Some Wonderful Sights.

"They told me not to look down
when l got up in the air, but l ala
not want to miss anything, SO looked,
and it was wonderful. Everythins
was just tiny specks," Miss Mckenzie
told her friends afterwards. 1t only
takes two and half hours to come
from Chicago to Keokuk in the "Deatn
Flyer" and Miss Mckenzie Is lament
ing now that she didn't come home
via the air.
Emil and Charles Laird, the men
with whom Miss Mckenzie and Miss
Wolff made their respective flights
are expert airnen and famous
over the country as exhibition flyers
and also as builders of planes. They
have been interested in aircrafts since
they were boys of fourteen and they
are now building more Of them in Chi
cago at the present time. The Death
Flyer" is an all white plane with a
skeleton painted on one side. 1t has

blew their way into the vault About

the greatest loss was to people Who
had safety deposit boxes in which
they had valuable papers and coupon
Liberty bonds. The boxes which were
in the vault were broken open and
rifled and this was the extent of the
loss. as the yeggs didn't get into the
hank safe. Many people had invest

marked that she could almost make

parts of machine in the making
and how they were all put together to
produce a complete product. She can
tell you the why and wheref,-a OF

Four of the planes which made thu

landed at the field in which the Laird
brothers had their plane and MISS
Mckenzie saw them do it Three OF

one Of them was of German origin.
The victor, Maynard, was personally
introduced to Miss Mckenzie.

by Governor Allen and receivers ap-
pointed by the supreme court. The
mines are to be restored to the control
of operators imme ediately that they
may carry out contracts made in ad-
vance of the fuel strike. Final disso-
luton of the receivership by the su-
preme court will occur before the first
of the year.
All expenses incurred in connection
with the CONTEMPLATION ma
tional guard eXpenses-have been met
by receivers thru sale of coal mined by
Governor Aliens volunteers and re-
turned union workers. By tonight
enough revenue will be insured to re-
ceivers to guarantee payments of all
accounts. Governor Allen asserted.
This will relieve the state legislature
of the responsibility of paying deficits
for state operation of the mining prop
critics. The legislature, tho, will be
asked to restore funds used from the
adjutant generals office.
Profits of retailers were eliminated
during state operation of the mines
All coal from the state receivers was
sold direct to consumers thru local Of
ficers or organizations. This plan
added nearly $3.50 to the revenues of
the receivers from each ton of coal
produced. It is believed that the rev.
enues of the receivership will be suf-
ficient to retire all bonds issued under
approval of the court and to release
the receivers without expense to the
state or the operators. Formal appli-
cation for dissolution of the receiver
ship will probably be made some time
next week.

NOT WORRYING JESS
Ex-Champ Says Attorney General
WAITS Publicity in Wood Case.

Lawrence, Kan. Dec. 18.-Jess Will
lard believes the charges against him
of prOfiteering in the sale of wood will
never come to a hearing. Willard was
in Lawrence Wednesday and said he
understood the matter will be dropped.
''It looks to me very much like an
attempt on the part of the attorney
general to either get a little publicity
or an effort to find a goat and there
by square himself with the people of
Kansas, who have been clamoring for
something to be done about high
prices Willard said in discussing the
case. st let the city commissioners of
Topeka fix their own prices. 81 a ton
in cord lengths or s8 a ton sawed
in blocks. / told them if that wasn't
fair to let me know. AS wood was
selling for SIS to $40 ton in Topeka,
this price on my farm seemed fair to
them and I began selling at these
