81 Americans
Killed i'm Army
Aviation Camps

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. Although
there have been fifty one fatalities at
army aviation training camps in this
country, the death record was described
tonight by Secretary Baker as remark
ioly low, Since last Juue, he pointed
out. student aviators have flown more
than one hundred thousand mites.
Records of the War Department show
that ten officers and twenty nine cadets
were klllcd on training flights. and
that twelve mon lost their lives in un-
authorized flights and in ground acci-
dents.
Secretary Baker authorized the fol
towing statement:
enquiries have come to tho War De
partment concerning the number o!
iatahtles among American aviators in
training IN this country. The records
OF the department. show that from the
beginning OF training. in June. 1917. to
date the fatalities at military aviation
ucids III this country have been 81. viz.
10 officers and % cadets killed in train
my flights and II men killed in un-
authorized flights and ground acci-
dents.
'EISince thc training of aviators began
IN this country our student aviators
have flown considerably moro than ono
hundred thousand miles. Considering
the large number OF mon in training
end the number of miles flown the
fatalities have been remarkably low.
"Whilc it is regretted that tifty-onc
deaths have occurred. it should be
noted that many hundreds of hitherto
inexperienced men have been learning
20 fly. Their carly flights arc under
the guidance OF an instructor. and prio,
to these flights two or moro months arc
spent in preliminary ground work
There comes q time. however, when
every student aviator must take his
machine up alone, and every prccaution
has been taken to reduce the number OF
accidents and safeguard the aviator in
his solo flights.
Taking into account the ordinary
hazards of their occupation, the de
velopment OF a comparatively now arr
and the ratio of accidents in the every
day fields of endeavor. it is felt that the
fatality record among Americas stu
dent aviators will compare favorably
with those of other countries. and

BUY ANYTHING FROM A CARPET TACK TO FIFTY

One thing that has made Bismarck a popular
shopping center for the Slope is the fact that
one may buy here anything from carpet tack
or q package Of pins to a fifty-ton tractor and
be sure Of obtaining value received. Bismarck
is one Of the largest distributors Of tractors
and farm machinery in the northwest; it dis
tributes more automobiles and motor trucks
than any other city in North Dakota; it ranks
third in the sales of dry goods and notions, and
its wholesale groceries and fruit houses have
a larger territory than those Of any other job
bling center in North Dakota, covering fully q
third of this state, as well as sections of South
Dakota and Montana.
Buying in large quantities, taking the advan-
tage of jobbers' discounts, enjoying quick
turnover, and selling to trade which pays its
bills, Bismarck merchants in every line are in
a position to do business on close margin which
means better values to the consumers.

equipped to repair or build anything from .
