INsIDIoUs EFFORTS
TO HANDLE LEGION.


The newspapers Of this state and
of the whole country seem. to have
entered into an agreement to connect
the American Legion with every mob
outrage that occurs anywhere. Last
week when former Congressman Lun-
deem was deported from Ortonville
the Twin city papers credited the men
who locked the Minneapolis man in a
freight car and shipped him out Of town
with being members Of the American
Legion. Lundeen himself later said
that no former service men were con-
,cerned in the affair Even the local
anti-radical paper declared that an ex-.
doughboy refused Lundeen the privilege.
of making his speech. 81
1t is certain that this propaganda is
being employed for some purpose. 1t
may be that the sponsors for the stories
hope torepeat last years outrages against
the organized farmers and then attach
the blame or the responsibility upon.
the Amerlcan Legion. Fl ST.
Recent developme point that way.
If Legion posts can be hood winked
by the amoufiage that will be created,
and the press can offer as examples the.
;emplo ynent Of force at distant points
by alleged Iegionites, they may be
successful ID their designs. There is
no doubt but that the rank and file Of
the Legion members will not favor any
such procedure But the men who.
are seeking to direct the destinies Of the
organization particularly il Minnesota,
are, deft handlers Of men and may lead
them in a direction they have no desire
to go. At present, Of course, this dan
ger only threatens. But unless the
fair-minded members Of the Legion
assert themselves there is more than a
good chance that this very thing will
occur M adelid / lHeiaral NIelus.1

IN FAVOR OF BIG ROAD
MACHINERY.
MAKE APPLICATION FOR ARCHIE
TEcTURAL. WORK ON NEW
MUNICIPAL PLANT.

At an adjourned meeting of the New
Ulm City Council held Friday evening
two representatives of the Austin
Western Road Machinery Company of
Chicago were present. They had been
invited by the councillors to present to
them facts and figures in regard to the
advantages of the Aurora Steel Frame
Rock Crusher which is manufactured
by the Chicago firm just mentioned.
Thomas Lennon of St. Paul and J. F.
Lynch of Mankato, the representatives,
gave a thorough description of this
road machinery and the councilmen
showed their interest in the matter by
listening to them for more than two
hours. ..
IL to lS Tons Per Hour.
One feature of the crusher is that it
has capacity of IL to Is tons per hour,
according to the information given by
Mr.. Lennon In an eight hour day
the machine would furnish an average
quantity of 1870 tons. By way Of COM
parison, it was pointed out that the
city used about 400 tons of crushed
stone ION it's roads during the summer
just passed. Another feature OF the
crusher is that it can be transported
from one point to another without any
difficulty 1t is mounted on heavy
steel beams slung under the rear axle
which keep the machine low for feeding
and yet enable large diameter road
wheel to be used. The he front wheels
cut under goose neck for easy turning.
The stone is. crushed at the point most
convenient for delivery to the crusher
and for haulage to the job. The ex-
plantations given: by Mr.. Lennon were
accompanied by numerous pictures and
photographs showing the, erusher and
its most essential parts,
The cost of this machinery is in the
neighborhood of So 800, said Mr.. Lennon.
No action was taken by the council,
but the matter will be taken up again
rat the next regular session of the city
Y fathers Superintendent A. J. Mueller
who was present at the meeting spoke
of the coal crl.sher that would be needed
at the new municipal plant In case
the city should decide to purchase one
of these stone crushers it would not be
necessary to have an extra one for the
station, he said.
Make Application.
Several applications were read by
Mr.. Krook in reference to the archi-
tectural work for the new municipal
plant that will be erected in the near
future Mr. Mueller referred to the
code system of bidding as it was in use
in Germany before the war broke out
Bids are numbered and placed before
impartial and experienced judges who
have no idea who the bidders are and
appraise the work according to its
merits only Prizes are awarded to
the first, second and third best plan
the contract for the work going to the
firm receiving first prize.
8 /. Mr.. Mueller submitted part OF the
plans and specifications for the new
plant In preparing them. personally,
heis saving the city quite an expense. The
usual charge for this kind Of work is
about per cent Of the contract, which
in this case would amount to approx
mately $4,000.

national life He thanked the church and
the minister for putting the building at the

millions for education, he said they never
went to college. Although in early en-
vironment they felt the pinch of poverty,
they meant every boy and girl in their
reach should have better education than
they had. Nearly all began life In the
country, almost in obscurity, but they
worked their way TO position and fame.
