The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1919-10-23

The officers who conceived the idea
and were mainly instrumental in or
ganizing the American Legion, the
American war veterans would-be or
ganization, and their press supporters
have been loudly claiming that that
organization was to in no way par
ticipate in politics. Colonel Roose-
welt, who vas one Of the first boost
ers Of the Legion and is it's leading.
sofFicer at present made q speech at
Mitchell, S. D., recently and, accord
ing to news dispatches, attacked the
Nonpartisan League. This act on the
Co1onel's part shows the real force
hack Of the Legion-to fight progress
siveism. We who were in France at
the time that the initial steps were
taken to organize the Legion knew
well enough why the Legion was being
formed and just why the Interests"
were SO particularly interested in it.
We knew the clique that was behind
it was not organizing it for the bene-
At Of the common soldiers, that it
was to be more Of an officers organi-
zation than the common soldiers. OF
course the common soldiers we're TO be
members but the former "shave
tails" and ~higher-ups were to handle
the organization as they saw fit. The
common soldiers knew this. AS proof
Of this we have the facts before vi
that with q country wide drive for
members supported by the press (and
the kept press" is the loudest shout
er) the Legion has been able to Sc
cure only 100000 members to date,
according to press dispatches, in spite
Of the fact that over 100000 men
served in Uncle Sans army during
the late Since it's organization
the Legion has been carrying out the.
program for which it was organized,
advancing the political aspirations Of
certain groups, behind which groups
are the Interests The preponder-
ance Of officers, as delegates, at the
Paris convention was large. The ma
jority Of delegates at the ST. Louis
convention were officers or former Of
fcers. According to the Legion's own
figures there were 615 officers and ex-
officers (commissioned) $50 n~on-c0r1-

The Carter Oil company recently

is something like $3.50 contract and
this is very unusual deal for one

These people have heretofore new

been unknown before. This evident

the men Of the oil fraternity thas

shat this price will be reached before

STAMPS.
By KENT B. STILES.

Uncle Sam is again practicing economy
in connection with his postal stationery,
and his thrift means more new varieties
for collectors.
When the wartime rate of three cents
for an ordinary letter was red Iced to VIZ
cents on July |, there We're in post offices
throughout, the country excess stocks of
the three cent envelopes. the Post
master-Genera has sent notice to all pos
tai sub-agencies authorizing the imprint
ing of the inscription 2 cents in red
on each envelope just below the circular
die. inasmnch as this imprinting is not
being done at the Bureau Of EngraV-
ing and Printing at Washington, but at
sub-agengcies indie bend An5ly, there is
proSpac Of many varieties of type be-
coming available to collectors. and it is
not unlikely that such errors as i~nverts,
broken and missing and misplaced let
ters, etc, will appear.
The cost Of an ordinary POSTAL card was
lowered TO the normal one cent, and the
sub-ageneies have been authorized 70 sur
charge l c. across tho circular die on
each card, although his situation is of
less interest, as philateIists do not
collect pos al cards.
"EESII" FRAUDS
A German citizen, who knows how
eager the worlds collectors are to obtain
the stamps Of the countries Of the new
Europe, has succeeded in puIing The
wool over the eyes OF philaJelist, many
of whom have paid as high as S. for a
set of Esthonian stamps which have
proven to be fakes
When the Esths proclaimed their land
an independent republi" on the day on
which the armistice was sigDe1, last
November, the German citizeu was living
at RevaI, where the proclamation was
issued He hurried to a post off &c and
purchased stocks of the stamps which
the German occupation authorit es had
forced the people Of this former section
Of old Russia to use during the days Of
the invasion by the German troops.
These stamps are Germany's own
women in armor'' designed labels, but
with the %surcharge "Postbegiet Oh.
Ost." upon them.
These occupation stamps the German
citizen took with him into Germany, and
upon them he had overprinted he in
scription "Eesti," meaning "Esthonia."
These were then allowed 70 circulate
among stamp dealers. 1t was supposed
that they had been legitimately issued by

Macon S Public SerUlce.

Macon is deservedly receiving the con-
gratulations of the entire state on the splen-
did tractor show conducted this week under
the auspices of her enterprising Chamber Of
Commerce.
1t is remarkable how interest has devel-
oped in this new implement of agriculture.
Probably the farmers of Georgia, and not
only they but the general public as WE'LL are
as keenly interested in tractors as they are
in airplanes, which is saying a great deal
The city man has read the accounts Of the
tractor demonstrations at Macon with inter-
est as keen as his fellow citizen of the
country. Though he may never have the
pleasure of driving tractor and seeing
disc plow turn up the rich red clay of Geor-
gia's sub-soil he knows that deeper blowing
and more thorough preparation of the soil
will tremendously increase the agricultural
production of his state, and thereby contrib
ute to the general wealth of the community.
But this deeper blowing and more thor
ough narrowing, which cuts the soft soil all
to pieces, are not the only features of i'm
proved farming introduced by the tractor.
One small machine operated by one man will
plow more land in one day, and ploW 1t
deeper, or harrow more land and harrow it
more thoroughly, than eight or ten mules
and five or six men. This means tremendous
enlargement of the producing power OF the
Georgia farmer.
remarkable snapshot picture taken at
the Macon tractor demonstration shows a
Georgia mule observing his strange new rival
with mingled expression of wonder and
alarm. Well may the mule, for all his good
qualities regard the future with uncertainty.
His time-honored place as the principal
source of agricultural motive power in Geor-
gia and the South is slipping away from him
1t is impossible to Orerestimate the posi-
bilities of tractor farming. The Macon dem
onstration afforded the farmers exactly what
they wanted in the way of a comparison of
the different sizes and types of machines.
They have before them surprising variety
developed in a very short time. Out Of this
selection they will find just the tractor to
suit their needs. Macon has rendered the
state service of grea5 value, and it is to be
hoped that the Mactoll tractor show will be
the forerunner of many others.
