Natures Natural Processes.

We are living on a globe we call
solid, but in fact it is plastic and
changeable, with gaseous ocean
above us and liquid one below It.
From these three factors all organic
life is created and upon them it de-
ponds for its existence. Vegetable life
derives its life and body from certain
chemical combinations, induced by the
action of the suns radlations. AMI
NAL life depends on vegetable
life, and also serves other ami
mails as food. All these return to
mother earth and thus pay the debt
they borrowed. From this we learn
that what is death and destruction of
one is life of another. Wherefore
what we call waste and destruction ls
only necessary and unavoidable
process OF the living functions of
mother earth.-Exchange

LEGI0N'S FOURFOLD PROGRAM
Members Urged to FamiIiarize Them
selves With Facts Concerning Ben
eflciai Legislation.

The American Leglon's fourfoId op-
tional plan of beneficial legislation en-
braces the following provisions:
l. Land settlement, whereby ex-
service men will be assisted In pur-
chasing a farm In any state. reimburs-
Ing the government for funds adj
vanced by easy payments extending
over a period Of ten years or more.
2. Home aid, whereby ex-service men
will get government assistance in pur-
chasing a home.
g. Vocational training, whereby an
ex-service man may learn a trade or
vocation with the assistance of the
government
4. Adjusted compensation based on
length of military service. This would
go automatically to the benefiCiaries
Of those who died in service, to all dis
abled men, and to those ex-service men
who do not elect to avail themselves
OF one of the foregoing provisions.
The plan is designed to overcome
the financial disadvantages incidental
TO military service. It is the result Of
a careful study of the needs and
wishes Of eX-service men of every
state. The economic value to the
United States of re-establishing the
ex-soldier in the present period of re-
adjustment and low production is con-
sidered to be great.
The legion has asked that congress-
In meeting the nations obligation to
the ex-seryice man. be as liberal as is
consistent with the welfare Of the
country. It has recommended that
the extent to which assistance is CIV
en- the individual ex-service man be
based upon his length of service.
Members of the legion are urged to
familiarize themselves with these
facts so that they may assist in dis
polling the misunderstanding now sur
rounding the legiOn's program.

Ohio Post Sets Record.

Springfield, O., has hung up a record
In getting new members for the Legion
that other communities will have a
hard time lettering. The Springfield
post put on its campaign for four
days recently. The city was organized
into ward and precinct teams. Solicit
tors worked in pairs and backed APP
pllcants into corners and took their
cash, usually without protest. The
names of men who refused to join
we're turned in at post headquarters
and n corps Of expert statesmen were
put on the trail of these hard nuts.
The friendly cooperation of business
houses, newspapers and morton pic
ture theaters was secured. The result
doomed up when the dust settled after
the four days and it was discovered
that the post had increased Its mem
oership from $50 to 100.

Door Mats Grown In America.

Growing of door mats has been car
ried out for some time in certain
parts of America, the only articles
required being some pieces Of old
sacking, or any similar material, and
common grass seed, says Detroit News
The sacking is cut to the desired size
and shape and then moistened with
water and placed on level soil. Grass
seed is then sowed rather thickly over
the surface of the saCking, the whole
covered with paper so as to shade 1t
from the strong sun and keep 1t pro-
tected for about a week, at the end
of which time the seed will have germ
mated. The cover is then removed.
Every three or four days the mat is
moved TO fresh position to prevent
the roots fastening themselves to the
soil beneath. After a week or. ten
days, when the mat has dried and the
grass turned a nice shade of green.
the mat is ready for use. The little
grass plants hold on TO the canvas
most tenaciously, even when they are
dead, this being due to the fact that
the root hairs become entangled In
the rough hairs of the sacking and are
extremely difficult to remove.

OBJECTS OF THE AUXILIARY
Women's Branch Of Legion Has Same
Ideas and Plans as Mems
Organization.

The objects of the women's auxil-
larry are the same as those expressed
In the constitution of the American
Legion, and as that constitution was
adopted couformably to the act OF
congress of September Is, 1919, incor-
porating the legion, the auxiliary and
all its units
For God and Country" reads the
preamble to the constitution, 1--WE as
sociate ourselves together for the fol
lowing purposes:
ITO uphold and defend the Constitu-
ton of the United States of America !;
to maintain law and order, to foster
and perpetuate 100 per cent Ameri
cansm; to preserve the memories and
incidents of our association in the
great war; to incucate sense of in
dividual obligation to the community,
state and nation; to combat the autoc-
racy of both the classes and the
masses; to make right the master Of
might to promote peace and good will
on earth; to safeguard and transmit
to posterity the principles Of justice,
freedom and democracy; to consecrate
and sanctify our comradeship by our
devotion to mutual helpfulness."
There are many forces which have
served to give impetus to the move
ment among eligible American women
to become actively identified with the
legion through one or another Of its
more than 1000 community posts but
to this preamble. more than to any
other one thing, is attributed the sue.
cess and nationwide enthusiasm
which has greeted everywhere the
suggestion of forming an auxiliary
unit When 1t is considered that this
suggestion usually comes from the in
dividual legionnaire direct to his
mother, wife. sister or daughter. who
in turn transmits 1t to women rela-
tives of other leGionnaires in her
community, thus invited to Join by the
double instlgation both within and out
side the immediate family circle, ii is
easily understood that such an appeal
proves almost universally irresistible

TREASURE OF PIRATE GOLD
Remarkable Collection That Is Dis
played in Museum Of the Univer-
atty of Pennsylvania.

The largest collection of the gold
work of the Aztecs, the Incas ana

vania The collection contains $4,000
900 worth of pirate gold, some of
which has never been melted down be-
cause Of its exquisite workmanship.
Part Of the ancient collection had

bad been brought to New York by its
discoveries. The other part Is COM

French family descended from some
branch of early Spanish royalty, who

ders. The Incas collection also con-
tans a death mask OF thin, beaten

Cal, combating these low-grade ore problems and they are meeting with marked success. In Minnesota alone it is estimated the reserve of low grade magnetic iron ores amounts to some .forty-billion tons. Until recent ly these ores, including vast deposits of the Cuyuna Range, had been un- touched because there has been no process devised for treating them proftably.
 In Pittsburgh, the work of the Bu- reau of Mines has been very gradual ly exploited and the experiment sta- tion- has dealt largely with all the problems of mining, including thosa of mine safety. The particular prob lens of this territory have to do with coal mining and safety methods for combating mine gases and explosions. Great savings have also been effected through the work of the experiment. station at Bartlesville, Okla, where economic methods of oil drilling and stopping of waste in the natural gas fields has presented a problem.

MERGING THE RAILROADS.

It is entirely practicable from an economic and business standpoint Q combine the railroads of the country into systems which will fulfill the purposes contemplated by the pro- visions outlined in section of the CunminS bill; that such a, system of transportation once established would simplify the problem of rate making and overcome many other difficulties incident to regulation; that greater efficiency of operation would result and the public would be better served; that unnecessary duplication of facilities and much waste of capi- tai would be avoided; that benefits of unified management which developed under Federal control would be more easily preserved.
 Consultations should be made largely on the basis of values deter mined by demonstrated earning ca pacity with such adjustment of cap italization on the part of the weak roads, both in form and amount, as might be necessary to establish the
