PAGE EIGHT BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1920 VETERANS MAKE ee eee ai: GOOD FARMERS Shell-Shocked Victints of War Rapidly Become Experts. DIRECTOR PRAISES ~—WORK Take to Food Production Like They Did to Geing “Over the Top’— Transformation of Most of These Former Soldiers Has Been Complete —Own Little Farms y, Connecticut and \ — A number of modest little farms op- erated by veterans of the world war, who have recovered from severe shell shock, gas or wounds, uow dot the states of New Jersey, Connecticut and New York. ‘The owners of these farms, most of them graduates of the New York State School of Agriculture at Farmingdale, L. 1, have been “re habilitated” and are now making good as food producers with the same en- thusiasm that tovk them “over the top” in France. - The transformation of most of these former soldiers who selected farming from among the subjects offered by the federal board for vocational train- {ng in many cases has been a complete metamorphosis of railroad brakemen, plumbers, policemen, mechanics and laborers, One recent graduate of the school was a bartender before the war, and today he owns a thoroughly up-to-date place near ‘Tums Kiver, N. J, Director Praises Work. According to A, A. Jolinson, director of the school, there were 76 federal board men enrolled in June, and a number of these have since graduated. Director Johnson was lavish in his praise of what the soldier-farmers are accomplishing, declaring that not only were they doing their full share in the economic program or their coun- try, but “in a good many cases con- siderably more than others less handl- capped by wounds.” He said they were about equally divided as farm tractor , mechanics, general farmers, poultry ralsers and hog breeders. Archie A. Stone, former nember of the Minnesota legislature, who ts In charge of the work for the govern- ment, and has studied the results of the farm vocational training plan, sald that it is producing results of a defi- nite and permanent character. ‘The students may have both theory and practice at Farmingdale 865 days in the year. Cripples Work: Unhampered, Michael Leddy, who lost an arm at Chateau-Thierry, is specializing in tractor work, and with one hand and a steel hook, drives as straight a fur- row, It 1s sald, as any .two-handed farm boy. A year ago Charles Kupinski, an- other crippled soldier, had never even Mdden in a motor car, Recently, ac- cording to Director Johnson, he re paired a cracked cylinder in a heavy: farm tractor at a saving of nearly | $200 to the school. Other soldier graduates of Farming: dale who are operating farms are Harry F. Cruise at Holbrook, L. L; Edison 8. Smith,-New Canaan, Conn. Elmer ©. Sturtz, Wellersburg, Pa Austin A. Sullivan, Ronkonkoma, and a number of others within 50 miles of New York. BOYS TOOK CRUISE ON LOG Spent Three Days on Lonely Unim- habited’ Stretch of Shoreline. Running away from the parental | home oa Mercer Island, Wash., Henry Knowles and Comfort Harding, two young boys, boarded a log and pniddied more than a mile at night over the % chilly waters of Lake Washington. They landed, on an uninhabited stretch of Lake Washiagton shore line and spent three days in the brush. ‘They had blackened their faces with creosote to escape the guards at the parental home, and a rancher's wife, thinking they were out for a holiday, gave them a can of baked beans and some matches. The. baked beans were all they had to eat during the time they lived their lonely existence. Deputy sheriffs looking for moon- shine stills found the boys aud return- ed them to the home. RESEMBLE ACRES OF LILIES Visitor’s Beautiful Description of the American Cemeteries in France —Exquisite in Uniformity. Though American relatives usually want to plant flowers on the graves of their sons or brothers in the Amer- {can army: cemeteries in France, an army ruling forbidding this has been adhered to. The cemeteries, a uni- form stretch of green grass with white crosses, look like “acres of white lil- ies,” according to Miss Elsie Goddard, @ Wellesley graduate who has returned to this country after having bad super- vision of the Y. W. C. A. rest huts built for the comfort of relatives vis- iting the graves, in four of the Ameri- | can cemeteries in France. “At first every one wants to plant flowers on the grave they love,” says Miss God- dard, “but they soon see that the army Tuling keeps the cemeteries most beau- tiful and impressive because of the uniformity. Cut flowers can be placed on graves and flowers can be planted in the flower beds near by, but not on the graves. The French people who are eager to decorate the graves in some parts are often surprised at this ruling, but our cemeteries, as cared for, are wonderfully impressive. Aft- ter visiting them few Americans want to take the bodies of their boys home, theugh they have been determined to do it before they came.” The Y. W.

In 1909, when the Roosevelt exped!- tion went to; Africa on the greatest of all safaris, by the dropping out of the professional photographer, Ker: mit Roosevelt suddenly was thrust into the position of. official photog: rapher to the expedition, 1 viewed this arrangement with many misgivings— because it qwas a task for maturity and long experience—but the young man made good. He made good 100 per cent, not only with the big game rifle, but in wild animal photography as well. Mr. Kermit’s masterpiece Is his best picture of a whole herd of elephants in a high but rather open forest, WI! Nam Hornaday writes in Scribner's The light was none too good, but’ for: | tunately it was good enough, This real achievement was: scored from a perch eon a low limb of: a tree, conventently placed to drop the intervening brush out of view. Five tuskers appear in the front line, and the elephants are massed together in the composition as neatly and perfectly as if the hand of man had grouped them to get’ all the flankers into the picture. Col. Theodore Roosevelt was very proud of this picture, and so were the editors of Scribner's magazine and the “African Game Trail” book. IMPRISONED BEAR DEALT WITH THREATENED FLOOD. —How intelligent a bear may 3 be is well illustrated by an oc- count published by M. Baudouin In the Bulletin of the French Societe ‘Nationale d’Acclimata- tion of a brown specimen that lives in the Jardin des Plantes, Paris. 4 gual The bear had noticed that whenever there was a heavy fall of rain the lower part of his den was flooded snd the orlfice by which the water flowed out was obstructed. Whenever this happened he profited by: the oc- 3 casion to take a good bath, This: ¥ finished, he: used to go to the outlet and scrape away the de- bris that had stopped {t up, un- til the water flowed out and his home was dry. But once, in an exceptionally heavy flood, the water rose through the hole from outside. The bear tried his usual method of getting rid, J of the water, but, finding this useless, sat down to think over the new situation, Presently an idea came to him. A lot of rocks had been thrown intg his den in an effort’ to raise the level of the floor and. give him dry quarters. He studied these rocks attentively, and then began carrying them one by one % to the place where the water % was entering. He tried with these stones to build a dam against the increasing water. After the water receded it was discovered that the bear had placed twenty rocks, weighing from. twenty to forty pounds each, i Alaska has only one representative in Congress and he has no vote.

Townley, ‘in bankruptcy, has been decided by the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals, of St. Louis, holding that fraud against creditors by Townley was not shown, according to information re- ceived here. The. decision was not unexpected. It followed a long fight through the referee in bankruptcy, the United States district court and the court of appeals. Townley owed credito.;s about $80,000 following failure in his flax plunges in the western part ot the state. A new angle was thrown in the case this week, when J. R. Waters charged that Townley engaged him to promote the Sisal trust and ip fact owns a large part of it. This nart of the case was‘not included in the record before the circuit court of appeals. The case may be reopened by. the filing of new‘ complaints.
