OFFICIAL ATTITUDE OF
\ LEGION TOWARD LABOR
Bulletin Issued From National
Headquarters States Legion's
Stand Clearly

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 25.--The
official attitude Of the American Lee
gion toward organized labor is given
in bulletin issued from national
headquarters in this city. This
plank, which was adopted at the re-
cent national convention, it taken
from statement issued by former
national commander Franklin
D'Oliver and is as follows:
THE attitude Of the Legion to-
ward organized labor is the same as
it's attitude toward all groups of AM
erican citizens who are interested in
a square deal for all in the main
tenance of law and order and the
protection Of the institutions handed
down to us from our fOrefathers. In
any controversy between capital and
labor the>interest Of the American
Legion is confined to that of the
maintenance Of law and order and,
without taking part on either side,
in case situation shOul Id arise
where life and property are endang-
cred it is the duty of members of the
Legion to perform their full duty as
citizens, according to their own con-
science and understanding. In such
a contingency it is the Legion mans
duty to assist in the maintenance of
law and order by acting as an indi-
vidual and Offering his services to the
duly constituted authorities for the
of law and order. There
is nothing to prevent the individual
of the Legion, as an individ-
ual, from taking either side in such
a controversy but the Legion, as an
organization, will not do So"
This statement was adopted by the
convention delegates as best express
ing the Legion's attitude in labor
difficulties.

The best game of the season for
Thief River is the game with Be-
midjI High, says the Thief River
Falls Times, and the bols here are
preparing for the hardest fight of
the year. Coach Tommeraason has
been whipping his bunch into shape
by hard work and steady practice

While Thief River Falls has been

certainly not been loating on the job.
Coaches Smith and Diedrich have
given the boys a hard workout every
afternoon and aHis set for the battle
tomorrow. Although Thief River
Falls beat the Crookston eleven a
week ago Saturday by score of 80
to 13, the Bemidji bunch has nothing
to. fear. 'With'a complete team Az
eraging $50 pounds per man, the To-
cal team goes to the fray confident
tof victory. Bemidji's prospects this
year for the state championship are
exceptionally bright and those who

planning to accompany the team to
Thief River this afternoon and indi-
cations are that an exceptionally
large crowd will witness the battle
which begins at $3.50 o'clock.

OWNED c.. M PLANTS
UNDER AMENDMENT NO. |
State May Supply Counties,
Cities, Townships With c.
ment for Road Building

Good Roads Amendment No. / is
sure Of the "yes'' votes of all be-
levers in state ownership, as the
result of the recent opinion of c..
Louis Weeks, deputy attorney gen.
eral, that it's adoption will authorize
the state to build and operate cement
making plants.
Although the proposal to hard
surface 200 miles of the trunk high
way system each year will require less
than $4,000 barrels of cement an
nually, the ruling is such that the
capacity Of state-owned plants need
not be limited to that small output
Public Supplies at Cost.
The state may supply counties,
cities and townships with cement at
cost for local road building and other
needs, according to the opinion which
now has the force of law, provided
the amendment is passed. Mr.. Weeks
adds that it may be found that the
state-made cement can be sold to
private parties, but reserves his def
mite conclusion on that feature pend
ing further consideration. While the
use of public funds for private pur-
poses is prohibited, he explains, it
may be that sales Of any "surplus"
from state cement plant to private
parties may be justified on the
ground that they are only "inci-
dentap to the economical and proper
production Of cement by the state
itself.
The opinion is viewed by many as
an important step-an "entering
wedge"--in the direction of state
ownership development in general.
1t is regarded as of special Importance
by officials.
Called Good News.
"Mr. Weeks ruling is good news
for this department" said Charles M.
Babcock, state highway commission
er. Several weeks ago we began
with the assistance of instructors in
the university school of mines, a
broad survey to locate on state lands
if possible, the shale needed for &C.
ment making. That was before it
was made plain that Good Roads
AmendmentaNo / carries with it the
required authority for the establish
ment Of state-owned and operated
cement plants.
"Now there is far less possibility
that road building will have to be
curtailed as it is this year to release
cement for farm building
eve are confident that the merits
of the good roads plan and the good
judgment of the people of the state
will result in the adoption OF Amend
ment No. l by big majority, and
that will bring also the authority for
the state cement plants.
Now Pushing investigation.
estate demands alone arc com.
paratively small but the addition OF
county, town and city needs will take
the output of at least one good sized
plant. The Investigations are being
speeded up to avoid delays in re-
porting to the legislature on this
phase of the plan.'

ed today with the opposing lines
drawn for finished fight in Ohio.
Senator Warren G. Harding makes a
final whirlwind tour Of the state this
week winding up at Columbus on
Saturday night. Governor Cox will

Confident of Ohio.
Confident predictions that Hard

made by Harding. In statement
opening his final weeks campaign,
Senator Harding today accused the
democrats of evading the paramount
issues and agail9autlined his stand
on the major quesdsas,. -
Calls On Democrats.
He called upon democrats to
answer the following charges, which
he said they had declined to reply to
thus far in the campaign: That dem
ocratic mismanagement had brought
us to the brink of an Industrial crisis
in 1914 and is now leading us to-
ward another preciDice: That unDre-
paredness for war because Of politi-
cal expediency cost us untold mil
tlions Of dollars and many precious
lives; That the democratic admins
tration was equally unprepared for
peace and reconstruction; that it
created a fearful financial burden
which this and future generations
will have to pay thru it's experiment
with the railroad, it's Industrial pol
icy and the retention Of hundreds Of
thousands of unnecessary govern
ment employees; that the democratic
administration has been one of gro
tesque inefficiency; that it has per-
vaded the form of government and
overridden the constitution by main
tanning extreme and undemOcratic
Capitalization of power.
Putting up these indictments,
Harding said he wished to lead the
American people out Of this Jungle
of Encouragement" and into light
of "stable good fortune"

Hen Swallowed 5000 Diamond.

Two hundred dollars is quite a
value to place on a single hen unless
she has a list of royal ancestors as
long as ones arm. Yet Manly boasts
that 1t was the home of such a fowl.
There was no watered stock about it
either. The bird was actually worth
$500 and deserves a place in history
along with the famed bird that laid
the golden egg. Mrs. j. L. Mantz
was the owner of the precious fowl.
Recently when she was feeding her
little flock diamond ring valued at
5000 slipped off her finger. There
was a wild scramble for the giisten-
ing object. In the confusion the own
er of the jewel was unable to tell
hich member of her flock had swal-
lowed it. There was but one way to
find out-kill the chickens and inves-
tigate. Several of the chickens had
suffered under the AK and Mrs.
Mantz was commencing to despair OF
finding the treasure when one day
last week she uncovered it in the
craw Of one of the hens where it
was resting snugly and none the
worse for it's adventure.
