erage of 571 for the 81 years since

Unless the winter is extraordinar-
lily cold the year also will show an
excess of temperature in comparison
with the 81 year average, the excess
to date being 1000 degrees or an
average daily excess Of 81 degrees.

COOLIDGE ON
WAY T00MAHA
President Will Make But One
Speech - That to
Veterans

With President Coolidge's Train,
en- route to Omaha, near Chillicothe,
Ohio, Oct. 5.-(P)IA daylight trip
through southern Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois lay before President Coolidge
today as his train travelled westward
toward Omaha. where tomorrow he
will address the American Legion
convention. His route was through
a section of the country he has not
visited since entering the White
House. Without incident, the special
train, which Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge
boarded yesterday in Washington
forced its way during the night
through the mountains of West Vir-
ginia. Before dawn it had crossed
the Ohio river, making it's way to-
ward Cincinnati and St. Louis. Al
though faced with the certainty that
crowds would greet the party at var
ious points along the route, the pres
ident was determined to confine him
self to one speech on the trip, the
prepared address he will deliver to
the war veterans at Omaha. He was
willing to appear on the observation
platform to wave to the public, but
unwilling to indulge in extemporan-
eous speech-making.
The presidents train is due in
Omaha tomorrow. During 10-hour
stay there he will address the Legion
convention, attend a luncheon that
will be given in his honor and review
an afternono parade of Legionnaires
He will be back in Washington Thurs.

SIMS YOUTH
KILLS SELF
Boys Action Believed to BE
the Result of a Mental De-
rangement

Mandan, N. D., Oct. 5.-(P)--Leon-
ard Bakken. aged about Is years, shot
and killed himself shortly after noon
Saturday at Sims, according to tele-
phoned information received here by
Coroner John X. Kennedy. Coroner
Kennedy and States Attorney C. f.
kelsch left at once to investigate
the case. No reason was given for
the boys action.
The Bakken youth some months
ago was taken before Judge II. l..
Berry who conducted a personal in
vestigations of statements by Sims
people that the boy was insane. At
the request of Judge Berry the youth
was taken in ut the state training
school for observation.
He was released couple of weeks
ago apparently much improved ment-
ally. Supt. w. F. McClelland de-
clared the boy was suffering from the
hallucination that persons were try
ing to kill him; that he was afraid
to ride on train or 60 to bed at
night for fear of being electrocuted.
However, after few weeks care at
the state school he appeared normal
and was sent home to Sims.
No details we're available as to how
the youth ended his life. However,
in the minds of the officials familiar
with his case, it is certain that he
suffered relapse to his mental de-
rangement.
Following hearing of shot near
the Sims church, persons investiga-
ted and found the boy behind the
church in dying condition.

bow for 1925, triumphed over the
North Dakota university eleven by
a score of 25 to 6 in the annual grid

that out weighed them By consider
able margin. man for man, and a
team composed of veterans which

ed with no profiteers and slackers,"
was urged by James A. Drain, ma
tional commander of the American
Legion, in an address before the Ma
tional Legion convention here today.
1.-THE surest way to preserve peace
in America the commander said,
''is ndequNte preparednessb the
Legion has always and al
ways shall be. pledged for peace" he
declared. But we know the world
cannot have peace simply by wishing
for it and denying the possibility of
war. We know peace must rest up
on international justice and prepar-
edness.
"The American Legion believes
that peace time preparedness for a
war which may be thrust upon the
nation will. on the one hand, reduce
the probabilities Of war and, on the
other, better prepare US or defense
of ourselves.
Federal Law Needed
"The Legion believes wise pro-
vision in peace for the use of all
available resources of the nation to
carry forward successfully an una
war involves some form Of
adequate federal law by which. at
the need of the nation. not only will
there be made available man power
to fight but manpower to work. fac
tory power to produce and money
power to finance a war. In short,
a way to carry forward war with no
profiteers and no slackers."
Presents Report
Commander Drain presented a $50
page report for the period of his
commando rship. He said the past
year has been one of success in all
Legion enterprises. Speaking on
ideals of fellowship in the Legion,
Commander Drain asked the veterans
to "forget self and continue to turn
their efforts and their strength to an
unselfish devotion to God and coun-
try with the same spirit Of self sa.
crifice which moved them to service
during the world war" Commander
Drain warned the Legionnaires
against participation in politics as a
national organization. "We must be
Nonpartisan in politics as an organ
ization," he declared.
