RAYNHAM PLANE FELL
IN HOP OFF ATTEMPT

St. Johns, N. F., July 17.-Failure
again attended the efforts Of Freder
P. Raynham today, when he at
tempted to hop of" for a trans-At-
lantic fight in his Martynside plane.
The machine was completely
wrecked when it crashed to the ground
after rising to a height Of only thirty
feet.
In tOday's disastrous attempt to
'rhOp," the rebuilt machine made a
good run of 800 yards along the
ground and then few about fifty yards
at a height of about thirty feet. 1t
then plunged to the earth and its nose
was buried deep in the turf. The
wreck was ascribed by airmen to be
inability Of the machine to lift the
weight Of the 375 gallons Of gasoline
which she carried for ocean trip.
Both Raynham and his navigator
leaped from the plane just as it
struck the ground. They said they
felt It sag from the heavy weight be-
fere Il began to fall and realized it
could not ascend.
Doubt was expressed as to whether
Raynham would make q third attempt
to get away because Of the heavy
cost Of the enterprise to the owners
of the plane.

WAR SAVINGS STAMP
CAMPAIGN STILL ON
Plans to Raise $25, ,OOO, 900 in Thrift
and War Savings Stamps by
January First

Harry Adams, chairman of Stevens
county for the War Savings Stamp
Campaign, is anxious that people be-
gin to buy their share of the stamps
at once.
The inauguration of campaign to
sell at least ,$25, 100000 worth of
Thrift and War Savings Stamps to
the people of the Ninth Federal Re-
serve District between now and
January 1st, 1920, was announced by
Theodore Wold, Governor of the
Ninth District Federal Reserve Bank.
Last year the people of this dis
trict bought s53,0OO,00O worth of
stamps. So far in 1919, the sales
have amounted to S2,528,0O0. This
is considered very poor showing in
view of the fact that the Govern
ment needs the money and is de-
sum from this source of revenue
With the Liberty Loans out of the
way, those in charge of the War
Savings work believe sales can be
rapidly increased and are working
out plans for a comprehensive cam
paign to bring about this result.
In order to properly conduct the
business of the Government, the
Treasury Department will need to
borrow considerable sums of money
for some time to come. Every cent
realized from the sale of Thrift and
War Savings Stamps decreases the
amount that it will be necessary to
get from the sale of Certificates of
Indebtedness and in other ways.
''There will be no district, county,
nor city allotments of War Savings
Stamps" said Mr. Void. "Neverthe
less the Government expects each
community and individual to do his
full share in spending wisely, saving
carefully and investing in Govern
ment Savings Stamps. The campaign
so far this year has been conducted
on the basis of thrift education first
and sales second. Neither the Trea-
sury Department nor the Ninth Dis
trict organization have changed their
minds in regard to the vital impor-
tance of teaching our people the
value of thrift and the plan to con-
tinue our efforts to induce the form
ing of thrift habits, but Treasury
officials insist, and rightly so, that
the proof of progress in the thrift
educational campaign is the sale of
War Savings Stamps. For this rea-
son the War Savings Organization all
over the United States is going to
make an effort TO increase sales, and
since the Ninth District is not in the
habit of tagging behind the rest of
the country, we are now devising
ways and means to urge people to
save, and in addition, to invest their
savings in Government Savings
Stamps"
The Ninth District War Savings
Organization consists of the Central

The English Lutheran Sunday
school will hold a picnic at Starbuck
next Sunday. They will go by a spe-

leave Starbuck between $3.50 and
700 o'clock in, the evening. All
families of Morris and vicinity who
desire to avail themselves Of this
opportunity to enjoy day at the

same horses with the same ridders
as on the first day. In the motorcycle
race A. Fenton of Hancock, won first
place and H. w. Erickson of Han
cock got second. A tug-of-war was
held between Morris and Hancock
people and the Hancock. bunch were
the winners.
Dancing was held both nights at
the big pavilion and the armory, and
both places were crowded to capa-
city, altho the pavilion seemed to be
the favorite with the crowd and it
was almost impossible to get in or
out.
The weather for the two days was
ideal and this had considerable to do
with making the affair success.

constitution of the United States; to
maintain law and order; to foster and
perpetuate 100 per cent American
ism; to preserve the memories and
incidents of our association in the
great war; to inculate a sense of in
dividual obligation to the commun-
ity, state and nation; to combat the
autocracy both of the classes and the
masses; to make right the master Of
might; to promote peace and good
will on earth; to safesguard and
transmit to pOsterity the principles
of justice, freedom and democracy;
to consecrate and sanctify our COM
radeship by our devotion to mutual
helpfulness.
It is expected that later a number
of other posts will be organized in
the county, in fact there should be
post in every village of the county.
With clear cut Americanism as the
watchword of the new order it can
easily be a power for great good in
the country, as it will have the larg
est membership of any similar society
if all those who are eligible enroll
in the organization.

LEGION STANDS FOR
AMERICAN PRINCIPLES
Soldiers and Sailors of World War
Organize American Legion
Post

Thru the efforts of some of the
returned soldiers of Stevens county
a post of the American Legion has
been formed at Morris. At the pres
ent time this is a county post, but
later on it it likely that posts will be
organized in the other towns and the
original post will then belong en-
tirely to Morris and vicinity.
The preliminary meeting was held
on Memorial Day in the Armory at
Norris and at that time Geo. Welcher
was elected as chairman to start the
necessary steps to organization. He
sent for the charter and this arrived
last week, and the names of the
charter members have been placed
thereon. The post will be known as
walter Trip Post, No. 29''. This
name was chosen because Walter
Tripp was the first Stevens county
boy to give his life for his country.
Another meeting was held at the
pavilion in Morris last Friday morn
ing and about 100 returned soldiers
and sailors we're present DR.. Fitz-
gerald was elected chairman, Geo.
Welcher secretary and Ed. Reilly
treasurer. Mr.. Welcher gave a de-
tailed explanation of what the post
means, how the movement was start
ed, and the constitution. The Off
GERS were made an executive COM
mittee to secure members in each
town and it is likely that a member
ship campaign will be started soon.
The organization shall be absolute
ly nOn-political, and shall not be
used for the dissemination of partf-
san principles, or for the promotion
of the candidacy of any persons seek
ing public Office or preferment
The organization will be for the
men who were in service in the
world war what the G.. A. r. is for
the veterans of the Civil War and
the Spanish-American War Veterans
for the soldiers and sailors and
marines of 1898-99. The first meeting
to organize the Legion was held
March Is last in Paris and was at
! tended by 1000 American soldiers,
the fundamental principles of the Or
der being laid down at that time.
This was followed by a caucus at st.
Louis May 8, 9 and 10, when tenn
porary state and national organiza-
tions were formed. The work will
culminate in a national convention
to be held in Minneapolis November
II next, on the first anniversary of
the armistice which brought about
the end of the great conflict.
Anyone who has served in the
United States forces from April 6,
1917, to. November II, 1918, both
dates inclusive, is eligible to member
ship; also anyone who served with
any of the allied forces, providing
they we're citizens of the United
States at the time of their enlistment
or of their application for member
ship in the Legion. However, no per-
son shall be eligible for membership
who was separated from the service
under terms amounting to dishon-
Orable discharge or who refused to
perform military duty on the grounds
of conscientious or political objec-
tiOns.
The purpose or the organization is
set forth in the preamble as adopted
by the national caucus at st. Louis,
which is as follows:
For God and country we associate
ourselves together for the following
purposes: To uphold and defend the
