training work in high schools was
increased from $16,2OO to $4,000.
AS long as we do not have better
state normal facilities, we must have
normal high school training depart
ments to train our students who wish
to become rural school teachers.
We would like to secure magazines
containing articles on good roads, as
some of our students intend entering
the national highway essay contest.

Legion News Notes

AS a testimonial of what some
of our really "big men" think of
the work the Legion is doing, we are
placing before you the following let
ter:
"May I express at this time my
profound sense of gratitude for the
privilege of joining with the Legion
in its worthy endeavor to raise an
endowment fund for the care and
cure of the disabled mon of the Uni
ted States forces during the world
war, and the care of the orphaned
children Of those who so bravely died
in that conflict. Compared to the
sacrifices which they made for us,
the largest contributions to your pro-
ject must seem small indeed"
q JOHN W. DAVIS.
This is a letter written to National
Commander Drain and shows that the
policies of the Legion are not only
for immediate needs, but for the
good of future generations and of
this noble country of ours, as a

1925 Stampede
To start with. there were several
nice exhibitions with the boxing
gloves. This put the "buddies' in
a splendid state of mind to carry on
the work of the evening. Several
committees were named for the car
rying out of the Memorial Day pro-
gram, and the post assures the COM
munity as good. if not a better one
than that of last year. Another mat
ter was that of the Stampede for the
coming summer. A committee was
named to handle this work and we
are advised that they are already
functioning.
The matter of the next regular
meeting of the N. E. Montana Legion
Welfare association was taken up
and Comrade Foor advised the post
that the next meeting will be held
at Poplar, sometime in May, the ex-
act date to be given out later. Com
rade Foor also informed the post that
this is to be a real meeting. and
that none can afford to miss it, as
a royal entertainment is promised.
At the time of this meeting the
40 & 8" are planning on cutie a
celebration, and we are informed
that the wrecking crew are in fine
and are looking forward to
this meeting with pleasure, as they
expect to have a lot of new material
to work with-and on.
After the business of the post had
been attended to. and a few real

CHICAGO, June l5.--One of the wit

human body, prior to the death of
William n. McClintock. for which
Shepherd is on trial for murder, wa

DR.. Amante Rongetti agreed that the
225pound, white.taced, 50-year old de-
fendant was not OF the appearance of
the slender. 150-pound. dark young
man he previously had stated came to
his hospital
DIR. Rongetti admitted also that he
had denied that Shepherd ever visited
him, and that when a friend had warn

business he engaged in. get mixed up
in the Shepherd trial. he had said he
thought IL better to be on the side OF

The dfense was kept from asking
Rongetti about a conviction for con-

LIST Cavalry Division at Fort Bliss,
Ell Paso, Tex.
During the World War Gen. Bundy
commanded the I'd Division at Chateau
Thierry when the last great offense
of the enemy was halted. Following
that engagement he was placed in
command of the 9Th Army Corps and
charged with the responsibility of
supervising the final training If
divisions preparatory to their being
ordered to the front. He was one of
the first four major generals selected
by Gen. Pershing for that service.
In the Spanish war, Gen. Bundy
was brevetted for gallantry in the
campaign that resulted in the capture
of Santiago. In the Philippine in
surrection he took part in several cam
paigns and was officially cited for
skill and gallantry in handling his
command during the assault on hostile
Moros at Mount Dajo on the Island
of Jolo in March, 1906. In his earlier
career he took part in campaigns
against the Grow Indians near Fort
Custer, Mont, in November, 1887, and
against the Sioux Indians in South
Dakota during the Winter. of 1890
1891. Gen. 3undy Is a native of
Indiana and was graduated from the

way. He knows every hill, river. val
ley. railroad, highway and almost
every tree on his course. he knows
the tricks of the weather, and II he Is
blocked straight ahead he will parry
for an opening. He plays the winds
that Is, if the wind Is against him at
1000 feet he will climb until he can
get a tail wind, even though IT be
as high as 5000 feet. Sometimes he
is forced to fly right over the tree
tops not only because the wind at
that low altitude Is more advan-
tageous, but because of rains, fog or
snow.
If he cannot win out over the eli
matte disturbances no other birdman
can. Granting he has been defeated
and seldom he is-he will return to the
starting point or an emergency field,
and not set down In some obscure
spot. Experience has taught the pilots
that in landing on an unprepared
field the chances of cracking up
are great; the trouble in getting the
motor started with no help TO turn
over the propeller attached TO 400
horsepower engine and other hin.
ORANGES tend to delay the mail more

War Planes Rebuilt.
During the war the De Haviland
aircraft firm Of Great Britain built

motor, was used by the American
forces abroad A large number of
these planes were built In America.

stock was on hand. Since the war

At Cleveland another plane and a
new pilot are standing by to receive
the mail as the incoming craft lands

where a landing is made at 8 o'clock,
