Chums Die Together
Mrs. Hughes says one of the mos
pitiful sights in her class room wa
that of two small boys, Jack Clarl
and Levaga Martin, who had beer
chums since babyhood.
"At the instant when the storm
came lashing I saw the boys reacl
out their hands across the aisle. The!
died like that together"
Only a few minutes prior to the
tornado, Jack Clark had been talk
ing with Mrs. Hughes.
"He was such dear yOungster
I loved to have him visit at my
DESK" said Mrs. Hughes. "At this
time he had come up to tell me
how he was getting his temper I'M
der control. Then in a burst of
confidence he admitted he had just
kicked little Bertha Gamble, the
girl i'm front of him, because she
had pinched him. suggested
hereafter he let me do the punish
ing if any one pinched him. He
was very grave as he assured me
he would, and promised he would
never kick any one again. 1t isn't
believable to think of him as dead
when he was all life and laughter
this time yesterday"

a challenge to thieves and murderers
to do their worst.
Opposed to the Legion program
and favoring disarmament are two
groups, said McNutt.
Honesty Respected
lone of these groups is made up
of we'll meaning, intelligent people.
might call them honest, con-
scientious directors, and I mean to
cast none of the stigma which at
tached to the term during the war.
These are the pacifists. They honest
ly believe that peace can be
furthered by disarmament.
1--WE can respect them, for they
act upon honest belief, and that is
their American privilege.
But we most emphatically dis
agree with them. We disagree with
disarmament and the taking of a
Stacker oath by the youth of
America"
The State commander argued that
We're America to cast aside her de-
Tense she would court the fate Of
Constantinople, "once the richest and
weakest city in the world"
Preparedness Saves Lives"
I'VE have come to the time when.
with all Of the peace plans not ac-
copied, the only common sense thing
for us to do is to be prepared for
to our pacif1st friends that we as a
nation should not again be charge
able with the truth which has
marked almost every American war,
that SO per cent Of the casualties
have been the result of sending i'm
properly trained men into combat.
These lives are too precious
America cannot place a value upon
then1a-to sacrifice them for the sake
of sentimentalists."
In the other group opposed to the
Legion ideals, McNutt placed the
"reds," including communists
"wopplies' and anarchists.
Deportation His Answer
"These persons favor disarmament,
the same as the pacifists, but for a
widely different purpose. They want
America disarmed so they can over
throw this Government.
ITO these persons who enjoy free
dom and prosperity under this Gov
eminent and yet seek to wreck it
the American Legion has but one
answer They ought to get out if
they don't like this country. De-
portation is the answer"
Sees Danger
1.-THE danger to American institu-
tons lies In the fact that in many
Of these organizations favoring dis
armament there is an interlocking
directorate. There are people of both
groups in the same bodies and there
is no insurance that the people
honestly seeking international peace
may not be overwhelmed by those
who secretly seek the exact OPP
posite."
McNutt said his administration will
drive hard to aid all Indiana posts to
bring membership up to numbers
commensurate with Indiana's posi-
ton as the home of National Legion
headquarters. He stressed the neces-
sity for carrying out the mandate Of
the national convention at Phila-
delphia, that every post shall render
some signal service to its community
this year.

A Negro and his wife died in one
of the four houses wrecked by the
storm.
Twenty-one injured children were
under treatment in Washington hos
pitfalls or at their homes here. OF

The children were in class when
the twister struck the school and
demolished it, burying all within I'M

Community Funeral Probable
A community funeral probably will
be held. but La Plata early today was

The tornado, shaking the town as
though by an earthquake, cut a path
across a narrow strip and toppled
the schoolhouse like toothpicks.
Timber was blown hundreds Of feet;
many children were caught beneath
debris; Lavega Martin was crushed
to death with a huge rafter; Lave

Hughes, principal.
Rushed to Washington
Suffering children, who begged to
be taken to the hamlet, were rushed
into Washington hospitals. The
village was nearly deserted when
Navy men and Marines, doctors
from the countryside, ambulances
from the Red Cross, and Army in
Washington came to give succor.
Automobiles had been Communicated
as emergency ambulances and a
stream Of them hurried over rain
washed roads to the capitol city.
In the town, little could be
CLEANED, as mothers frantically
searched for children already rushed
off to the city.

VICTORIA, B. G., June To- by
Associated Press. Advices received
here today said that wholesale men
Of the prairie provinces had agreed
not TO buy Strawberries from Missouri
| growers.
Complaints were made that berries
from Missouri were shipped into West
ern Canada and sold at prices below
the British Columbia berries. A duty
Of so cents on strawberries from
Missouri and Arkansas was declared
yesterday"
Canada evidently views that It Is ell
right and perfectly proper to ship
TO United States markets cedar prod
ucts Of at least SIS, 0O0,O0O.00 annual
", free Of duty, but Cor Missouri and
Arkansas to ship few hundred dol
lars worth Of strawberries to Canada
IS all wrong. Canada protects her
labor and industry with tariff on
few hours notice, even to small and
insignificant importations. The Uni
ted States Cedar Industry has waited
for years, and is asking only a fair
protection for large and important
industry, employing thousands of
workmen, and having an aggregate
OF millions of invested capital.
One Of our national farmer Lead
erss fighting for protection of farm
ing interests has said: 1.-THE Ameri-
can market pays high prices for most
Of our nations products. There is
no demand from thinking men for
admission Of competing products to.
our markets free of duty. Both the.
American farmer and manufacturer
need protection against ruinous com
petition from abroad. The American
market must be kept for Americans
to retain our high standard Of living
and high scale of wages. Tearing
down our tariff wall would cut the
standard Of living and wages, silence
he Whirr Of machinery in factories,
and reduce the American farmer and
laborer TO status below that of the
European peasant"
The United States Cedar Industry
respectfully submits its cause is Just;
that its present depressed condition
preents an extreme emergency, which
rightfully entities the industry to inn
mediate consideration at the hands of
Congress.
