MINISTERS TO HELP
AMERICAN LEGION
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, TO BE
DEVOTED TO IDEALS OF
THIS ORGANIZATION

Clergymen throughout the United
States will be requested to devote part
or the whole of their sermons to the
ideals for which The American Legion
stands, on Sunday, November 9th.
The National Executive Committee of
The American Legion asks that this,
the day preceding the opening of the
national convention in Minneapolis,
be observed as American Legion Sun
day.
An official request from National
HEADQUARTERS urging the cooperation
of the 10000 clergymen in America
through the state branches and local
posts of the American Legion says:
'sThe American Legion is an
established fact. 1t is the concrete
realization of that some sort of or
ganization after the war; which was
talked of in every cantonment in
America, on board every ship of the
navy, and in every unit and section of
the A. E. F. 1t is the capitalization
of the wish of every soldier, sailor
and marine to organize after the war.
In union there is strength and in this
particular union will be found the
bulwark of Americanism.
"The Legion has grown and its
spirit has spread because it is worthy.
In every test at the outset it repelled
selfishness, narrowness, partisanship
and clung tenaciously to the under
lying theme-democracy In every
test it has withstood the temptation of
for its members at the
expense of the country at large. In
no instance has it sought anything
that was not just and equitable and in
the best interests of all America. 1t
is now, always has been and will con-
tinue to be non-partisan and non-po-
Iitical in the accepted sense of those
terms.
"But while it is non-political it has
and always will have policies, in that
it reflects the will and opinions of the
majority Of it's members, whose san,
ty, unselfishness and patriotism may
De depended upon in questions affect
ng national or international integrity
and adjustment"

NOTED MOODY CASE
THROWN OUT OF COURT
CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT
AGAINST FORMER ADJUTANT
GENERAL is DISMISSED

BOISE.-The charge against C. S.
Moody, former adjutant general of
Idaho, of making false certificate
to a voucher for travelling expenses
amounting to $176.63, was. dismissed
in the district court this morning. The
defendant was discharged by Judge
Reddoch, who sustained the defend
ants motion to quash and set aside
the information and ordered that the
bond of Mr.. Moody be eoxnerated.
Judge Reddoch announced he had
looked into the authorities submitted
to him and felt that the defendant
could not be held under the informa-
ton and at once ordered his dismis-
sal. The arrest of the former adju
tant general was the result of an ex-
tended legislative investigation during
the last legislative session of which
C. s. Moody was member. The in
vestigation occupied several days
and resulted in lengthy report being
filed. This charged Mr.. Moody with
charging up to the state of Idaho GER
tain expenses on a trip to Washington
when he was making the trip in be-
half of the United States government,
and further alleging that he had
charged and collected the same ex-
penses from the United States gov
ernment.

60-day history of one disabled SOL
der. Only 21 years old, with inflam-

tional Education on April the 1st; the

for a course in marine engineering;

Training approved; on April train
ing was begun in the Marine Engi-
neering School, U. S. Shipping Board,
at Berkeley. The training was COM
pleted on May 19, and on May 26 he
wrote this letter to the district office:
Gentlemen: I take pleasure in
telling you that l have completed my
course in training for Marine Engi-
neer and was most certainly surprised
that / could do so in so short period.
"When I first came to your office,
| thought that l would most probably
have to take a years training and
rest because of my condition, that is,
not do any physical labor or work.
But l found that by living temper
ate life as possible and utilizing every
hour I was able to learn as much
from the United States Shipping
Board school for Marine Engineers as
the average university graduate, and
was able to pass an examination for

tion for the same rate as just have.

it. | could not have been better ta-
ken care of Or had my interests looked
after; l have been able to do what
thought would be impossible. The
least paid for licensed Third Assist
ant Engineer is $120. Therefore, if
need any more schooling l can take
up an |. C. S. course while at work,
which will do me as much good, if
not more, as going to school. For a
man that has to work technical know

J. E. Hall Returning.

John E. Hall, well known old
pioneer resident of this region is ex-

family some day this week. Mr.. Hall
left here in the spring looking for a
location in southern Idaho. After re-
manning there all summer he is to
come back to Moscow. He will make
the trip overland in his Buick car, ta
king the route from Boise to Baker
and crossing the Blue mountains at
Elgin, going from there to Walla
Walla and on into Lewiston and Mos

attraction for him, and be welcomed
by friends whom he knew in his
youth. Miss La Dessa Hall returned
two weeks ago to complete her uni
versity course.

Tractor testing at the University of

ticable by the addition to apparatus
now employed by the department of
agricultural engineering of an auto
matte Prony brake of sufficient size
to determine the horsepower of the
largest farm tractors. For use with
this machine is an Iowa Traction
dynamometer which will make it pos
