Legion Convention
August Is, II, Is

Detailed arrangements for the
transportation, comfort, and enter
tainment of delegates to the annual
convention of The American Legion,
at Duluth, August 16, II, and IS, have
been completed according to announce
ment authorized today at state head
quarters by Harrison Fuller, depart
ment commander, and Horace G.. Whit
more, state adjutant.'
A reduced rate of one and one third
fare for the round trip has been OBJ
tanned for all delegates and members
of their families who will make use of
an Identification certificate prepar-
ed for that purpose. These certifi-
Gates bearing the signature of Adju-
tant Whitmore have been supplied to
every post adjutant who, in turn, will
issue them to Legionaires. The an
nouncement on the application states
that the tickets will be sold from
August IL to Is inclusive, that they
must be validated in Duluth from Aug
ust 16 to 81, inclusive, that they are
good for return use only on the date of
valuation, and that the holder must
reach his destination by midnight on
August %.
Commander Fuller and AdJutant
Whitmore have issued a formal con-
vention call, which contains other in
teresting information. Some of it,
follows:
Purpose. The convention is called
for the purpose of electing officers
for the ensuing year, amending the
department constitution, selecting the
time and place of the third annual de-
partment convention, selecting dele
gates and alternates to the second Ma
tional convention, and for the transac-
ton of other business.
Representation Representation
will be by post. Each post is entitled
to two delegates and two alternates,
provided it had at least fifteen paid
up members on July II, 1920. Posts
are entitled to one additional delegate
and one additional alternate for each

HUMAN NATURE
AND WEATHER

Restaurant men know that appetites
are not the same on a dark, gloomy
day as on day that is bright and
cheerful. The surprising thing is that
thing is that people eat most on the
day that is dark and dismal. On a
cloudy day peaple just sit and eat
Dentists know that people are slow
to make and quick to break appoint
ments on cloudy days. A cloudy day
is depressing and patients lack the
nerve to face the ordeal
But bad weather helps the physi-
clans. Lowered spirits make people
think they need the doctor.
Raincy days boost the mail order
business, because country people,
obliged to remain indoors, drive away
dull care by reading mail order cata-
logs.
Department store business is seri-
ously hurt by rain in the forenoon, but
rain in the early afternoon is great
help. Women refrain from starting
on shopping tours in the first instance,
in the second they are compelled to
remain in the store, and they shop
some more.
Most lines of business, however,
boom with sunshine. Architects, for
instance, find that few people come in
on gloomy days. 1t takes sunshine
to fire the owner of piece of ground
with visions of a beautiful house
standing.
Still, rainy June is highly profit
able to big awning concern, because
of the extra number of awning that
must be erected for June weddings
The wind counts: A windy day in
New York City costs a great cigar
concern about $4,000. Many men do
their smoking along the street, and it
is not pleasant to smoke in high
wind.
More candy and soda are sold at
three o'clock in the afternoon than at
any other time of the day. The next
best hour is eight o'clock in the ev-
ening. Five women buy soda water
to every four men. Women buy can
dy often than men, but men buy more
at time, so the sexes average equal
as candy purchasers.
Hot weather is good for ice cream
and soda sales, but only to certain
point. When the temperature goes
above figure sales fall off. The wealth
er is too hot for the exertion of walk
ing to a soda fountain. From ~ to
90 degrees seems to be the best for
soda sales.-Human Nature in Bust
ness.

lows: Y. Laws, Swift county; F. l..
Cliff, Big Stone; C. Burgess, Chippewa;
Frank Hopkins, Renville; Fl. P. Beng
ston, Yellow Medicine; G. C. Dale, Lac
qui Parle; S. B. Qvale, Kandiyohi; F.
A. Shipman, Stevens.
The conference became an "open
forum" following the organization.
The congressional situation was dis
cussed by numerous speakers includ-
ing J. F. jacobson of Lac qui Parle
county, Frank Hopkins of Renville,
Frank Murphy of Traverse, Senator
Cliff of Big Stone, Mr.. Anderson of
Traverse, Mr.. Qvale of Kandiyehi, Mr..
Laws of Swift, Mr.. Bengston of Vel
low Medicine, Mr. Condit of Big Stone.
Though every detail of the congress
sional situation was considered, the
one big idea that gripped the confer
ence was that expressed by j. f. JAG
OLSON and emphasized by others that
Andrew J. Volstead will be reelected
to congress in the November election.
That there might be no uncertain
ty about the unanimity of the desire
and action in the matter, the sugges-
ton of F. w. Murphy that the coun-
ty delegations caucus informally was
approved. After a brief intermission
during which the delegates mingled,
with no discordant note, the conven-
ton rose as one man and made the
pledge, "Andrew j. Volstead for Con
gress."
A campaign committee of one mem
Der for each was appointed to direct
the campaign. This committee will
determine the method of getting Mr.
Valstead's name on the ballot and have
charge of the congressional campaign.

es in the profits that had been expect
ed. Most manufacturers are working
with the retailer, helping them to ab-
sorb the loss.
But not Mr.. Wood. He does not
want to shoulder his share OF the
shrinkage He refuses to bear his just
part Of the burden in the return OF
business to a steady, normal basis. He
is exercising every effort to prevent
that return by running his factories
lon short time. He is spreading the
shrinkage that should show up on his
books in three ways. On one end the
manufacturers who cloth from Mr..
Wood are taking the loss. On the 9TH
er are the wool growers, whose con-
dition has been made so hard by Mr..
Wood that the Federal reserve board
has had to come to their aid to pre-
vent them from being wholly ruined.
In the middle are his employees, whom
he is turning out to become tramps.
Now, Mr.. Wood is an employe of
the public, in a broad sense, just as
| much as the weaver or carder of wool
! is an employe of Mr.. Wood. When
the weaver or carder deliberately
slows down his efforts, or throws a
monkey wrench into some machinery
| to fetard production, he is guilty OF
sabotage. Mr.. Wood in a different
| way. is slackening production. He is
practicing sabotage on large scale.
| There are laws to punish wrench
| threwers and to prevent them from
keeping up their sabotage. There
ought to be law to stop Mr.. Woods
sabotage. 1t is too bad that the gov
ernment hasn't power to seize Mr..
Woods factories and keep them run
ming six days week.
And the irony of this affair is that
Mr. Wood is one of those who has re-
peatedly advised the public that the
only method of return from high pric-
es increased production. The differ
ence between Mr.. Wood and the indus
trial anarchist of the soap box is that
the latter takes it out in harsh words,
while Mr.. Wood speaks softly and acts
| harshly.

Sabotage.

Sioux City Tribune: William M.
Wood, head of the wollen combine,
has been in the spotlight twice recent
ly.
Now, for the third time, Mr.. Wood
has the public attention This time
he appears as disciple of sabotage.
The reaction in buying by consumers
and the throwing on the market of
wearing apparel held for speculation,
in the expectation of European buy
ing, has foreshadowed a drop in pric-
es soon or later. All along the line

which, during Mr.. Grasty's tenure
of Office as president, grew from an
infant organization to strong union
having nearly one thousad members:
Whereas every farmer in 'Vir-
ginia is ready to do mis- part during
the era of reconstruction that lies
ahead of us, and we, the members of
the Augusta county farmers union
have learned from experience that
without an organization to protect
our interests at Washington both The
producer and consumer will suffer on
account of the profteers, and
Whereas out Of 531 members of
congress there are said to be not more
than dozen members who even
claim to be farmers, the Augusta
county farmers union is Of the opir
ion that the time has come when the
farmers should have at least an equ:t
able amount of representation in con-
\sress. We do not ask for any special
fayors, but we do ask for square
deal; and
whereas our former president,
the Hon. J. II. C. Grasty, has done
more than any man in Augusta coun-
ty to build up the farmers union at

On November end the work Of the
Good Roads Association goes to the
test at the polls. il the roads amend
ment is passed, the Association can
write success" Oh the greatest piece
of work IT has ever set forth to ac-
complish during its years of service
in the State. With this thought in
mind members and their friends and
associates should work harder than
ever before to secure the passage Of
the amendment that will result in
almost untold good.
Between now and November End
members of the Association should
think. talk and live for better high
ways. The spirit Of enthusiasm
which will be created by this attitude
will go far toward victory.
There is only one way by which
Better highways can be secured. That
is through a series of State bond
issues, 1t is no longer productive Of
good to talk of what an advantage
better roads would be. That is self
evident. NOW Is the time to settle
the issue decisively. No member Of
the Association should spare himself

NAPKINS NOT JUST SUITABLE
But Man Meant Well, and Fortunately

Of Humor.

The parents of the pupils of large

the teachers a surprise dinner party.
Accordingly they took charge of the
building one evening, herded the
teachers in one room and made ready
the table for the dinner. But just
as everybody was about ready they
found that they had forgotten nap

ingly telephoned her husband who
worked In a department store. "The
colors are pink and white SO bring
something appropriate" she told him.
He bought them-pink nd white.
But when they were opened they dis
played storks holding in their mouths
the time-honored new babies. The
hostesses were horror stricken but

Side Whisker Back In London.

The London exquisite is doing his
best to cultivate side whiskers, fash
ion that was somewhat frowned upon
q few years ago when Lord Rocksav-
aee attempted Its resurrection. But
that was in the days before the war
and probably 1t is as change from
the regulation military mustache of
the last FIVE or six years that British
young men Of today are growing tufts
Of hair in front of their ears with most
hideous result.
The earl Of Lonsdale and his BROTH
or, the Hon. Lancelot Lowther, have
always been famous In the fashionable
world for. wearing "sideboards," but in
this hirsute face fitting they are usual
ly credited with desire to suggest the
sporting atmosphere in which they
are generally to be found.
