LIEUT.. RINKER'S MACHINE
DAMAGED

After having passed through sew
eraI months of training in the avia-
ton services of the government as a
student and as many months as an
instructor in handling an areop1ane
while in action without an accident of
any kind, it remained for Lieut.. Harry
Rlnker, of this city, to meet with his
first accident of any kind last Friday
evening about dark at Burdick, Kan
sas, southeast of Abilene in Morris
county. He had fulfilled his contract
for an exhibition flight at the fair and
had been in the air many times during
the afternoon carrying passengers
Late in the evening he decided to give
them a little free exhibition with
some extra stunts. He had finished a
nose spin and was righting his ma
chine when the tail struck guy wire
from a telephone post This throwed
the machine to one side and one wing
caught on the telephone wire throw
ing the machine to the ground, badly
damaging and breaking the left wings
He was SO near the ground the fall did
not hurt him any excepting for few
small scratches and bruises. Harry
come home Monday night and the ma
chine is undergoing repairs.

CONCERNING COUNTY FAIRS

In the current issue of the Farmers
Mail and Breeze in the West Kansas
Field News department conducted by
G. C. Gibson are a few paragraphs ON
the subject of county fairs which we
deem worthy of publication They ap-
pear herewith:
County and district fairs are in pro-
ress now through Western Kansas I
have attended several of them this fall
and it is surprising to note the lack
of agricultural and livestock exhibits
to be found at these fairs i
have often wondered if there is
not danger in placing too little value
on the products of the farm which
might be exhibited at these fairs.
esWhen the farmer is questioned as
to why he does not exhibit his live
stock and farm products, his answer
invariably Is, that the premium offer
ed is not enough to pay for the trouble
in getting an exhibit ready Yet Off
cials of fairs readily offer large
amounts to airmen to give exhibition
flights which nowadays attract very
little attention

received $500 while the farmer who
exhibited the sweepstakes bull receiv-
ed $25 a prize. It cost more than
that to get animal ready to ex-
hibit and the farmer nowadays is too
busy to spend such time unless there
is some chance to be rewarded In
some way
cat another fair attended the as
sociation had brought IN free attrac-
tions costing $500, yet hitchipg up
contest among the farmers at the fair
attracted more attention and only
cost the association $25 for prizes.
"I sometimes wonder if we are not
forgetting the real purpose of the
county fair IF prizes worth while
were offered for farm products and
livestock the exhibit buildings would
soon be overfowing with exhibits
from farms in the community where
the fair is held.
seThe strange and unusaI after all
is the things in which we are most in
terested. It is the common everyday
things that we care for most and it
seems that we must get back to them
if the county fair is to be again a sue
cess Why not offer a prize of 800
for the best busheI of wheat or corn,
or livestock exhibited? A prize of
500 for the best farm team and har-
ness would arouse more interest and
bring more persons to the fairs than
Caruso would as a free attraction
And it would be wo-th more in the
long run from the farmers stand
point

VERDICT FOR DEFENSE

The case of Linn vs. Dietz, was
Eried again Monday before Justice
Acre and this time the jury rendered
a verdict in favor of the defense The
same case was tried three weeks ago
and the jury could not reach a YER
dict This is case wherein Linn was
suelng for damages which he consider
ed were due him He was working for
A. A Schriner on a threshing ma
chine and found where he could get
another job. He quit working for
Schrlner with the understanding that
he could work for company of farm
ers who were buying a machine, and
in which company Mr.. Dietz was
partner Because the company could
hire another man at ten dollars per
day, Mr.. Linn was not employed at
twelve dollars. He was. out of employ
ment for four work days and asked
damages for that time and for the
expenses which accrued for board and
Incidental expenses. The evidence was
not tasuhiclnt to convince the jury that
Linn had been engaged by the com
pany and by not having been employ
ed they could not see how he was en-
titled to damages and thus rendered
a verdict in favor of the defendants
The cost of the case and the time lost
makes it worth about one-hundred
fifty dollars. Fifteen dollars could have
settled it in the first place and have
kept it out of court

DICTAGRAMS

Some peculiar things occur in the
mail service, especially in the war
mails. Letters are being returned to
the writers after wandering around
over half the world, apparently Last
winter a young lady in Quincy, Him
ois, sent a letter to her brother,
somewhere in France 1t so happen
ed that another soldier of the same
name was serving in Germany at shat
time in the army of occupation. After
about six months of travel the letter
was delivered to Soldier No 2, at Wa
keeney, Kansas. He opened it of
course and then returned it to the
writer She responded with an ex-
planatlon that cleared up the mystery.
In another instance a soldier receiv-
ed notice of his own death after he
had returned home, in good health.
IN another case a sister received a
letter from her brother after he had
gone west" 1t seemed like a mes
sage from the spirit world.

ARE YOU A BoosTER-oRABEAR?

1t is principle among large business houses
that salesman to be successful, must first sell
himself" In other words, he must believe in his
firm, and in what he has to SELL he must him
self first be convinced of the merits of his goods
and his proposition, viewing it from the stand
point of the customer. Having first sold himself
he can put his whole heart into his salesmanship.
Mr. Americus man, what kind of salesman
are you for Amercus2 Have you sold yourself
on Americus? Do you believe in your town
and its future? Or you of those who say
that things cannot be done-that all that is ever
done here is talk?
What are you doing to sell Americus' to the
other fellow2 What are you doing to show you
believe in Americus?
Americus is face to face with opportunities
never before dreamed of. Her limitations are
measured only by the extent to which her citizens
believe in her. And the people of Americus are
going to have the opportunity shortly to demon
strate their faith in their town.

HANDS FAST; BIG
DEALSREPORTED

The following recent sales are sui
fcient evidence to show that Sumter
and Lee county lands are in demand,
N spite of the boil weevil. 1t is also
evident that these valuable lands VIII
still advance in value.
John Harvey, of Leslie, has sold
his farm near Leslie to G. W. Bar
row, of Americus, purchase price un-
announced. This gives Mr.. Barrow
one of the best farms in that vicinity,
l1,785 acres, well improved and well
located
The Terrell Land company has sold
to Messrs. Hill & Thomas, of Cobb,
and Anderson, of Leslie, $50 acres
for $4,000. then resold it to John
Statham, of Cobb, for $4,000. And
Mr.. Statham is very enthusiastic
over his purchase.
The same firm has sold W. M.
Laramore and son, Willard, 1,768
acres for 100000. This added, to
their original farm, gives them about
5000 acres, all high grade level land.
A. R. Chunn, of Woodbury., has
bought of DIR. W. A. Rember 662
acres at Cobb, the purchase price be-
ing $4,000.
B. C. Hodges has bought of Gate
wood Brothers 618 acres; of Mr..
Castle, 100 acres and of ]. H. Hunt,
Gainesville, 835 acres, making a to-
tai of 1888 acres he has purchased
through Messers. Andrews recently.
He had previously bought 1928
acres through them. All of this land

Hodges states that it will now take
500 per acre to get this fine body
of land.

SPIRITS.

NOV some gifted men are telling of the life on
t'other shore, where our vanished friends
are dwelling, knowing sorrow never more. Mes
sages from souls departed come across the 81
lent void and the dead seem CHEEKY hearted at
their useful tasks employed. And the news
seems fine and dandy, that in realms beyond the
stars shades still have their suds and brandy,
and are not denied cigars. Men of worldwide
reputation, Savant Lodge and Arthur Doyle,
have with ghosts held conversation, at the hour
of midnight oil. Phantoms told what they were
doing in the land where time is not, told of
chores they were pursuing and of fun that hit
the spot Nothing that they've said enlghtens
clears the mystery of DOOM nothing that they
hand brightens any aspect of the tomb.
Johnsing dies and goes to Aidenn and he talks
with mortals here, but the things he says are
laden with the pifle atmosphere. | would hail
with veneration any clear and vibrant word, any
honest revelation that's not triAing or absurd.

THE WHITE MAN TO BLAME, TOO.

The white man is also responsible for the
last two serious race outbreaks, as well the
negro, it appears from the facts that have come
out following these national tragedies, although
acts of negroes in each proved to be the sparks
which set the fires of lawlessness going In Ar
kansas it was the white propagandist, spreading
dangerous doctrine among the ignorant blacks. In
Omaha it was municipal politics. too long neglected
by the majority of the otherwise progressive ele
ment, which begat police corruption, the infection
spreading to court circles and beyond.
The case of Omaha presents an interesting
study of the ways of reformers," who so often
prove impractical dealists totally incompetent to
