sums up the heavy toll taken by a tor
nado, similar to that famous Regina
storm that swept through the district

! The tornado struck Grassy Lake, a
small town on the Medicine Hat-Leth-
bridge line of the c. P. R., about 7 p.

out two lumber yards, wrecking
stores, blowing a whole freight train
off the track and completely demol-

In all directions the buildings were

RECREATION NOW

JOY is danger"
DR.. Cameron "a speaking before
the Bureau of Pedology of the Insti-
tute, discussing the Effect of Play IN
Mental Development and Education"
"The fear that the love Of play will
interfere with the love of work and SO
undermine character, is groundless,"
he said. play developes organic vi
talty, nervous energy and skill and
interests specific attention and enthu-
siasm together.
Work is less effective. 1t lacks en-
thusiasm and develops only in a neg

ern psychology teaches that joy is
power, that right recreation is not
merely wholesome but developmental.
Modern education, stimulated by
recent profound social changes, is eX-
periencing a period of restlessnes,
discomfort and experimentation. Sew
eral new types of school are being
tried; n is the play school in which
the teachers interest is centered in
the children and their activities and
no merely in subjects of study. An
other new type is the vacation school
which recognizes that the child's edu-
cation is going on every day.

MILITIA OFFICERS
FAVOR PLAN FOR
SECURING PLANES"

Officers of the North Dakota Ma.
tional Guard and others interested in
army and navy affairs, highly com
mend the plan of the Aero Club of
America to furnish aeroplanes, sea-
planes and dirigioles for the United
States army and navy. 1t is generally
known that the United States is very
weak in this arm of the service and
has been slow to see the value of the
aeroplane in warfare,
The U. S. army and navy have. to-
gether, less than 20 aeroplanes avail.
able. Only half a dozen Of the IL
oensed aviators of the United States
have made flights of more than so
miles, and none know even the rlldi.
ments Of military aer5nautical re-
Quirements. Our army, navy, national
guard and naval militia have had no
experience in handling aircraft or hp-
Grating with them.
II England, with 1900 aeroplanes
and aviators and the output of 5000
men, cannot supply sufficient aero
planes for it's forces, what could Tn
ole Sam, who has less than a score Of
aeroplanes, do in case Of immediate
need?
To provide an aeronautical reserve,
the governors Of the Aero Club Of
America have started a public aero
nautical subscription, similar to the
French and German subscriptions Of
1928. These netted S12,22,969 and
$,SOS,626, respectively. and were used
to train ayiators and to procure aero.
planes. AS the New York Sun says,
editorially, Surely we in America,
with our greater resources, can do
even better"
Both the war and navy depart
ments, realizing the necessity of form
ing an aeronauticali reserve composed
OF Volunteers, are planning for the
eventual organization Of 10 aviation
squadrons for the National Guard and

Butler a RecIuse.
Butler. 1t appears, had lived alone
on the farm since he first came to
North Dakota in 1882. He was un.
married and his only company was
the transient hired help which he EN-.
ployed to assist him to work the farm
during the summer months.
Taken to Jamestown.
In 1906 he began to show signs on
mental arrangement. He became il
the habit Of riding around the coun-
try at night on HORSEBACK and alarm
ing the nelghboring farmers. His mi
serliness also grew more noticeable
and he was finally committed to the
asylum by Judge Hassell.
Up to the present time no cause TO-
his insanity had been discovered.

% squadrons for the naval militia OF
the states.
We enclose herewith a bulletin Civ
ing the details of these plans and
telling of the substantial progress
made in the movement started by the
Aero Club of America to develop the
aviation s%quadrons for the National
Guard and Naval Militia.
The navy, while anxious to provide
all the aeroplanes necessary to form
aviation corps for the Naval Militia,
is handicapped through its limited ap-
preparations, and has asked the COM
handing officers to cooperate with
the Aero Club Of America In raising a
fund by public subscription, and in
getting suitable men to volunteer
their services for these corps. The
navy is willing to train these men at
its W a~eronautical center.
The army, having less than one
third the resources of the navy, can
not afford to offer aeroplanes to the
National Guard at this time, therefore
the immediate needs must be met
with volunteer subscriptions, as has
been done in Germany, France and
Italy.
Tentative plans have been laid for
starting a subscription fund in this
state, as has already been started in
a number Of the eastern states.
The movement is backed by some
of the country's most wealthy citi-
Zens, including Vincent Astor, Rod
man Wanamaker, August Belmont,
Charles J. Glidden and Cornelius Van
derbilt.

was working for him; was OF the
opinion that someone vas always

He spent most Of his time drawing
pictures. Surley and disagreeable
when requested to do anything by 9th

by six feet of earth and were immedi-
ately beneath a hole cut in the foo,
of the house.
Five of the skeletons are apparent,
ly those of adults. The sixth is small

FRENCH BOOTY GREAT.
Germans Abandoned Big Guns at st.
Vast.

London, June I1.-Added import
ance was attached to the capture by
the French of Neuvelle St. Vast,
north of Arras, when the French war
office tonight published the list of
booty taken from the vanquished Ger
mans. Besides three big guns of the
"77" type. and Is machine guns, there
fell into the French hands three
bomb throwers, thousands of hand
grenades, 1000 rifles, and a quantity
or rifle ammunition and shells, which,
with the other equipment and sup
plies, indicates that the retreat of the
Germans when the final drive came,
was precipitous. + -
Progress has been made to the east
of the labyrinth by the French. This,
taken with fresh advances within this
strongly fortified maze of defenses,
gives rise to the belief that the strong
hold itself must shortly fall before
the French attacks.
Hundreds of German dead were left
on the field when the French cut the
German line at several points on a
front of over a mile near the Tout
vent farm, south of Hebuterne, the
French succeeding in penetrating ov-
er half a mile on this front The gains
made here have been held successfully
against the German counter attacks
according to the French report.
Concerning the fighting in Cham-
payne near Beausejour. the Berlin and
Paris reports disagree. Paris states
that the French hold all their newly
gained trenches, despite the German
counter attacks, while the German
statement tells of French assauits u
regain their lost positions, an o.

boro, Texas, and General Chairman
w. B. Sharp of Commerce, Texas.
Messrs. Corrigan and Sharp departed
yesterday for Tyler, where they will

The lodge formed here Thursday
and the one to be organized at Tyler
take the places of those suspended

ficers of the 'B. of l.. F.. and which
suspension was upheld by the con-
vention at Cleveland on June 8.
1t is understood that excepting SIX
members of the old Pine Bluff lodge
and four members of the Tyler
ledge. all old members of the lodges
are eligible to membership in the
two new branches.
The suspension of the charters OF
the two locals grew out of the con-
troversy with the Cotton Belt over
the discharge of Conductor Tillman
and was due to the refusal OF the
locals to expel certain nembers
against whom charges had been pre-
ferred with the national officers.

It is relief to find the papers now
cmpha sizing the friendly tone of the
note and pointing out that it does not
necessarily mean war.

but that, on the contrary. it will sup.

The former secretary, giving out
his formal statement, supplemented
it with the following. anecdote:
