" Secretary Baker, General Squires id. Howard Coffin of the Council of National Defense, the leaders of the movement to put 28,000 fliers in France, are all enthusiastic_over the proposals submitted to them by I B. Dunlap of Kansas -City and Holfhes Hall of Sedalia for use of the state fair grounds. They studied the plot of the grounds and byjldings carefully and said with very little al- teration they would be ready for the flying school and the government saved expense and time in building‘a new ground. Establishing new fly- ing grounds have cost as much as 1 1-2 million dollars, so the Missouri proposition was seized upon eagerly. Maj. Benjamin F. Foulois, the old- est aviator in the army service, will head the inspection committee. He will be accompanied by several for: eign, aviators. They will inspect not so much the grounds as the terri- tory around Sedalia as suitable to teaching the young fliers. What the government wants is not “easy, ait,” but a variety in conditions. One of the questions upon which emphasis was laid was “How far will the fliers have to go to reach high hills, or even the- outskirts of the Ozarks?” If the inspection board makes a favorable report, the government will accept the proposition. If the gov- ernment establishes the school before the state fair this fall it will pay all expenses the fair board has incurred to date. However, the school may not be under way until after the fair. MOBILIZING THE GUARD ens te. Troops Being Sent to Camp, Preparatory to War Service. Washington, July 16.—Mobi of the. national guard for war service began today. While no orders for nbarkation of state troops —{ France will be_given until after “Aug- fust 5, when the entire force will for- fmally be drafted into the United States army, there are indications that some divisions will be regarded as ready to board transports soon af- ter that date. The first clause of President Wil- ‘son's proclamation -providing for the federalization of the national guard for the war became effective yester- day. Under it all guard units from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min- esota, Iowa, North and South Da- kota and Nebraska went on the fed- eral pay roll from that date. Actual concentration of troops in their home forces or state camps be- gan today. Approximately one-half of the total strength of the national guard, or more than 125,000 men, is included in the force assembling. Full campaign equipment. will be issued at the big camps, reducing the amount of material to be transported with the troops. Supplies at divisions are being concentrated in the depots established in the South to feed the guard units, : Rapid progress is being made in relieving guard regiments which have been in the federal service since the declaration of war guarding proper- This work will be taken over civilian watchmen, It will be necessary to retain guards- men to protect big munition works and other property vital to the war. Department commanders will hold such troops as they deem advisable for that purpose. The most serious shortage of war equipment for the guard is in the ar- tillery, For training jpurposes the big gun regiments undoubtedly will continue to use the equipment they have, supplemented by such addition- MARY HART, 39-4t Executrix.

Jefferson City, July 12—The War Department notified Governor Gard- ner today that the President has ap- pointed these Missourians jfor the five district examination boards un- der the federal law, each constitut- ing a board of appeal for the counties in its district: No. 1. Western district—Matthew Hall, Marshall; Charles A. Sumner, Kansas City; Frank Blake, Kansas City; Dr. F. H. Matthews, Liberty. No, 2. Western district—M. j. Murphy, Springfield; Henry Lamm, Sedalia; Dr. Cotrez Enloe, Jefferson City; A. T. Nelson, Lebanon; G. F. Newburger, Joplin. No. 1. Eastern district—Owen Mil- ler, St. Louis; Samuel Rosenfield, St. Louis; A. L. Shapleigh, St. Louis; Dr. A. C. Robinson, St. Louis; Sel- den P. Spencer, St. Louis. No. 2. Eastern district—B. F. Brown, Hagnibal; Dr. G. L. Mc- Cutehan, Canton; Edward Higbee, Kirksville; Lloyd Stark, Louisiana; Samuel Sharp, Montgomery City. No. 3. Eastern district—Dr. G. S. Cannon, -Fornfelt; C. S. Defield, East Prairie; C..O. Briggs, Dexter; Jesse M. Garrett, Flat River; Almon Ing, Poplar Bluff. ke the Bates edalia has offered fo Tease enoug! ground adjoining the fair ground to make a flying ground of about twelve hundred acres. The government, if it accepts the proposition, will make all the altera- tions in buildings at its own expense and at the,close. of the war restore the buildings to their present shape and condition. Seventy airplanes would be kept at the Sedalia school, making it one of the largest camps. The fliers, after their preliminary training, would make flights over Central Missouri. In six months it may be common for Missouri towns for one hundred miles around Sedalia to see airplanes over- head, : If the school is established at Se- dalia the government will open spe- cial recruiting offices in Kansas City and probably St. Louis for the avia- tion section. It would be the plan to get all fliers at the school from the vicinity. The University of Missouri also may be inspected shortly as a possi- ble aviation school. Before the aviators go to camp they must spend three months in an engineering camp where aviation courses are given. There are six such schools now, each with one hundred pupils. The engineering school at the University of Missouri if Sedalia gets the flying ground, may be selected for such teaching. “T feel confident that a favorable report will be made on the Sedalia proposition,” Mr. Dunlap said. “The War Department officials are enthus- iastic over it.” Mr. Dunlap and Mr. Hall will stop off at the flying grounds at Dayton, O., on their return trip, ‘at the sug- gestion of the government, to sce just what is needed at a flying school. TO CALL HOME GUARDS IN MISSOURI Gov. Gardner in Proclamation Will Urge Formation of Defense Companics. Jefferson City, Mo, July 14.—A proclamation will be issued next week by Gov. Gardner calling. for the or- ganization of Home Guard com- panies throughout the State under a plan: being worked out by Brig. Gen. Harvey C. Clark, commander of the National Guard and Adjt. Gen. J. H. McCord. The formation of companies will be under the National—Guard law, the Governor will be commander in chief. and officers will be commis- sioned as in organizations of Nation- al Guard units. : : The companies will be armed, uni- formed ard otherwise .equipped by the Federal Government. hich men to preserve quell disturbances: may be organized —the posse: comitatus, summoned by the Governor or. Sheriffs, police re- The Governor hopes to have offi- js under peace and spare. It is regarded as certain, how- ever, that if the guard divisions are sent to France at an early date they Pa be equipped with French artil- ery on their arrival there. Presum- ably their first war work will be with the famous French “75's.” Departure of the guardsmen for France, it was indicated today, will he governed by the shipping problem. \War Department officials regard many divisions of state troops as ready now for the intensive training behind the fighting line in France, which will prepare them for their place in the trenches, There is no reason why some elements could not go forward at once, except lack of transportation and the submarine menace. : Going to Nevada? Of Course. Why? Because Nevada is planning on a big day for every one that comes to Radio Springs Sunday. July 22, 1917. They have made arrangements for the Butler Concert Band to come down on the noon train and give a concert in the auditorium in the af- ternoon and one on the island in the Lake in the evening. There is one Hundred ad thirty-two acres of beau- tiful groves, lakes, springs, flowers, fifteen acres of best swimming in the state. Pure white sulphur water, fine fishing and plenty of boats and canoes, A vast amount, of money has been spent in making this Park a picturesque resort, so no better place can be found to spend an inexpensive Sunday afternoon and evening. The admission to the Park will only be ten cents, which includes a ticket to the comcert. The \Butler Band is boosting this day in Bates County and have requested all who intend to go down by rail to notify Lloyd Gaines, and those who go in auto- mobiles to notify Frank Ream. This is done to see if such a day is successful in all that it is intended. Let's show Nevada people that_we appreciate their efforts and all go down and make it the biggest day of our sweet young lives. Don't stay at home for if you do you will surely get lonesome. RENEWED TESTIMONY No one in Butler who suffers back- ache, headaches, or kidney and blad- der ills can afford to ignore this But- ler woman’s twice-told story. It is confirmed testimony that no Butler tesident can doubt, Mrs. John Stewart, 407 Vine St., “T had Kidney trouble and theumatic twinges for about a year.
