RADIO WILL ROB FOG OF DANGER

SAN FRANCISCO, April Fog will
soon be robbed of its dangers to Paci-
fc Coast Shipping by means of radio,
ii was announced by Lieutenant Com
mander Scott d. McCaughey, district
communication officer of the twelfth
naval district here. The opening of
the naval radio comp. stations on
the Pacific Coast is but a te" -0iS
off, he announced. The first will be
four stations at the entrance of San
Francisco bay, at Point Montana; Bird
Island near Point Bonita; Point Reyes
north of Point Reyes lighthouse, and
Farallon Islands.
The system was II of the most
valuable aids to navigation developed
by the allies during the war, and since
has been in successful operation along
the Atlantic Coast.
The method of operation is based on
determining the direction of radio
waves. The vessel, concealed in fog,
sends out radio signals. Each of the
four radio stations intercept these sig
nails, and by compass radio determines
from which direction they come. Each
station notifies the vessel the precise
direction it is from the station, and
these directions charted show by inter
section of the lines the vessels precise
location.
Due to shortage of enlisted person
mel, the opening of all stations cannot
be expected at present, it was an
nounced, but it is the intention to
open at the earliest possible date one
station, probably Bird Island, at the
northern entrance of the Golden Gate,
as soon as personnel can be trained.

WAY DAY
Ii

The announcement of the Alexander House Settlement that May
rs to be celebrated this year in more elaborate fashion than hereto
( is a matter Of cOngratulatOn. The May Day festival, of which
ne May Pole dance is a part, has had its origin in nearly all races,
from the religious celebrations in honor of the beginning of the grow
ing season. Particularly has this been true in those countries which
have cold weather in winter. Therefore it represents something of a
fundamental religious feeling in all of us.
In Serbia, Roumania and other Balkan countries the May Day
Istoms Of dancing, wearing flowers and carrying flowers to friends
still rehglOuSy adhered to. In England and Aneo~""- "~"HGustOm
post died out but is now being revived through the luK-uancing of
children. In Oden days there was always a public festival in all
ne towns OF England and Scotland on May |, or MAY Day as it
was called, at which some one was chosen to dress up with leaves and
flowers to impersonae Spring.
The advent OF spring in Hawaii is of course less apparent than in
other lands, still it is evident to the longtime residents and it is not
out of place that it should be observed with fitting ceremonies. And
because the May Day customs throughout the world have been for the
I St part pretty and eleyatng they may well be developed and en-
outraged here. The Alexander House Settlement should be cordially
couraged in its efforts in this line, as in others which tend to bring
e people, particularly the children, together for a common purpose.

600 MILES IN SIX DAYS

Only fifty-two miles in two days
hy motor truck!
Alaska? No-Wyoming.
The reason? Snow and tempera-
ture of IL degrees below zero.
This sample of an old-fashioned
western blizzard was experienced by
a service truck on a recent trip from
Laramie to Casper. Overtaken by the
binding storm, the big vehicle labor
ed through the immense drifts under
the worst travelling conditions known
for years in this county.
By means of strenuous shoveling by
the drivers, the truck made the .
miles in six days and wol the dig
tinction of being the first motor ve-
hicle to ma =. the trip.

LEGION TO AVOID LABOR DIS.
PUTES

A policy of Glands off" for the
American Legion as an organization
in all disputes and controversies be-
teween employers and employees, or be-
tween capital and labor, is outlined by
Franklin D'Olier, national commander
of the legion, in letter mailed to
Thomas Goldingay, state adjutant of
New Jersey.
The letter defines the attitude of
the national headquarters of the legion
with respect to instances in which
members of the organization are re-
ported to have taken sides in strikes
and similar controversies, and deals
with questions which are to be taken
up by the national executive commit
tee at is meeting in Washington next

dragged the body of Wolf to shed
nearby and also covered the body with
hay. He returned to the kitchen and
opened the trap door leading to the
cellar, dumping the bodies of the three
girls Mrs. Wolf and the choreboy
down the stairs.
Having covered the crime as we'll as
he could, he took the gun with which
the killing had been done and broke it.
He then went to the slough nearby,
where he sunk the gun and the shells
used by him and washing his hands
and clothing to remove all traces o.
the crime went to his home by a cir
cuitous route. He did not mention
the days activities to his wife, the
mother of five young children.
Tuesday afternoon Martinson placed
Layer under arrest. At firsd Layer
denied any knowledge of the crime.
After eight hours of continuous grill
ing he confessed, according to the po.
lice and county attorney.
Emma Wolf, months old the sole
survivor, was not killed. Layer is al
legged to have said, because he did not
know where she was. The baby was
in bedroom sleeping.

This is Teachers Week in North Da-
kota. We wish every school patron
and director would devote some time to
investigate the teacher shortage and
look into the justice or injustice Of
the demands for higher salaries.
Supt. C. V. Peterson, of Tippeca-
noe county, Indiana, had placed in the
store windows of Lafayette anc other
Tirpecanoe county communities, dur
ing Teachers Week, large placards
bearing the following legends:
The school problem is the most i'm
po1tant problem in America today.
We have be!ittled the biggest job in
the Nation.
Fifty per cent pay will not secure
100 per cent efficiency.
A cheap teacher is worse than
cheap egg. You do not have to eat
the egg, but your child is the helpless
victim of good-for-nothing teacher.
Fair play is the foundation of
American principles. Teachers cam
not teach fair play without fair pay.
Governors of other states besides
North Dakota have called attention
to the educational emergency. Among
these are Governor Cox, of Ohio;
Governor Stewart, of Montana; Gov.
Ranyon, of New Jersey; Gov. Shoup,
of Colorado, and the governor of Indi-
ana.
There is difference between nom
inal wages and real wages. Real
wages are measured by what the dol
lar will buy. There has been no in
crease of real wages to teachers;
so-called increases are merely par
tiaD restoration of the purchasing
power of the dollar before the war.
A dollar does not buy half as much
clothing or food as it bought in 1914.
We ars paying teachers in dollars
worth less than fifty cents, and not
twice as many of them. Democracy
is not safe with poor schools.

BISMARCK GOOD ROAD
BOOSTERS

The Bismarck Good Road Ship by
Truck Boosters, piloted by P. r.
Field, director of the tour, arrived in
Linton at about 1:3O Tuesday, and
was met north of town by Mayor
Kruger and several others of the city.
AS the cars passed through Main
street the Linton Boys Band rendered
selection of welcome to the Bis
marckies. They parked their cars at
the south end of Main street, after
which the Elks' Band of twenty-one
nicccs, which accompanied therl,
paraded up the street and played
their opening number. They were
then presented with meal ticket by
the city council in behalf of the city
of Linton, half Of them being accom-
modated at the Linton Hotel and the
other at the City Hotel.
After dinner another selection was
given by the Elk's Ba:d, and they
then started on their journey to
Strasburg.. The first contingent to
arrive here consisted of sixteen cars
and two trucks, and the last, COM
prising the rest of the truck
five trucks, piloted by the aviator,
Cameron, arrived in the city three
hours later. The airplane was to
have led the entire caravan, but ow-
ing to the trouble with his "ship" it
could not leave Bismarck at the time
set The trucks fell behind in the
trip owing to the fast pace set by the
cars, and to the condition of the roads.
Among the tourists was former
Linton ball player, George Smith,
who is now mamber of the Elk's
Band.
The interest taken in the trip by
this community was evidenced by the
fact that all of Linton and great
number from the surrounding terri
tory turned out to welcome them.

BRADDoCK WINS OVER LINTON

Sunday, May 16, 1920, Linton met
Braddock fans at Braddock for the
opening game of the regular schedule.
The game was called at $3.50 with
Ruede pitching for Linton and An
derson for Braddock. The umpires
were Brown, of Linton, and Bear, of
Braddock. Se~sa-2 @~r-S.es'S 3, ~ <
hinton started scoring in the Sec
ond inning, running in one score.
Braddock mads two scores in the
same inning. Linton again scored in
the third, making the score two and
two. During the third and fourth
innings neither side scored, however.
The fifth inning proved to be an ex-
citing one as Linton opened with two
runs, and Braddock came back with
four, givingg them a lead of two
scores. In the seventh Linton scored
once, while Braddock was retired
without any runs, but in the eighth
Linton was retired with no runs, while
Braddock made two. This made the
score eight to five in favor of Brad
dock, and as neither team scored in
the ninth, proved to be the final score.
The game was exciting throughout,
and didn't prove to be walk-a-way
as Braddock had figured. Two times
during the game Linton had three
men on bases and failed to come
through, and this proved to be big
factor in giving Braddock the victory.
Anderson, Of .Braddock, was hit hard,
and was replaced by Rasmussen in the
seventh, while Ruede pitched good ball
for Linton, the fifth inning being the
only time the Braddock batters hit
him to amount to anything. Several
minor disputes arose during the game,
owing to new rules, but these were
easily settled. Taking everything in>
to consideration, it was a good game
Of ball.
The lineup was as follows:
Linton-Runs, S; hits, H.; error, a.
