FOUR HUNDRED DAHLIAS
GROWING IN ONE GARDEN

Four hundred beautiful dahlia
plants, all abloom, growing in the
garden of John l.. Waddell a law
yer at Hardin, win for Big Horn
county the distinction of having the
largest bed of dahljas grown by an
amateur in Montana.
Twenty varieties are found in the
dahlia bed and included in the num-
Der are several that were prize win
ners at the New York dahlia show in
1916. Four plants of another va
riety grown by Mr.. Waddell took the
greatest number of prizes at the Cal
ifornia dahlia show in September this
year.
1t is the Burgle variety, which Mr..
Waddell finds better adapted to con-
ditions in Montana than are eastern
varieties. The classes found in his
garden are decoration, peony flower,
collarette, single, cactus and pom
pom.
Adjoining the dahlia bed is a bed
of gladolias with more than 200 bulbs
growing, making it one of the larg-
est beds of that flower grown in the
state in family flower garden.
Growing these flowers has proved
a profitable venture for the. lawyer
as he ships the blooms, receiving
good prices and sells the bulbs he
grows all over the country.

Colonel White, who is now "A

WORLDS BIGGEST FL WING GAM@P
is MANNED AFTER MONTANA IMAM

On May morning in 1911 a
young Montanan, Lieutenant G.. E.
M. Kelly, sacrificed his life on the
flying field near San Antonio, Texas,
where today the greatest aviation
1leld in the world, l--med Camp Kel-
~ In his memory, is being construct
ed, and where many thousands of
American army aviators will be
trained in fighting in the air during
the coming years.
Lieutenant Kelly was a nephew of
B. B. Kelly and E. w. Kelly of Great
Falls, and after coming to Montana
from England in 1896 and becoming
Montana citizen, he was engaged in
electrical work at the smelters at
Anaconda and at Great Falls. In
1903 he went to New York City,
where he enlisted in the coast artil-
lery In 1907 he was given COM
mission as second lieutenant in the
thirteenth infantry, and in 1910 en-
tered the aviation branch.
Lieutenant Kelly was the second
United States army officer to be
Killed while flying. Through a struc-
tural weakness of his airplane, when
ne made landing on the day of his
death, the tubes through which the
control wires of his airplane ran
were bent, throwing his engine wide
open. His plane shot ahead along
the ground at terrific rate, and was
headed directly for the tents of an
infantry regiment. Unable to check
his speed or elevate his biplane, he
was faced with the alternative of
hurting his machine into the tents
ahead, killing many soldiers, or
banking his plane suddenly and kill
ing himself. He chose the latter al
tentative.
Is Worthy Monument.
The huge aviation camp at San
Antonio is a fitting monument to this
young Montanan, whose life was sac
rificed in the dangerous work or de-
veloping and perfecting flying for
the army. Had he lived, his ability
would have given him high place
in the great struggle for human lib
erty that is being waged today, for
the promotions that would have come
to him since would have placed him

will be provided for more than 100000
flyers. These will be divided into
squadrons, each to consist of 154 en-
listed men and nineteen commissioned
officers. To each squadron there will
be assigned twelve aeroplanes. The
squadron has also 23 motor trucks,
"a trailers, one motor car, two repair
trucks and six motorcycles. Its
weapons consist of IL machine guns,
1874 rifles and 173 pistols.
The organization is differed by a
major, captain and two commits
stoned officers each for supply Sec
ton, engineering section and - aero
sections, making 10 in all.
The personnel also includes the fol-
lowing: Four master signal cleo
tricians and one sergeant major, one

Building Flying Machines.

-Four of the first class and five
ranked as sergeants belong to the
engineering section. The sectio IS
IN the squadron are the Headquarters
section, supply section, engineering
section and IL aero sections. The
disposition of the corporals is four
to the headquarters, eight to supply,
| three to engineering and is to the
aero section.
One of the interesting features of
this great training camp for army
flyers is the machine shop, where the
airplanes are not only repaired but
are being rapidly constructed. MANY
skilled mechanics are employed in
this work. These men are not only
capable of building machines, but
they are experts in flying as we'll
In way the arrangement of the
aero squadron is similar to that of
the racing teams that short time
ago were maintained by the leading
motor car manufacturers. Classed
in this way the team would consist of
II drivers each with it's particular
machine. In the aviation section the
aero squadron is the team" The
IL drivers and machines are repre-
oCllLeu NY Il commissioned officers.
Each section" of the aero squadron
has a machine and flyer. The mech
anicians and helpers of the various
auto race drivers have their counter
parts in the mechanics and men as
signed to each section.
Machine Shops on Field.
The machine shop of the flying
field corresponds to the automobile
factory and there the more elaborate
work is done.
The men of the squadrons are
housed in barracks built in orderly
military fashion. Each building is
numbered, but the building numbers
do not always tally with the squad
ron number.
An examining board meets regular
ly and examines applicants for COM
missions and applications are num-
erous. Flyers also come from the
ground schools which have been
opened at many places throughout
the United States. The ground
school nearest to San Antonio is that
at Austin. Aviation work has been
featured as a part of the summer
school courses at many of the lead
Ing universities, and this, too, aids in
getting men of education and train
ing for the aviation sections.

TOUCH OF REAL WINTER

Last Friday our open winter" quit
us cold, and very different conditions
commenced Immediately. "Old Win
ter right off the ice fields of the
north jumped right in and set men
and women at work at once to shovel
ing in coal and throwing in wood
into furnaces and stoves to keep
warm and even then it was a hard
thing to do. Saturday morning it
was Is below. zero and the cold kept
up throughout the day By night it
was intensely cold and Sunday morn
ing found the temperature down to
IA below. All through Sunday, it was
very cold with a sharp raw breeze
from the northwest. Monday morn
ing it was below and this morning
it was 9 below and snow and rising
temperature reported for tomorrow.
No one expected the cold spell and
were in way unprepared, and to
many it brought distress and suffer-
ing.
The weather prophets who phophe-
cled an open winter" have been driven
back out of sight and all of their guns
have been captured. The severe
winter" prophets will now have their
innings.

RED CROSS NOTES

The Red Cross has been called to
help the army and navy to such a
tremendous extent that it must have
thousands and thousands of members
and workers in order to do what is
really needed. Think Of the vast num-
Der of our U. S. soldiers going to
France continually, there to stay until
the work they are going TO accom-
plish has been finished, and it is up to
health, in sickness, when wounded or
when prisoners. Their need for our
help is great beyond all measure.
Hospital supplies and knitted goods
must be piled up and piled up for
these men, otherwise they will suffer
and die needlessly.
Finished articles, both in the surgi-
cal supply department and the knit
ting department, are continually leav-
ing the Wausau Red Cross headquar-
tiers. At the present time there is a
shortage of wooden boxes and paste
board cartons for the packing of the
finished articles, due to the frequent
shipping of these necessaries. Do
nations along this line will be glad
ly received.
The Red Cross rooms were CLOSED
| last Friday to give all the workers
an opportunity of attending the bene-
| fit performance given in our various
moving picture houses, the proceeds
of which were turned over to the Rec
Cross fund.
Mrs. P. M. Wilson recently donat
ed the sum of $312O to the Red Gross
fund. She earned the money this sum
mer taking orders for knitted sweat
ers, and the money was turned ovel
to the knitting department.
The Red Cross classes at the Higl
school are accomplishing great dea
of Red Cross work under the super
vision Of Mrs. M. M. Secor and Mis-
Alice Hanson, the latter a member o
the High school faculty.
The American Red Cross is making
arrangements for French and Belgian
infants wearing apparel.

surgical dressings was we'll attended
