In the Harvest day meet of the
same year, Captain Rickenbacker and
the late Johnny Aitken raced neck and
neck to win the 100-mile contest that
featured the days program. 1t looked
as though Aiken would lose, when a

mount and he spun like top before
sliding off the course, with Aitken
laundering by. The accident happened
with two laps to go, and was one of
the most spectacular in the history of

operate the machinery of big event.
With his ability to remain good ma

also because of his intimate knowl-

lis track has ever had, with all the
fans pulling for him to make good In

PRAISES LEAGUE IN
MEMORIAL ADDRESS
PRESIDENT WILSON DECLARES
SECRET COUNCILS ARE PAST,
WITH PEOPLE IN SADDLE.
Expects to See the Day When the
Opponents Of the League of Nations
VIII Stand Ashamed at Their
Conduct.

Paris.--In the American cemetery at
Suresnes, near ParIs, on May 30, dur
ing the ceremony OF paying tribute to
the American dead on the occasion of
Memorial day, Presidnt Wilson made
his first reference to the league of ma
lions since the covenant was COM
pleted.
His words were delivered in the
presence of thousands of American
soldiers and many civilians, and the
official Representatives of the French
government, including Marshal Foch.
Numerous distinguished members of
allied officialdom, who had come to
pay tribute to the American dead, also
heard the presidents words.
Touching ON the reasons which had
brought the American troops across
seas, the president said they had come
to defeat the things for which the cen
trail powers stood-'the arrogant, self
ish domination which they intended to
establish; and they came, moreover,
to see to it that there never should
be war like this again"
1T is for us, particularly for us who
are civilized" the president continued,
ito use our proper weapons of counsel
and agreement to see to it that there
never is such war again. The nation
that should now fling out of this COM
mon concord of counsel would betray
the human race.
$50 it is our duty to take and main.
tain the safeguards which will see to
it that the mothers of America and the
mothers OF France and England and
Italy and Belgium and all other suffer
ing nations should never be called upon
for this sacrifice again. This can be
done, 1t must be done. And it will
be done.
"The thing that these men left us,
though they did not in their counsels
conceive it, is the great instrument
which we have just erected in the
league of nations. The league of ma
tions is the covenant of government
that these men shall not have died in
vain. look forward for the time
when every man who now puts his
counsel against the united service of
mankind under the league of nations
will be just as ashamed of it as if he
now regretted the union of the states"
The president declared that the day
of secret counsels was past, because
the people were in the saddle. The
private counsels of statesmen he add
ed, would no longer determine the deS-
tinites of nations.
Bareheaded, President Wilson spoke
for more than half an hour, most of the
time in an impassioned defense of the
league of nations and in appeal for it's
support.

FED HIMSELF TO THE HORSE
Unpleasant Few Minutes for Small
Boy Who TumbIed Down Chute
With the Hay.

One morning. when little Hal Perry
was doing chores in his fathers barn,
he met with an accident that placed
him in a peculiarly helpless position.
He had made his way to the left loft
to get down fodder for the stock. In
climbing over the hay he slipped and
fell, feet foremost, into one OF the
chutes. When he came to a stop his
bare feet extended Nto the manger
where Jim, the only bad-tempered
horse in the barn, was hungrily seiz-
ing mouthfuls Of the fodder.
The boy screamed for help, but no
one heard him, for the house was at
some distance, and his voice was
muffied. There was nothing that Of
fered hold the chute had been made
smooth in order that the hay might I
slide through easily. He tried to gain
a purchase by thrusting outward with
his elbows, so that he might lift his
feet, but 1t was of no use; lie could
not even kick. The horse, in pulling
away the fodder, nipped at his toes.
whoa Stop that !" yelled the boy!
But the horse naturally continued;
to eat his breakfast, and more than
once nipped-as if purposely-H aPs'
legs and toes.
After few minutes the farmer,
providentially entered the building and
heard his son sobbing and calling,
Father, come quick Jim is eating
me-"
Where are your" shouted the far
mer.
'In the chute"
Back, Jim !" roared the man; and
the horse obeyed.
Mr.. Perry hastily turned Jim loose
In the yard, and, seizing rope leaped
upstairs. Making a moose, he let it
down to the small boy, who slipped
II under his arms, and ceased to cry
as he felt himself being drawn safely
up.-fouth's Companion.

Because he has always been noted
