MAKE LIGHT OF ALL RISKS
British Aviators Think Little OF Dan
qer When There is Chance
to Hurt the Enemy.

The daringly low fights OF Engilsn
airmen at the front are shown IN the
official notes to awards Of the military
cross:
Lieut.. Richard Aveline Mayberg, Ian
GERS and R. F. c., after attacking TWO
airdromes in succession at very low al
titudes and inflicting considerable dam
age attacked and dispersed a NUMBER
Of mounted men and then attacked a
freight train. He next attacked anu
shot down a hostile machine at ooo
feet. and before returning attacked a
passenger train.
Second Lieut.. Walbanke A. Prltt'
r. f. c., in attacking a hostile ar
drome dropped bombs from very low
altitude and attacked and destroyed
two enemy machines almost as soon as
thew had left the ground. A machine
gun then opened upon him from the
airdrome, which he Immediately at
tackled. Both on his outward ana
homeward journey he was under very
heavy fire. Once he attacked mo-
torcar and shot one Of the occupants
from about fifty feet, afterward attack
ing infantry on the march ana innict-
ing severe casualties upon them.
Second Lieut.. Alexander A. N. Pent-
land, r. f. c., descended to within
twenty feet of the ground and fired into
eight hostile machines. On his return
Journey he attacked a train with con-
siderable effect from low altitude. he
has always shown fearlessness ana oe-
votion to duty in attacking enemy bal
looms and troops on the ground.

warship Repairs.

Over and above the great ACTIVITY
of the British yards in building new
warships, particularly destroyers, and
the construction Of merchant ships, an
enormous amount Of time and labor
has to be devoted to repairs. In re-
cent speech Sir Eric Geddes said !:
During one month the number OF war
vessels which needed repairs was
nearly 1,OO0-that is, in addition to the
/ lao merchant ships-and that was by
no means an abnormal month. Since
the beginning Of the war $1,000 war
vessels, including, patrol craft and
mine sweepers, have been doeked or
placed on the ways, and these figures
do not include repair work done to the
vessels of our allies"
Add to this the arming Of the vast
feet of British merchant vessels, ard
we have some conception OF the enor-
nous task Of shipbuilding, eQuipping
and repairing carried on by the British
admiralty.

look out! But that isn't the story.
Like almost all dogs of the so-calied

CORN SYRUP MAY Be
USED IN PRESERVING
Corn Syrup Successfully Used In
Equal Proportion With Sugar &
Save Susar-Last Fee" Weeks OF
Canning Should be Busy Weeks.

Columbia.-The canning season VIII

these last few weeks should be taken

Corn syrup may be used successful'
ly in preserves, jams and jellies by
using one-half corn syrup and one-haH
sugar. In place of one cup Of sugar,
one cup Of clear honey or one and
two-thirds to two cups may be used.
These suggestions are made by the
Food Administration:
Prepare fruit and add the sugar.
Allow to stand several hours until
sufficient juice to prevent burning IL
extracted. Then add the syrup and
cook as usual, but DO not use any
water at all. It makes very heavy
syrup, which is usually desired, and
does not make any difference in the
favor
In making preserves and marina
ladies', equal weight Of corn syrup may
be used, making a three-fourtha
syrup, instead of all sugar. One
method is to make blended syrup

sugar to the gently simmerin. gfruit.

EinIand's New Flag.

The Russian revolution will probably
result in lengthening the list OF the
worlds flags by several additions. Fin
land. which. since March, has ceased
to be a grand duchy and has declared
her independence and status as a re-
rublic. has now decided on her national
celors. She will have three different
standards: the national flag, the flag
cf the merchant service. and that OF
the pilot and customs services. The
rational colors are those which were
acclaimed at the time of the reyolu-
ton, the yellow lion of Finland sur
rounded BY nine white roses on red
ground. The flag of the merchant
service will have yellow perpendfcu-
lar cross on a red ground and in the
TOP right-hand corner, nine white roses
set symmetrically in three rows. The
pilot and customs services flag will be
the same, except that it will carry the
yellow of Finland instead of the white
roses.

FROM LIT. JAS H. WALLACE

Clarence Wallace has received a

Wallace describing the part his reg;-
ment to k in the fight beginning July

ing some Of their boats and crossing
to the other side where they captured
several pontoon trains. These were
used by the American engiseers TO
bridge the Marne. The engineers
placed the following sign on the
bridges: quilt in Germany for the
use of the American army" The Ger

The losses of the 3Sth was pretty
as they suffered casulties to the num-
Der of 1900 out of an original 1900

FAREWELL PARTY.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Swanson was the scene of activities
on last Friday evening when hun
dreds of the friends of the family
gathered in honor of the two sons,
Bernard and Harry Swanson, who go
soon to join the colors, Bernard leav-
ing with the division Monday, and Har-
ry, who expects to go very soon, thus
adding two more stalwart recruits to
Uncle Sans great and glorious army.
The boys were rather taken by sur
prise as their guests had neglected
to inform them of their plans previous
ly, but they rallied to the situation, as
the spacious house and lawn soon fill
ed to overfowing, and the friendly
hospitality extended made the occa-
sion most pleasant one for all.
During the evening the boys, to-
gether with the family, were given
seats of honor on the we'll lighted
porch and short program was CIV
en-. Mrs. M. Barr presided and later
presented the boys, in behalf of the
company, with handsome wrist
watches as souvenirs. The boys re-
sponded feelingly with gallant trib-
ute to the old flag, showing them
selves to be true soldiers, and ever
ready to defend Old Glory. Every
good wish of their friends was then
extended to these young men, and af-
ter dainty refrehments had been served

IOWA SOLDIERS ARE EFFICIENT.
Are Progress Sing Rapidly in Training
as Truck and Auto Drivers.

Five hundred and fifty Iowa men
who are in the National Army Train
ing Detachment at Iowa State College
at Ames are showing marked eff
cheney both in their work in the shops
and on the drill ground. They were
recruited from every county of the
state and when they came were as
hard as nails, BECAUSE most of them
had been doing farm or other outdoor
work On account of this. their mill
tary training has been rushed. They
are getting along just as rapidly in
their training as auto drivers and me-
chanics because practically every one
of them can drive car. thus reflect
ing Iowa's supremacy in automobiles.
These Iowa boys do not wait for
someone to entertain them. but pro-
vide it for themselves. They have or
ganized a good band OF 80 pieces, an
orchestra and baseball team. which
has cleaned up several of the teams
around Ames.
