Some excitement followed the an
nouncement last Thursday that an
"air ship" had landed the evening
before at Frank Theirs near Center

the Thier field. If it had come down
in a field of ripe barley or on some
farm buildings, someone's idea of cell
ebrating would have been as disas-
trous as it was untimely.
