.RMY OFFICER TELLS COLORADO STATE LEGISLATURE THAT THE AMERICAN LEGION IS THE GREAT BULWARK IN THE NA- TION'S INDUSTRIAL LIFE

DENVER, Dec. IS. P) Address ing the state legislature this morning General Leonard Wood emphaticaIly declared that one of the greatest things in the nations life immediate Iy following the war is the formation ot the American Legion. that organ ization of men who served in the army or navy during hosulties. He stated that the legion will for years to come be the bulwark in the na- tion's industrial life and, as long as it survives. bolsheyism can never obtain a strong hold on the country.
 General Wood declared that there were several reasons for the general wave of unrest which is sweeping the country but chief among the factors are: The marked indifference of the average American toward the per formance of his civic duties and the willingness of the red aliens and agi- tators to usurp the functioning of local governments in many sections of the country.
 The army officer told the legisla- tors that ninety-fiye per cent of American labor is straight and be Heves firmly in the government but many of them are under radical lead ersbin which arrnjntS for their ac- tions. It is General Woods opinion that one of the solutions of the prob lem now confronting the government is the strict suppression of indis- criminate immigration and he urged, in his speech that steps in this d. rection be taken at once

pep MEETING FOR
GAME SATURDAY,
and Rioters are Planning Send
off for Team on Friday
Night.
GOOD GAME EXPECTED
Fairfield viii Bring Classy Bunch
Here Saturday and Real Clash
May be Ex-
pected.

/ Great preparations are being made
I for the Keokuk- Fairfield football game,
which will be played here Saturday. A
! pep meeting will be held Friday at the
high school, and the plan is to have
| pep talks and stunts, and to have
some of the alumni help out in the
meeting.
The Fairfield game will be one of
the biggest on the local schedule, and
Coach Applebee is giving his men a
good stiff work out this week to get
them ready for the game with the men
from the college town. Fairfield has
the edge over the locals in practice,
in that they have the Parsons college
team to practice against. This always
gives a team a little the edge of
things.
against Quincy and an additional
weeks practice to help them out,
Keokuk may be depended upon to
show up well in Saturdays game.
Local rooters are confident of victory,
and the team is going to have splen-
did backing from the side-lines. The
Purple squad has shown steady i'm.
provement in its work this season, and
should be able to put up brilliant
game against the upstate men.
Some idea of the relative strength of
Keokuk and Fort Madison may be
gained by comparison of the scores
when the teams meet Fairfield. Fort
Madison meets Fairfield two weeks
later, and Keokuk and Fort Madison
will battle here Turkey Day.
Fairfield Is cocky.
That Fairfield is cocky and conf
dent is shown from the following
clipping from a Fairfield paper:
If F. H S. has ever met the Keo-
kuk high school in any kind of a
contest, scholastic or athletic, it was
several years ago. Next Saturday,
however, our team is going to Keo-
kuk to see what that part of the
country has in the way of football
teams. AS this is to ue Keokuk's
first impression of Fairfield, it is up
to us to show them that not all the
football talent in the world lies along
the Mississippi river.
They do say that keokuk is accus-
toned to doing things on a large
scale Well, they're going to lose
football game Saturday, and they
have our permission to do it on as
large scale as they care to. All
they have to do is to keep their side
OF the score down; Fairfield will at
tend to pushing the other side up.
Although it will be impossible for
the student body to be on the side
lines with a gas attack, rne team may
go to Keokuk confident that the en-
tire high school is back of them to
the finish.
