WANTS TO DOUBLE
POST MEMBERSHIP
Commander Rice Anxious For
Full Meeting of Legion
Members Saturday

II N1aNiooli L Oot VI lLiS ALiNi iNoh
Legion will begin preparations
for its first membership drive at
a meeting at the court house or
the night OF Saturday, January
I31st.
Post Commander Harry D.
Rice has urged that all ex-service
men be present who possibly can
There are over $50 members OF
the local post and he is very anx-
ious to double the membership il
possible. There were over | SOC
men from Madison who served in
active duty in the great war. Mr.
Rice believes that at least a third
of them will join their organza-
ton. He is pointing out to them
that the American Legion is an
organization of the men who
served in the army, navy Nor ma
rine corps during the great war
1t is purely a civilian organiza-
ton and carries with it no obli-
cation or duties that any Ameri-
can citizen would not gladly sub
scribe to.
The American Legion is not a
military or quasi-military organi-
zation. 1t has no connection di-
rect or indirect, with any military
Organization, state or national.
No man renders himself liable for
military duty in any form what
soever by joining The American
Legion.
The American Legion is not an
officers club. 1t has registered
protest against organizations for
officers only, just as it has done
against organizations for enlisted
men only.
The American Legion has pro-
hibited the use of titles or refer
ence to rank in the organization
and has declared that the General
and the Doughboy, the Admiral
and the Cob, shall serve together
on terms of absolute equality.
The American Legion is not a
political organization. No ex-ser-
vice man need fear that the or
ganizationwill be used to promote
the political prestige of any mem
Der or class of members. The
national organization of the Le-
|gion has decreed that no man who
holds, or is a candidate for public
elective office shall hold office in
the American Legion. Of course,
many ex-service men will go into
politics. 1t is right and proper
that they do so. Many of them
will run for public office but they
will do so as individuals and on
their own merits and not as can
didates of the American Legion
or with the endorsement of the
American Legion as an organiza-
|tion.
Of the four million, eight hun
dred thousand soldiers, sailors,
and marines, who served during
1.-THE great war, over one million
have joined the American Legion
land great strides have been made
in organization. Every state in
the country is organized and t is
| the desire of Kentucky to have
every county organized before
this drive is over.

A REAL HIGH CLASS ORCHESTRA

Everyone is talking about the
Derson orchestra that is playing for
the Richmond picture shows this
week and last.
Miss Helen Derson, the voilinist, is
almost in a class by herself in her
line of work and Manager Peterson
with his saxaphone, has given some
greatly appreciated solos. In fact the
work of the entire membership is
superfne, and is a great feature each
day. Packed houses have greeted
them each day. Douglas Fairbanks
drew standing room-only crowd last
night, as he has always does. There
is no one in his class.

An Educational pageant entitled
THE Light" will be presented on

ing of the pageant with over 100 pu-
pills taking various parts. Each de-
partment of the local school will be

plans. The children are already show
ing much interest in the coming pro-
duction and it is assured that 1t will
be decided success.

EVIDENCES GROWING
THAT STRIKE IS
FAR FROM GENERAL
Output Approaching Normal
Again in Many Mills
Which Are Operating

The following information has
been received at Bemidji with refer
ence to the strike conditions in Wis
consin and Michigan: Oshkosh group
No. around Wausau produced, May
5th, $4,000 feet out of normal
100000. Soperton shipping 20 per
cent normal, Fountain Campbell mill
at Ladysmith now up to g. per cent
normal. Stevenson at Wells have 80
more men back. Many men are show
ing lack OF confidence at Oconto. Sop
erton, Nahma, Trout Creek, Toma-
hawk, some at Merrill privately con-
ceding the strike failure. The en-
tire Atiga district is running fine.
The press is widely recognizing that
the early claims of complete triumph
were wildly extravagant.
1t has also been reported around
Bemidji that men are badly needed in
Idaho around the mills at Occur d.
Alene and Rosepoint. Investigation
has been made and a statement from
Winton headquarters who are oper-
ating largely there, advised that
there are plenty Of men there and
everything is running to capacity.

NEARLY ALL SITES FOR
LAND CLEARING HAVE
ALREADY BEEN LOCATED
University Demonstrations Ex-
pected to Draw Hundreds
of Farmers

St. Paul, May 8.-Prof A. D. Will
son, chief Of the division of agri-
cultural extension, University of Min
nesota, reports that sites have been
obtained for land clearing demon
STATIONS in all towns but one of the
twenty-one points which will be WIS.,
tied by the land clearing train.
Prof. Wilson spent several days
upstate while selecting sites, and
says the liveliest interest is being
taken in the land clearing expedi-
ton, which Is being prompted jointly
by the Minnesota College of Agricul-
ture, the railroads and the business
men of St., Paul and Minneapolis. The
people are interested, he says, and
will flock in large numbers to the
demonstrations. An attendance Of
1000 is predicted at many points.
The experience of early settlers
has shown that it pays to clear land
for modern farming in northern Min
nesota. The land on which is locat-
ed the Northeast experiment station
near Duluth was originally covered
by heavy growth Of timber. It was
cleared in 1914-15 to the stump stage
and according to M. J. Thompson,
superintendent, the timber products
more than paid the cost Of clearing
The outstanding crops of. the cut
over country are hay, potatoes, ruta-
bagas, oats and barley. Station rec
ords kept by Mr.. Thompson for sew
eral years, show that these crops have
a substantial profit tor the growers.

Schmahl and Schilling An
nounce Withdrawal a. Can

PREUS AT NOON TODAY
ISSUED NO STATEMENT
Louis Collins Has Strongest
Following So Far for
Lieut.. Governor
(By United Press)

St. Paul. May S.-As the republic
can state elimination convention met
today strong efforts were being made
to secure the adoption OF state plat
form and nominate harmony candi-
date for governor to head the state
ticket
Following the withdrawal of secre-
tary of state Schmahl and w. F.
Schillng from the convention, strong
pressure was brought to bear on state
auditor Preus to secure his with
drawal in interest of harmony. Preus
had issued no statement at noon.
The lobby talk this morning showed
sentiment for Preus, Michael j. Dow
ling Of Olivia, Fred Hadley of Wtnne-
bago, county attorney Nicholas of
Jackson county, who prosecuted
Townley, representative Christian
son and state senator Putnam OF Blue
Earth. Louis Collins Of Minneapolis
apparently has the strongest follow

Another reas why more
room is needed schools.
The Bemidji Sc system
has no gymnasium there
fore much Of the most ssary
physical training is neected.
Many of the colds which are
contracted during the winter
and in some cases which lead
to tuberculosis are due to play
ing ball in a hall which is Meth
er heated nor ventilated and has
no place for shower baths.
There is nothing that can be
given the students that is of
greater value than that of build
ing up sound healthy bodies.
There is a school nurse who is
giving valuable service but that
is not enough. The army tests
and examinations showed that
one man of every five, between
the age of Fl and 81, was phys
ically disqualified for service.
Why? Because American faith
ers and mothers are neglecting
part of their duty.
Of course not all could be
traced back to the home and
school, but large per cent
could be: The people of Be-
midi want to do the right thing
for their children by giving
them the kind of physical educa-
ton that will insure for every
boy and girl a sound healthy
body. In some cases this
physical disqualification is due
directly to neglect of defective
teeth, eyes, ears and Threats,
and indirectly by lack Of inter-
est in building conditions,
crowded rooms and no play
room which are of vital i'm
portance to any school.

representative for Minnesota, an
nounced Friday that new steps have
been taken by Colonel r. G. Cholme-
ley-Jones, head of the War Rick in
surance department at Washington,
to insure. justice for ex-service men
disabled by. the war.
"Claims reviewers and examiners
will see that no awards Of compen-
sation are; reduced and otherwise
amended without new physical ex-
animation, for one held within that
current MONTH" Mr.. Thompson said
Friday, explaining clauses in the new
bulletin sent out by Colonel Cholme-
ley-Jones.
"This means that there will be no
more cutting OF temporary awards
without recent examination on
which to base the revision. The same
instructions contain direction that
no partial awards may be given when
q man is in hospital; this means that
every ex-service man and woman In
hospital with an illness or injury run
ming back to the service will be
awarded automatically temporary and
total disability and that there will be
no exception.
Even when no recent examination
report is on file, the awards Will be
continued until such examination can
be obtained, unless, of course, the
man refuses examination, which I'M
der the day may be the basis for
wit hdrawing If his CONDENSATION.
There have been no such cases yet.
"This will remove completely from
the minds of former service men the
fear they sometimes feel that their
compensation is being reduced be-
cause of their increased earnings,
which is not the case. The ruling
covers principally those cases where
an additional temporary compensa-
ton was given, above the physical
rating during time when man
was becoming accustomed to being
partly disabled
