10000 SO0 ARE ATTENDING RODED Indians Make Anmual Trip to Berry’s Field Day — White Rivers, 8. D., Aug. 6. (P— Ten thousand Indians and the ablest | riders of the Dakotss bring back the dashing panoply of early days to White River every August at “Tom Berry’s show.” Fifteen years ago Berry, a pros- perous cattleman, state legislator and intimate of the Indian tribes since his childhood, started the White River roundup as a hobby. The event has become one of the | largest rodeo pageants in the west, and more full-blooded Indians par- ticipate 1in it, Berry claims, than gather anywhere else at one occa- sion. From the Rosebud, Pine Ridge and Cheyenne reservations, all in South Dakota. will come the Sioux on August 10, 11 and 12 to help the broncho-busters, cowgirls and steer riders entertain the hundreds from all over the country who crowd yearly into the little town to sce the spectacle. There 13 no artificiality or fakery about Tom RBerry's rodeo, for he has built it up primarily for the folk of the countryside, all of whom know uine prowress from staged “‘stunt. Daring is the funda- mental motive of the frontler day celebratiol and a hundred man- hating “outlaw horses” will be brought from the range this August for the riders to try to conquer. Few of the cowmen are more ex- pert at riding or roping than Berry himself. His capability with a lasso is traditional through all the “west river country.” JOHN ABRAHAMSON I3 VICTIM OF STROKE (Continued from First Page) of which he was a former president; the 100 Men's Soclety, Gota, the Bethesda society of the Swedish | Nethany church, the Fridhem so- ety, Order of Owls and the Swe- sh Bethany church.

Summerall, chief of staif of the United States army, in an address today at the convention of the department of Pennsylvania of the American Le- gion, emphasized 1n¢ need for ad quate national miiitary prepared- ness, and praised the Legion for “its support of that policy. Practical patriotism can be measured, General Summerall as- serted, by the way one assists in the work of preparedness for fu- ture emergencies through the sup- port of the military policy of the nation. “We Americans as a whole de- &ire continued peace, but desiring peace does not insure peace,” he sald. “History shows that wars de- scend upon nations that do not de- | sire them, while rarely has war, been forced upon a strong nation | ready for war. “Human experience shows con- clusively that weakness, not strength, invited aggression. No one can show that any one of our wars was caused by our military forces. Our armies have always been raised after the people through thelr rep- resentatives in congress, had rec- ognized a state of war forced upon us by an enemy. “Since 1920 we have had for the first time in our history a real military policy. The national de- fense act has given us a plan whereby our highly skeletonized, partly trained military organization can be expanded to combat strength.” % Pennsylvania Personals —______J Mr. and Mrs. Fred H.

It appears that the $2,000,000 proposed Sewer Bonds meets, as an issue, the ap- proval of a selgct few, of the Inner Circle, and no others; yet that few wishes to involve the city in a mat- ter which has not been fully con- sidered, by them. In opposition to this bond issue, and representing a large body of overburdemed tax-pay- ers, George A. Quigley has asked the privilege of the floor of the Com- mon Couccil, to give the City Gov- ernment the benefit of exhaustive study of the subject of sewage dis- posal—a study that took him to numerous cities and many experts. Besides this, while Mayor, Mr. Quig- ley made a consclentious investiga- tion>of the best obtainable authors | on the subject: and is probably bet- ter qualified, than any other per- son in New Britain. But whether Mr. Quigley is the last word upon the subject of sewers, or not, he was this city’s mayor; and since he was con- fronted by the same problems, which he was big enough to make a real effort to solve, his opinions should be sought. But the highest claim to | the right to be heard is in the fact that Mr. Quigley is a citizen who is trying to tell a government of citi- zens, by citizens, ostensibly for. citi- zens, something of value to all citizens. The acting Mayor has in- dlcated that the business of the pub- lic is to pay and not to say. Not long ago, In another matter then before the public the Mayor asked why popular action was not commenced before money had been appropriat- ed, indicating that the city govern- ment might have listened had such been the case; but now, there looms before us, the very attitude to which I at that time adverted, “To Hell with the Public.” If we try to tell the Council what we want, in time, the Council informs us that, “What we do is none of your business,” but if we are late, that is the excuse. At that time I pointed out that our charter has no provision per- mitting citizens to direct their gov- ernment, and seems irresistably drawn towards large public expendi- tures, despite public need, and pub- le protest. We sometimes wonder if all is as it should be. If the city should be so fortunate as to sell the $2,000,000 sewer bonds at 4 per cent the interest alone would be $80,000 a year. Should these bonds be pay- able In forty years, which would be a reasonable time for their retire- ment this would mean the payment on principal of $30,000 per year. With interest the total payment would be $180,000 or about 1 1-5 mills on the present grand list. It the Water department issues $5,- 000,000 in water bonds for improved water supply which is felt by some citizens to be necessary at this time, the water rates with interest on the said bonds, 2ud bond payments, will cause the watcr rates to be increased amount as to render them almost prohibitive. 1 hear | many who feel that the above que: tions have not been sufficiently con- sidered to warrant such expense, e pecially the question of sewage dis- posal. Experts declare that, until a satisfactory solution of the factory sewage, with all its chemicals, is found, an expenditure of $2,000,000 saddled on to the city would be ag | | injustice, without relieving the sit- | uation. It is more and more appar- ent that we should endeavor to re- instate, in our charter, that clause which enables citizens, in times of need, to have an effective voice in our own public affairs; and we should religiously oppose all so- called machine politics. To tho who will take the trouble to think a minute about this matter it will not be difficult to ses the direction in which we are drifting. GEORGE V.
