Luncheon Notes

A fair-sized representation of the
Julesburg's business men was in at
tendance at the monday luncheon
held at the Brown Hotel Wednesday.
In The absence of President Jacob
Frickel. Jr., who was out Of town,
e. D. Parker, Jr. presided as chairman
of the post-luncheon discussion, which
was very interesting one, dealing
with ceveral important matters per-
tanning to community welfare.
Attorney C. M. Robson made re-
port in behalf Of the fair committee
which had been in conference with the
State Land Board at Denver. Mr..
Robson stated that the conference re-
suited in the promise from the board
to grant a patent to the Sedgwick
County Fair Association for the land
being used as demonstration farm in
the southwest part Of the county. In
this event it is the intention Of the
Fair Association to dispose Of the
land As~ bsing used as a demonstr.-
tion fam, and purchase grounds for
q county fair, it being realized that a
county fair with permanent buildings
etc. would be much more beneficial
to the county.
Chairman Parker stated that the
board of directors Of the Sedgwick
County Fair Association held q meet
ing last Tuesday night, and matters
pertaining to the disposal Of the de-
monstration farm and the purchasing
of suitable grounds for the holding
Of county fair were discussed. He
further stated that a committee from
the fair association had been appoint
ed to look after these matters, and
that definite action would probably be
taken within short time. It is now
practically assured that matters will
50 shape themselves whereby perma-
nent fair grounds will be established
and the cssnty fair placed upon a
substantial basis.
In view Of the above discussion, it
is now = matter Of speculation wheth-
er or not things will so shape them
selves in time for the holding of the
county fair this year. 1t must be
taken into consideration that some
time will be required to complete che
transaction with the Land Board, and
then it will be necessary to purchase

grounds and put them in shape suit
able for the holding of the fair. It is
hoped that arrangements may be
made in time to stage the fair this
year, but to the writer it appears
doubtful. However. it is pleasing to
note that the county fair is to be put
on substantial basis by another year
at least, and we predict it will be a
big asset to the county.

Iorner Cmutauqua, was present at

ate. OF course. that our company OF eight
characters in "Camoufiaged" have been

Capt. G. De Freest Larner, Wash

this country on the L. s. s. Michigan
last Monday. today is at his apart
ment in the Highlands. He has many
stories of escapes from death while
lighting the Germans in the air.

planes and many times narrowly es-

Germans were killed in this way, but
the strafing served to scare and scat

Larner was ground strafng" in
the last days OF the war when he
came across two French peasants

Ieted. He few over them at a speed
of about 125 miles an hour, and drop
ped bombs directly over each. When
nearly half a mile away he heard the
explosions, turned. and saw the
houses blown up.
Larner's last fight was the most
spectacular. 1t was the day before
the armistice was signed, and the
Americans were to carry out the big
gest bomb raid they had attempted.
Eighty bombing planes, protected by
fifty Spad scout planes. went over
under cover Of darkness. to bomb
Montmedy, a German concentration
point. The raid was never carried
out. because they were intercepted by
more than fifty German battleplanes.
1t was each man for himself. and
Larner attacked a separate patrol OF
seven. He got" two, and then the

sky was lighted by flaming planes

place during the ArgoEne-Meuse Of

Larner says one Of the worst bat

German Fokker machines. It was

up under the foe plane. and killed
the observer. The German pilot then
lost control, and the machine went to
earth in flames.
A third plane came at LaFner. and
by sheer luck he hit the German in
vital spot before he crashed into the
small machine Larner was flying. All
of this happened within two minutes,
and. though he got three Germans,
Larner was officially credited with
only two.
