FLx. YOUR OWN PLANE

TO-DAY on this page you will find the first of six lessons
 which will show you in detail how to make model airplane that will really fly. You can work on your plane as the lessons appear, or you can cut them out and clip them together, then make your plane when you have the whole set to go by.
 Every boy has on hand the ma terials for making one of these planes, or he can get them for a few cents. And while you're putting the plane together and studying these lessons you'll learn lot about h0 wa real airplane works.
 When you've finixhed your plane, practice flying it. You'n probably want to make some changes and im- proVemensS as you learn more about it- Then be sure to enter the No reMher IA national contest of min iature aircraft fliers. On that day simply have three adults watch and time three flights of your plane, then write letter, with the records signed by the timers, to the Minia- lure Aircraft Pliers, TAG Monad- mock Block, Chicago. The results will be hrOacast by radio Saturday night, November 22, announcing the winners of each locality, county, state, and the nation. Maybe your plane will set a new record.

Lightning Does Strike

Lightning does strike in the same place, in spite of the popular saying which declAres it doesn't. In some of the national forests trees have been
 found that bear the scars of as many as seven or eight separate lightning strokes.
 Lightning in hard on our forests, as sometimes the trees struck by lightning catch on fire. the fire spreads, and the
 result is great loss of valuable lum- ber.
 There Is no tree that is especially subject to lightning, nor is there any kind of tree that is immune from it It used to be popular belief that the safest tree to take refuge under during . storm wSs the beech. Scientists, how eEer, have proved that the beech really Edcesnt escape lightning any more than any other tree.
 There are certain zones in the forests
 which seem to be especially subject to the raxages of lightning. The special
 belt of trouble in North America is in
 Arizona and New Mexico. In Arizona, lon the cinder fiat east of San Francis
 o mountais, half of the trees have been
 killed ar injured at some time by this enemy of the forests.

s. D. At the election November 4
the residents of both towns voted on
the same candidates for sheriff, audi
tor and other county officials down

Yet the two cities are 115 miles

county seat, is in the eastern fringe
of South Dakota's Black Hills, and
Is tributary by rail to Sioux City
Iowa, and Omaha, Neb. Faith, its
sister city, is in the heart of the cat
tie country, and is tributary by rail
to the Twin Cities.
Meade County contains 3,491 square
miles of territory.
Armstrong County reports having
done its mite in the Statewide get
out-the vote campaign, and antici-
pated a record ballot, although all ii
had to do was return 10 votes from
it's single precinct.
Prior to this year the county had
never mustered more than is votes
and these We're culled from an un-
certain population which numbered
"a persons in the last census. The
county is unorganized. Practically
the entire extent of it's 13 odd
townships is given over to the cat

has a varying population of Sioux
Indians and is all reservation terri
tory.
Armstrong County is without n
