DON’T FORGET THE AIRSHIPS

Two Will Be in Rensselaer All Day • Today, Saturday. Today* Rensselaer is to have two airplanes here from the Rantoul, 111., field which are to remain with us over night, and while here the fliers will perform various air stunts over our city, according to the letter receivea from officers of the field. The fliers will arrive here about 9 ~r 10 o’clock this morning and will remain here until tomorrow morning. No doubt there will be a large crowd in town today to see the aviators, as the novelty of airships has not yet worn off, especially in this section of the state, where they are seldom seen, and very few* of our people have ever witnessed *any of the various stunts that are possible to pull off with these aircraft when thousands of feet from terra Anna.
