GONERSE VALATION SUP FIVE MLONS DOUGLAS, Wyo,, Aug. 16.—Dur- ing the past year the assessed valua- tion of property in Converse county | 6 |surprise party for a while. | We followed the plan of scaring Heinie to death,” said Eddie Ricken- |backer, all-American ace and erstwhile auto racer, } “This was an organized strafing party, and was extra on our bill along the front. We did it volun- tadily, and for the fun of it. It wasn’t exactly work. “We organized the strafing party into two groups. One started out early, and got a high altitude by flying back and forth twenty minutes or more before the second group/ started. The first group was the strafing party. “Then the second group went up,! and crossed the lines at a low alti-; The Germans were evidently| tude. surprised. Their astonishment turhed into amazement when the low-flying group of Americans began doing stunts right over the German guns, loops, sideslips, and all safe stunts. “It was as big an insult as the German mind could stand, and they turned loose with vengeance. Black puffs were all around us, but we kept on with motors at full speed, diving, looping, turning and making them still madder. “Meantime, the group, which went up first, crossed the lines at a high altitude with motors off, gliding} along. They were unnoticed on ac- count of the racket of the motors of the stunt group, and succeeded in getting positions above half a dozen! balloons before Heinie was the wiser. “Then they dived, each man straight for a balloon, shooting as he came, the guns being loaded with in- cendiaries. “Out of every sausage there came an observer hanging on a parachute and the machines on the ground fran- tically hauled in the boche sausages. The whole flock of American planes sped across the lins, having cleaned the sector of German balloons with one general dive. “Heinie won’t forget that little It wasn’t as dangerous as it sounded, for ‘his guns are set for high altitude. As a genral rule the Germian archies are more to scare than to bring you down, It is the shots from an op- ponent that are most dangerous. “We had become used to having them pass around us, and a gimper usually isn’t scared by. puffs around piequing on him. : | “One day he came down with seven {bullet holes in his fuselage, and an- other thru his boot. Another nicked this rudder control#. When he landed, jhe jumped out of his plane, and hop- ped around like a chicken to see what damage was done to the plane, think- ing nothing about himself. “Just then an alert came in. He jumped in his plane in a jiffy and shouted: ‘Let me at ’em, I'll gét ’em, the sons of boches.’ Then we was off in a minute and drove the"Germang home, but not until he had some more German bullets planted in his machine. “Tt takes courage of a special sort to stand the archies and the bullets. Captain Norman Hall, who is now a prisoner in Germany, was an ideal aviator in this respect. As the boys sa, ‘he wasn’t scared of hell.’ “He was an idealist thru and thru and was wounded seriously one time flying at the British front. He con- eluded that he owed his Wfe to the| fact that the bullet was not incen- diary. “After that he refused to use in- cendiary bullets. He said he never wanted to land a boche if he could not do it fairly. One of his favorite games was dojng stunts to make the archies shoot at him. He maintained it wasted anmmunition, since it takes thousands of shots to hit a plane.” — DO IT AT HOME IF NOT NEEDED WITH THE ARMY | Miss Ritza Freeman, while appeal- ing to the patriotism of her hearers jat a meeting in Iowa recently, con- demned the women who say they are anxious to go across and do big | things, but refuse to make the little) {sacrifices at home. t | Miss Freeman said, “In 1917 we! saved only 7 per cent of our food.| | When the food administration posters | COOMA TTIIISIIIIISIISS, has increased over five million dol-|him or the explosions, but the ma-|saying ‘Save wheat, sugar, fats and/| lars according to the records of the|chine gun bullets from a German meats” first came out, people thot county assessor, Jesse E.

Ist 5 Miss Martha Petersdorf, superin- tendent of the Wyoming State hos- pital on East Second street, has re- signed her position prior to entering the Red Cross service either in the United States or abroad. The resig- mation will take effect October 1 when Miss Petersdorf will leave for Riverton to visit her mother, and she will then be subject to call for active war service. Miss Petersdorf came to Casper less than a year ago to take the place ‘of Miss Ella MeKensie, the former superintendent. Miss Petersdorf has filled her position in a most satisfac- tory and efficient manner and it is with regret that those connected with the hospital, either as nurses, doctors, | or patinets, see her departure. She has, however, been a registered Refi | Cross nurse for some time and when the urgent call for trained hospital aids came, Miss Petersdoff was will- ing to go. Her successor in Casper has not been selected as yet.
