SIKESTON IDEAL
AVIATION FIELD
Major Frissell Impressed With
Flying Sites in Southeast
Missouri.

Southeast Missouri offers the best
site for a Government aviation field
in the country, Major Patrick Frissell
announced Thursday after his arrival
in the Cape. He said that the ground
in the immediate vicinity of Sikeston
could not be surpassed.
Major Frissell expressed surprise
that the people of Southeast Missouri
had not made an effort to induce the
government to locate a field ehre.
There are four or five localities in
Southeast Missouri" said Major Fris-
sell, that are ideal for flying. I
have not seen more desirable loca-
tion than that around Sikeston.'
When told that some aviators had

complained of the sand near Sikeston
interfering with flights at county
fairs, Mr.. Frissell stated that the
government always sodded their avi-
alton fields, which offered firm foun-
dation.
He expressed the belief that the
government would be glad to have
its attention called to Southeast Mis-
souri,. The level stretches of land in
this pat of Missouri and especially
in the VIC nifty of Sikeston, were as
desirable as could b. found. He was
enthusiastic over the outlook at
Sikeston. His three assistants joined
with him in praising Southeast Mis-
souri,.
In view Of the fact that Major
Frissell is considered one of the most
accomplished men in the aerial serv-
ice, his compliment to Southeast Mis-
souri, is worth while.

"Pershing's Crusaders to be
shown this afternoon, tonight, to-
morrow afternoon and night at the
Palace theater, is without doubt one
of the most educational, as well as
the most inspiring picture ever
shown in Ardmore. This is the first
of a series of official war pictures
to be put out by the government,
and is one that the government
wants every American citizens to
see. The pictures are being pho
tographed by the United States sig
nal corps and navy photographers
and cameramen of the French gen
eral staff both at home and abroad.
and presented by the film division
of the committee on public lnfor-
nation, George Creel, chairman.
They show the grim earncstness OF
the United States government IN
its war aims, the activities OF the
cantonments and aviation fields, the
munition and arms plans and ship
yards at home and the participation
fthe army and navy abroad. Ev-
cry department of the immense plan
of preparation in the United States
is shown and in the pictures taken
in France you see "our boys
marching to the front line, occupy
ing the trenches, watching the Hun
from advanced observation posts.
Stores of munitions flowing like
rivers to the front, our heavy artil"
lery equipment, SO camouflaged that
you would never know it was IN
place. Secretary of War Baker is
seen on his first tour OF inspection
in France. General Pershing and
Secretary Baker are shown on their
tours of inspection to the camps
and trenches of our "Crusaders.
No one can we'll afford to miss this
great picture.

ing comedy featuring Enid Bennett

York, comes back to her home
with the firm intention of thor
oughly undermining and metamor-
phosing the old-fashioned quaint
ideas of the natives especially her
former sweetheart. editor of the To-
cal newspaper. The story is full OF
laughs from start to finish and con-
tains many new and unexpected
twists of plot.
