PILOTS HAVE
AHARD Time
Make Trip of 100 Miles in 81

to Land on one
Wheel.
OUT OF GAS
Reached Ground Safely
With but two Gallons of
Gasoline.

/ Driving the Webster City plane
from CreSton to Webster City, dis
lance Of 100 miles, yesterday in 81
minutes, forced to make 4 pancake
landing because one wheel was gone
and with just two gallons of gas left in
the machine. was the experience yester-
day of Pilots Harold Near and A. F..
Davidson, of the Webster City Aero
company. The distance was made at
an average speed of mile and a half
per minute.
The plight in which the men found
themselves was not due to careleSsnesS
or recklessness They had been at
CrestOn flying and left yesterday morn
ing for home. Pilot Near was driving
Just as the plane got well up in the
air. one Of the landing wheels dropped
off 1t had been Pilot Near's intention
to stop enroute in Des Moines for gas
cline. But when the landing wheel
dropped off the plane, he decided to
chance his gas supply as far as Web
ster City. 1t is decidedly dangerous to
attempt landing on one wheel. 1t is
seldom effected without great damage
to the machine and frequent injury to
the occupants.
AS the men reached Kurtz field and
began circling to land, one of the
Kurtz boys ran out and seeing one
wheel gone, expected to witness a
smash-up. But Lieut.. Near circled
carefully, 'panaked" the machine and
made perfect landing on one wheel.
well, we are all here" he remarked
to Davidson as they got out of the car
and saw nothing was hurt. Yes re-
piled Davie, "all present and accounted
for but one Wheel
At Creston, during the days the boys
were there carrying passengers. they
had great deal of trouble. The
country is hilly and the air currents,
until one gets five hundred feet up, are
battling. Three times during their
stay there, they were forced to land
when attempting a flight, owing to
strong air currents, due to deep ra
vines, hills and valleys. After they got
the machine five hundred feet up they
were all right, but until they reached
that distance, the going was exceed
ingly bad.

PORTRAIT OF GEN. BAMBERG.
Artist p. P. Carter Receives Much
Praise for Portrait Work.

Colonel P. P. Carter, the Painter
of the Confederacy," has just COM
pIeted an oil painting of the late
General Francis M. Bamberg. When
completed the portrait was submitted
to many old friends and acquaint-
ances Of the general, all of whom
say that the painting bears most
remarkable resemblance to this old
Confederate soldier.
General Bamberg died several
years ago, and had never been seen
by the artist. The portrait was
painted from an old portait and a
description of the general. The work
is praised very highly by the family.
Col. Carter left Friday for his
home in Virginia.

every right thinking man in this au-

ry. Once a little boy was late at
school and told the teacher he was
kept at home by. sickness in the fam

the teacher. please, MISS it was

sayes it aint ketchin.' ***
Gas to our foreign relations, have
only this to say, which reminds me of
another story. Once there was an
automobile driver who ran over him
self. That sounds strange, but it is
true. He drew up to a curb and ask
ed lady if she would run across the
street and buy a package of cigarettes
for him. But the lady didn't have
time, so he ran over himself. ***
"And now in conclusion (business
of looking at watch) I would simply
say this. Take your conscience with
you into the polling place next Tues
day, ,and if you will do so you will vote
for that upright citizen. that distin-

was once an old darky, who was be-

he was running along a rabbit got
