i LEADING MEMBERSHIP

y St. Paul, July, 24.-Considerable
rivalry has sprung up among Min
nesota posts of the American Legion
as to which post has the leading mem
bership, based upon the population
Of the district in which the members
reside. ~ story recently was sent out
from state headquarters Commenting
upon the remarkable record Of the
Winnebago post. A letter received
by Department Adjutant Horace G.
Whitmore, from Elmer Wicken,, COM
mander OF Sanford Post No. 1872 at
Elmore says in part: : ( .@&s&$,
= Our membership percentage ex-
ceSds that Of Winnebago. The total
membership of Sanford post num-
bers 80. In 1910, the population. Of
Gilmore was 795, which gives San
lord post a membership percentage;
Of lille. The population of Winnie
bago was 1854, which gives them,
with their membership of ITO, a per-
;centage Of 1894" 41& Pr. ~ ~
L P. u. O'Toole, assistant adjutant,
whose delight is in keeping the bat
ting averages of the 400 odd posts
up to date, has settled the Elmore-

New Richland, with population
of 686. has 80 paid up for 1920 and
also claims to be in the front row
OF 100 per cent organized posts"

Grip.

Grip usually starts just the same as
a cold with watery, discharge from
the nose. You are much more likely
to contract the grip when you have q
cold. For that reason when grip is
prevalent you should go to bed as soon
as you feel that you are taking cold
and stay in bed until fully recovered
which should not be long if you take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Three
days in bed now is better than three

Crime in This State

Prosecutor Joseph e. Stricken has
ordered that the papers In the local
crap shooting raid, conducted early
Sunday morning in Palace hall. be
sent to his office in order that he

ing for the appearance of those ar

lation of the law of ethics and mat
ter that should be taken cogniZance Of
by the people who have to do with
the appointment and dismissal of po-
licemen.
This case will be brought before the
grand jury at least one, and possibly
two of the men arrested in 1t being
scheduled to come UP before that
body. When the accused are ques-
toned further light on who was con-
ducting the game" Is expected to be
secured and some startling tnforma-
ton on other gambling doings in this
city.
Chief Burke, when asked last night
about the rumor that charges were to
be brought against the patrolmen
who vouched for the appearance of
the gamblers on Sunday morning,
stated he did not hear anything to
that effect.

blers who escaped from Palace Hall

Roundsman Andrew Jensen on sun
day morning, was arrested yesterday
by Patrolman Frank Gunkel on
complaint of Roundsman Andrew
Jensen. When arraigned before Re-
corder Pickersgill this morning he

leased In bail to appear tonight. will

Commissioners have been appointed
for practically AL states as well as
for districts in which the country has
been divided for purposes of enforce

With the coming into force OF the
amendment the export of intoxicat-

amount of whiskey has been sent out
of the country within the last few
weeks but large stocks stil remain in

of Commerce will issue $4,000 tags
for the event and these viii be dis
tributed broadcast. Everyone wear
ing a tag on tag day and making a
purchase In any store recognizing
the tag or stores taking part in the
campaign will be entitled to ftve
per cent. discount on all purchases.
The dollar day will consist of DIFF
ferent kinds of dollar sales. which
will demonstrate better than any
other way the exact purchasing pow
er your dollar has. Coupon day
means that coupons will be given to
all persons making purchases in the
various stores taking part in the
campaign. These coupons will be
valuable.
The merchants of the city are or
ganizing for this campaign greater
than ever before and there is little
doubt but what 1t will prove to be
one of the most successful undertake
ings ever made by the merchants to
impress upon people the purchasing
power of a dollar in their home
town, and showing how many ways
their money goes when spent at
home to run the city, employ their
friends and relatives and how much
greater the value received may be.
Campaigns of this kind have re-
Gently been carried on In other large
cities with great success, among
them being Jersey City. The CAM
paign here will be similar in some
respects to the one recently run In

ference. Mr.. Glass la understood to
be favorable to Senator Underwood
and the resolution was opposed by
supporters Of Senator Hitchcock the
present acting Democratic leader.

and Senator D. Underwood, of Ala
