comrade Gin trouble"
hard-pressed as he was by five German
airmen. Two of the airmen were
brought down by bullets from Guyne-
ner's miltralleuse in two minutes, and,
mounting high in the air, he overlook
and swooped down on the third ma
chine, shooting it to the earth in
flames. He cast about, searching for
the other two, but bursting shell
stripped the left wing Of his machine
of its covering, and he plunged to the
earth within his own lines, unhurt.

on this occasion, "but after falling g.

Georges Guynemer brought down five
machines, four on the same day. Two
Of these machines were felled in one
minute, which is, perhaps, the first
time in the war that such thing has
been accomplished. These five new
victories bring up to forty-three the
number of German machines thus
far destroyed by this valiant officer"
More recent reports from the French
front said that Captain Guynemer had
bagged his fifty-second airman, aud in
addition to his many other decorations,
including the rosette of the officer of
the Legion of Honor, he had been dec
GRATED by King Albert of Belgium, and
a distinguished Rumanian general Wis
iting French headquarters.
Guynemer has collected set of pho
tographs which he has taken of var
ious enemy airplanes, in flight, falling,
rising to the attack, and almost as the
bullet struck them. Enemy aviators
are shown hurting through space in
falling from their machines, others
clinging to them in vain hope Of saw
ing themselves.
He is said to be most proud of his
victory over German machine man

as on other occasions when he showed
his remarkable resourcefulness, that
his machine gun had damned. He kept
his machine always at an advantag
'ecus position-above that of the enc
my. He made several feints and
plunges at each of which the German
pilot brought his machine nearer the
ground. The terrified Germans were
finally safely landed within the French
lines, unable to understand why they
had not been in collision many times
with cold Charles"

I keep asking myself. believe it was

which saved me-"
His first fight with an enemy air.
plane took place on July 10, 1915, after
he had left the ground in the parasof
of a biplane, with a mechanician to
act as machine gunner. A signal, fash
ed from below, told them that Ger
man machine had been sighted, and
they went to give battle The enemy
aviator, however, ran from the cha1-
lenge, and Guynemer was about to
descend when he saw another dot on
the horizon. This time the enemy scout
was headed for the French lines, and
.Guynemer followed him owe rthe city
of scissors. After the mechanician
had fired lis bullets at the enemy, he
was shot through the scalp.
To the surprise of the mechanician.
Guynemer took the machine gun in
hand himself, and with several shots,
struck the German flier, who sank
down in his seat. The machine took
fire a moment later and went hurtling
to the ground.
"Vieux Charles" cold Charles) is the
name of the machine in which he has
accounted for so many of the enemy,
and it is due to the speed of this ma
chine that its operator has been sew
eral times saved from death by the
proverbial hairs breadth. On Sept. 30,
1916, he found himself twenty miles
within the German lines, when one OF
the German airplanes, fast Fokker,
rose to the attack The reception was
being prepared when Guynemer sud-
denly discovered that his machine gun
had iammed The Prussian had opened
fire, and with $50 bullets, fired low,
had punctured the landing tires of "Old
Charles" At a height of $500 feet,
Guynemer saw a bank of clouds APP
proximately 1000 feet below. With his
engine racing at top, speed, he Owed
for the clouds, emerging ten minutes
later in clear space to find the Ger
man gone.
On still another day he came into
collision with large enemy L. G. V.
machine, tearing away the best part
CT the left wing of his machine, but
this was because his machine gun was
frozen and to escape the enemy's fire
he spun around ION one wing and
kept on going just six feet below the
L. G. V. The left wing of Guynemer's
machine engaged the right wing OF
that Of his adversary and in breaking
away, the wing of the French machine
was almost entirely torn away. The
German was glad to be quit of such 9
foe, and fed with Guynemer struggling
to keep "Old Charles" from falling.
An official French account of aerial
activities on June l read as follows:
''In the period between May II and
May 81, thirty-two German machines
were destroyed on our front during
aerial combats, in addition to fifty
seven others which were damaged sc
seriously and probably crashed to earth
within the enemy lines. Captain

A NEW ELEVATOR.
Contract Let This Week for It's Con-
struction in jerome.

Reference has heretofore been
made in these columns of the proba-
bility of new elevator being erected
here this season, and word was re-
ceived this week which gives assur-
ances that work on the structure will
commence as soon as material can
be put on the ground. The elevator
will be erected by the Farmers Mill
ing & Elevator Co., which have head
quarters both at Denver and Salt
Lake City, and K. G. Gleason, of this
place, received advices the first of
the week that the contract had been
let for its construction. We did not
learn the name of the contractors,
but understand 1t Is a Salt Lake firm.
We might state here that local con-
tractors were given an opportunity
to figure on the job, but under pres
ent conditions the question OF ma
terials is a very perplexing one, and
as no assurance could be given that
the material could be obtained, the
contract was accordingly given to
outside parties who guarantee the
fulfllment Of the same.
The elevator will be erected on a
site Just north OF the creamery, and
will be OF frame construction, built
on the crib style with planks laid
one on another, and will have a ca
pacity OF from 10000 to 10000 bush
els OF grain. 1t will be equipped
with all the late modern facilities for
the rapid and economical handling
OF grain, including elevators, auto
matte scales, etc.
In addition the company VIII erect
warehouse adjoining 30x60 feet, In
which will be installed roller mill
with capacity OF one 100-pound sack
per minute This process is consid.
cred an improvement over the pres.
ent method OF grinding grain, as II
simply brushes il instead of grinding
It. A large Climax seed re-cleanel
will also be installed, and Other
equipments necessary for handling
the products OF the tract.
An office building will also BIZ
erected to accommodate the clerica
force, and the entire equipment rep
/ resents an outlay OF several thou
sands OF dollars, and will be a valu
; able addition to the business inter
ests OF Jerome.
The contract calls for the compile
. tion OF the building in time for tn
( handling OF this seasons crops. an
the fact that this large concern is in
vesting this large sum here, is NOR
f practical evidence of the future o
this great tract.

For the frSt time In the history OF
Jerome. Memorial Day was most fit
tingly and properly observed by our
citizens in general. The committee
in charge had arranged a program
which was successfully carried out
The hour of gathering at the hall was
announced for l o'clock but 1t was
nearly an hour later when Chairman
Massey called the meeting to order
and briefly stated its objects. At
that time the large hall was filled to
Its capacity by our patriotic citizens.
The Masonic fraternity and the Or
der of Eagles attended the meeting
in a body. while there was a large
representation of other fraternal so
cieties scattered throughout the
audience.
On the stage were seated two vet
Grams of the Civil war. and also sur
vivors Of the Spanish war, and their
hearts must have gone out In graft
tude at the sight before them as they
witnessed the large number present
who had come to pay their respects
TO the dead and living heroes through
whose efforts the liberty OF the coun-
try has been preserved.
The meeting was opened by prayer
by Rev. Fletcher. after which Mr.
Massey, after briefly referring to the
Af
country on account of the war spirit
and reciting the causes leading up to
the observance of Memorial Day, In
troduced Rev Fletcher as the prin-
cipal speaker of the day, who in q
very interesting address recited the
history of the past ages In the fight
for the brotherhood OF man, follow
