FOR AMERICA ALONE
PATRIOTS AERoPLANE WILL NOT

James F. Scott, Who Has Captured
Contract from Government, Be-
Iieves Air Craft Will RevoIu-
tionize Warfare.

Chicago.-James F. Scott, to whom
the government has awarded $4,000
contract for an aeroplane, says that
within five years the development of
flying apparatus will have gone so far
that aeroplane ships, carrying crews
of 20 to 80 men, will be making reg
ular flights of 1000 miles at clip.
He looks for progress to be made SIM
liar to that with the automobile.
which has reached the present state
of perfection within a decade.
Mr.. Scott is scenic artist As years
old. He has made at least dozen
working models, and the apparatus to
be built for the war department is to
consist of two main perfectly hori-
zontal planes, with several smaller in
termediary planes, the whole Weighing
1900 pounds.
the subject of aerial navigation, has
decided ideas as to how a pa
triotic Americans knowledge and
studies and investigations in any
line of scientific endeavor should be
used freely and unreservedly for the
use of his government-and for the
advantage of no other-and is firmly
convinced that the need for all naval
strength will be entirely done away
with when aerial navigation, by aero
planes, shall have been perfected. The
possibility of building a fleet of air
craft which can destroy the mightiest
leviathan of the sea by dropping explo-
sives he regards as sure in time not
only to revolutionize all warfare, but
absolutely to do away with it.
1.-The reason wrote the government
authorities that my invention would
be at their service for $4,000, unre-

Americans should devote their efforts
to the welfare of their government,
provided their lines of endeavor lie
along lines like mine, and that a

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which It May Be Identified
Before Using.

After q building has been painted
long enough for weather test, 1t Is
easy to tell IL the paint used was made
Of pure White Lead or not. But such
Selated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided way in which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me-
1allic lead, and. under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, it is
not genuine White Lead, or if it con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test of paint before using
1t, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the elbow
pipe" or any other test. To make it
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest blow-pipe and everything nee
essary for you to make the test, to-
gether with a valuable booklet on

CLIMATE IS IDEAL
GREAT WEALTH ACQUIRED IN
GROWING GRAIN.


wan, Canada, w. H. Ellwanger, who
was formerly a resident of Green
Mountain, Iowa, says: The climate
in summer is ideal for growing grain.
Long, clear days of sunshine, no bad
stornc. We never need to guard
against cyclones; 1 never saw a better
climate in my life. We made more
money during the season of 1906 than
any previous five years in central
Iowa-one of the best districts in the
state" But Mr.. Ellwanger was a resi-
dent of the town, and it might be more
interesting to read what farmer has
to say about Western Canada. From
hundreds of letters all filled with
words of praise, recounting success in
Western Canada there has been one
selected. 1t is as follows:
Paynton, Sask., Canada,
Dec. 10th, 1907.
To Whom This May Concern:
moved to this address February 3,
1907, from Montgomery, Iowa, and
took a homestead 35 miles north of
Paynton. 1t was cold when I moved
here but it did not stay cold long; it
broke up the 9Th of February, and was
not so cold after that but the spring
was late on account of the heavy snow
fall, but in spite of the late spring I
saw better grain than I ever saw in
the states, raised this year. I helped
man finish sowing oats the 18th of
July and they made fair oats. In a
good year oats will go 100 bushels to
the acre and wheat 25 to so; all root
crops do we'll here. / saw turnips weigh

EYEsIeHr WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema-saby's Head
q Mass Of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuticura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within FIVE days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then had her under our family doc
tors care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old I started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was different
girl. You could not see sign of a
sore and she was as fair as a new
born baby. She has not had sign of
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke,

true American patriot should further
this advance with all the earnestness

To emphasize his patriotic motives
Mr.. Scott said in the course of the in
terview: IF the representative of any
foreign power-England, France, Ger
many or other nation-came to me
and told me that G1,0O0,000 lay in
bank subject to my check, provided
would turn over to them even the dia-
grams of my aeroplane, I would refuse
such offer. No amount of money could
persuade me to sell my invention to a

Oklahoma Is Visited By Storms

DUGOUT IS NO PROTECTION
One Man Takes Refuge In a Storm Gel lar and a Horse Breaks Through and Kills Him-Property
 Loss Is Very Heavy.

Woodward Okla, May 11.-At least eight persons were killed and scores of others injured in the several tornadoes evening: The dead:
 MT. and Mrs. J. E. Hale. Little Robe.
 Two unknown persons, Arnett.
 pr. J. Howser Vic.
 Arthur Sbe Mutual.
 William Hand, Estelle.
 Mrs. Young, Selling.
 No list of the injured is obtainable at this time, as telephone communication is entirely cut off from the storm-swept area and the only other means of se- curing information is by stage.
 The nearest point to Woodward that the storm struck is at Mutual, five miles away The most distant Is Little Robe, in Ellis county which is fully 55 miles southwest of this place. The disaster seems to have consisted of succession of tornadoes, occurring between o'clock and 10 o'clock D. m. They appeared first in the western part of the devastated district and moving toward the east.
 The most serious results were in the vicinity of Arnett where fully 30 are be- lieved to have broken limbs. The only town to have been destroyed is Wei, a postoffice in the southern part of Wood ward county, where it is said there Is rot a house left standing. The report of four deaths at Arnett includes the two at Little Robe, and is confirmed by the news that four caskets have been sent overland from Gage to Arnett, Gage be- ing the nearest railroad point. Thrilling incidents are being related by all who have received any information from the storm center. Mir Hale of Little Robe was one of the most prominent cattlemen in that locality. Dr. Howser at Vici was taking refuge in dugout when he was Killed horse was lifted by the wind siad dashed through ehe top of the dug ont, burying the victim beneath the en- i tire roof of the dugout and the weight of the animals body.
 At Mutual 15 young persons had gath cred for Sunday evening social. The storm lifted the house completely off the floor on which they were seated, leaving the floor and the young people unharmed.
 As there is a family on every quarter section in the storm area, which is a mile wide and fully 50 miles long, definite figures on the number of victims are not obtainable as yet.

 When asked if Mrs. Guinness ever talked about her former husbands, Greening said:
 "She told me about Max Sorenson, her first husband. She said he was floor man. ager in Mandel Bros. store in Chicago, and that the firm promised her when her husband died that they would furnish a lawyer any time she needed him, because she was a widow and because her husband was their employe."
