Announcement that the national de partment of the American legion ia going to build an nrphana’ home for the children of former war veterans was received by members of the • Omaha poet with much enthusiasm. A share of the du«% of each member of the Omaha post, will be given to ward the erection of the proposed home. , •'The Omaha post has always been in favor of such a move," said Com mander Hird Stryker, "and it is just another step in making the American Legion a greater power for good for the ex-#ervice man. and the country a swell. Aa 1 understand the plan, the children of ex-service men, re gardless of membership in the Ameri can Legion, will be taken Into the home. ]x has been the spirit of the legion since Its organisation to fur nish aid for the ex-service man whether he was a member of the le gion or not." "I think it is a wonderful Idea,” said Sum Reynolds, member of the committee In charge of the local post campaign for membership. “The boys are very happy to hear of the decision of the executive committee, ant we will do our part to make the orphan’s home a real honest-to-goodness home for children of our buddies In the ser vice." “I am glad to hear about the plans of the executive committee,” said Wal ter Byrne, past commander of the post. "In the legion's national or phans’ home children of wrar veterans will find a genuine welcome." A part of the money obtained from dues of the members In Douglas I - - county post will be spent In the estab lishment of the orphans’ home. The local poet has launched a campaign for 5,000 members.

Omaha will be promoting its own best interests by encouraging the co operative movement among farmers of this state, according to George H. Stevenson, former president of the Federal I.and bank of Baltimore, ad dressing the Triangle club yesterday noon in Hotel Fontenelle. "The co-operative idea among farm ers means better prices for their products and htat means more busi ness for Omaha,” Mr. Stevenson said. "It is important that argrlcul ture shall be considered the fundamen tal industry of Omaha and of this state. There should be co-operation between Omaha and the agricultural interests. This co-operation should not be limited to the loaning of money, but should assist farmers in obtaining advantageous outlets fftr their products. "The total farm mortgage Indebted ness in this country In 1910 was es timated at $2,750,000,000, and in 192(f at $7,500,000,000. We also must con sider that farm conditions in 1910 were not ab favorable as in 1920. These figures meant that the farm ing industry today is carrying the greatest burden of indebtedness that it has ever had.” Mr. Stevenson, who is a native Ne braskan, recently motored through several farming sections of the state to get the viewpoint of the farmer. He notes improved conditions, due to better prices and also to the ability of the banks to liquidate some of their farm loans. Bee Want Ada produce results.
