PARACHUTE JUMPER
WORLD WAR HERO
Capt. Joe LeBoeuf of Royal Fly
ing Corps Thrilled Fair Day
Crowds With Descent
from Airplane

Capt. Joe LeBoeuf, parachute jum-
tions at the Villas county fair, made
two thrilling drops from an airplane
at an altitude of one thousand feet
Thursday 1t was the first attraction
of it's kind ever secured by the fair
association and in Capt LeBoeuf
they had man whose skill and dar-
ing has seldom been equaled.
Capt. LeBoeuf won his commission
with the British Royal Flying Corps,
in which service he spent the four
years from 1915 to 1919 The para
chute he uses is one of his. town in
vention, called the Guardian Angel
parachute He perfected this device
in 1915 after which it was adopted
by the British air forces as their Off
cial parachute, all their airmen be-
ing equipped with it during the world
war It's inventor was made official
parachute tester for the R. F. C. To
those who saw his graceful descents
here it may be of interest to know
that with the completion of his Eagle
River engagement, Capt LeBoeuf has
made 3153 drops from airplanes at
various attitudes.
The war record of Capt. LeBoeuf as
British aviator on the western front,
is one filled with thrilling events.
Much of his flying was done in the
Armentiers sector where his plane
was shot down seven times. At one
time he was dropped and gassed at
once. AS a result of that fall he spent
eleven months in hospital, suffering
from the effects of a broken jaw, bro
ken ankles and fractured arm. His
experiences as. army aviator would
fill a book.
The plane he used here in his ex-
hibitions is a new Curtiss. piloted by
Lieut. Morrow L. Jonathan is the
mechanician. The trio flew from the
Milwaukee Airport to Eagle River
Tuesday afternoon in two hours and
fifty minutes, making one stop at
Green Bay.
1t was the second airplane to visit
this place. Lieut. Speer, who exhib-
tied here on July 4th, has the distinc-
ton of bringing the first plane to
Eagle River.

RHINEIANDER TEAM
WON THREE STRAIGHT
Won Easily from Eagle River on
Sunday and Both Fair Days
Bringing Local Baseball
Season to a Close

With the weak places in their line
up plugged and determined to play a
real game, Rhinelander met the locals
here Sunday afternoon in one Of the
finest games played this season, trim
ming us by the score OF to 5. With
Stony McGlynn, a veteran league UNI
pire officiating, things went off beau
tifulIy and it was a pleasure to
watch the game.
From the start it was snappy.
Eagle led off with run in the first,
holding the visitors blanked until
the third. Right there is where Rhine
lander won the game. They got three
hits and the locals made several
costly errors. The team batted around
and by he time three men were down
the paper city boys had five runs
chalked up on the score board. Bow
ker, who started on the mound for
Eagle, was relieved in that inning by
Paul. After that fatal third the game

one each in the fifth and sixth. Eagle
got two in the fifth and two more in
the seventh, which left the final
score to S.
With Hoffman, an Oshkosh pitcher
who could certainly throw, and Du-
ford. a shortstop about as speedy as
anything seen here, Rhinelander was
pretty well fortified and they played
great game. With the exception Of
the third inning, the locals were
right with them all the time, making
a game that was appreciated by the
largest crowd seen on the home lot
this summer. After the fiasco couple
of weeks ago when Rhinelander with
drew from the fields and forfeited the
game because they didn't like the
umpire's decision, Sundays game was
a treat. The teams were evenly match
ed, but the breaks came Rhinelander's
way. Here's the scorekeeper's version
of it:

COMMUNICATED

The enclosedh act is now a state
law and it is possible to establish a
kindergarten in any school district in
which the parents of twenty-five child
rem between the ages Of four ssrlA Xix
so desire.
That kindergarten instruction is
vital to the best development OF the
young child, all progressive students
of child welfare agree. The kinder
garten is the natural connection be-
tween the home and the school. 1t
develops the child by skillfully guild
ing his natural activities. 1t forms a
mental background for the study OF
reading, arithmetic, and other school
studies. 1t fosters right social atti-
tudes and tends to overcome unfav-
orable home conditions. | heartily
wish that every child in Wisconsin
could be given this well balanced
training before he attempts the more
formal school.
In some communities it would
doubtless be uneconomical to estab-
lish a full-time kindergarten, owing to
the small number of children which
would be enrolled. In such instances
half day sessions are most desirable.
A trained kindergarten teacher may
profitably be employed who is also
qualified to engage the other half day
in any one of a number of useful
school activities, such as physical edu-
cation, music, art, library work; or
special help work for backward
pupils.
If no room is available in the school
building, often an unused room in a
private house may be rented. This
frequently has advantages such as a
shady yard and a homelike atmo-
sphere which cannot be duplicated in
the school
l urge your cooperation in bring
ing the possibilities of this law before
the people of your community, II you
have not already established a kinder
garten, in the hope that we may ex-
tend to four and five year old child
rem, wherever possible, the kind OF
training which lays the foundation for
successful school accomplishment.

Thursdays Game.

Worse, and more of it. Rhinelander
trimmed us again, this time by the
score of 5 to 2 in a game that was
featured by some poor base-running
and tough luck on the part of the
locals
Starting out with Kirkpatrick on
the mound for Eagle, an unknown
quantity in the pitching line, Rhine
lander drew couple of passes and a
hit and ran in three scores. In the
second and third Kirk passed three
more and allowed two or three hits,
until he was relieved by Paul in the
fourth. After that things frightened up,
but it was too late. Rhinelander had
made its start and the best the home
team could do was one each in the
third and sixth, although they had
the bases loaded several times, but
ran up against old man jinx in base
running.
We have no alibi to offer Rhine
lander won the series fair and square.
1t took couple of outside batteries
for them to do it with, but that's their
business and after winning the four
games straight we have to concede
that they had it on us. Luck broke
against us in every game, but that's
baseball. One gratifying feature of the
last three games was the fact that
the two teams met and played without
squabbling, something that has sell
dom been done in the past.
Here's what the score book says:
