For National Cooperative
 Grain Mart
By Tad

Chicago, April 11-Ratification of a national cooperative grain marketing plan proposed by the Farmers Grain Marketing Committee of Seventeen will be taken up for consideration here tomorrow at a conference of farmer representatives from the 25 important grain producing states of the country.
 Delegates to the meeting pumber 1J7, all chosen at state meetings held by the committee in March. Dele gates were apportioned on the basis of the average value of grain mar keted in each state during the past ten years.
 Chairman of the ratification con- ference will be J. R. Howard, presi- dent of the American Farm Bureau Federation, who in July of last year called a national marketing confer ence that led to the creation of the Committee of Seventeen.
 The final report of this committee will be presented tomorrow by its chairman, c. H. Gustafson, Ne braska farmer who heads several large farmers cooperative organlza- tions.
 If the marketing plan and the rec concentrations of the committee are accepted by the conference, it will re- suit in the imn ediate formation of a farmers national grain marketing company" MT. Gustafson said. The hearty approval with which the plan was received at the state meetings indicates that several thousand exist ing tive elevators will at once affiliate with the national grain mar keting company so that it can han . dle an appreciable part of the 1921 crop,

GA LEPERS

Honolulu, T. H., April H.
 Praise God from Whom all blessings
 Praise Him all creatures here
 below;
 Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
 Praise Father, Son and Holy
 Ghost.'
 In simple grandeur the notes and words of the old ooxology arose. from half a thousand throats; a sta1wart, te-headed Hawaiian senator and pastor spoke a solemn benedlctlon, and sixty-four men and Women-once lepers-filed between the lava. pillars of Kalihi's gates to freedom, back to a world from which they had been outcasts, back to the homes which some at least had believed they never would see again.
 Science had won another great bat tie with the scourge of the ages.
 The sixty-four patients who were released on parole the other day from the Kanhi hospital after treatment with refined chaulmoogra oil, consti- tuted the third division so returned to their homes. In all 142 have been paroled during the past two years and not a single one has been sent back owing to recurrence of the disease.
 Officially the institution is known as Kalihi hospital but its inmates call it by another name, strange name, unless one has seen the cheerfulneSs born of hope that pervades the air there It is Mount Happy
 On the day the sixty and four were paroled friends and relatives gather ed from far and near in the islands to greet those who came out of the vale of shadow. Behind a hedge stood one group of smiling inmates, behind frail wire fence another happy group One group was to go back to the world, the other was to remain for further treatment.
 Still another group, and larger, was gathered on the other side of the wire fence; they were the mothers, fath- CTS brothers sisters, sons, daughters and friends of the paroled patients.
 The clear voice of a Hawaiian woman started singing the doxo1ogy. others sweIled the volumn, and, to the accompaniment of rustling palms. and the hum of a warm trade wind in the trees the air of thankfulness and praise carried through to its last grand note
 stephen Desha. minister of the gospel and territorial senator. more than six feet in height, sta1wart and white-headed pronounced a benedic- tion in the Hawaiian tongue.
 The sixtyfour turned to the right and marched out between the lava pillars of the big gate to the arms of their waiting relatives and friends.

 Keep Youngsters
 Out Of Trouble

New York, April 11.-More than 1000 playgrounds and recreational centers in the United States are help ing to keep boys out of mischief, teaching girls swimming and other athletics and showing adults how to benefit themselves physically and mentally by play
 The effect they have in keeping boys out of trouble with the police is emphasized in reports which have come to the Playground and Recrea- tion Association from all over the country as one of the most important grounds in cities. These facts are given in the year book of the associa- tion just made public.
 The chief of police of San Fran cisco believes the establishment of neigh borhood recreation centers is a constructive measure toward suppress ing the crime wave. He asked the community service to extend it's rec reatioR work because he believed that the swrong use of leisure time had much to do with the increase in crime.
 Granville Lee, supervisor of the Portland iMe-, Recreation Commissi on, says that bad boys behave themselves and also that there are fewer street accident of children becuse of play grounds.
 The playground directors of Bay
 
 summer activities on the. playgrounds have practically eliminated all swear ing. cheating and stealing among the children. They note with satisfaction that the spirit of fair play has helped to put the playground bully where he belongs and boast of an appreciable falling off of delinquents. r Cases are reported where mothers have been amazed to note that their children did not catch cold although they played in the snow, that the youngsters have gained in weight and appetite. In one case a father forbade his daughter to play 'becaues it made her eat too much.
 One thousand children were taught to swim in one week at Tacoma, Wash, and it is estimated that 500. the majority of them girls, have learned to swim at Seattle.
 Pageants, plays and community singing have been fostered through otr1 the country in the past year with good results. One pageant was given at Kalamazoo, Mich, in a SnowStorm but it was attended by several thou sands and the SceenS were much en- hanced by the snowy setting.
 Community singing in factories has been helpful in establishing friend ships among the employees and be- tween them and their employers and in lessening the popularity of crap shooting.
 Many different organizations are promoting this work with the result that a 42 per cent gain is reported last year.

inasmuch as if anything happened
on the return such as running into
very strong head wind we would
be assured of having plenty of gas
and oil which is most essential
consideration. Ii was a very still
day. Consequently our landing
would be very fast and ! was for
tunate to get my plane onto the
ground without any mishap whatso-
ever. My companion, however,
did not meet with the same good
fortune and after landing a slight
current of air caused his plane to
swing quickly on the ground and
tip onto one wing, breaking the

this was disaster. 1t was impos-

French Celebrated Fourth of July
However, it was all in the game
and we decided to make the best

also, upon walking into the town
that the French had declared hol-

in view of Franco also being a re-

We spent the morning and after

DAVIS, CAPTAIN AIR SERVICE, TELLS
STORY OF FOURTH SPENT IN FRANCE
written Specially Palladium by WALTER DAVIS
Captain American Air Servce)

Having been granted a short
leave of absence from my flying
field, located in the central part oil
France near the small city of Is
soudun, a very good friend of mine
and myself decided to fly down to
the historic, old city of POTTER,
which, being some two hundred
miles distance, was not very long
trip, inasmuch as our small, fast
airplanes were capable Of speed
Of about one hundred twenty-five
miles an hour.
Early in the morning of the
Fourth of July we were up and
away. The wonderful blue sky to
gether with the beautiful French
landscape as seen from the air
promised to make our trip very
enjoyable one.
Leaving our field we flew direct
ly over the town of Issoudun and
in very few minutes were over
the city of Chateauroux which is
very famous for wonderful cathe-
dral built, as I understand, some
time during the seventeenth cen
fury. From Chateauroux we turn
ed directly south until we were
above the river LaCreuse which
we followed until reaching the lit
tie city of LaBlanc.
A word in passing relative to
the valley of the LaCreuse. Many
beautiful old chauteaux were along
these banks, some of them of great
historic interest. You may mag
inc the beautiful view to be had of
them from the air where it was
possible to see the design and gen
eral contour Of their many archi-
tectural ramifications together
with the beautiful formal land
scape patterns of their numerous
gardens.
A Landing and an Accident
1t was necessary for us to land
at LaBlanc either going or coming
from Potter to refill our gasoline
and Oil tanks. l decided that it
