FRIENDLY CALL
Flyer 'DrOps In" On Us And
Gives Citizen a Ride
Over City

A Mr.. Connard, accompanied by his
wife, landed with big bi-plane at the
south edge of the city last Friday, from
a flight which was taking him to his
home at Spencer from Superior, where
he had been flying at the Tri-state fair.
The aviator made a couple of flights
over town, and on one Of them was
accompanied by Harry Baxter, of this
city. who says that he enjoyed it very
much They attained an altitude of
1900 feet and Harry says that the
Flambeau river Appeared like a ribbon
at that height.
Mr.. Baxter predicts that it will be
only short time before LadySmith will
have an established landing field for
airshipS He is much enthused over air
travel and would join with others in
the purchase Of an aerOplane. Like
many others. he prOphcsies that air
craft will become common in a few
years that most towns will have land
ing fields; and he says that travelling
by air isn't much more dangerous than
riding in an automobile. The most
difficult thing in learning to fly-or
rather in learning to alight-is judg-
ing distance.

whom the awards belonged, but they
exercised their best judgment.
Two speeches were on the program.
C. A. LamOureaux, Of Ashland, spoke
principally on the deep waterway prof

ships from any part of the world to
visit our Great Lakes ports. This
proved to be popular subject with his
audience and they evidenced their APP

ter. c. H. Werden, also of Ashland,
and candidate for the Republican nom
inatiOn for state senator from this dis

One of the principal features of the
days program was the ball games be-
tween Bruce and Ladysmith, and be-
tween Island Lake and Blue Hills.
These games attracted big crowd to
the ball park on the old fair grounds.
Several hundred autos were parked on
the grounds and the number of people
at the games is placed at more than
1000
Between the two games the interval
