fore going into into British aviation
service
The lieutenant is now touring the
United States giving lectures and
from the funds thus raised, he hopes
to finance project of making an at
tempt to fly across the Atlantic ocean.
Two other aviators will join him in
this attempt and he estimates that it
will cost SIS, 900 for the complete equip
ment and expenses. The lieutenant
plans to equip his machine with five
motors, two of which will be required
to run the machine. All necessary
fuel for the trip is to be carried on
board the machine. The shortest dis
lance across the Atlantic, from land
to land is from New Foundland to
England, a distance Of 1900 miles.
From New York to England, the dis
lance is 300 miles. The attempt Of
course will be made from New Found
land and the Lieutenant hopes to make
the trip in forty hours. Two of the
motors will run four hours. when two

The.7lieutenant says that prior to
comingato Minot, North Dakota, was
the :onlyasta in the Union that he
had not visited, and naturally he was
curious to learn something of our
great commonwealth Of which he had
heard 50 much.
Lieut.. O'Brien is a prince of good
fellows. He is particularly modest
concerning the part which he took
in the war and he made host OF
friends here.

Attorney G.. B. Bach Returns
From New York

Attorney Carl B. Bach, who was ap-
pointed to commission with the Y.
M. C. A. overseas organization, has
returned from New York City, where
he went expecting to leave shortly
for France.
Owing to the general military con-
ditions in France, the Y M. G. A. will
not need to send any more represent
tatives to France and it was owing to
an error on the part of the organiza-
ton in this country, that Mr.. Bach
was not notified before leaving Minot.
Mr.. Bach enlisted for the work some
time before the arnistice was signed
and was anxious to get into the serv-
ice while hostilities were still in prog

A WRONG INTERPRETATION

Mr.. Gompers says that "the bill to
prohibit strikes on railroads is a meas
ure to reintroduce involuntary servi-
tude." Oh, no it isn't The bill ex-
pressly provides that it shall not be
construed to prevent any man from
quitting from any cause. The bill sim
ply makes il unlawful to conspire to
tie up the transportation of the coun-
try. Mr.. Gompers does not dare quote
the section Of the bill in full and then
assert that it would establish involun-
tary servitude.

MISS HUNT HAS RESIGNED
County Farm Bureau to Lose Home
Demonstration Agent.

Demonstration Agent.
| Miss Barbara Hunt, who has beer
the home demonstration agent con.
nected with the Bennington county
farm bureau during the past one and
one-half years, has resigned to be-
come the house director of the Blu2
Triangle Hospitality House conducted
by the Young Woman's Christian AS
ISOLATION in Burlington.
Miss Hunt will remain in Benning-
ton about two weeks before leaving
for Burlington. She has been assured
by Prof. Thomas Bradlee, of the Uni
versity of Vermont extension service,
that the vacancy caused by her resig-
nation will be filled at once. A cam
paign recently conducted raised suf-
fcient funds to carry on the work for
another year and the new home dem
onstration agent will find a well es-
tablished system awaiting her.
Miss Hunts departure will be gen.
timely regretted not only by the wo-
men members of the county bureau
but by every one with whom she has
come in contact. She has not only
proved exceptionally efficient in her
work but her pleasing personality has
made for her many close friendships
in Bennington and throughout the
county. The position to which she is
going is an advance from a financial
standpoint and it will also take her
back to the vicinity of her former
home and to her family. The people
Of this village and of other commune
ties in the county will experience a
loss through Miss Hunts res
gnation and she will have their best
wishes for success in the position to
which she is going.
