Aviator Here During
Mississippi Valley Fair

The machine W. A. Preist, aviator, is
to use here during his coming exhibitions
at the Holmes county fair is said to be
the safest ever devised for passenger car
rying. 1t is a type used at the front by
the Royal Flying Corps Of Canada and
is known as the "Canuck" The power
full motor handles this machine with per-
feet ease and the danger from fire, etc,
is absolutely eliminated in this type as
result of experiences from the first
Curtiss plane built for the U. S. army,
when it will be remembered that several
planes caught fire from the exhaust Of
the engine.
Preist has carried over 5000 passengers
since April lst and without an accident,
an almost unprecedented record in the
annals of aviation. After he has made
his first flight over ground which he
is to use he lands at any angle and fire.
quently picks out the track in front Of
the grandstand unless his passenger Is
extremely heavy in which case he uses
the infield.
There is possibility that the aviator
will fly into this city from a previous
date and If so no one should be surprised
II some time in the evenings they hear
the hum Of the big motor over head,
What they should do is make up their
mind at once to attend the big Mississippi
