AIRiMEN FIGHT DUEL.
British Flyer Kills German Expert at
Prearransed Meeting.

New York, Oct. 30.-One OF the most
thrilling stories that has come out Of
the great war Is that Of a a<prearranged
duel In the air between Captain Ball.
an English pilot, and Captain mmel-
mann. Germany's crack aviator. The
duel took place over the trenches. while
the anti-aircraft guns on both sides
withheld their fire. and resulted in the
death of Immelmann.
Immellnan had fifty-one downs to
his credit, and Ball had sent forty mine
planes to earth when they met, accord
ing to Colonel William Macklin of the
Canadian forces, In a, letter written to
friend in Newark.

from our trenches there were wild
cheers for Ball. The Germans yelled
just as vigorously for Immelmann.
Ball, thousands Of feet above US

doing the craziest things imaginable.
He was below Immelmann and was
apparently making no effort to get
above him, thus gaining the advan-
tage Of position. Rather he was
swinging around, this way and that,
attemptingN 1t seemed, to postpone
the inevitable.
We saw the Germans machine dip
over preparatory to starting the nose

his raking fire once 1t was being
driven straight down.
Then, in the fraction Of q second,
the tables were turned. Before I'm.

cutting loose with hls gun and smash

PRAISE TO THE COMMISSIONERS

There is no doubt in the minds Of
a great many people that the commits
sioners of Henderson county have act
ed wisely in favoring a farm demon
strator for the county.
1t is also a we'll known fact that
they took "the bull b ythe horns"
whe nthey decided the matter, because
as the old saying goes, they had heard
from the Ridge" and the Ridge was
agin it. After waiting three months
befare any opposition materialized,
the commissioners felt that those who
were against the demonstrator. needed
to be educated, and that owing to the
fact that a vast majority of the farm
ers throughout the county wanted the
work to begin at once, they did not
take very long last Tuesday to decide
in favor Of employing a whole time
demonstration at the earliest possible
moment.
No doubt a few dfsgruntled farmers
will begin to knock the commission
ers, who have done what they think
best for Henderson county. These
kickers should not be tolerated and
every progressive farmer should lend
his efforts in promoting harmony and
cooperation.
The commissioners are live, wide
awake citizens. they have met the issue
