Up to June 80, 1920, 2,os5 projects

rotary of agriculture. The prelim-
mary estimate of the cost of these
projects is approximately S3S4,90O,0OO,
OF which approximately S163.S4l,0oO
will be approved as federal aid. On

HONOR TO CENTRALlA DEAD
National Commander and Party Visit
Graves OF Legion Men Killed Dur
ing City Parade.

The head Of the American Legion
journeyed all the way to Centralia,
WASH. to pay homage at the graves
of the four men who were slain by
members Of the /. w. w. last Armisi
tice day. Two hundred Legion men
and women accompanied Franklin
D'Olier. their national commander, on
his visit to the scene of the tragedy,
and stood with bowed heads in Noun
tain View cemetery ms he pledged the
Legion to everlasting reverence to the
memory of its martyred members.
There was nothing of rancor In
boilers reference to the men who
killed the peaceful paraders. But the
speech served warning, as hundreds Of
other incidents of Legion history of
the last year have served warning,
that the Legion is a wall of steel
against all advocates of violence,
whether they dub themselves "wob-
blles" or parlor bolshevlsts.
81 come here as to the shrine of the
American LEGION said D'0ller, stand
Ing at the foot of the grave OF War
rem Grimm, killed at the head Of the
Armistice day parade. "Centralla will
mean to the Legion what Bunker Hill,
Gettysburg and Chateau Thlerry mean
to the nation. At these places, the
spirit of America met the enemy and
triumphed. Here, in Centralia, the
spirit Of the American Legion likewise
met the enemy of our country and tri-
umphed.'
As representative Of the nearly two
million members OF the Legion, Dol
Ter laid wreath of flowers on Grimm's
grave. In the crowd were Grimm's old
friends in Centralla and friends of
Dale Hubbard, Ben Casagranda and
Arthur McElfresh, who also were slain.
at is fitting that here today We
should renew cur pledge of patriotism
and devotion to law ana 0rder ana
serve notice on the forces of anarchy
that more than four million ex-service
men, who fought and defeated the foe
without, are now sworn TO fight to the
death the foe within, who would work
injury TO our sacred institutions. Our
inspiration shall be our martyrs and
the restraint shown by their outraged
comrades. By dedlcatng ourselves to
the defense of our flag and all that
Il means. defense based on fairness
and Justice, we shall prove that our
comrades In France and Centrala have
not died In vain," the commander con-
cluded.

Born in a box-car on the way to the
battlellelds of Poland last fall, and
with Its membership today sadly de-
pleted by casualties, KosciuskO post
of the American Legion, formed out
of the American aviators who COM
pose the famous KosciuskO squadron,
is regarded as the strangest and most
adventurous of the 5000 units Of the
veterans organization.
In the fighting about Warsaw when
the fate of the Polish capital hung in
doubt the Leglonnaires of the Kosci-
uskO squadron were battling night and
day against the advancing waves of
the bolsheviki. When the tide of bat
tie turned and the reds retreated the
machine gun fire from the planes of
the Americans went far to turn their
retreat into rout.
The men of Kosciusko post are
hardened veterans. A year ago they
signed up for service with the Polish
army after they had flown battle
planes In many engagements against
the Germans In the World war. Sent
out on active service shortly after
their squadron was formed these adj
ventlirers fought on every front In

Valuable Facts About farming.

For the past fifty years, the state
Experiment Stations and the United
States Department OF Agriculture
have been collecting valuable facts
about farming that were never KNOWN
before. This information put INTO
practice will double the profit III
farming in many different, lines. Yet
the greater portion Of 1t is not being
used by the farmers OF tne country.
There may be several reasons why
this information is not being USED;
but one important one Is that the
farmer has not been educated to read
farming literature, and many class
this information under the head or
Book Farming" not suitable for the
man who is after bigger crops more
cheaply produced
The Farm Demonstration system
has been developed to correct this
misunderstanding among farmers ana
to scatter the information; but at
best the farm demonstrators can only
help to correct a mistake in the FAR
mers education and must be classed
as repair man" The High school
teacher of agriculture strikes at the
root Of the trouble, and trains the far'
mer while yet boy and learner to
select the information he wants and
use 1t wisely
We used to train printers, shoema-
kers, blacksmiths, tailors, etc, In the
home shop; but now the most capa-
bic young workmen in these lines are
first partly trained in the school I'm
der modern conditions it is essential
that our future successful farmers
learn something about farming in
schools while gaining other forms OF
learning necessary in our great stage
Of civilization

CITY SCOUTS IN "HOLD.UP"

When the five boy scouts who were
chosen by contest to represent the five
boroughs of Greater New York to tour
the great national parks as guests Of
the Far Western Travellers association
were departing from New York, John
b. Patton, president of the association,
said he regretted that the city boys
would not be able to see life as 1t was
In the early days of highwaymen. One
of the boys remarked: Don't mind
that, Mr.. Patton, we know the wild
west has been tanned and that there
are more hold ups right here at home
every week than there are out there
in a year, only we don't very often
see them"
However the five city boys did get
the thrill of their lives when they were
actually held up by n highwayman be-
fore their trip was half over. This
was near the end Of July when the
boys were on their way to Yosemite
rark. Scout Herbert Jacob, thirteen
years old, the youngest member of the
party, sent the following description Of
their experience to Scout Executive
Worden, of the Queen county council,
which he represents:
1--WE had some wonderful adventures
in Yosemite park At MERGED we
boarded the stage for Glacier Point
Before arriving in the big tree district
we encountered log lying across the
road. Behind II was man with a
wicked-l0oking shotgun leveled right
at our heads. Gee the bore looked
as big rs an apple. The man was
dressed in blue overalls, with dirty
blue serge jacket over them. He was
about 50 years old and was not very
large. He ordered hands up OF
course we willingly obeyed.
"Just then our driver recovered his
wits and said; 'Aw, Boss, they're on
~ bunch of Boy Scouts After giving
us the once over 1--WE do not know
what was going on in his mind, and
probably feeling spark OF patriotism,
he told us to put our hands down, but
warned the driver not to move. In a
few minutes the two other stages ar
rived on the scene and we had the
pleasure of seeing the occupants line
up and shell out The bandit must
have been about 500 richer when he
made his getaway. Think Of 1t, a
hold-up in these years! 1t was just
our luck to have II, too"

Religion.

Religion lies in the experience Of
soul and not the conditions of en-
vironment. One may have the latter
wholly at variance with his comfort
and interests and yet be able to say
that neither heights nor depths nor
principalltles nor powers, nor things
seen, nor things unseen, shall be able
to separate him from the love Of God
which is in Christ Jesus. The conso-
Iation of the Almighty are precious TO
the souls Of the instructed. They can
say with the apostle Paul, those things
which were gain for me counted Ioss
far Christ.

inst what condition the bank was left
