Citizens Recall Events Of
Governors ooyhood.

In Sunrise, MIMI, quaint little
village Of two hundred souls. the folks
are holding daily political rallies.
Sometimes they meet In the "city
hail." a one-room structure that tops
rise at a bend Of the Sunrise river
sometimes in Andrew Lind's general
store. And'w the trail permits, the
Sunrise folks Journey to North Branch.
a sister town some ten miles distant,
and meet Jointly with the enthusiasts
there.
at the conclusion of each rally State
Representative Elias Nordgren or
S. W. Runyan or Henry voss or Silas
Boyce or some other booster will leap
to his feet and shout:
(" All right, boys, three cheers for our
next president, our native son, Frank
o. Lowden."
The cheers are always lusty.
Sunrise in Political Furore.
It was before Christmas that these
.old-fashioned ''hot-time" rallies were
begun in Sunrise, the birthplace of
Governor Lowden. They soon spread
to other villages and towns in that
rather bleak stretch of country where
the Lowden family made its start.
And they'll soon be in progress
throughout Minnesota" said Represen-
tative Nordgren, Republican leader.
Back in the days of white-torped
prairie schooners, OK teams and 1pdlan
raids, early in 1858 to be exact, Lo-
renzo Lowden came out Of Pennsylva-
MIA, swung into trail leading to the
north country and settled in the vicin-
ity of Sunrise. Sunrise at that time
was a lively little trading post in the
heart Of a strip Of country replete
with adventures country where life
was cheap.
The indians In their birch canoes
came down the twisting Sunrise river
and the st. Croix with berries, deer,
fur and fish, and bargained for the
wares Of the white man. When rela-
lions became strained, as sometimes
happened, a company Of soldiers was
called in to protect the whites.
Lowdens Settle in Sunrise.
This was the setting when Lorenzo
Lowden moved into the vicinity Of the
little trading post and became the VII
LACE blacksmith, three years before the
birth Of Frank.
The little blacksmith shop IL still the
property Of the Lowden children. 1t
is used only for storage purposes.
The old home Of the Lowdens, the
home where Frank o. L0wden was
born nearly sixty years ago, Is still
standing on its original site two miles
out of the village. =
It has been remodeled from time to
time. but the original framework. raj
ters and uprights remain in position
and the size and shape Of the house
have been altered but little. It II
now occupied by Silas =. Boyce.
Farm Hand Announces Birth.
On the evening Of January 26. 1851.
4 farm hand, his face hidden In q
shawl, came down the lonely, snow

Thirty.two Southern Cities Invited to
Provide Stopping Places for Planes

Forms Of Aircraft.

New York.-Plans for establishment
Of a chain ct airplane landing fields
have been worked out by officers of
the army air service and the Manu-
facturers' Aircraft association, 1t was
announced here.
/ Army flyers have covered more than
10000 miles in an aerial survey of the
country and made exhaustive reports
on the facilities offered to cross-coun-
try flyers.
Representatives Of 80 southern cit
les already have been invited to es-
tablish landing fields under army d.
r,ection. Many others will receive like
invitations during the next few
months
These must be, laid out according
to specifications given by the army,
and in return the government gives
steel hangers to the municipalities. Op-
Grafton of the "air harbor" is assumed
by the municipality.
Since the armistice the number Of
army fields has been reduced from so
. to 16, and the naval air stations from
II to 8.
Like Harbor to Liner.
1.-THE landing field" says the air
craft association, ais to- the airplane
what the harbor is to the ocean liner
and the railroad terminal is to the
train. It is not merely fiat piece Of
land on which q flyer can bring his
craft to earth. Such a piece of
ground bears the same relation to a
real landing field as an unimproved
water inlet to a harbor like New York
or, Liverpool. q.
"A landing field should have, first
OF all, dimensions which fit it to ham
die all forms Of aircraft. 1t should
be drained to permit its use even in
the wettest weather. It should have
shelter and supplies for flyers and their
craft and should be accessible to the
trade center it is meant to serve.
This feature Is of supreme impor-
lance because commercial aerial navi-
cation will develop only in proportion
to it's commercial value. The field
should be identified with markings Wis
ible from great heights and with radio
apparatus so flyers may be aided in
finding their way in spite Of the fog
or failure to identify the country over
which they are passing.
: Haven II Mishap Occurs.
"Fields at frequent intervals means
that cross country flyers can come to
the earth for rest, replenishment Of
supplies and adjustments to their ma
chimes without inconvenience or I'M
necessary delay. In the event Of a
mishap in the air, such as stalled mo-
tor. the nearby landing field permits
the pilot to glide to It without damage
to the machine or to himself. IS.
