EURoPE's POTATO CROP.

In Europe potatoes are grown OF
different kinds for different purposes.
Certain varieties are raised for cook
ing and others for starch making and
d,stilling. Over there they have a So
called "stock potato" which is not
used for human food at all. 1t is very
large and coarse of texture and is
utilized for feeding cattle. The yield
TO the acre is twice the ordinary, and
the tubers being exceedingly rich in
starch are great alcohol producers.

SOME FACTS REGARDING
THE AMERICAN LEGION

The local post Of the American Lee
cion has received the following com
muncation from headquarters at
Washington, and it will be nterestirg
and informative TO all our readers.
There ha, been persistent effort By
the I. W. VS. and other radical Gle
mcnts, through their paid ag,jators
and through the columns Of their paid
press representatives, to create
throughout the ranks Of labor a false
impression concerning the attitude OF
the American Legion toward the labol
union and laboring men. The reasons
for this attitude by the radical Gle
nlont are easily understood The Am
erican Legion stands first and fore
most for the defense of our corstitl-
tional government and for the main
tenance Of law adj order. The |. W. W
and kindred organizations stand fo1
the destruction Of constitutional GOV
eminent and for the destruction e.

portion Of the membership of the AM
crican Legion is composed of lahorlne
men. the great majority of whom are
members Of labor unions. As an or
ganization, the American Legion ha=
no quarrel with the labor unions. and
is i'm fact, anxious and willing to do
everything in its power to better the
conditions of the labOrer and to helm
him in all legitimate ways toward ac-
complishng this end. The American
Legion does not believe that the ac-
tivities Of the 7. w. w. are IN the in
tCrcst Of the laboring men. but in
stead. that they foster spirit of dis
content and are constantly creating 4
spirit Of defiance toward all consttu-
tional authority, and have for its pur-
poses the overthrow Of our govern
