MOSTLY HOT AIR

When ever you hear an alleged
/. w. w. boasting of what he is go

don't take him seriously. The poor
fellow is only kidding himself. He
don't half mean what he says, and
nine times out of ten is only talking
for effect.

coming through Minneapolis on a
troop train. The train stopped in the
yards, and during the stay there one
of the brakemen ON switch engine
near by began a series of |. w. W..
spasms. The man did not cuss the
soldiers, but he was death on Capt
tal," and especially the railroad for
which he was working. The writer
became interested in the mans lin
go and strolled over to get match
and incidently give this young revo-
luton the "once over. Upon being
approached, the brakeman not only
came across with the required
match, but began to relate stories
of his own military experiences. He
had been a soldier in France. He
had fought for his country and his
countsy's flag and he was proud of
it. He forgot all about the |. WV,
and one could tell by the flash of
his eye that the man was proud OF
his service for the flag and OF the
uniform he once wore. That man
was at heart an American. He had
kidded himself into thinking that he
was of revolutionary nature. And
so it is with most of them. With
few exceptions, these so-called revo-
lutionary bombs are only making a
bluff. They are talking for effect.
At heart they are Americans and
no Russian or other foreign propa-
ganda can turn them. They will
make heap of noise, but the aver
age American working man is all
American. His revolutionary ten
dancies are mostly hot air. Under
the hide there is no better man in
the WORLD.

In spite of Townley's spectacular

once more repudiated his false doc

Firemen'S Band PleaSeS
Sank Centre People
Unique Organization Give Splendid
Concert in this City Friday
Morning-Praise Town.

Chief Charles Ringer and his band
of merry musicians, representing the
Minneapolis Fire Department, favor
ed the citizens of Sank Centre with
a very enjoyable concert Friday
morning of last week.
The organization had expected to
reach Sank Centre the afternoon pre-
vious. They had been in attendance
at the meeting Of the Minnesota
Firemen at Moorhead and were held
up on the return trip by bad roads.
They came over the Red Trail and
from all reports, the roads between
Sank Centre and Osakis, particularly
Osakis and West Union, were hor-
ribly bad. A couple of the boys az
rived in Ford runabout about eight
o'clock. An effort was made to have
the balance of the outfit route over
different direction. Word was re-
ceived that they would arrive in Sank
Centre at 10 p. m. Chief Richards
and one or two friends waited until
midnight and then retired. The
wandering. minstrels struggled into
town about two o'clock, tired, dirty
and not in the best of humor.
The band is an innovation in fire
department circles. They were or
ganized about year ago by Director
Movers. At that time only two of the
% members had ever had any ex-
perience with musical instruments.
The results accomplished were aston
ishing.
In his informal talk Friday morn
ing, Chief Ringer stated that he and
his men had heard great deal about
Sank Centre but he wished to assure
the people of this city that when they
arrived in Sank Centre few hours
before, the men were all agreed that
| it was the finest city in the world.
/ Sank Centre had the first oppor-
tunity of sizing up Mayor Ingram in
public function when he introduced
Mr.. Ringer. The mayor got away
| to good start and officiated like an
old timer. His friends have decided
/ that as manager of public functions
| he is a success.
When the fremen left the city,
Mayor Migrants car occupied by
Chiefs Ringer and Richards, John N.
McGibbon and Asa M. Wallace, with
the mayor at the wheel, escorted the
visitors around the Home School for
Girls, about the public buildings and
on their way as far as Melrose.
In connection with this visit it
might be interesting to know that
Chief Ringer was boyhood chum of
Gov. Lowden, recent candidate at the
republican convention for president.
The boys attended school together at
Sunrise, Mimi, and Mr.. Ringer re-
grets that his old friend was not
nominated.
Mr.. Ringer is generally recognized
as one of the most competent fire
fighters in the United States. He
has been a member of the Minnea-
polls department for over 80 years.
He was made chief ten years ago. He
has the utmost confidence Of his men
because he never asks them to under
go any hardship that he is not will
ing to endure himself.
The band is splendid advertisement
for Minneapolis and a distinct credit

SEIZE RAIS0N
WINE THAT HAS
40 ROD KICK
Raid Made on Farm of
Eugene Shaw of
Concord

Deputy Sheriff M. c. Garfield, ac-
companied by Deputy Sheriff Byron
Smith of Passumpsic and Federal ms
pector d. P. Thompson Of the United
States Department of Justice made o
raid on the home of Eugene Shaw of
Concord Wednesday morning, which
resulted in the discovery of sixteen
gallons of l'aisin wine, which accord
ing to the opinion of the officers
would kick forty rods" The goods
were seized and after samples had
been taken Of the beverage to deter
mine its alcoholic content, the wine
was destroyed and Shaw was brought
to st. Johnsbury and locked up in the
local Jail, until later in the day when
Inspector Thompson took him to the
Orleans county jail in Newport, to be
held for a future hearing before I'm
tied States Commissioner, Walter H..
Cleary in that city.
The raid on Shaw's home, which is
an old abandoned farm at the end of
the road in Concord was made follow
ing a tip received by the local aut-
horities that "moonshine" was being
carried on by Shaw. The officers ex--
pressed the belief that the wine had
at least a "a per cent kick to it. The
beverage had not been nroperly aged
when it was found, but the oldest of
the wine had such kick, the officers
said, that the raisns were actually
popping.

Almost all of Newport residents
have lame backs as the result of gaz-
ing skyward to watch the motions
of the Curtis Airplane which like a
huge bird has been hovering over the
city for days. Great excitement pre-
vailed every time the whirr Of the
engine was heard.
The landing field chosen was on
Pine Hill, on the farm now owned by
Hazen Pomeroy.
Hundreds OF interested curious
people have thronged the field daily,
and large number have taken ad-
vantage OF the opportunity for short
flights as trips were made at intervals
all day.
A. Lee Mckay Of North Hatley,
with his assistant and mechanic
George E. Roy OF Montreal have been
here for several days with Canadian

MI. Mckay was born ana brought
up in North Hatley and has been
the guest of his sister, Mrs. A. NJ.

Newport House during his stay in
our city.
Mr. Mckay is modest unassuming
young man is loud in his praises of
the courtesy shown him in Newport.
He was selected as an instructor in
the Royal Air Force and served 18
months, six months of which was
spent in Fort Worth, Texas The
type of machine which he is using
now has record OF 700 hours flying
without dash.

around Big and Little Seymour to

across Plunkett Pond and then nearly
direct back to the field Mr.. Rich
ardson has made map of the trip
and the location of the ponds which
will be also of interest.
The flights were about Is miles,
going from the field out over towards
Lindsay Beach, across the Lake and
over the hills back of the citv.
Mr.. Richardson made these pictures

than 70 miles an hour. After trying
