The casual reader would receive rie
impression that the American Legion
had given its Endorsement to the
strike of the bituminous coal miners,
if he accepted the story appearing
in the Minneapolis Daily News OF
Monday az its face value. The coun-
Gil of the American Federation OF
Labor passed resolutions indorsing
the coal strike. The makeup" lilan
on the News dumped this story I'M
mediately following the report and
recommendation of Chairman Lind
sley of the American Legion. The
writer readily understands that the
make up man on an afternoon news
paper is a right busy guy, but one
cannot help but wonder if this mis-
take was by accident or design for
the purpose of putting the American
Legion in "bad" with that part of the
American public which reads the
Daily News.

w. E. Reed, president of the
Board of Education, has accepted
the appointment of chairman of the
BOY Scout finance compaien COM
mittee and has organized his forces
for an intensive canvass OF the en-
tire city next week
The city has been divided into
blocks, in each of which a promi-
nent business man, who is also
prember of the Rotary club. will act
as captain. At a designated hour
the entire force will begin work
and every business house in the city
will be given an opportunity to con-
tribute to the Scout campaign fund.
1t is expected that the fund of
$4,000 will be raised within few
hours after the real drive starts
The $1,000 raised by the Rotary
club Wednesday noon gives the fund
a fine start.
Every business man in the city
who uses newspaper space has been
asked to run one line of type in his
advertisements calling attention to
the Scout campaign and urging its
support.
The Scouts are arranging to give
some rather spectacular demonstra-
tons next week in various places
showing what their training enables
them to do in cases of emergency.
