strong, R. z. Bray, r.. J. Johns, R. 3.
Russell and w. A.. Pritchard, labor
leaders of Winnipeg, will stand their
trial before q jury at the next session
Of the assize court in October on a
joint charge of seditious conspiracy.
The preliminary hearing of the evil
dence for the prosecution was con-
cluded August 10, after some 118 wit
nesses had been heard and over 1850
exhibits, mostly letters , phamplets
and books, had been produced in
court.
The last session disclosed some very
sensational evidence. Reading from
notes, alleged by the crown to have
been prepared for a speech by Rev.
VIM. Ivens, counsel showed that the
accused had favored adirect action;11a
revolution either bloody or bloodless.'
Mr.. Ivens in his notes had also stated,
constitutional government is no long
er possible"
1t was further brought out in the
evidence that the people in Winnipeg
took the matter SO seriously that over
$50, 900, 900 worth of riot insurance
vas taken out during the strike

LAKE CHANNELS
BELNCCLEARED
Government Carrying OF
Plan to Remove Menaces
to Navigation.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 21.-United
States engineers in charge Of govern
ment work and navigation in several
districts of the Great Lakes are pur-
suing q program for the elimination
of menaces to navigation which will
mean, it is declared, the removal Of
all wrecks that lie in channels or har-
bors and interfere with the move
men Of vessels.
To date, it is stated. the United
States and Canadian governments and
s%alvaging contractors have this season
removed. by raising, blasting or tow
ing away, fifteen submerged or par
TALLY exposed vessels. BY removing
these wrecks the partially blocked
channels were cleared, reducing the
hazards of navigation, eliminating the
necessity of posting special markers
and giving passage room badly need
ed at many points until the govern
ment car complete it's program OF
deepening and widening channels and
harbors.
Among the wrecks raised and sal
vaged this year were those of, the
steel tug General, sunk in St. Mary's
river, and the coal carrier Vulcan
sunk in Portage lake at Houghton
Mich.
The wreck of the steamer, c. w
Moore, was reflected at the North
Branch channel, Chicago, and the hui
of the steamer Desmond was removed
from South Chicago harbor. Thu
old. steamer, George H. Van Week
sunk across the upper entrance t.
Ecorse channel, Ecorse, was raised
and moved. In many instances thu
hulls of the salvaged boats had a val
ue, it is stated, because Of increased
demand for carriers due to war ant
postwar needs, equal to their origina
cost.

FRASER THINKS
STANDING ARMY
WASTEFUL PLAN
Land Force at
minimum Expense Should
Be Military Policy.

s$WBtsmarck, N. D., Aug. 21.-"The
only military policy which the national
gVard should advocate is q policy
Which will give the country what is
Eneeded in the way of an adequate
force with a minimum OF ex-
pense."
+ This is the opinion of General G..
Angus Fraser, commander in chief OF
the North Dakota national guard, in
which he has been active for 81 years.
Genera Fraser is a member Of the
national executive committee of the
national guard association, to which
post he was elected at ST. Louis a few
weeks ago when the national guard
association held it's annual meeting
1.-THE national policy in the past"
General Fraser, has been
TO rely in time of war upon a profess
setonal volunteer army, augmented by
Y%Xolunteer troops. the volunteers com
Ing in the main from the national
guard. The objections to such a policy
have been pointed out many times
They may be summed up as follows:
The cost Of maintenance of the regular
aArtny in time Of peace, by reason OF
sst0e fact that it must, compete with
SstHe labor market for its enlisted per-
s%sssonnel, is out of all proportion to what
Ssis produced.
& This may seem an unkind criti-
Gism. especially to that class of officers
Of the regular army who feel it a duty
to defend every policy and act Of the
war department. 1t is, however, a
jAst criticism and which is con-
CURED in by most regular officers who
have given the subject of military

STATE NOT TO BUY
EQUITY PLANT, SAYS
OLIVER S. MORRIS

Bismarck. N. D., Aug. Elm re-
Spouse to a persistent rumor. Secre-
tary Oliver S. Morris of the industrial
commission has assured the press that
that body has nc intention Of buying
he Equity Cooperative Packing
company plant at Fargo: hat under
the act creating the industrial COM
mission the board could not take over
the plant if it desired to, and that no
such desire, to his knowledge, has
been expressed.
The Equity Packing company sever
al months 6 increased its capital
from $1,000, 900 to $4,000, OO0. Some
were unkind enough t o intimate at
the time that the concern might be
intending to unload it's plant on the
state at the increased valuation. Sec
rotary Morris appears quite positive
that nothing of this kind is in pros
pect.
Aside from the operation of Its
small experimental mill at Drake,
which al reopened under state man
agement yesterday, it now appears
improbable that the state will engage
in the handling of grain and the .nan-
ufacture Of flour on any extensive
scale before the fall of 1921.

certain purposes to be definitely men,

MI. Kositzky contends that, while
the state owns the Bank of North Da-
kota, the funds Of that bank are not
public moneys which can be trans
at will to the state treasury for
the defraying. of governmental ex-
penses. He insists that II the state

ANT|-TUBERCUL0S|S SOCIETY PLANS OPEN
 AIR SCHOOLS HERE

The great world war is over, but the lessons it taught can never die. One of these lessons in the necessity for physical fitness. Scientists today be- lieve that prevention of disease is much better than cure and that child hood is the time to begin establishing physical fitness.
 One of the aids to prevention of disease and building up physical en- durance in children, is the open air school. Arizona is keeping step in the ranks of progress by the estab- lishment of three open air schools in the last few months. The most re- cent of these was opened at Clifton on March the third The School is un- der the direction of the School Nurse Miss Harriot Hamilton. It provides accommodation for twelve children. who are either ansemic or predis- posed to tuberculosis. No child who has actually contracted the disease is admitted. The children have camp chairs out of doors. Here they have their lessons with regularly accred- ited teachcer to instruct them. At ten o'clock they are served with fresh milk. They then resume study until 12:30 when simple, nourshing dinner is served them. The children take turns setting the table and washing the dishes. The milk and dinner are provided by the School Board. After dinner they return to their chairs and sleej until 2:30 when their tempera- lures are taken and they are dismiss ed.
 When these children entered the school, nearly all of them showed some elevation of temperature, and all were thin and anaemic. The nurse now reports that all tempera- lures are approaching normal and that the gain in weight has averaged from 3 to 8 pounds in two weeks.
 The scholars are all Mexican chill dren. At first they did not approve of American food, but now they ''leave nothing but the dishes", and we are sure that twelve litle stom- achs are once day, at least, filled with good nourishing food.
 Tucson has two openair classes ac- comodating 80 children each. The methods are practically the same as at Clifton, except that no provision has yet been made for feeding the children.
 Youth is the moment of opportunity for building up a physical endurance that shall resist disease, tuberculosis especially, and life in the open for

He is the Potash Man

Dr. Frederick G. Cottrell, chief met allurgist of the Bureau of Mines, 10 years ago was struggling assistant professor of chemistry in the Univer- sity of California.
