DECOARH GIRL IN AEROPLANE.
Miss LOttie Miller Goes Up With
Aviator at Spencer Last Week.

Miss Lottie Miller, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. H. Miller, former
peCorahians, now residents of Spen-
Ger, Iowa, demonstrated the fact
that she has lots of grit, by going
up in an aeroQlane at Spencer on
Aug. 18th. The following from the
SPENCER News Herald will be read
with interest:
'We do not know what the boy
hood ambitions of Frank Knight
.Ir., late of the aviation service in the
L. S. army, may have been, but to
come back to the old home town in
an airplane, turn an Immelman,
loop a loop or two and pull a few
other stunts right over the heads OF
the folks at home, is, to our way of
thinking, an ambition which any
one would be justified in having and
which, if Frank Jr., had it was fully
realized last Thursday, when he
came literally flying home in an air
plane belonging to Miller Bros, of
Milford.
Franl; is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. w. Knight, of this city. During
the past two weeks he has been
making exhibition flights and taking
up passengers at various towns in
Minnesota, and on Tuesday, left for
Waverly. Iowa, where he will fly at
the fair. He will spend the next few
weeks making various Iowa fairs.
The plane he pilots is the Standard,
first purchased by Donaldson Bros,
and is the one in which E. L. c.
White made his first ascension here
a year ago last January.
In addition to flying home" as re-
lated, Mr.. knight took charming
young lady in the person of Miss Lot
tie Miller for spin Saturday even
ing and on Sunday the two went up
to Milford and took in the aerial
maneuvers there. Needless to say
both enjoyed the trip immensely.
Frank learned to fly after the ar
mistice was signed. About four
weeks ago he came flying home for
the first time, having been employed
to pilot the machine he now drives.
Sunday Frank and Thomas Duffield
both OF whom are ex-army aviators
were flying about Spencer and were
experimenting with parachute
They threw dummy from the plane
in the north part of the city but the
attached parachute failed to get
loose from the ship. The dummy fell
in the B. F. Felt yard on North
Main and a number of witnesses
were much concerned for a time, be-
lieving that one of the aviators had
fallen.

DECORAH's PLANT WIZARDS.
kr. Prestgaard and DIR. C. Hocg Get
Editorial Recognition From
Minnesota Paper.

Editor Levang, of Lanesboro, was
a DEBORAH visitor recently, and found
many points of interest here, which
he has written up in his paper, as
follows:
There are few people in Fillmore
county who have not at one time or
another visited DEBORAH, the idyllic
little city in Winneshiek county
Iowa. 1t has many attractions for
the automobile tourists-its wonder
full natural park with Sunday after
noon band concerts under the direc-
ton of that talented musician, Rev.
Carlo Sperati; its ice cave; its pleas
ing scenery, and it's excellent hotels.
But most people are unaware Of
the fact that DEBORAH possesses an
other attraction worth going miles
to see-especially for flower lovers
This attraction is the DEBORAH Gladi-
olus Gardens.
Recently the writer found out that
one of the owners of these gardens
happened to be an old time friend,
MIR. Kr. Prestgaard of the editorial
staff of DEBORAH Posten, probably the
most widely circulated newspaper in
the Norwegian language in this coun-
try. This, in connection with the
fact that the writer is also some
what of a gladioli enthuiast, brought
about visit to DEBORAH last Sun
day.
It's said that all work and no play
makes Jack dull boy. Sometimes
work that differs from the every day
routine, furnishes the play for busy
men. That's the case of Mr.. Prest-
gard. an editorial writer, and his
associate in the gladiolus gardens,
DR.. Hoeg, physician. Both have
hard, nerve-racking tasks, and they
are finding their play and recrea-
ton in the facinating work of de-
veloping new and more beautiful
varieties of one of the most popu-
lar of flowers, the gladioli.
There are few lovlier things on
earth than a well-kept flower gar
den. But imagine the loneliness of
an immense garden plot filled with
row on row of that most beautiful
of Towering plants-the gladoli, ex-
Guisite flowers in practically all the
colors of the rainbow, myriads of
them. Such spot is Mr.. Prestgaard's
experimental garden at DEBORAH
Here he and DR.. Hoeg find solace
for tired minds in the absorbing task
of developing stronger plants. larger
blooms, daintier and fore exquisite
color combinations of the gladioli
During the last few years they have
succeeded in originating quite a num-
Der of new things in gladioldom, a
distinct improvement on the older
strains. Whenever a new bulb is orr
ginated, a distinct name is given
same, and bulbs are being raised for
the market. From all over the Unit
ed States come orders for bulbs to
these Luther Burbanks of DEBORAH,
and in that way their play is being
turned into pecuniary benefit for
them. This fall these plant wizards
expect to originate some new var
ieties Of gladioli, and one of these
will be put on the market under the
name of well-known- young Lanes
boro lady"
