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

farmer about 75 per cent Lutm.'t.
