ca RED OLOtJD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF & M T5fie AMERICA u mssok (Copy for This Department Supplied by tlio American Legion New Hervlcu.) REALIZE VALUE OF LEGION Vlctlma of Arkansas City (Kan.) Flood ' Appreciate Aid Rendered by i Ex-Servlce Men. I Citizens of Arknnsns City, Knn., realized the vuluu of nn nctlvc post of the Aniurlcnn Legion during the re cent flood disaster which destroyed many lives and caused millions of dol- ' lars in property dumiigo to coiuinutil tics in southern Kunsiis. With the town placed under whnt approximated martini luw, members of the Shelton Heuty post of the Le gion assumed u task that only men with military training could master. Tho duty was to act In conjunction with the city authorities to obtain obedience of laws formulated hurried ly for the benefit of the town and to guard the flooded area from the pil laging of unscrupulous persons who Hocked to the stricken district to loot what the water had left. An organization was formed In short order by the Legionnaires and n cor don of guards was thrown about the water front. Guard shifts were chosen from 1123 volunteers, who performed this task for three nights until the flood abated. A baltery of field artil lery of the National Gunril, called out with the start of the flood, was In the midst of a drive for recruits, and It )vus necessary for Legionnaires to fill the depleted ranks of the organization lo save Its members from the strain of night and day service. The Legionnaires' members had un derwritten In part a guarantee to a Chautauqua company before the dlsns ter occurred. Communicating with Chautauqua ofllclals they obtained re lease from their contract and an offer from the company to stage tho pro gram for the benefit of the flood relief fund. Now the veterans propose to co-operate In plans to be formulated by civic organlzntloim working toward tcpalr of damogo caused by the flood mil for permanent relief to persons who lost their homes and property. 0. f) MEMORIAL TO ALL WAR DEAD Structure In Oakland, Cat., Also to Contain Names of Heroes of Allied Nations. A majestic memorial to the dead of the World war, destined eventually to contain tho names of the war dead of every allied nation, has been erected In Oakland, Cnl., ns the personal con tribution of IV. Leroy P. Ilerrlck. Al ready the names of Sl,Jt24 American heroes have been placed In the crypt, and records from other nations will be seoled In the vault as they are re ceived. The memorial has been erected In tho Allied Memorial Center on tho hanks of Lake Merrltt In Oakland. Doctor Ilerrlck, who for the past 30 years has been a practicing physician In Oakland, paid the entire cost of the memorial, a structure of steel and stone, a in i will maintain It. It has been his ambition since 1010 to erect such a memorial, and his unique plans for recognition of the heroism of the dead have won commendation. Special ceremony has marked the placing of each list, participated in by the American Legion and other vet erans' organizations. Doctor Herrlck plnns to murk citch day made historical by World war events with some such ceremony. He expects to receive the Canadian list next, which will be followed by the Australian und New Zealand rolls. Much delay Is anticipated In obtaining the lists of tho 1,500,000 war dead of Prance, and for the complete lists of England, Belgium and other allies. The monument has portraits of Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt and Wilson carved In the stone, and tho whole Is surmounted by an American eagle. WINS COOLIE LABOR BATTLE f.merlcan Legion In Queens County,- New York, Obtains Deportation of Imported Workmen. The coolie labor question has always Aeon considered as one affecting tho Pacific coast alone. Hut this is not the case, according to recent newspaper Accounts. Had It not been for a post of tho American Legion, such cheap labor notild be turning out goods In a Long Island (N. Y.) factory. For u long time tfn hundred Chinese had been employed In certain factories In Long Island City, but tho Legion in Queens county, headed by the Bliss vllle post, brought pressure to bear on tho federal authorities so that they swooped down on these factories, ar rested the men, and placed them on 12111s Island, where they were later to be deported. This nctlon by government ofllclals culminated a year's fight by the for mer sorvlce men, in the face of ad vemo circumstances. NewBpnper col umns were closed to this gross viola tion of tho federal law, but the dnunt less Legion men kept hummerlng away until their point wub carried and tho men were on their way out of tho country. WORKER FOR LEGION BUDDIES Robert G Slntmona, Nebraska Con gressman, Has Done Muh for Ex-Servlce Men. Itobcrt 0. Simmons, congressman from Nebraska, Is a democratic sort of ii chap, and doesn't hesitate to tell nbout It. Me keeps n llolsteln cow, drjves n popular touring car, and hob nobs with his neighbors, particularly those who are membeis of the Amer ican Legion In his home town of Seotsbluff, Neb., where ho has tnudu his way up t the position he now holds. Simmons was born In a sod bouse on n western Nebraska homestead, sixty miles from u rnllroad. Ills early life was like that of any young fcter of the western country. Ho bad to help earn his wny by farm labor, Robert G. Simmons. Janitor work, messenger duty and odd Jobs. When he attended college at Hastings he mowed lawns, washed dishes and tended funiates to pay bla expenses. He entered the military service In 1017 at Tort Omaha, Neb., as a prl sate first class, but when discharged In 1!)1S, had been elevated to the rank of second lieutenant, air service. Mr. Simmons Is n lawyer, and was county attorney at the time of his enlistment. He. served one term as commander of the Nebraska department of tho Antni-ii-nn T.PL'lon. ilurlnt: which time certain legislation favored by the Le- glon was successfully enacted. He was active In securing tho passage of a law establishing u !?2,000,000 endow ment fund, income from which Is ex pended by tho American Legion In the state for the benefit of needy ex service men. Interest in the affairs of the ex-service men of tho nation is n deep concern of the Nebraskn congressman and he expects to devote n great deal of time to the Legion's program for relief of disabled. PLAN TO TEACH AMERICANISM Illinois Legion Commander Arranges for Broad Campaign During School Vacation. F.very school child In Illinois will heor n weekly message of American ism dining the school year, according ! to announced plans of the Illinois de- partment of Uie American Legion, in accepting an outline of work from , Conunnnder Charles W. Schick of that . state. I Communder Schick plans that every 1 Legion post In the state's 102 counties I will assign certain members of the or 1 ganlzatlon to speak In each school 1 room in the cities and each school in country districts every week during the school year, carrying a message of better citizenship to the youth of America. 1 In this manner the Illinois Legion man believes that such careful train ing aiming toward a better understand ing of rights and privileges of citizen I ship will result In rapid assimilation of aliens In the state as well as assist ing in raising the standard of citizen ship of those already In possession of these rights. Co-operation by members of the Le- glon with churches and other agencies In preparing citizens for naturaliza tion Is included In Commander Schick's plans. Prospective citizens will receive thorough training in the requirements for naturalization, bc that the applicant will be familiar with American history and institutions before the final papers are awarded. Uecause church Hfo is closer to the home it is hoped that the Legion, working through tho various denomt nations, may realize on this plan fa citizenship. El Paso to Welcome Veterans. Legionnaires who travel to San Frunelsco for the annual convention of tho American Legion, may pass through El Paso, Tex., where a recep tion awaits them. The local Legion post started the Idea, which was Joined In by the El Paso Chamber of Com merce, army ofllclals and railroads en tering the city. A feature of the visit of each delegation will be n Bhort trip Into old Mexico, across the Interna tional bridge into Juarez. Automobiles will be furnished for this trip. Tho in vltatlon holds good for either tho com ing or going trips of tho Legion travelers, or both, according to the El Paso committee. Only Auxiliary Baseball Team. Members of the American Leglotx 1 auxiliary in Stanton, la., are believed to have formed the only baseball team composed of woniftn relatives of for mcr service men. A challenge to the team of uny other unit has been made I by the Stanton nine. . m . A) Corn Silage as Feed for Horses Under Certain Conditions Varieties of Molds Are Deadly Poisons. (Prepared by the I'lilteil State Department uf Agriculture.) Silage Is a safe and useful feed for horses and mules If proper care Is ex ercised In making and feeding It, says the United States Hrpaitment of Ag riculture. There are certain precau tions, however, which must be taken If success Is to be secured In the feed ing of silage to this class of stock. Horses and mules are peculiarly susceptible to the effects of molds, aud under certain conditions arlctlcs of mold are found In silage which are deadly poisons to both horses and mules. Such molds are the result of either the Improper cutting or pack ing of the silage or both. .Molds must have air to grow anil, therefore, silage which is packed air-tight and fed out rapidly will not become moldy. If the feeder watches the silage carefully as the weather becomes warm, he can soon detect the presence of mold. When mold appears the feeding should be stopped Immediately. Similarly, care should be exercised In the winter feeding of silage, so that the horses or mules are not allowed to eat frozen Rilage because of the danger of colic, which generally follows such practice. Corn Silage Favored. Com silage Is the only kind that so far hie met with any degree of fnor as a hor.se ami mule feed. Corn which is to be ens-lied for use as a horse and mule feed should not be cut too green, as sour silage will re sult, ami this may cause colic when fed. Corn for such feed, rather, should be cut wnen It bus begun to glaze and the silo should be tilled a rapidly as possible, once the ensiling process has been started. In tilling the silo It Is essential that the corn be carefully and thoroughly tramped and packed. This Is one of the most important points In connection with the feeding of silage to horses aud mules. Cutting the silage line aud In lengths less than one Inch will facili tate packing. If tramping and pack ing is properly done no feeding dan ger Is apt to result, but If It Is lin I properly done air pockets may form ' and cause tho accumulation of n small mass of mold which, If over looked In feeding, may be sulllclent to kill one or more of the animals fed. Substitute for Hay. In feeding, silage should not be con sidered as the principal roughage for horses and mules, but rather should serve as a partial substitute for bay In the dally ration. Iteciiuse of Its bulky nature, horses and mules doing hard work should not be fed large nuuntltlcs of silage, but duo to Its Invnt I i'ii lotilf. mill nimnt lyliit. nlViw't j it Is we'll suited for the maintenance In f idle horses and mules, brood mares and growing stock. When used, silage should be Introduced gradually Into the ration and the amount fed should generally not exceed 10 to 13 pounds daily per animal. Boys' Pig Clubs Growing in Popularity in West J When the Colorado club boy's pig rrows Into a fat hog lie finds a good mnrket at the Western National Live i Stock show, beginning with 1021, the exhibiting and sale of fat hogs fed by . club boys following the methods ad- vocated by extension workers and shipped co-operatively In carload lots, has been one of the features of this fIiow. Last year four carloads were exhibited by these young stockmen, ac cording to reports to the United States Department of Agriculture, and later auctioned off. Two airloads of straight Duroc-.Ter.seys, one cur of Poland Chinas, and one car of mixed Poland Chinas and Durncs were Included. The carload receiving first prize sold for the highest price paid for any carload In the entire show and the other three, brought top prices. Sweet Clover Superior for Building Up Soil Sweet clover Is truly a wonderful plant, und has done more for the up building of poor, worn-out soil than nny other plant. It Is a wonderful soil builder, u soil renovator, and a splendid pasture crop, and while It Is making an abundance of feed It is building up the soil to a greater ex tent than Is possible for nny other crop to build up the soil. The poorer the soil the more thrifty grows tho swept clever plant It seemingly being n floil-glven soll-bullder for the depleted soils of the country. Plaster Silo Inside to Prevent Juices Leaking Cement stave, cement block nnd clny tile silos should all he well plastered on the Inside to prevent the. Juices from leaking out through tho mortar Joints. Two coats of rich cement mortar should be used In most cases. If tho Juices of the silage get Into the mor tar Joints and freeze there Is apt to be trouble. Destxiiction of Trees by Fires Is Criminal Save tho trees. Grow more trees. Plant tree and watch It grow Into money while you sleep. It takes many years to grow a big tree, but It only takes a few minutes to destroy It by fire. The destruction by forest fires Is criminal. Some way should be de veloped to prevent this colossul wast. Circulatory System of Cow Illustrated To Show DilTercnec in Pro teins Provided by Feeds. (Prepared Ii) the t'nltril Stnt. tx-pnrtniptil nf Aerlcutturc ) The circulatory system of the cow, with "blood" actually flowing throug'i the arteries and veins, will be Illus trated In a model to bo shown by the United States Department of Agricul ture at the national dairy show to he held this fall at Syracuse N. Y. In the large model now being made by the olllee of exhibits liquids will circulate through glass tubes of vari ous sizes, Illustrating how nourish ment Is taken up from the digestive tract and carried to the udder, there to be used In the manufacture of milk. One of the objects of this visual method Is to show the difference In the proteins provided by various feeds. The cow model will be de signed to show how the proteins of the feed are broken up by the di gest ivu s.stcm Into the constituent amino adds, which are transported In the blond stream to the mamillary glanil (the udder), where the neces sary amino acids are taken out of the blood and built up Into proteins of the mil!;. I'.y means of this exhibit the De partment of Agriculture hopes to bring out forcibly that It Is not only neces sary to hac In the ration proteins furnishing certain kinds of amino ileitis, but In order to prevent waste It Is necessary that the amino acids he present In the right proportion. This means It Is necessary to liu is the right combination of proteins in the feed. The use of proteins in mak ing milk ma? be compared to the use of boards in Gliding a house. Hoards of various lengths are needed In u house. In building up milk many different amino uclds are needed, and Usually these cannot nil be obtained from the protein of one kind of feed, or at least not In the proper propor tions to prevent waste. Sell Direct to Consumer, Most Profitable Method Selling direct to tho consumer Is gcnerallj considered the most prollt tible method of disposing of high grade goods, for the charges of mid dlemen are eliminated. The producer Is often so situated that he can build up a retail trade among the families of n ne'ghboring city or village, de livering his goods direct to the cus tomer once or twice a week, or oflener If desirable. In this way he can usually secure a substantial Increase , ovcr nrIt.(.H ,,,! jn llin 0,t.n mrket, Tills Is especially true In the case of strictly fresh eggs. It Is also often possible to secure customers In a city that Is within reasonable shipping dis tance, expressing to them a stated amount of eggs and dressed poultry at regular Intervals (once or twice a week). Hotels, restaurants, and clubs are good customers, which can be supplied In this way by contract. Pure Strain Selections of Potatoes Win Favor According to reports received by the United States Department of Agricul ture, tests made In New York state under the supervision of Cornell uni versity show that pure-strain selec tions of potatoes are much superior to those ordinarily grown by farmers In that section. The pure-strain se lections were developed from a single tuber and were subjected to a two year commercial test on several farms where they were grown side by side with the farmers' own selection. Tho average of all the tests for the two years showed an advantage of -18 bush els to the acre In favor of the pure strain over the ordinary kinds grown on these farms. All the soil and cul tural conditions were the same on each farm for the pure stiuln and the others. Roaming Turkeys Devour Many Harmful Insects After tho turkeys begin to roam, widely, complaints may be exported from neighbors In regard to damogo done to crops. The grower ought not to be Indifferent to tho trespassing of his birds, but It is n fact, neverthe less, that such losses are rarely se rious. Turkeys care little, apparently, for most kinds of growing or ripening grain and do not like to pass through standing grain. It Is the belief of careful observers that the good they do In destroying Insects vastly ex ceeds tho toll they take. Caponize Few Cockerels for Holiday Season Use Caponize n few cockerels for home uso during the holiday season nnd early spring when the roosters are too tough to cook and the bens are laying. Cockerels that are worth but llttlo on the mnrket now us springs can ho caponlzed and kept on tho free range nt little cost until they weigh from eight to ten pounds. They excel all other kinds of poultry for ronstlnj purposes. Stock Breeder Without Silo Badly Handicapped This Is u competitive world and competition requires tho uso of tho silo. Tho stock-keeper without a silo Is handicapped; he Is losing from 25 to JW per cent of tho profit of his en terprise. A silo Investment pays a farmer about 75 per cent Lutm.'t.
