YANK AIRMAN IN ARMY
OF POLES RETURNS HOME
Capt. Rorison, Believed Dead, Ar
rives in United States With
High Honors.

WILMINGTON, N c.. September 20.
Capt. Harmon Rorison, an American
ace, who joined the Ilosciuszko squad
ron with the Polish army shortly att
er his discharge from the American
expeditionary forces, and who was
reported as having been shot down
behind the bolshevik lines, returned
to this city yesterday after a career
in Poland that added luster to the
fame he had already achieved IN
France.
The "virtuti militari." the highest
awarded to Capt. Rorison for bravery
in action.
Capt. Rorison said he believed hos
Utilities between the Poles and the boil
sheviki forces would soon cease. be-
cause in Washington it now looks like
some sort of a peace arrangement will
be made within the next month. He
says, however. that he does not be-
lieve a lasting peace will be estab-
lished at this time, but that HOSTILE
ties will doubtless be suspended for
the winter a t least.
In describing the methods now en-
ployed in perpetuating the doctrines
of bolsh evism. Capt Rorison said they
were training bolsheviki from the
cradle to the grave. The bolsheVik
government takes charge of the
babies when they reach two years
of age and sends them 10 schools con-
trolled by the bolsheviki. and when
they grow old enough to learn, the
children are taught bolshevism, he
said.

undesirable character, that the land
lord intends to occupy the apartment
himself or that the building is to be
torn down. And even then the ten

a AQI Sc Ily WHICH, at tIlS pam
of the Kentucky Utilities Co., al
the intersection of Laurel street
and the L. 81 A. railway, burst
shortly after 2, o'clock Tuesday
morning. 1t wrecked the ma
chinery department of the plant,
and a portion of the wheel pass.
ing through the roof was hurled
to the home of Wallace B. Hun
ter. more than a quarter of a
mile to the west, where it pierced
the roof, shattered a bed, and in
Stantly killed Fannie Hunter, his
II year old daughter. 1t then
passed on thru the opposite side
of the house and imbedded itself
in the ground, a few feet from the
building.
The wheel, estimated to weigh
1000 pounds, plowed thru the
top of the roof, carrying away a
l0-inch steam pipe leading from
the boilers. This resulted in d
resounding escape of steam,
which drowned the crashing of
the top of the roof and filled the
engine room. The wheel flew to
pieces, large portion being found
lying along the L. & A. railway
one block distant. Night En-
gineer J. M. Sharp stated he had
Just oiled the engines and step
ped to the boiler room, when the
wheel let go. Charles Dalton
was sleeping on table at the
other end of the plant. Both
were uninjured.
Chief Engineer Orville H. Hill
stated he left the plant shortly
after 9 o'clock Monday night and
that the engine was running APP
parentiy in perfect order. He
gave it as his opinion that the
only thing that could have caus-
: ed the wheel to burst was the
possible sticking of d governor.
The engine was used to drive a
generator of about 250-horse
power and was about 10 feet in
diameter, with 14-inch width at
the outside.
The machine room was imme-
diately filled with Kissing steam
and the escape of Engineer
Sharp was apparently very close.
The wheel in going thru the roof,
after tearing away the steam
pipe, carried away about II feet
of the roof entirely across the
building.
The engines, of which there are
three in the engine room, were
badly damaged. Manager Fawkes
phOned for parts and put big
force of men to work. He hopes
to have some lights tonight but
no lights and power were posi-
bic Tuesday.
At the Hunter home, there was
a weird scene, the true state of
affairs not being realized for some
time. The Hunter family had
been awakened by the noise of
the explosion or tearing away of
the timbers at the power plant,
apparently and some were en-
route to the station to render aid
to anyone needing it. when it was
found the real tragedy connected
with the accident had transpired
within their own home.

This is the year when a man who
hasn't a garden will be short OF veg

OF emphasis was put on home gardens
as means OF providing food for our
people so that other foods could be
sent across to the allies in Europe.
This year even more emphasis is be-
ing put on the growing OF gardens
because the production OF food stuffs
on farms In this country will be cut
down very greatly.
There is an extreme shortage OF Ia
Dor on the farms. Thousands OF farms
are going to be idle this coming sea-
son and thousands OF others will have
some idle acres because OF the great
lack OF help to properly crop them.
The farmers are turning to the crops
which are the easiest 10 grow and
these crops are not the ones which
provide most OF our food. We are be-
ginning TO realize. or at least those
who have thought carefully about this
situation, that the man who produces
as much as possible for his own needs
will be the man who will feel the
shortage OF food stuffs the least
Grow a garden. Grow vegetables
for your table this summer. Grow
more to be canned for you table next
winter. II is a serious situation that
we are facing and those that look II
square in the face and do what they
