Because of being forced down here, the cross-continental trip was aban- doned. MacReady and Kelly bor- d planes from the Fort and pro- d to MeCool Field at Dayton, their headquarters, leaving at 10:50. “Engine trouble” murmured Lt.

Gen- eral Aultman, post commandant, was rushed to, the field by automobile and congratulated -MacReady and Kelly. on their record breaking flight. “We encountered head .winds all the way,” Lt. MacReady _stated. Last night they were particularly bad. Then there were: showers and riding was bumpy. We had to re- duce our speed after we left Tucum- cari, New Mexico. We experienced much difficulty-. “It was a great deal colder than we anticipated, but we didn’t suffer much. Our fuel is holding out pretty well and we started with 725 gallons of gasoline, and I believe that was enough to have ‘carried us through to New York. “But our engine burned out be- cause we had to fight head-winds, which made an exira haul on it-4 (By United Press) Indianapolis, Nov. 4—John Mac- Ready, chief pilot of the P-2 which broke the world’s distance flight rec- ord in endeavoring a transcontinént al flight now stands out as the army’s premier aviator. The youthful MacReady now holds three world aviation records, excell- ing all other aviators in altitude, duration and distance flights.

The statement which is brief, follows: On fthe Sunday after Armistice Day, Noyember 12, many churches will pay’ tribute of gratitude and honor to those who laid down their livés in the World War. Their cour- age and - unselfishness, their spirit | of sacrifice, are a heritage that time can never dim. How shzll we honor them most? By dedicating ourselves -anew to the task of ending war. These' men whom we remember on Armistice Day did not_glorify war. They loathed and hated it. . i Multitudes of them went forth to their death inspired by the hope that they were doing something to rid the world, once for all, of the hor- ror of war. To such men we bring a tribute of real_prnise only as “we take inereased devotion to ... that cause for which they gave the last full méasure of devotion.” In every chuich .on Armistice Sunday let us confess our sin in héving been so long content with the method” of competitive armament d fratricidal strife. . From every - on Armistice’ “Sunday let our united prayers arise that war may really be benished from the earth. From every pulpit let the message be declared that a Christian method of settling all-international disputes through the development of perma- nent international cooperation and the building up of internatioal law and -courts of justice, can and must be found.

REPUBLICAN RALLY IS FAIRLY WELL ATTENDED Approximately 400 interested voters attended the. Republican ral- 1y held at the new armory Friday eve ening, at which Ex-Governor Samuel Van Sant and Fred Hadley, publish- or of the Winnebago City Enter- prise, were the principal Speakers. { Each of these men gave a very in- teresting talk regarding state politics and encouraged the support of the entire state Republican ticket from Keliogg on down. The Bemidji Boys band 'paraded the downtown ' streets and gave a concert at the armory preceeding | the opening of the speaking pro- gram. This rally, the second to be held here by the Repamblicans this year, is the last call before election rext Tuesday. Arrangements for the rally were made by E. B.

Mr. Van Sant and Mr. Hadley have spent the past month in the in- terests of the Republican party, vis- iting a large number of the smaller /| cities throughout _the state, urging the election of thé Republican ticket | throughout, Asked to Dedicate Themselves | Roger Babson ‘5in l;imediute Effects 'of Election Will Not Be Important ° DOES NOT ANTICIPATE OVERTHROWAL OF G. O. P. Declares Any Growth Founded Upon Government Favor Must Be Precarious Wellesley Hills, Mass., Nov. 4—In our interview this week with Roger . Babson, the question of what effect 1he Congressional elections will have upon business, brought from him the following statement. 4 “]'see one interesting issue in the Congressional slections namely, the number of new Radical members sent to Congress. Those of us in the East do not understand the viewpoint of our_ western people, hence, fow ave awake to the great change which is coming about in our political line- up: - Throughout the present gemer- ation, the contest has been between the Republicans and Démocrats. The days of this alignment, however, are numbered.. Both of the old parties have suffered extensive changes. At least by 1928 and perhaps by 1924, a real contest.may be waged between the so-called. Conservatives on the one side, and the So-called Radicals on the other. “By ‘Radical’ I do not refer to the 1. W. Wis or .any group commonly known as Bolshevists. The new Rad- jeal party: will be more like the Bull ‘Moose party of 1916 The Conser- vative group will represent a com- bination of both - Republicans and Demoerats who are opposed to the extreme measures of the other group. The elections Tuesday will serve to show to what extent this new align- ment is taking shape. “Ag to_the immediate effects of the elections they should not be im- portant unlesg the Republican major- ity in Congress should be overthrown. 1 do not, however, expect such an event. “After all,” continued Mr. Babson, “most of us business nfen:worry a great desl more over politics than we should. Everybody today is look- ing to Washington for a présent. Nine-tenths of all the important bills before Congress this year weTe de- signed to help some one group—us- welly at the expense of the others, Farmer and Labor demands, railroad financing, state roads, soldiers’ bonus and the tariff fight were a few ex- amples. This stampede to the Gov- ernment for assistance is one of the pestilences which always follow a war. The same mania developed af- ter the Civil War. From'1865 to 1870 bankers and businessmen spent more energy lobbying Congress than dveloping their own business.

However, Miss Blanche Dogg. violin- ist, gave admirable seléctions be- twecn each act of the reading by Miss Williams. Mrs.®Budge assist- ed Miss Dodge at the piano. Miss Williams presented “Mad- ame Butterfly” in a very capable manner, holding,_her hearers intent upon the theme wof this tragic story fom beginning to*end.

Bridgemnl’l, candidate for the state senate,-returned Fri- day from International Falls, where he spent a few days on business in connection wih his candidacy. “I have been told by my friends” said Mr. Bridgeman, “that Kooch- iching county would almost give me an even break. Such news is too good to be true and I hardiy look for it, but the report is neverthe- less encouraging. It assures me that my opponent is not going to carry away all the votes.” Mr Bridgeman is making an ac- tive campszign in the city and near- by communities and his friends predict his election by a safe ma- jority PACIFIC STOCK SHOW NOW OPEN PORTLAND HOST More Money to be Made in l_’urebred Cattle, Shown By Fine Exhibits ELIMINATION OF SCRUB IS NEARER EVERY YEAR Poultry and Rabbit = Show Is Held in Cmme;fion With Exposition (By United Press) Portland, QOre., Nov. 4—Portland’s voice today :was the voice of the corral. The Twelfth annual Pacific International Livestock Exposition swung open. its, doors today to.the syncopated strains of the “Barn Yard Blues.” Cattle, sheep, swine, horses, dogs, and all sorts and conditions of . do- meaticated - animals are on -display. The fattest and sleekest :bull, the cow giving. the, most milk and :the dairy maid. who. can milk. the most butterfat in a.given length of time, the sheep with more pair of trousers to his back, and the hog polling the plurality in pork chops will be award- ed ribbons and cups. Blue ribbons will flaunt at nightly horse shows. Hens will be given the opportunity to show their egg laying ability. The prettiest dog will be chosen, and the rooster with the loudest.crow -will be given a nice juicy razzberry. The Pacific International is the last and largest of the season’s great stock gatherings on' the Pacific slope. The motive in holding the geat show every year is to show the ultimate consumer what may be done. with §tock by crossing and by pure breecd- ing. The ultimate elimination of the scrub and the future and widespread propogation of pure strain animals are believed to be brought nearer every year, and a show s held to show the uninitiated what progres has been made on hundreds of the nation’s stock costs no more to raise and main- ler shows and the stac fairs held all through the Pacific ¢ountry are gath- ered at Portland and there the cham- pion of champions in each class of each kind of animal ig chosen. Profit to the Grower Growers claim that pure-bred stock cost no more to arse and main- tain than scrub animals of uncertain ancestry. Costing no more, growers claim these pure stock animals give more meat, milk or wool than the scrub animal. Hence the anxicty to breed pure animals and t' ¢ pride in the show displaying what has been done by such 'breeding . The show this year is larger than ever before, and is better balanced.

The work appears to be that of a person familiar with the store, since the hole in the rear door was cut just below the bolt, and the bag of money and checks, customarily hidden in some part of the store each night, was apparently ‘easily located. A small amount of paper money was also taken from the cash register, the bills having been taken from under a bundle of small papers in one compartment of the cash drawer. Included in the amount taken was $110 in checks,' worthless to the ‘thieves, and which were put back in the money bag and tossed into the mail box at the corner of Third Street and Beltrami avenue some- time during the night. This morn- ing in making the rounds for col- lection of mail, Walter Breen and Harold Hurlocker, employees of the postoffice found the sack contain- ing ‘the checks and returned them to Leo Mayer, proprietor of the Mayer Grocery. The alley to the rear of the Mayer Grocery is unlighted and this fact aided the thieves in secluding them selves while boring the holes in the rear door. A section of the door about seven inches square was bored out, allowing a hgnd to slip through and draw back the bolt The loss ' was discovered about 9 o’clock when Mr. Mayer returned to. the store. The police were no- tified at once and are working on the the case. TWO MORE BODIES ARE EXHUMED DURING PROBE Chicago, Nov. 4—Police today ex- humed two more bodies in their search for a second Mrs. Bluebeard as the result of the confession of Mrs. Tilley Klimek, who admitted she .poisoned her last husband. Klimek is in a serious condition at a local hospital. Arsenic enough to kill four men was found in the body of Frank Kupaccgyk, her second husband, whose body was exhumed. The two bodies dug up today were those of Joseph Milkey, first hus- band of Mrs, Klimck and Wojzik Sturmer, husband of Mrs. Mildred Sturmer, who told police she gave Mrs. Klimek.the same poison she gave her three husbands. Police de- clared Mrs. Klimek may have been a student of Mrs. Sturmer. The motive for the poison plot was the collection of insurance, police believe.

St. Paul, Minn,, Nv, 4—Speak- ing on separate platforms within three blocks of each other, Senator Frank B. Kellogg and Senator Rob- ert M. LaFollette last night assailed cach other’s records. Senator Kel- logg was winding up his most inten- sive campaign for election to the senate and Senator LaFollette is speaking in Minnesota in interests of Dr. Henrik Shipstead, Farmer- Labor candidate for Senator Kellog’s seat. While the two semators derated each other, Mrs. Anna Dickey Ole- sen, Democratic nominee, addressed a number of smaller audiences in Minneapolis. LaFollette had the advantage of the large seating capacity of the auditorium. Senator Kellogg and Governo Preus, whose manager pass ed up the Auditorium opportunity under the impression that it wouid be engaged all during music week, took the Garrick theatre. The lower floors and balcony were filled, but the galleries were almost empty. The Auditorium was filled. Nearly 12,000 people heard the Wis- consin solon. “There is a gentleman attacking me ahd my record in' th ‘sehate wha has no claim tq such a record,” said Snator Kellogg. “I am willing,” said Senator Kellogg, ‘‘to have the people of my state judge me by my: record in support of the United States’ government and Senator La- Follette by his record in the United States Senate before and during the war. “Senator LaFollette not..only dis- credited the cause for which the people were fighting, but sneered at Ameican participation in. that war which we waged for humanity,” he said. s Senator LaFolette attacked. Sena- tor Kellogg as the “hireling of cor- porations, by nature a subservient creature, who takes its orders from its masters.” s Senator LaFollette was proud of his war speech delivered in the same place five years ago, which Tesulted”™ in a movment to oust him from the senate. 295, The two meetings were taken as a climax to a bitter campaign for the scnatorship.
