ORCHESTRA CHANGES NAME

"Mitchell's Melodians" is the new
name chosen by the Krazy Kat or
chestra of. Plentywood. Just why the
boys decided to re-christen them
selves is not known unless it is be-
cause several changes have been made
in placing the musicians. The or
chestra is now composed of Charles
Dahlin, trumpet; Harold Donaldson,
drums; LYDIA Hoist, piano; Henry
Goodman, banjo and violin; Charles
Graf, saxophone and Marion Mitchell
saxophone and clarinet.
In spite of the changes the or
chestra has undergone, their music
will be of the same quality as here
tofore.
The boys will furnish music for the
Sons of Norway dance at Antelope
next Saturday, November 3rd.

SECRETARY WILBUR WANTS MORE SHIPS
 FUR TRAINING MEN
REAL PROBLEM OF NAVY IS TRAINING MEN PHYSICALLY,
 MORALLY AND SPIRITUALLY

PITTSBURGH, March 20, P)-Tak- ing different tack in an appeal. for a potential Navy, Secretary Wilbur stressed the need of good ships as homes for men under training for National defense.
 Comparing the Navy with the home the Secretary said it must be kept clean and shipshape and in good order for the service. He pointed out the need of target practice, maneuvers and naval problems and said they are investments in brain power
 "The real problem of the Navy is the men, their physical, moral and spiritual training for the tasks before them. Let us not think of expendit- ures for the Navy as useless and ex- orbitant in time of peace or for war, which we hope will never occur but let us think of our Navy as train ing school for men,"

PLUNCES FROM
WAR MEMORIAL
Workman Falls 125 Feet to
Death.

Losing his balance while working
on a ledge of the Indiana World
war memorial shrine. Walter Gates,
43, of 1921 West Twenty-flfth street,
plunged 125 feet to his death this
morning.
Every bone in his body was bro
ken, according to Coroner Charles
H. Keever. His watch, however,
still was ticking when workmen
found the body.
No one witnessed the fall, al
though P. E. Peterson, Roosevelt
hotel, who was following Gates
around the ledge, saw him disap-
pear and heard his screams.
Gates, an iron worker, and a
crew of workers this morning be-
gan the task of setting up bronze
fixtures on the main building of the
memorial. They we're walking
around the ledge seeking a proper
place to set a scaffold when the
tragedy occurred.
Peterson, the foreman, said
Gates was preceding him around
the ledge when he suddenly stum-
bled over a barricade, lost his bal
ance and tumbled down the vent
chute of the building.
The iron crew is in the employ of
the Flower City Ornamental Com
pany.

EcOnOmy-It is necessary to re-

otherwise we shall reach the end
of the year with an unbalanced
budget.
National Defense Our army
does not need to be increased. Our
navy is deficient in cruisers. The

n
Anti-War Treaty-It is the most
soleumn declaration against war,
that it is possible for nations to
make"
Farm Relief-The government
should aid in promoting orderly
marketing and in handling sur
pluses. There should be created
a federal farm board empowered
to advise in establishing central
agencies or stabilization corpora
tions, to seek more economical
means of merchandising.

will protect the rights of the
