higher than in pre-war days, raisins now cost
almost as little as before the war.
Use this luscious, energizing, healthful food
lavishly, therefore, in scores of "plain foods"
like rice pudding, boiled rice, bread pudding,
Indian pudding, and in cake, cookies, pic, and

Mrs. Emily O. Helllg scrnped lint

Civil war and for
more thnn three
years during the
World war worked
In tho surgical
dressing room of
tho American Am
bulance hospital
at Neullly, France.
She Is the oldest
member of tho
American Legion
auxiliary to Purls
post, her son, Ster
ling Helllg, author and newspaper man,
having served with tho American army.
During tho Civil war Mrs. Helllg
took pnrt in the great sanitary fair
at Philadelphia when ladies gave their
sheets, tablecloths and napkins from
which the Hut was unravelled and re
rolled into tons of bandages. There
were no gauze compresses In those
days. These. last, sixty years after her
first war experience, she made at
Neullly. For her work from 101C to
1018 she was awarded two medals by
the French government.
Sho was eighty-two lost April and
In u recent letter to Mrs. Gilbert Jones,

Lemuel Dolles, National Adjutant of
Organization, Points to Enthusi
asm Throughout Northwest.
Swinging from Indlannpolls through
Minnesota to Washington on the Pn-
cillc coast In tho
nor t h w e s t, and
hack through Cal
ifornia, Colorado
and Kansas, ad
dressing a state
convention of tho
American Legion
In on eh of thetlvo
s t n t e s, Lemuel
Hollos, national
adjutant, lias re
turned to head
quarters with
three outstanding
Impressions, as tho result of his trip:
These he catalogued as first, a dis
tinct Improvement In the deliberations
nnd personnel ; second, one type of
American citizen found In each state,
and third, general enthusiasm toward
educational work and community serv
ice, which, of course, Include1 the prop
er care of dlsnbled veterans.
"The crowds looked tho same," ho
said. "Tho men ncted the same. There
Is n distinct type, these Legionnaires.
They look one In the eye. They are
keen and outspoken, self-confident.
They constitute tho Ideal tyi of an
American citizen."
In speaking of the Improvement In
delegations to the state conventions,
care was taken to oxplnln that sub
jects were more clearly dellncd than
In the past, the commit tees stepped
forwnrd with their work In more con
fidence, the machinery ran smoother,
and altogether capable leadership was
asserting Itself, more and more.
An Illustration was given:
"In two states factional fights had
been waged," tho national adjutant
snld. "They threatened to split tho
departments, but those lights never got
to tho floor of tho convention. Tho
troublo was ironed out In conferences.
Leaders made concessions, all for tho
general welfare and progress of the
legion.
"The spirit of the elections was 'not
tho best fellow, but tho best mnn,'
and this keynote was struck in each
of tho five conventions."
"There Is no question but what tho
Legion Is mora elllclent today In Min
nesota, Washington, California, Col
orndo and Kansas than It was n year
ngo," he said.
Paying n tribute to tho Kansas de
partment, ho told of tho American
Legion there tnklng n keen Interest In
the boys of tho state Industrial school,
acting as guardians "and big brothers.
"I was Impressed by the Indepen
dence of the Mlnncsotn Legion," ho
said. "They never have taken n dol
lar from any source. Their depart
ment Is splendidly orgnnlzed. They
are capable of making their own way
without outside aid, and they are do
ing It with n vim."
Soldier settlement work Is n vital
program for the legion In the states
of Washington and California, along
with better citizenship and education
al movements, such as night schools.
Tho American Legion there Is advocat
ing nnd pushing through state recla
mation projects and seeing that for
mer service men are given preference
not only in tho work being done, hut
In the results. In California, soldier
colonies are being established.
Tho determination of the Colorado
legion to see thnt the hospitals for
former service men In that country are
properly maintained wns outstanding,
also tho Legion's declaration that tho
benefits of that department bo confined
to American Legion members only
nnd to tho disabled, always. Along
with this tho point wns made plain
that tho Colorado Legion department
also Is the best friend of the elllclent
hospitals.

MBi Wheat Crops jj
Canada is the world's greatest
nroduccr of wheat Bccond only to
the United States yet only about 12 yo ot
the tillable area has been worked. Yields of 40 bushels of wheat
per acre are not uncommon. Oats have given as IiIrIi ns 100
bushels per acre, while 40 to JO bushels per acre are ordinary
yields; barley and rye in like proportion. Cattlo and horses
thrive on the native trasses which grow abundantly and com
and sunflower culture are highly successful.

Clearing the cost of one's f aim wuh a single year's crop has an
