/. 724 MINUTES OF FLYING TIME
TOE DETROIT. +

Detroit, Jan. An observation De
Haviland airplane reached Detroit
this afternoon from Ellington field,
Houston. Texas, making the 1850
mile trip in 724 minutes Of flying time
and the last lap from Indianapolis at
the rate of 122 miles and hour, under
adverse weather conditions.
The machine was one of three which
left Ellington field on "Gulf to De-
troit and return" mapmaking and OBJ
servation trip, December 21.
It was piloted by Captain L. J. Ro-
binson, with Lieutenant A. A. Adams
as observer.
Captain Robinson made the flight
under the direction of the technical de-
partment of the engineering corps for
observation and to test the operation
Of the Liberty engine under severe
weather conditions.
Captain Robinson stated on his ar
rival here that the flights from st.
Louis to Indianapolis and from Indian
apolis to Detroit were made through
heavy weather and at continued low
temperatures that it had hitherto been
held could not be contended with.
Todays flight was made with tenn
peratures ranging from zero to 10 be-
low, but no engine or oil trouble was
experienced, although no special en-
CINE equipment had been provided.

ING IS PROPOSED

A movement is on foot to have a
good roads convention at some conven-
lent point along the main line of the
Great Northern in the early spring,
and Secretary Graves of the Grand
Forks commercial club has taken the
matter up and is writing all the var
ious commercial clubs and kindred
organizations, besides many private
individuals to learn the most conven-
lent time and place to hold such
a meeting. Devils Lake has good
commercial club, and plenty accom-
modations to give such a gathering a
most pleasant. time, and we suggest
that if suck meeting is held that
it be held in Devils Lake. This is 60
ing to be a year Of road building in
North Dakota, as well as Minnesota,
and we believe that it would be well
to take this matter up early and get a
good start in the right direction.

ESCAPE
FROM JACKSON PRISON
-CONYICTS ESCAPE BY
s. TUNNEL WHICH TOOK
. 800. - MANY MONTHS TO DIG

Jackson, Mich; Jan, 14.-Twelve
,convicts escaped from prison here
through tunnel which they had
been months in making and which was
carried under the north wall. Seven
ty-five feet from the wall are the coal
bunkers in which the men worked.
Here they dug downward to a depth Of
twelve feet, then they drove their
tunnel northward, going under the
wall, and then digging upward, the
opening being just outside the mason
ry and timed so that it was opened
after dark. The earth, which totaled
tons, was secreted beneath the coal in
the bunkers, and was not discovered
until after the men were found to be
missing at the evening count.
A guard at a munitions plant across
the street from the prison covered
three Of the escaping convicts with his
revolver, effecting thei Rapture, but
the others scattered in various direc!
tions and at late hour had eluded 9

RESULTS OF
BARBERRY CAMPAIGN

The campaign for the control Of
stem rust of wheat through the eradi-
cation of the common barberry has
aroused a widespread and effective
sentiment against the shrub. This has
resulted in the actual removal Of the
following estimated percentages of
the plants located by a survey con-
Quoted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture: Northern Illi-
nois, 60 per cent; Wisconsin; 80 per
cent; Minnesota, 80 per cent; North
Dakota, 80 per cent; South Dakota,
so per cent; Nebraska, rs per cent;
and Iowa, rs per cent. The work has
been well begun in the states adjoin-
ing those named. Safety from stem
rust of wheat lies only in the complete
eradication Of the common barberry
plant, specialists of the department
say.

WOULD VEL
COME BOCHES
IN LEAGUE
FIRST REPUBLICAN SENATOR TO
BACK WILSON WOULD ADMIT
HUNS TO LEAGUE.

Washington, Jan. Immediate es-
tablishment of a league of nations,
with Germany as a member, was urg-
ed in the Senate today by Senator
McCumber of North Dakota, the first
Republican member of the Senate to
voice approval of President Wilson's
proposal for such an organization.
The first clause of a compact for
such a league, Senator McCumber
said, should declare "that each inde-
pendent nation of the world as it shall
exist at the time this compact shall be
executed, has the right to live and
work out it's own destiny free from
any imposing danger of any military
neighbor."
"With such a solemn compact of
nations, executed by all the great ma
tions of the world" said the North
Dakota senator, "the danger of any
great war would be pressed for into
the realm of responsibility. Does any,
body believe that if such a great in
ternational agreement had been in
existence prior to 1914, even Germany
with her autocratic and irresponsible
government would have dared break
her compacts?
II want this bond, and I want Ger
many's signature to this bond. She
has been the only country that has
threatened the peace of the whole
world for the last forty-five years and
to meet her threat every other nation
has had to keep itself armed to the
teeth and weighted to the verge Of
poverty to maintain mighty arma-
ments.
i "And as deeply as I hate kaiserism
and the abominable doctrines of mill
tary Germany, believe we should ex.
tend the hand of brotherhood and
friendship to democratic Germans
J when it's people have repudiated tht
stigmas on real German character
and have steered their country clea1
!; of the worse malady, Bolshevism."

MERCHANTS STUDY
farm PROBLEMS

Retail merchants by getting in close
touch with the farmer and studying
his problems can help themselves as
we'll as the farmer. This belief was
acted on by the Wisconsin Retail
Lumber Dealers Association ir re-
cent conference with Wisconsin agri-
cultural extension workers, as fea-
ture of which members of the associa-
tion heard talks and saw demonstra-
tions Of better farming methods. The
decision of the association to give in
formed service as well as sell lumber
to farmers is said to have been the
first united step ever taken in the di-
rection of bringing retailers aHd farm
|ers together.
