FARMERS PROFITS SAFE

Millions of dollars went glimmering
before the eyes of western sugar beet
growers last week, when the price of
sugar dropped below IL cents pound
at New York. The drop in the price
means that the growers will not receive
bonus in addition to the guaranteed
flat price per ton for their beets stip-
ulated in their contracts, unless, of
course, the market rallies later. A
bonus of 81 ton was to be paid for
each cent by which the price Of sugar
exceeded IL cents, seaboard basis, dur
ing November, December and January.
Present unusual conditions illustrate
the advantage to the farmer Of Q guar
anteed beet price.
Last year conditions were running
wild and the agitators tried to get
the farmers to refuse to sign contracts
except at fabulous prices. Talk was
started for factories to be built by the
farmers, etc, etc.
Where would the farmers have been
today if they had followed such ad-
vice-they would have been "busted. 4"
Instead they now have high contract
price with certain profits guaranteed.
When prices drop and some one has
to foot the bills, the agitators disap-
pear.

TO WAR AGAINST swINDLERs
National Organization Takes steps t.
Swing Full Force to Stamp
Out Practice

National and departmental officers
brought tn light several instances in
which INSCRIPTIONS SwindierS have
successfully capitalized the grief of The
next of kin of Americans who LOST their
lives in the wurld war, and the orsani-
2aiion's national headquarters has
taken steps to SWIM" the full force of
the more than oG,O Legion posts he
hind moveuen, 10 stamp out the
practice.
The mother of dead soldier whose
grave had never been located recently
was told by one OF these parasites that
he would visit Washington. If she paid
his expenses and find out at first-hand
what could he done. Later. the impos-
tor reported success and advised the
bereaved family that the body would
be sent home. A brother became sus-
picious and by personal call at the
war department learned that no in
quiry ever had been made.
Another woman, whose son had not
been heard from since he was reported
wounded while fighting in the Ar
COME. received letter signed with
her sons name, asking her to send him
money. She made trip to Cleveland.
o., only to find that the letter was a
hoax. Later, she received telegram
signed with her sons name and mott
fed the police in the town from which
the message had been sent. The man
who had attempted to defraud her was
arrested.
At the instigation of the Legion, 20
lice of California city are on the
trail of n man said to have made
practice of corresponding with the next
of kin of deceased soldiers with view
to defrauding them. He wrote a let
ter purporting to give frst-hand infor-
nation concerning the death Of one OF
these missing soldiers, whereas inves-
tigation showed that the writer Of the
letter had never been outside the Uni
ted States during the war.
Lemuel Bolles. Legion national adtu-
tant has urged all posts and depart
ments to assist in warning relatives OF
missing heroes against paying any
money for information or service OF
this nature, as both the Legion and the
war department are willing to provide

AIM IS TO BE OF SERVICE
Theodore Roosevelt Sums Up Prines-
Piles Of Legion Before Cleveland
Chamber Of commerce.

1--WE are service men and service
women. That is our aim-to be OF
service to this country"
With those words Theodore Roose-
welt, son of the late ex-President
Roosevelt, summed up his speech on
the aims and principles Of the Amer
lean Legion. delivered before the
Chamber of Commerce Of Cleveland.
o. Three things, he declared, were
agreed upon in organizing. the Legion.
They were:
That the Legion should be purely
service organization with absolutely
no distinction OF rank between gen.
eraI and private. admiral and COB.
That the Legion must be nom
partisan and must concern itself with
policies. not politics
That there must be no distinction
drawn between branches of service,
between those who served overseas
and those who waited at home.
1.-The American Legion is going to
be the biggest stabilizing influence In
America. In these disturbed times" he
said. He cited letter from his ia
Their, written in 1918, in which the for
mer president predicted that the dan
ger in this country lay In the tendency
to swing from extreme to extreme
from radicalism to reaction and vice
versa
To show that the Legion does not
care for politics Mr.. Roosevelt pointed
out that the first national commander,
Colonel Lindsey, was a Democrat
while l." he said. IAN suspected Of
being Republican"
1.-The United States army" he con-
timed, twas demOcratizing influ-
ence contrary to the belief Of many"
He told of-.nany instances in-h his regi-
ment to show the abolition Of class
distinction in the service.

A Man and His Work,

Omaha World.Herald: Blessed is
he who has found his work. wrote
Thomas Carlyle. How many are they
who toll who have found their work;
how many are there who are con-
tented workmen in these strenuous
DAVIS? IF one were to calculate by the
numerous cases that are cropping out
all over the country, where those who
employ those who labor, disagree and
listen to the chatter of the pro-
fessionaI disturber, it would only be
to come to the conclusion that few
there are who have found their work.
And vet millions of American citizens
have found their work and are happy
and prosperous. One must not judge
bv all the cuttlefish acts of the few
The American people are not dissatls-
fled with their work. True, sometimes
thew are dissatisfied with certain
conditions, but these conditions can
be and are changed as time passes
and the great wheels of industry,
that are today revelation to the
world at large, go forward. Blessed,
indeed is he who has found his work.
Let that work be great or small,
Iowlv or elevated, for the man who
has not lost his heart in his work,
and who loves not his work cannot

CHINESE FEAR
EVIL. SPIRITS
All Sorts of Charms and Supersttions
Are Part of Yellow Mans Relig-
ion-They Have Queer
Beliefs.

In order to ward off evil spirits and
prevent them from interfering with
the Chinese child's growth and devel-
opment a little locket made of gold,
silver and jade and bearing the in
scription, Long life and riches is
put on its wrist or about its neck soon
after birth, to lock I'D its life securely.
In many instances, says the Detroit
News, the money for this locket. is
solicited from neighbors. This is al
most invariably the rule If the parents
have lost other children.
The 'locket is usually worn until the
age of 20 or 80 years, and not infreq-
uently it is never taken of. 1t is
commonly believed that taking o. the
locket will result in death, but this
belief has never been put to the test.
as the Chinese are too superstitious
to risk such mattrs.
Another common belief is that the
Ichild's life may be preserved and all
harm averted by dressing it in gar
ment made up Of patchwork of cloth
of numerous hues, presented by the
tneighbors.
The left ear of boy baby is pierced
for an earring. Girl babies are
dressed as boys, and sometimes they
continue SO disguised until they are
u or more years old A supersti-
tious belief that evil spirits may be
deceived in this way is back of this
custom.
