SNAKE DANCE TO BE
 HELD NEAR SEPT 1ST.

The exact date for the annual snak dance of the Hopi Indians has not been set but it will oc- cur near the end of August. This custom, which dates far ther back than any records can determine, yearly attracts a large number of tourists from all parts of the United States.
 The Indian festivities last for nine days. During the first few days the Indian priests go out over the desert sands and gather in the snakes--live rat tiers. Racing, prayer and oth- CT ceremonies follow until the ninth day when comes the great snake dance with the live rattlers. The Indians han dle the snakes with bare hands and are frequently bitten and yet none have been known to die from the poison.
 Hopi, the chief village of this tribe of Indians, S located about 85 miles north of the Santa Fe railroad and may be reached by automobile.

As large majority of Republican members of Congress voted against all American legislation prior to our entrance into the war, then assailed the Admins tration for not preparing, and next noisily voted for all war measures, it would seem that a charge of inconsistency is in order. Also, MT. Graham over- looks the face that the majority of the Council were Republi- cans Perhaps he has not found that out yet.

FLAGSTAFF vs. WILLIAMS
 SUNDAY AFTERNOON

A game between the home boys and the Flagstaff team has been arranged for next Sunday afternoon. This prom ises to be an unusually good game as the teams will be very closely matched. While the Williams boys lost to the Flag staff team on the Fourth, they lost by but a very small score, and, with the advantage of playing on the home ground, they stand a very good chance of winning the coming game. The support of the home folk, on the bleachers will also be large force in helping the boys to success.
 Attention is called to the fact that a roof has now been pro- vided for the grand stand, and any who had the experience of getting a good wetting at anyof the former games, may come to this game with the assurance that they will have ample pro- lection from both rain and sun. with plenty of room for all, in the grand stand.
 The ball boys have had to contend with adverse weather thus far during the season. A. large number of admissions will be needed to meet the ex- pense of bringing the visiting team here.

THE AMERICAN LEGION
Progress of the National Or ganization of the American War Veterans of the Great War.

War.
 More than HOO posts of the
 American Legion representing
 every state in the Union have
 been chartered since the sol
 dier, sailor and Marine dele
 gates who met at St. Louis in
 May ratified the action of the A.E.F. delegates who met in Paris in March and launched the national organization of American Veterans of the great war. The organization of local posts in each state is progress. ing so rapidly that it is impos- sible at this time to estimate the Legon's approximate member ship.
 The American Legion has been endorsed as the national organization of the American veterans of the recent war by Secretary of War Baker, Seca retary of Navy Daniels, Gen. eral March, Genarl Pershing. {. Admiral Sims, Major General Barnett, Lord Northcliffe, for mer President Taft, and the GAR, Spanish War Veterans and Confederate War Veterans
 Veteran organizations which grew up in the early stages of demobilization while The Am erican Legion organization was getting under way are joining the Legon. The latest to join was the World War Veterans of Montana, who voted unani- mously to join the American Legion in body.
 The purpose of the American Legion was to create a perma- nent organization which would unite the thousands of veterans of the present war. This origi- nal idea includes multiple asso- ciated ideals, for the American Legion will do many things. It will unite the men who have served overseas with the men who have served at home; it. will perpetuate friendship: it will furnish an official medium for the development of plans and policies. Above all, it will cause American patriotism to flourish actively in town, city, village and country.
 The possibilities for good in the American Legion are mania fold for such an organization will necessarily become a pow erful medium in the support of city and national educational and patriotic activities. It will keep alve the principles of jus tice, freedom and democracy for which these veterans have fought, and will preserve to future generations the history and incidents of their participa- ton in the war.
 The preamble of the consti- tuition of the American Legion is as follows:
 "For God and country we as- sociate ourselves together for the following purposes:
 "To uphold and defend tho constitution of the United Stat es of America: to maintain law and order: to foster and per petuate one hundred per cent Amerlcanism: to preserve the memories and incidents of our associations in the great war: to calculate a sense of individu- al obligation to the community, state, and nation; to make right the master of might; to combat he autocracy of both the class es and the masses; to promote peace and good will on earth: to consecrate and sanctify our ;omradeship by devotion to mutual helpfulness and to safe guard and transmit to posterity he principles of justice, free lom and democracy"

BETTER SWINE AND PROFITS
Farmers Learning to Be More Careful
In Selection of Their Breed
ing Animals.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Farmers throughout the country are
using improved hog-breeding stock
more generally than ever before, re-
port specialists Of the United States
department of agriculture, as they are
learning that the best stock yields the
most profits, and hence are more care
full In their selection of breeding ami
mails. Farmers, as rule, seem to be
pleased with the outlook for the hog
raiser, and the indications point to a
large increase in the number of filters
to be narrowed this fall. Much trouble
was experienced with the early spring
filters because of cold weather at far
rowing time and on account of feed
shortage and the high price Of pro-
tein feeds, causing many stockmen to
allow their brood sows to get into poor
condition, with the result that small
and weak filters were farrowed. In
the main, these farmers have learned
a costly lesson, and henceforward it Is
presumed that they will provide better
housing and narrowing conditions as
well as ample food of the right mix
ture for their porkers.
