~ A. O. Birchenough
At Methodist Church

"A large audience was in attendance
at the First Methodist church Sunday
evening to hear Rev. A.. o. Birch
enough. "the fighting parson' of st.
Thomas. N. D.. speak upon 1.-THE
Church and Democracy"
Mr.. Birchenough gave an extensive
discussion Of the subject, maintaining
that democracy was discovered by
Christ as the head of the church.
Christ, he maintained. was the first to
recognize the individual. which is the
essential Of democracy. Democracy
is made up of units and is no greater
than its units; it is the duty of the
United States to take democracy to
the world, or in other words, to help
the units which must compose a de-
mocracy.s
One point brought out by Mr..
B~irchenough in a striking way re-
garding United States mission was
that unless we send our culture to the
old and heather countries, the other
countries will send US their disease,
and otherwise bring us into trouble.
He announced that Bishop c. w.
Burns would speak in the NJ. E.
church next Sunday.

large boiler known as a digester, I'M
der steam pressure. This breaks up
the FIBER and extracts the sugar. To
prevent injurious effects, the acid is
neutralized by adding lime to produce
chemical reaction.
The liquid thus obtained, when
boiled down, is rich in sugar, and when
mixed with the fiber produces a moist
feed containing about Is per cent of
water, in which form it is fed to dairy
cows.
At the forest products laboratory,
United States department of agricul-
ture, Madison, Wis, experiments
proved that three cows thrived on this
sawdust ration and not only gave more
milk, but increased in weight. So says
Uncle Sam.
The result was so satisfactory that
the government has decided to take
the matter up on larger scale at the
experiment stations throughout the
country and furnish a detailed report
on the value of hydrolyzed sawdust as
cattle food. So says Uncle Sam.
So there you are. Probably milk,

How a post of the American Lee
gion purified little oil-boOm town In
Texas when respect for law and order
had become a mockery is told in the
American Legion Weekly.
DesdemOna, Tex, was hardly more
than stop for wayfarers on the road,
a slumbrous, dusty community, until
oil came and the town took on new life
and lured hosts of brawny adventur-
ers. The treasure hunters came to
prospect and pioneer, but, as is inevi-
tably the case, there followed after
them a horde of shifty-eyed gentry
and red-lipped women. The word was
passed out that the lid was off in Des-
demona.
Then the ring ran up against The
American Legion. Individually for a
long time the members of Peavy-Brice
post tried quietly to combat the spread
of vice in Desdemona. The ring, aid
ed by the town constable, deputy
sheriff and the justice of the peace, de-
cided that it would crush this organi-
zation of veterans who stood for ideals
that were not compatible with places
Of unsavory repute. 1t began by
threatening the Legionnaires with vio-
lence and when it found them unwil-
ling to retaliate it grew more AFRO
CANT. The post quietly called a cap
tain of Texas rangers from Austin.
