ARTHUR GRAY IS
VICTTM Cd HURTS
In PLANE CRASH

Belated word has reached Great
Falls OF the death Of Arthur c.
Gray, as, world war flyer, who
was employed at the Vosberg mine
near winston. He was buried st
KaIispelI. following his death in
Helena.
Gray came to Montana in 1905
with John r. Ross, now superin-
tendant of the Vosberg mine. In
the war he was a member OF the
210th aero squadron and there
after was for three and a half years
pilot and mechanic with Eddie
Stinson. Gray became a pilot for
the Peruvian government and was
engaged in distributing an In
secticide when he crashed into q
mountain near Lima. Peru. in
1880. He was badly hurt and re-
turned to Montana to recuperate.
With his wife he has been liv-
ing at the vosberg where he has
rendered valuable service as q mec-
hanic. Death came suddenly and
was doubtless fastened by the
old injury.

Crop Reporting Board of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, after investigat-
ing conditions in Minnesota, wired
that with the exception of a narrow
strip along the west central border,
crops have not yet suffered material
damage.
Out Of conferences today and to-
morrow is expected to come pro-
gram of action by the Farm Admins
tration. Principal among its points
will be that promised by Davis-re-
taxation of the prohibition against
planting forage on Government rented
acreage. y
Weather Bureau officials said no
rain had fallen in "a hours in the
North Central States, which have
borne the brunt of drought damage,
and the forecast gave no promise Of
relief for the area.

sages from dairy farmers in the

Government officials insisted-de-
spite the emergency measures-that
peace prevails the country over.
Public opinion appeared generally
to favor the energetic action of the
government under the lead Of Premier
Ulmanis.
One of the first moves Of authorities
today was to run up the Latvian ma
| tional ensign replacing the red nag
which has been flying over the head
quarters Of Rigas Social Democrats.
The army and civil guards backed
up the government strongly in the
precautionary move.
Premier Ulmanis formed the present
government in March after a vote Of
lack of confidence in the Chamber OF
Deputies on Premier Blodniek's cabi-

Why Glen Echo Park Was Built

Glen Echo Park, near Washington, D. C., was built between 40 and 30 years ago as national chautauqua ed ucational center and conducted as such for a number of years. The buildings were made of stone found on the place. There was great amphitheater, hold ing several thousand, in which was housed what was supposed to be at that time the largest pipe organ in the country. The seats circled about the great stage, in the back of which was the organ. The admin ;tration build ing. facing the street. was said to be particularly artistic and beautiful and in it hung set of chimes that could he heard for miles across the country. These were later removed when the venture failed and the place was taken over and opened as an amuse- ment park.

country, in the small towns and in the cities.
 AS might have been expected it was found that farm women work longest, town women not 50 long, and city women the shortest hours of all, but even the latter devote more than 48 hours each week to their house. keeping, on an average.
 There are indications that the labors of housewives are being gradually frightened, however, through the wider employment of electrical and other labor saving equipment in the home. In view of the long hours which they must still give to house. hold tasks, they should be af- forded every possible device for lessening their drudgery.
 Every new item of labor saving equipment installed in the home tends to preserve the beauty, conserve the health, and consequently lengthen the life of the faithful home maker. No better investment can be made by any family.

Why Names "John Buli,"
 "Uncle Sam" Are Used

The term John Bull' as a person. ification of the Englishman orig mated in satirical book published by John Arbuthnot in 1712 and called The History of John Bull" The Dl- rectory of National Biography states that 1t does not seem to be known whether AbuthnOt originated or only adopted this nickname. In this book John Bull is good-natured, bluff, port ly, honest. but hot-tempered farmer. Of the many explanations of the origin of Uncle Sam," the following is the most usually accepted: In the War of 1912 jovial man named Samuel Will son was an army meat inspector. He stamped the casks of provisions with the letters "U. S." and when asked the meaning of these letters he an- swered facetiously that they stood for Uncle Sam," his own nickname. The story spread and soon all the army supplies were known as Uncle Sam's, this becoming a nickname for the fed eral government or for America In gen. eral.

Why Sunday Elections Are Held

Germany. France and several other European countries, as well as several South American countries. hold their elections on Sunday. both because business will be less affected by the necessity of citizens leaving to cast their votes, and because the continen- tai and South American Sunday Is largely day of relaxation and enjoy ment rather than day devoted in it's entirety to religious worship and ob- servance, as was formerly and still is, to some extent. the practice in the United States, Canada and the nations of the British empire.
