SCORES OF PLANES COMPETE
IN NATIONAL AIR TOUR

Many nationally known pilots and
we'll known makes of airplanes are
competing in the Fourth National Air
Tour, taking off from the Ford Air
port, Detroit, Michigan, June 3Oth.
Every type of airplane is included,
from the huge tri-motored Ford
Transport to small sport types-all
completing for the much sought after
Edsel Ford Silver Trophy, the pilots,
meanwhile, competing individually for
the Monarch Coffee Award of $1,000
90 to the crew of the winning ship.
Among the interesting planes in
the tour will be the new Ryan brou-
CHAM, entered by Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh, and piloted by his friend
and former flying partner, Philip
Love; the Monarch plane, Bull Air
ster, entry of the Bull Aircraft Com
pany, a Bellanca monoplane, similar
to that used by Clarence D. Chamber
lain on his flight to Germany, enter
ed by Edward F. Schlee and William
S. Brook, pilots of the pride of De-
troit" on the attempted around-the-
world flight last year.
The 1928 air tour is the most am
bilious that has yet been attempted,
and constitutes a gruelling test for
both planes and pilots. The tour,

The election judges in Rock town.

primary election were very generous
in the manner that they handed out
ballots to the voters and as a result
the canvassing board when it met at
the court house at Pipestone was COM
PEELED to throw out the entire vote
cast on the state candidates, in that
township. The judges gave Repub-
lican and a farmer-labor state ballot
to each voter and as a result the vot-
ers cast ballots for two candidates.

A short change artist tried his game
in two of our stores last week, but in
both instances he was unsuccessful.
His game was the old stunt of buying
n small article and handing the clerk
a ten dollar bill. After the clerk had
made the change, he would discover
that he had bin of smaller denom-
nation and would offer that. The idea
was to confuse the clerk to such an
extent that he would get the bill and
the change as well.-Madison indie

PROCESS PROLONCS
YULE TREES LIFE
Treatment Also Serves as
Safety Measure, Says
Forestry Bulletin.

In spite of steam heat and the dry
ing effect of their multitudinous lights,
the original greenness of the 15,o00,0 ,00O
Christmas trees to adorn American
homes this year can be greatly pro-
longed by artificial means, much as cut
flowers are prevented from whiting toe
soon, says a bulletin released today by
the American Forestry Association.
The base of the tree should be inn
mersed in water, the bulletin says
either by use of pan or bucket, or by
purchasing one of the many new de-
vices now on the market.
Serves Safety Need.
This treatment, aside from the deco
rative advantage of preserving the
greenness of the trees, will also serve a
safety need in maintaining high
moisture content against possible COM
bustion from the lights and wiring.
It was pointed out that many of the
trees will reach the home after having
been cut at least two weeks. Much OF
the original freshness can be restored
by this care, the bulletin says.
The fact that most of the trees will
be set up in rooms heated by steam tc
temperature of from 65 to 80 degrees
is additional reason for treating them
with water.
Process Outlined.
The trees should first be sawed of
several inches from the base, then
Scraped across the cut to remove bits
of compressed wood which might stop
the capillary action of the cells. The
tree treated so will absorb water in
surprising amounts. AS an extra pre-
caution, the American Forestry Asso-
citation suggests that about one-quarter
of pound of sugar be dissolved In
the water, adding to the solution from
time to time to further nourish the
tree cells. The water about the base
should be kept at a depth Of from
to inches.

U. S. TROOPS IN
HAWAII ILLEGAL

HONOLULU, July 15. = The
United States administration of
Hawaii has recently found it neces-
sary to "create and establish" Q
Hawaii National Guard. Although
the guard was actually in existence
since 1898, when Hawaii fell under
the domination of U. S. imperialism
it was discovered that the regiments
never had legal existence.
When first instituted the Guard
consisted of but one company, but
due to the necessity for protection
it soon grew into five companies
composed of men of thirty races.
The armed forces grew steadily
until figures today shows an en-
listed strength of 1850 men and 101
commissioned officers. The Hawai-
ian National Guard has more men
and officers than the guard of any
other state or territory with an
equal population, having one guards
man to every 157 persons.
By a new order of the War De
partment the forces are to be in
creased even more. They are to have
a force of 3,068 men and officers.
