In a cIean.U Mood

Dear Editor:
l have noticed lot about
abolishing unsightly billboards along
the highways-which is a good idea
i have been thinking for some
time that all dumps ought to be
abolished also. What Is more dis
gushing than seeing all kinds of rub
bish dumped beside the highway. to
breed flies, etc.?
Also people splitting tobacco and
tobacco juice where others have to
walk, there being no sidewalks in
the country.

"The sweetest rest is at even
After q wearisome day,
When the heavy burden Of labor
Has been borne from our hearts

And those who have never known
sorrow
Cannot know the infinite peace
That falls on the troubled spirit

He's r.ch, too. His officers salary

One of the colonels suggestions is
quite generally regarded in Wash

his suggestion that all branches Of
Americas fighting force should be
grouped together under a single Sec

The obvious tendency Of this ar

Washington prosecution ever
went into case with less enthusi-
assn than the War Department goes
after Col. BILLY" Mitchell, for the
roast ne gave the a~mv's and the
ravy's management O: their respet-
tive aviation services.
And no wonder. for here's \ SIT
uot.on in which the prosecution is
on the defensive. with the accused,
quite Indifferent as TO his own fate,
hot after a verdict Of guilty against
his accusers.
Can't Lose
The worst of it, from the War De-
par:mant's standpoint. is that Col.
BILLY" cant lose. no matter how the
case ends. The War and Navy
Departments can hardly do anything
else.
Suppose the colonel's vindicated.
That meaps he wins and he can
win only on the ground thai what
he said about aviation was justi-
fied~-a frirhtfnl pair of black eyes
for the War and Navy Departments
alike.
On the other hand, suppose he's
found guilty Of insubordinatio
and even deprived Of his commission.
In that event he's martyr, a
mighty popular one, too, and those
who made him one are correspond
inly unpopular for doing so.
Seek Truth
The War Department will try to
disregard what Col. BILLY" sad and
concentrate on the proposition that
the way he said it was what made
it insubordinate.
The colonel will admit that he
was insubordinate, perhaps, but in
sist characterization was a patriotic
necessity, because the country's well
fare depended on the broadcasting
of the truths he had to tell.
If the War and Navy Departments
could show that American aviation
really is up to snuff they wouldn't
have SO much TO fear, but Mitchell
undoubtedly can prove the air in
feriOrity Of the United States to
France, England and Japan, at least.

bus up the enbankment and on its
way to the city at 2:30 P. M. The
accident occurred a few feet west Of
the Crow Creek Bridge on State
Highway No. IA which is too narrow
to allow cars to pass. The effort OF
both drivers to avoid meeting on the
bridge was the cause of the acci-
dent.
Mr.. Phillips was bound for Morton
with several friends while the bus,
on regular schedule, was bound for
Marshall. The driver of the car
noticed the lights of the bus coming
from the east and put on the brakes
to allow the bus to pass. The hill at
this point was extremely icy and in
applying the brakes the car skidded
into the bus. Mr.. Barker, driver of
the bus, knowing that to avoid pos.
sibly fatal accident he would have
to get as far to the right of the road
as possible, he turned the bus, the
enbankment gave away and the bus
plunged downward. Although the
bus did not tip over the occupants
were badly shaken. Among the pas
sengers on board who suffered slight
injuries and bruises was Mrs. Louisa
Henze of Redwood Falls. Mr..
Barker, the driver was bruised but
apparently not seriously injured. He
returned to Minneapolis Monday
morning. The car was badly dama3-
ed in the collision but with the ex-
ception of small glass cuts received
by Miss Iowa Jones none of the oc-
cupants were injured
Blame cannot be laid upon. either,
driver. 1t was matter of road con ;
ditions. The contract for new

until it is completed motorists should:
abide by the warning signals on
either side of the present bridge.
