legion Receives
Handsome Sum
THE YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION TURN OVER
100000.

Robert H. Tyndall, National Treas
urer of The American Legion, re-
ceived from the National War Work
Council of the Young Mems Christian
Associations of the United States
check for 100000. With the check
was letter from John R. Mott, Cen
eral Secretary, as follows:
"At the joint meeting of the Exc
cutive and Finance Committees of the
National War Work Council of the
Young Mems Christian Association,
held in New York, / was authorized
to send to you, as the National Treas
urer Of the American Legion, the sun,
of four hundred thousand dollars
($400,000) on account of the gift of
the National War Work Council o:
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton to the American Legion, as re-
ported to Mr.. Franklin D'Olier by
Mr.. William Sloane and myself in our
communication to him under date of
February 7, 1920. 1t gives me Plea
sure to send you at this tire our
check for this amount Of $500 600.
1--WE indicated in our letter referred
to above that the total amount of the
gift would be approximately 100000.
gift as soon as we have received from
overseas the final audited figures on
the canteen amount. Our estimated
figure of approximately 100000, is
based on cabled reports"
The money will be invested in safe
securities pending the formal appoint
ment of the Fletcher-American Ma
tional Bank of indianapolis as trus-
tee, the Executive Committee of the
Legion having decided that the money
be held as trust fund for a period
of five years, the principal sum to be
invested and re-invested, the income
to be used for the benefit of disabled
ex-service men or for work in con-
nection with the National American
ism Commission of the American Le-
gion, the donors having expressed
this preference.
The money represents surplus
from the operation of post exchange
or canteens in. France, which the
Young Mems Christian Association
undertook at the request of General
Pershing, in connection with its other
work for the American Expeditionary
Force. 1t was the practice of the As
ISOLATION from the outset to make no
profit whatever from this business,
which during the war amounted to
$37, 100000. The Association assum-
ed whatever loss was incurred.
On March 81, last year, this loss APP
peared to be $1,478,08414 and was
charged on the Associations books to
the cost of operating the canteens
This cost included only the actual cost
of the articles sold, in addition to
estimated cost of transportation and
insurance. The prices did not include
wages or living allowance, travelling
expenses of canteen workers, rent of

Rutabagas Good in
Winter For Hens

Poultry producers of Barnum, says
~. E. Chapman of University Farm,
depend largely on rutabagas for their
winter green feed. The roots are cut
in half and stuck on nails where the
hens can help themselves. This is an
easy way of furnishing green feed.
In other sections, where rutabagas
are not commonly grown, green feed
in winter months is furnished by
means of sprouting grain. A peck of
oats or barley can be converted into a
bushel of green feed in from three to
five days. A g. or 10 quart pail full
of this sprouted material will do as a
noon feed for 100 hens.

Chickens Made to Pay

Mrs. Mary Pettieger, of Major
County, Okla, is a successful poultry
woman and also local poultry demon
strator She set $500 eggs last year
and sold LOIS baby chicks. She also
disposed of 200 pullets for breeding
purposes, and during the year sold
dozen eggs on the market and TOO
dozen eggs for Matching. Some of
the feed for the flock was raised by
their owner, but the rest was bought.
Besides buying a SITS incubator,
which holds 600 eggs, and a $23

The use of the gymnasium either
by individuals or groups otherwise
than in accordance with this rule is
prohibited.
This rule is not made to limit or
restrict the use of the gymnasium, but
on the contrary, by avoiding confusion
and disorder, to lead its largest posi-
BILE use.
1t is desired that all classes Of the
community shall use this gymnasium
for exercise and recreation. A special
invitation is extended to classes in all
the Sunday schools or churches and
in the public schools to plan under
their teachers or other leaders for
such use.
For the convenience Of any group
who have not secured a leader, the
custodian of the community house will
suggest list of persons who have
consented so far as their time will
permit to act as leader for any groups
requesting their services.

mittee who were opposed to the
League and their decision was acqui-
esced in by the rest of US outside the
committee. The anti-League commit
teemen accepted this wordy declara-
ton because, first, it repudiated the
League of Nations, secondly it did not
mention reservations and thirdly, it
affirmed the policies of Washington
and Monroe. Mr.. Lodge himself ap-
peared before the committee and did
not desire the endorsement of the
reservations which bore his name. The
Republican Party therefore stands
committed, whatever may be sought
to be read into some of the weazel
words of the plank adopted, to repud
iation of the League even with reserv-
ations and to a reafirmation of the
pation-old policy of Washington,
friendship with all nations, entang-
ling alliances with none, and the
policy of Monroe including the Mon
roe Doctrine It would have been in
finitely better, of course, had the plat
form said these things in simple brief
sentences; but the platform does say
them nevertheless, and the long hard
fight has not been in vain. The plank
presented by Mr.. Crane and the New
Workers was decisively defeated. If
the friends of the so-called Legaue,
draw any consolation from the plat
FORMS refusal to endorse the League
or to mention the reservations, none
will begrudge it to Senator
Riram W. Johnson in August Sunset.

Watch Your Checks

Every year about this time of the
season some accommodating merchant
is left holding the sack because he is
kind enough to cash check handed
him by a stranger. We know of at
least two such happenings in Beloit
last Saturday, in which the checks
proved to be forgeries. It makes no
difference how good the man is whose
name appears on a check, it is only
reasonable and good business for the
one to whom the check is presented
by a stranger to call up the party
whose name is signed and verify the
signature as we'll as the amount for
which the check calls. Such proceed
ure doesn't take much time and has
been known to save check cashiers
good money.-Beloit Call.

URGES SAVING OF TREES BY
USE OF WASTE PAPER
Waste Reclamation Service Recon-
mends Fullest Utilization of the
Waste in Paper Manufacture


mends Fullest Utilization of the
Waste in Paper Manufacture
Every ton of waste paper that can
be substituted in paper manufacture
will save eight trees of mature growth
required to produce a ton of wood
pulp, and we are sending annually to
the dump 100000 tons of waste paper
representing substituted power for at
least 100000 trees of mature
growth says the Waste Reclamation
Service of the Department of Com
merce, in urging more extensive use
of waste paper as raw material in
paper manufacture.
The United States with its 10000
or more newspapers is said to publish
nearly one2half the total number of
newspapers in the world, the aggre-
gate circulation for the United States
and Canada being given as 1885,
600 for dailies and 1928, 700 for
Sunday papers in 1919. These fig
ures indicate the enormous quantity
of newsprint paper required by the
daily press, exclusive of that used in
other branches of the publishing bust
ness.
This newsprint paper made up four
fifths of the total vale of imported
paper and paper manufacture in the
country in 1919, says the Division of
Statistics, Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce. Imports of news
print paper in 1919 increased 5 per
cent in quantity and % per cent in
value over 1913 imports and 1919 ex-
ports showed an increase of Ia per
cent in quantity and 25 per cent in
value over those of the previous year
Argentina was the chief purchaser
from US of both newsprint and all 9th
er printing paper in 1919 and Canada
is the chief source of all classes of
pulp wood and wood pulp as well as
printing paper imported into the
United States.
Some years ago the United States
produced the entire supply of wood
pulp consumed, but the domestic in
dustry is no longer able to supply
raw materials.
In urging the salvage of waste pa
per, the Waste Reclamation Service
says that the largest tonnage of waste
paper consists of any and every sort
and scrap of paper such as old news
papers and its chief use is for paper
: boxes, roofing and building boards,
paper shipping containers and wrap
ping paper. More than 100000
tons of ordinary waste papers are
used for boxes and shipping contain
ers alone, the use of waste papers for
this purpose preventing the consump-
ton of over 1,0O0,0OO,00O feet of
lumber annually. To a limited extent
say pulp and paper experts at the For
est Products Laboratory at Madison,
Wise, old newspapers are used in
making new print paper but the re-
sulting paper is weak and requires an
addition of sulphite pulp to give the
finished product the requisite strength
Repulped old news stock cannot be so
readily run through the paper ma
chimes, but its use in the manufacture
of boxes, wrapping paper, etc, is
thoroughly practicable and satisfact-
DRY. A great variety of old paper is
used by the paper industry ranging
from the best qualities of old book
paper for which Sc hundred pounds
mill price is quoted to waste ''com-
mon papers" at 90 cents to Six
