kIWhNIS MEN HEAR
LIEUT.. ELDR|DGE
Speaks of Numerous Encoun-
ters He Had With Enemy
While With French Ace.

That the life OF a pilot in the air
service is the most thrilling possible,
and carries with it experiences never
20 be forgotten, was the impression
received by members or the Kiwanis
club Thursday noon, when Lieut..
Donald II. Eldredge related a few
Of his many experiences acquired
while at the front.
Lieut.. Eldredge spoke OF the nu-
merous encounters he had with the
enemy while flying with the French
escadrille, spad rs, for which he was
awarded the French croix de guerre,
also his life OF excitement with the
American air forces which followe
his service in the French aviation
corps.
In a very interesting way he told
Of the training Of the aviator from
the day he enlists until he becomes a
first class pilot ITO acquaint the
new man with the mechanism of the
various types of army planes, his
first step is to drive his machine
without leaving the ground. The
wings are clipped in such way that
he is unable to leave the ground and
his engine is adjusted so he can gain
very great speed After he has
proven himself capable Of handling
his machine in this fashion he is al
lowed to fly a few feet in the air at
a slow speed in order that he may
learn to fly in a straight line.
Learning to Fly.
Usually he is next taught to fly
by the use of dual control machine
which has two steering controls. The
pilot rides in the front seat and
steers while the beginner sits in the
rear seat with his hands loosely
held on the steering apparatus,
which is connected with the pilots
drives and finally handles the con-
trolls alone while the pilot only
watches to see that he does 50 cor
rectly.
Following the preliminary train
ing the next step is the acrobatic
work. which becomes very interest
ing as it advances. 1t consists OF
learning to make dives, swivels and
other actions in the air, which is
necessary in time Of fighting the en-
envy"
Lieut. Eldredge related a number
Of personal experiences wherein he
was saved from falling into the en-
emy's hands through sheer luck. He
states that an aviator. usually wher
lost and unable to determine exactly
where he is, will plane toward the
ground, getting almost in reach Of
the guns from the ground and wait
to see if he is fired on. If he is
he Immediately climbs toward the
clouds and decides that he is in oc-
cupied enemy territory. This, he
says. is much better than TO land
completely, to avoid being shot at.
MS he does stand a chance Of getting
away. while if on enemy territory he
is not very sure OF even a decent
burial.

Defends Sitting Bull.

In our issue of September 18th
we made mention of a communica
tion we had received from SUBJ
scriber at Cloquet, Minn., in
which, referring to the activities
of James l. Coffey, he likens Kim
to Sitting Bull, the noted Sioux
chief, but as the communication
was not signed, only as "A
Reader'', we ::did not publish it.
Last week another of our subscrib-
ers, Mr.. James Irving, full
blood Yankton Sioux and editor of
the Woodstock News, at Wood
stock, Minn., in a communication
to this Office, takes exception to
"A leaders," comparison of James
l. Coffey to the late Sioux chief,
and requests that for the benefit of
"A Reader" We publish his letter,
which we print below:
Woodstock, Minn.,
Sept. Is, 1919.
Editor, ToMAHAwK, I
White Earth, MINI.
Dear Sir:
obserued in last weeks TOMA-
HAWK where "A Reader" likens
James I. Coffey to Sitting Bull.
For the benefit of "A Reader
wish to say this much about Sitting
Bull. Sitting Bull did not cause
the government any more trouble
than the government caused him,
he was merely opposed to being a
slave and confined under the res
ervation SYSTEM.
If Sitting Bull was alive today
he would be 4 member of the
Society of American Indians, and
also the Indian Rights Association,
and would be lighting for the
rights of his people. He fought
and died bravely for a principle.
Did be not shake his finger in the
face of a President and said, "I'll
never be reservation Indian" "
He was a friend of his people be-
cause he was one of them. Now
days only politicians who need
jobs are appointed and paid to be
friends of the Indian.
Sitting Bull needs no apologies.

A Good Red, White and Blue Flower
Bed at Small Expense

Three entirely new asters are offered
,,r the first time this season.
Heart Of France received its name
q, account Of two OF its strongest
characteristics. The flower is n pure
,rllliant rcd. All other red asters have
son,ber shades of blue or too much
FOLLOW in the color pigments. Heart
Of France opens red, the color deepens
with age, retaining its remarkable
ieauty to the end. The petals appear
srikingly changeable, showing a glow
ouite unique, with soft warm vel
yety texture. The flower seemed SO
snblematic of the heroic French peo-
rle that Heart Of France was con-
,dered the most approx ,riate name.
The flowers are large and full. with
no trace Of hollow centre. The plants
are OF the branching type and very
robust habit. The stems are long and
strong The plants begin to bloom
quite early in the season and open
fully with the mid-season varieties,
retaining their brilliancy and lustre
for an unusually long period.
Sivery Rose is a new. robust, long
stemmed, large Towering variety. Each
petal is a combination of deep lilac

NEW EvERBEARING RED
RASPBERRY.

A new everbearing red raspberry, a
Seeding from Cuthbert, is offered this
season. 1t has proved hardy where the
thermometer reaches 80 to 40 degrees
below zero, so it can be grown any
where. Each berry is large and de-
licious and the plants bear prolificslly
until cut down by frost in the autumn.
On account Of the phenomenal yield
and the huge proportions to which the
plants grow the introducers say that
only a few plants are needed for an
ordinary family. \ bed Of a dozen
plants will furnish an ample supply OF
trust all season long.
The Erskine Park. as the new berry
is called, Is far superior to st. Regis
or Rannere, which have hitherto been
the sly udard--t verbeariug ,yarietiss,
The berries of these varieties grow
smaller as the season advances and
the last fruit is so small as to be
hardly worth picking. The Erskine
Park. on the other hand, produces
large, fine favored fruit up to the very
last picking.
