HIGH COST OF LIVING WILL BE
AIRED AT GEORGETOWN

On account of the agitation caused
by the demand made on Congress by
the Railroad Brotherhoods that the
roads should be turned over to
committee practically dominated by
the employees, a letter signed by
twenty-five citizens of Georgetown was
sent to the mayor asking for a public
meeting, at which the effect of this
bill on the high cost of living could
be discussed. H. G. Stewart, as mayor,
has called the meeting for Monday
night and hopes to have one or two
delegates of the trainmen's brother
hoods present to give an outline of
their plan. Because of the importance
Of the question and the interest arous-
ed, there will probably be a large
crowd present, and this has decided
Mr.. Stewart to have the meeting in
the court house.

CONTROL MEASURES FOR
MEASURING WORMS
CBy NJ. c. Vaughn. County Agent,

CBy NJ c. Vaughn, County Agent
During the past two weeks several
inquiries have come to my office rela-
tive to worms on pole beans and soy
beans, and some have reported that
these worms are eating their alfalfa
and other crops. The most effective
spray that can be used at this time
is powdered arsenate of lead, l lb. to
10 gallons of water Pyrox and Kill
tone are also very good to use as a
spray OF course it is very difficult
to spray pole beans, but if anyone
VIII use a small hand sprayer it will
certainly pay. If anyone has only a
few hills of beans and wants to save
them and does not have a sprayer of
any kind, simply mix this solution
and spray the beans by dipping a
'room in the spray solution and throw
ing on the vines.

LETTING oGNT OUT.
A letter to machsnists sent out with
the strike ballots reads In part:
ut is very evident from events that
with the signing of the armistice, ac-
tual hostilities ceased in the world war,
and labor thought that by the signing
of the declaration that the world was
made safe for democracy. 1t appears
that big business, special privilege and
others who are seeking to destroy the
standards created by organized labor,
have looked on this declaration as q
declaration Of war against the trade
union movement both in the industrial
fight and in the legislative field.
Individual contracts have been used
in many instances to bring about a
condition under which our organization
could not exist. Laws have been in
troduced in congress which would seek
to rob US of the right to strike and
several laws have been introduced
which have for their purposes what Is
commonly termed compulsory arbitra-
ticn."
The letter declares that propaganda

Minneapolis. Mimi, Nov. 1.-THE
American Legion prepared today for
= final attack upon the business before

The cOnvention will end tonight. II
was to be q busy day with the cleo
ton OF officers coming UP and num-
Der Of important resolutions to be act
ed upon.
The legion today stood pledged to be
non political permitting no legion Of
ficer OF any rank to hold salaried
elective office or to involve the legion
in politics. 1t stood for universal mill
tary training with a distinction against
compulsory military in times of peace.
The training would not be under the
general staff. A large standing army
was denounced as undemocratic.
The legion unanimously voted to de-
mand that federal authorities take
proper steps to cancel the citizenship
OF Victor Berger of Milwaukee and to
deport him. Congress was asked to
Investigate the record of Congressman
yoigt of Wisconsin, for having sus-
tanned Berger.
The election of officers was to bring
into fill play the latent politics of the
convention. There were dark horses
by the corral-full to combat with
Franklin D'Olier. Pennsylvania for the
honor.
An undercurrent of feeling that Of
ficers shall not dominate the legion
made it possible there would be
