Also, fellows, get with good crowd,
always assured Of clean spot and
pleasant evening during the winter
months.
The American legion boys who went
overseas to stop the Hun now take a
stand in the open, declaring war on
all opposed to this loyal Organization.
It is the duty of each and every mem
Der of the American legion to make
known publicly any radical, red, l. W..
w., disloyalist, or by any other term
that we may have for these destruc-
tive breakers of the law of American
ism.
Not for ourselves only are we fight
ing, but striving to uphold before all
the world that which our boys died
for, not that they gave their lives in
vain.
An ultimatum-A example in our
community: Two of the local post
men were soliciting in the recent Red
Cross drive. when red blooded Ameri-
cans answered the call:
Being received with the best Of
courtesy at each house these boys can
vassed, they were met on one occasion
by storm of abuse and profanity such
as a beggar would get asking for a
weeks board of a hermit This man,
we dare call him that, pretends to be
an American citizen and makes his
bread from the people Of this country.
These are the men we boys who
fought for our country, and some of
us. through terrible hardships, intend
to fight, on behalf Of our buddies who
lie over the seas, never resting until
such as these are brought to justice
and punished. &

Outlines Of a constitution and by-
laws for a state cooperative potato ex-
change and local cooperative potato
associations have been prepared by the
temporary board of directors appoint
ed.at the recent convention of the Min
nesota Potato Growers association at
Moorhead, The outline, as prepared,
calls for: -.s.-,- 81 49, :
|. Local cooperative shipping as

make a contract with his association
to supply it. a stated amount, acreage,
or percentage of his seasons crop ev-
cry year, and to give a note for 500,
guaranteeing the performance of con-
tract.
q. a central exchange made up Of
locals which agree to ship through the
exchange, each local to take not less
than one share nor more than ten
shares of capital stock at $500 in the
exchange, and to give to the exchange
a guarantee note of $500 to assure per

aged by a board of directors of seven
or more, elected by delegates from
each local, officers to be elected from
and by the board, and a manager chos-
en- or estctsd by the board.
The fund raised from stock in the
locals is to create capital out Of which
local equipment and a share Of stock
in the central exchange may be called
for. The 500 notes given. by local
members, besides guaranteeing per-
Torrance Of contract, may be used as
security for money to create revolv-
ing fund with which to 10 current bust

them. The stock paid in by locals to
the central exchangeis to provide CAPT.

the central organization. The $500
notes turned in by the locals to the
central exchange are to be used only
in manner similar to the 500 notes
turned in by members to the local as

CONGRESS- C0NVENES
Annual Estimates of Secretary Glass
Call for Appropriations of
5000, 100000.
This is More Than Five Times the
Amount Expended in the Year
Preceding the War.

The sixty-sixth congress met on
Monday in it's first regular session
the session recently closed being ex-
traordinary- and it is predicted that
it will remain in harness until time
shortly before the presidential cleo
ton next year There was big at
tendance present when the gavals Of
the president of the senate and speaker
of the house called the assemblies to
order. . - ~
The record billion dollar congress Of
ordinary peace times faded into the
past when Secretary Carter Glass,
presenting the annual estimates, pro-
posed appropriations Of nearly SIS ,O0O,-
OOO,O for conducting the peacetime
activities of the government for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1920.
According to these figures it will
cost more than five times as much to
conduct the peacetime affairs of gov
eminent as it did in the year immedi-
ately preceding the world war.
The greatest individual estimates fo1
expenditures in the budget figures, OF
course, go to the army and navy. The
yearly interest on the war debt, how
ever, is 81 OF 500, 900, which sum alone
is greater than all the appropriation
for all purposes whatsoever of any
peacetime congress.
/ All in all, the estimates justify the
predictions made on the floor of con-
gress, during consideration Of the..wa1
tax bills, that the present generation
would not see the government con.
Quoted at an expense of less thar
$4,000, 100000 year.
! This is what the people of the. coun.
try are getting from a democratic ad
ministration. It's reckless wasteful
ness, extravaganza, winking at prof
teering, burning of government air
planes, letting reds run at large, re
leasing the most dangerous alier
criminals upon their own recognizance
and the failure to shoot convicted
traitors, together with the coddling o.
conscientious DIRECTORS and Stacker:
to the extent Of permitting them t.
evade military duty, and paying those
who were in prison the same amour
as the boys who willingly joined thu
army, went to Europe and fought fol
their country, are but few of tn
evils which the democratic administra
ton has brought upon the heads O
Americans . 81 81 +

In Flanders fields the peoples grow
Beteween the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky.
The larks. still bravely singing. fly.
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived. felt dawn, saw sunset glow.
Loved and were loved; and now we, lie

oh you who sleep in Flanders fields
Sleep sweet-to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw,
And holding high we kept the faith
With those who died.
We cherish too the poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies
But lends luster to the red
OF the flowers that bloom above the dead
"a In flanders fields.
And now the torch and poppy red,
We wear in honor of the dead.
Fear naught that We have died for naught,
We've learned the lesson that We taught
In Flanders fields.
