Chest Clinics Here and

WISCONSIN ANTl-TUBERcULosIs
ASSOCIATION VISITS WON BY
CHRISTMAS SEAL DRIVE

A warning against playing the So
called ostrich game if one has any
reason to suspect one may have tuber-
culosis is issued by the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association CLINIC
physicians who will hold free chest
clinics in Phelps September Is and in
Eagle River September 10 and 20
Clinic hours are from $50 a. m. to
6 ID. m. Children under 16 must be ac1
companied by a parent or some other
older person
The policy of refusing to face the
truth and of hiding ones face from
facts in the hope that they may not
be true is a dangerous one in tuber-
culosis, for so much depends upon
early discovery, clinic physicians
point out. If patient has tuberculosis
delay in diagnosis and proper treat
ment can only lessen the chances OF
recovery, while if he has not tubercul-
osis, clinic examination can only af
firm this happy fact. tuberculosis i:
urable disease, but the chances of
cure is greatest when the disease is
in it's early stages.
To discover the. disease in these
stages is one of the main purposes of
the free chest clinic, which is in real
ity discovery linic. Such cases,
course, cannot be found unless the
public cooperates, and in order that
the best possible cooperation may be
secured, the most obvious of the dan
ger signals are pointed out fatigue
lack of pep, loss of appetite and
weight, indigestion, afternoon fever
and vague pains in the chest. Persons
who have had other chest diseases
pneumonia, pleurisy, or bronchitis, are
also urged to attend the clinic.

The 9th annual county fair OF Was
opened eli Tuesday and was devoted
bv the management and exhibitors III
getting things in readiness for the
OPENING of the rates to the public Wed
nesday morning.
Wednesday was as nice a fair lay
as any one could wish for and by noon
Secretary Adams reported that :ho
gate receipts had exceeded tllo.e Of
any ether first half day. The crowd
was aua0e up of people FROM all over
the county Conoyer, Pie .ps, State
Line, Washington, Lincoln, Cleveland
Pennington and Sayner being especia,
ly we'll represented and with a better
attendance than usual from the towns
on the west side of the county.
The livestock exhibit is the largest
ever shown with marked increase ir
the number of sheep and Gait pens
Something over fifty head of Guern
seys, Holsteins and native and grade
are there, a large percentage being
registered in their respective blood
lines. For the first time our favorite
in the cattle line, the milking short
horn type are on exhibit from the
John Drager farm.
In the sheep department of IL pens
there are some fine specimens OF aget
rams and ewes and lambs The in
creased number of exhibitors owe
former years is an indication that vi
las county farmers are more and moro
beginning to realize the profit tina
comes from mutton and wool crop
The most striking increase noticed
is in the swine department. In tn
early days of the fair no hogs were in
evidence and for the past year or two
one or two pens would be seen, but
this year there are exhibits of Poland
China, Duroc Jersey, Berkshire and
Chester White, the leading hog strains
of every agricultural section and it
shows that from now on hogs are go
ing to be the important factor in sue
cessful farming that they are in the
older farming localities.
The poultry pens like those of past
years, form an interesting displa!
with exhibits showing from every
prominent breed.
The greatest surprise to many il
found in the agricultural building
Any one judging, merely from the
slow and backward season, and no
taking account of the crop growth
would not expect to see much of in
terest in the grass, grain and vege
table exhibits. However, there is
great deal there to surprise one. Will
the exception OF. corn, the usual dis
plays of grains and vegetables are
very good, though not as numerous a
hey would be in a better year. Shea
grains and grass, are exceptionally
good.
The potato display is not as large al
generally seen, and to us, after seeing
the state potato show last year, not VI
% last year in quality, nevertheless
are remarkable considering the kline
of growing weather they were subjec
ed to and talks with farmers showed
them to be expecting a normal yield
The ladies deDartments of fint

is much larger than ever and will un
doubtedly have to be given more space
next year.

incest exhibits at the fair and includ
about everything known under tn

TRIUMPH OF FIRST FLIGHT
AROUND THE WORLD TO
AMERICAN AlRMEN
BY "a. f. Harrison

Weary of body but with the pride
of conquest in their hearts, America S
intrepid air forces are again on United
States soil and completing their tour
of the world by air. Like a page from
Jules Verne or the Arabian Nights,
their story is one of adventure unequal
lee in history. 1t remained for the
American Army, in keeping with its
traditions, to accomplish this remark
able feat.
Six Army officers, Lieut. e n t S
Smith, Wade, Nelson and Harding,
and Sergeants Ogden and Murner
formed the squadron which has brok-
en- all records for long distance flying.
They have travelled almost $4,000
miles, visiting places where white man
had seldom set foot and the airplane
was unknown.
Another Flying Record to
U. S. Airmen
Starting at Santa Monica, near Los
Angeles, California, they journeyed
north through Alaska and Siberia,
south through Japan and China and
west through India and Turkey. Cross
ing Europe with stops at Vienna, Paris
London and Brough, they jumped
across the Atlantic to. Iceland and
Greenland thence to Canada and land
ed on American soil at Mitchell Field,
Long Island The last leg of their
journey will take them back to the
starting point at Santa Monica. The
elapsed time was less than five
months while the actual flying time
represented the greatest speed at
which man has ever travelled for sus-
tanned periods.
Major Martin, commanding the
squadron when it left Santa Monica,
was forced to abandon the flight when
his plane was dashed against a noun
tain in Alaska and he and his obser-
yer narrowly escaped death. They
were missing for days but was finally
rescued and he returned to his wife,
who had given him up for lost.
New Dangers to Face in
Every Land
Constantly facing unknown dan
gers the filters never faltered. From
sandstorms in India to the biting cold
of the Arctic the airmen experienced
hardship and privation almost beyond
belief On one occasion they were
forced to fly through mountain defiles
so narrow that the wings of their
planes actually scraped the rocky
sides. One false move spelled certain
death.
Lieut. Howell Smith, who COM
manded the squadron after Major Mar
tins accident, flew from Asia across
Europe and the Atlantic Ocean suffer
ing from a broken rib. No amount of
persuasion would induce him to aban-
don the flight.
The successful completion of this
globe-encircling flight goes down in
history as the most daring exploit of
modern times, and again finds Ameri-
can Airmen first in a great achieve
ment.

SELDOVIA MAN PLUNGES OVER CLIFF TO BEACH
 RUNNING FROM BLAST

Plunging through the air from a high cliff at Homer, a man by the name of Newton, fell to the beach, breaking his neck and dying in- stantly, according to a special dis patch to the Alaskan last night. The death was purely accidental as Newton was running away from 2 blasting charge he had just set off in coal seam in the face of a cliff, when evidently he took a false step and was hurled to the rocky beach below.
 For some years past, 1t is stated Newton has been making a living selling coal to the adjacent popula- tion. It was his custom to drill a hole into the large seams of bitumi- nous coal. visible in the bluff, and with charge of powder, blow out a number of tons and gather it up in sacks for sale. The people in the immediate vicinity relied on this source for their fuel supply during the winter months-Anchorage Al askan.
