DICK WAGNER OF SAN ANTONIO
GIVES ATASCOSA COUNTY
PEOPLE A THKILL.
Staff Sprclsl to the Express.
JOt'nnANTlIN, Tex., Oct. 9.—R. E.
"Dick" Wagner, aviator from San Antonio,
narrowly missed death here this afternoon
when engine trouble developed In his bi-
plane wlille he was soaring si a height of
over 1,500 feet In an exhibition flight un-
der the auspices of the Atascosa County
Fair Association.
|i y.f— finally effected a landing wlth-
our^frfim:; Injury to himself, but the up-
per and lower left wines of his machine
Were torn away hy it telephone pole as lie
descended. Examination Inter showed that
five of the eight cylinders of Ids gas en-
gine had "gone dead" while he was in the
air. Ills machine was thus almost pow-
erless. and the plucky aviator was forced
to make n descent nt a terrific rate of
. apeed, although he was skillful enough to
maintain a spiral and keep the plane right
side up.
The thousands of fair visitors assembled
on the schoolhonse plana were unaware of
the danger to which the hlrdman was ex-
posed and, while amazed at the swiftness
Of Ills descent, thought he was merely
staging some unusually daring trick of
(he flying game. The flyer came hurtling
through the air and hud almost reached
the ground and safety when the left side
of bis plane struck a pole by the side
of the field where hp whs forced to alight,
The double-wing was torn away with a
crash and the machine crumpled to the
ground. Wagner himself escaped with
only a bad shaking-tip and a few minor
bruises.
Wagner's second flight, the second of
the fair, was only one of the many fea-
tures of today's program. The day was
•fflclally "Farmers' uud Children's Day"

and there were hosts of these present, but
people from the neighboring towns cHlue In
large mimbes and the attendance broke
all records for both this year and lust year.
'I he morning opened wllh a parade of
school children of the county, In which
more than 1,000 youngsters marched over,
the city's streets. They were accompanied
by their teachers.
Chief Interest centered In the announce-
ment of winners In the very numerous ex-
hibit centers which embraced nearly all
products of the farm uud home. A note-
worthy feature of the list was the fact
thut members of the Boys' Canning Club
aud tiirls' Canning Club overwhelmingly
demonstrated the value of their training.
Work lu both of these features of farm
life 1h quite new In this county, and vet
the youngsters outclassed thetr ciders In
practically every event In which thev were
entered.
The results of the contests In this re-
spect are considered unusually significant
lu view of the fact thut the County Com
mlsslouera at a meeting next Monday are
to decide whether the work- ut leust that
of the canning club Is to he continued.
It Is believed locally that Miss LUlu L.
I'earee, lu charge of this work lu Atascosa
County during the year, will he retained
on the strength of the progress shown by
her proteges. They won four first prize's
and three second prizes In the woman's
exhibit hall and the exhibits of one of
them, Miss 1,11a I'rlce of Poteet, will he
sent to the State Fair ut Dallas for con-
test there for the scholarship at the State
Industrial School.
Due to tile resignation this summer of
the former county demonstration agent,
work in the boys corn club lagged coll
slderably and had to be rebuilt almost en
tirely by Oeorge p. McLellaud, recently
mimed for this position. Despite this
handicap the young clubmen got away
with every prize for which they contested
and two of them will be sent to the Waco
Cotton Palace this fall. They are Curry
Jenkins of Verdi and Hay Roberts of
Jourdanton.
Representative F. H. Burmelster of the
Eighteenth Legislative District, who spoke
here tills ufteruoon, had high praise for
the exhibit of the San Antonio Manufac-
turers' Club, declaring It was really the
best thing on the grounds. He urged the
farmers to Insist 011 San Antonio made
products In every ease except where they
could get something made still closer to
their homes, "Keep your money Just as
dose as you possibly enn to the place
where you live." he urged.
Mr. Burmelster gave It us his opinion
that cotton would go to )H cents a pound
before the first of the year because he
beiieved agents of the (jcrmau government
were busy In this country nuylug up
the cotton in order to keep Kngland from
getting It. He predicted the success of
the alleged plan out suld In the meantime
n heavy rise In the price of the staple
would occur, lie severely criticised the
State penitentiary system because among
other things the convicts were forced to
work only nine hours a day while the
"honest farmers of the land" had to work
sixteen hours a day "to keep the wolf
from the door."
T. II. y.aluleison addressed the people
briefly, urging upon them greater co-
operation In their efforts t(S de»elop what
Is practically i vltgln soil. He thought
the population of the county was now-
over 150,000. lie hud warm praise for the
efforts of the San Antonio manufacturers
to establish closer iclutlons with the peo-
ple of this and other counties of their
trade territory.
Other speakers of the afternoon were
(Jeorge p. McLellaud, County Farm Dem-
onstration Agent, who held the attention
of a large group while he discussed soli
conservation, and N. A. lOpps of Son An-
tonio, who demonstrated recent Inven-
tions for protection of land from gulley
washing. ,
Suriduy is to be Sun Antonio Day nnd
a special train will be run from the Alamo
City to handle the large crowd of people
which It Is anticipated will eoine here. No
small number of Sun Antoninus have al
ready visited the fair, the list today In-
cluding F. Lange and 1,. W. Lackey and
their 'ainllies, who mude the trip by au-
tomobile.
Every Hon Antonian who seea the fnir
Is proud of the atteutlon which the ex
hlbits of manufactured products from his
city Is attracting. P. A. Rochs has been
here all week for the Morrison Coffee Com-
pany, and has made many friends for his
firm. Free coffee roasted In San AiHimlo
is given away at the company's boo|t>
in the exhibit hall.
There is nothing, one might say, par-
ticularly Inspiring in u cuii of axle grease
and yet many farmers are surprised ou
vlsltliig the fair to leurn that the Dixie
Oil and Refining Company, a Sun Anto-
nio firm, offered so many petroleum pro-
ducts. A number of these were displayed
The (lebhardt ('hill Powder Company,
through their representative, Charles
Ileleck, are drawing their share of al
tentlon to their display of canned goodn
seasoned with chili and other peppers.
Swung in the» middle of the aisle In
the exhibit hall Is 1 buggy top made by
the Auto aud Carriage Top Company of
Man Antonio. Beneath was a packet of
folders telling prices aifl giving sped
fleutlons of "new top for the old buggy"
and automobile. Many of these leaflets
were carried away by Interested visitors.
Visitors at the hall of agricultural ex-
hibits had marked comment above other
things for the remarkable collection of
dry farmliiR products displayed by I, F.
Thomas. Mr. Thomas has a farm Just
south of Janrdanton on which he has
lived barely a year, and yet he is ul-
ready well on nip way toward a well-
rounded plan of diversified farming.
Till* rear hexhibited thirty-two differ-
ent farm and truck products grown on
his place of forty acres. The list Includes
corn of several varieties, Russian sun-
flowers, Irish potatoes, watermelons, canta-
loupes, feterita, mtlo maize, sweet potatoes,
tomatoes, beans, cotton, cuue and Sudan
grass. Severul of these, especially of the
truck products are from the second crop
of the season. His exhibit won him five
first prizes In addition to several minor
one*.
Not ouly does Mr. Thomas bellevo In
diversified farming as regards crops but
he also practices the same principle with
refereuco to live stock uud with these aiso
he won prizes at this year's fair. He has
a registered Jersey bull, a number of
graded cow's, plenty .of chickens and pigs,
uud he specializes in dairy products.
Probably the most remarkable exhibit on
the whole woman'* floor of the exhibit hall
was the linen tahiecloth offered In the
curio contest by Mrs. George M. Martin of
Jourdanton. The cloth was hand-woven In
liti by one of Mrs. Martin's ancestors,
uud bears the date of Its creation woven
Into the fabric. The central figure, how-
ever. Is the depletion of Abraham offering
uo his son Isaac as told in the famous
Biblical story, 'llhe figures are quite large
and cleurly seen ami follow closelv even
to the funeral pyre the details offered In
the original narrative. It was this cloth,
logether with an old-time pot hook and a
pair of shears, which won for Mrs. Martin
first prize In (he curio contest.

TRIP ARRANGED FOR PURPOSE OF
TELLING FRENCH PROLETARIAT
WHAT ENGLAND IS DOING.
LONDON, Sept. 20.—(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) -In order to re-
move doubts among the French working
people regarding the part England Is play-
ing lu the war, the British Socialists have
by the consent of the French government
arranged a series of lecture tuurs cover-
ing the great industrial cities of France
anil lasting for the period of two months.
The sneakers selected are Adolphe Smith,
a well known writer and speaker who
served as a volunteer with the French
during the siege of Paris ill 1H7U, and
'John Hodge, M, P. Mr. Smith speaks
French like a nutlve, but Mr. Hodge's
speeches will have to be translated.
In a trip to Franco to arrange these
meetings, the two "organizers of frater-
nity" were received by President Poln-
care, Minister of Munitions Thomas nr.il
other ministers aud deputies. These offi-
cials gave not only full consent to the
meetings, but aided arrangements, aa the
object Is lo combat the propaganda of the
small minority of British peace party So-
cialists, who have given the French work-
men an erroneous idea of the attitude of
British labor toward the war.
Adolphe Smith will give u general ac-
count of the British effort and Mr. Hodge
will tell what the British working classes
are doing. The first meeting will be held
in Paris attended by the worklnionen and
Socialists. The iccond will be before dep-
uties. French government officials, uni-
versity professors and representatives of
the press nt the Ministry of Public Works.
Lyons. Bordcuu, Marseilles and the manu-
facturing cities will be covered by the
speakers. .

IN DARDANELLES
GALES WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT
FOR LAND AND SEA FORCES
TO CO-OPERATE.
GOLD IS ID ON TURKS
LONDON, Sept. 20 (Correspondence of
the Associated l'ress).—1The hope that the
forcing of the Dardanelles might be ac-
complished by the middle of October, when
the weather ond the tides are likely to be-
come more formidable, has been often ills
cussed wherever British officers meet. Not
that there will be any diminution of effort
after that time, but there is a full reallsu
t'on thut conditions will then become far
less favorable.
An observer who has been In the Mar-
mora vicinity for thirty years, making
close meteorological records, while admit
ting that the winter Is not so agreeable
for military achievements, describes what
sort of weather may be expected and gives
these general observations. In the West-
minster Uanette:
"To those who have relatives or friends
at the Dardanelles, let them send good
strong warm stockings for the men be-
sides the usual waistcoats and mufflers;
and as for creature comforts, sweets, choc-
olate, aud tobacco, especially cigarettes. It
is the Turks who will suffer from the
cold; they cau not stand It long, aud
being fed generally tnalnlv on bread, they
have no stamina to meet cold weather.
Most of their troops come from warm
climes."
November, according to this scientist,
has a cold snap or two generally in the
last week, but many people call it (In-
most glorious month of the year. The bat-
tle of Lule Bourgas was fought three years
ago on the Pith, (Ith, and 7th of'that
month. In a storm of raging rain and sleet,
succeeded by severul nights of hnrd frost,
which caused the death of many n
wounded and neglected soldier. Another
year there was a heavy snowstorm 011
November 10-17; yet after such setbacks
the weather usually recovers and grows
warmer.
No reul winter need be looked for. he
says, till the middle of January, When
there ure heavy snows which have been
known lo lli' six weeks, and with them
come the gales which may make the sup-
ply from I lie sea a difficult task. He
points out thut of late years 110 great cold
lias visited the Marmora though In IfllW
the Golden Horn from the Inner bridge of
Constantinople tvas frown so people walk-
ed about on the Ice, and floes were nbout
for several weeks, this being 1111 excep-
tional season. Winter is said to have fin-
ished always by the middle of Anrll.
That this naturalist has confined his
observations to lalid anil not to sea con-
ditions may niBke him inore optimistic
ubout the climate which the British seem
to regard us likely to Increase their dif-
ficulties materially. One writer with the
expedition litis commented on the general
expectation that there will be very arduous
work for the destroyers, trawlers and
picket bouts, as well as for the larger 1
ships when the gales begin to come up out i
of the southwest, nnd tiint undoubtedly Is
perfectly understood by all In charge of
the operations.
On the other hand, the defendjpra at
the Straits are making the most of the
weather probubilltles to encourage their
supporters. For exumple, the Berlin Lo
kaluuzelger reports that the Turks are ex-
pecting another furious attack "before the
equinoctial storms arrive to prevent ubs"
lutely the continuance of the campaign till
spring." The same paper says tha equinoc-
tial storms I11 this region, particularly lu
the Suros Buy, are very severe, adillug
"the allies appreciate that even one south
storm which Is Inevitable, will be suf
flclent to prevent the landing of supplies
and ammunition, the transfer of wounded
to the ships and the currying (if water to
the troops, for only the most powerful
ships by the use of their power can with-
stuud such a storm as every winter brings
lri Xaros Bay, while the use of lighters and
small boats is out of the question for
days or weeks at a time."

Dnffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
Is a dependable liquid food tonic containing the life giving elements of the
choicest grains, thoroughly malted, and so refined and distilled as to render it
absolutely pure.
