The skin is gray or grayish white. which does not recommend the birds for~tahle purposes fin this country where the de mand is for yellow-skinned fowls. The crest which all Polish carry is charac- teristic of the breed and adds much to Its beauty. The contrast between the white crest and the black body of the White-Crested Black makes this variety very beautiful, and rather diff. ficult to breed In perfection.
 The color scheme of the Bearded Golden Polish is very beautiful. the plumage being golden bay laced with black throughout except for the fluff which is light bay, with some black mixture or tinge. and for the primary feathers which are bay with black end.

AFTER THE FAKE PROMOTERS
American Legion on Watch to Detect and Expose Organizations Victim
 king Ex-Service Men.

The harpies who prey on public sympathy and the vampires who at tach themselves to every legitimate and worthy campaign for the relief of human distress, have been flying in fiocks behind the trudging army of job hunting eX-service men. The police courts are revealing the sordid opera tions of scores of avaricious persons who have been conducting moneyrais ing campaigns on a get-rich-quick ba- sis, on the pretenSe of assisting unem- ployed World war veterans Some of these fiy-by-night promoters have formed large organizations, using as dupes veterans who are, themselves, honest, but have been induced by ur- gent need to grasp at the straw of a job which the swinder dangles before them.
 Behind a shield of plausibility, the promoter sends his money solicitors out upon the public. Needless to say, little of the money raised actually is used to assist the unemployed ex service men. The promoter takes good care to see that his account books, If he keeps any never record the full amounts which have been extracted from the sympathetic public And If he makes a pretense of accounting for the way the money is expended this accounting Is only a clever cOnstruc- tion of falsities, intended to protect the promoter, If he Is made the sub ject of inquiry by public officials. The system by which he operates precludes honesty.
 These swindlers often copy the names and methods of organizations which are legitimate and have repu- table sponsors. The names the enl- ployment swindlers select for their or ganizations only too often inspire pub lie confidence because they may easily be confused with those of long-exiSting public charitable societies. The Amer ican Legion is constantly on the watch to detect, expose and prosecute organi- zations victimiZing ex-service men. The public should come to know that any organization ostensibly for the help of unemployed veterans should be regarded suspiciously if 1t does not have the Legions indorsement.-Amer ican Legion Weekly.

cordlng to the poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, into birds having high utility qualities. For example. the HamburgS are fowls which always have been rated as very prolific lay CTS, although their eggs are small. Be cause they have not been extensively kept in this country and because they have not been bred very systematically for any purpose except exhibition, their utility qualities have not been de veloped to the highest possible point. Tn the same way the Polish fowls ire Quently are prolific layers. but the crests they carry. while unique in ap- pearance and adding greatly to their beauty. are handicaps when the birds are kept for utility purposes.
 In the Polish breed are these varie- ties: White-Crested Black, Bearded Golden, Bearded Silver. Bearded White, Buff Laced, Non-Bearded Col den. Non-Bearded Silver. and Non Bearded White The Hamburg breed has these varieties: Golden Spangled. Silver Spangled. Golden Pencled, Sil- yer Pencilcd, White and Black.
 Farmers Bulletin 1921, recently is- sued by the Department of Agricul- ture. credits the game breed with eight varieties: Black Breasted Red. Brown Red. Golden Duckwing. Silver Duckwing, Birchen, Red Pyle, White. and Black.
 The Oriental class includes two breeds. the Sumatra of which there Is one variety. the Black. and the Malay with one. the Black Breasted Red. The Standard of Perfection gives this class also the Black Breasted Red Malay Bantam.

 Eggs and meat for home uses or for marketing are not the only possibilities of the poultry industry. In addition to the fowls kept primarily for their economic value or utility there are many throughout the country whose owners breed them merely for pleasure and secondly for the profits more than likely to result in supplying others whose fancy takes the same channel.
 Ornamental breeds and varieties may and often do possess considerable economic value. and some of them un- doubtedly could be developed, ac-

were coming and decided to defeat one
before the other could join it-a fR-
vorite trick Of Napoleon.
The Shawnees attacked Lewis army
early one morning. Lewis had taken
out his pipe when the first shot was
fred. He coolly finished lighting his
pipe and then gave the orders to his
men, who rushed to meet the Indians.
Both sides fought "Indian-fashion,"
lodging from tree to tree and taking
advantage of every bit Of cover. The
fighting was at a close range and in
the smoke-filled forest frontiersman
and Indian came hand to hand-toma-
hawk against hunting knife.
Late in the afternoon the Indians
gave way, but there was no rout.
Cornstalk was too good general for
that and the Americans paid dearly
for every foot Of ground they won.

old man. The fate of his opponent,
Cornstalk, had also been sad one.

WHEN ANDY LEWIS FOUGHT
CHIEF CORNSTALK

The battle of Point Pleasant on
September 10, 1774, was the first "all-
American" battle ever fought on this
continent. Europeans had taken part
in all important engagements before
French and Indians against British
and Americans. But when Andy Lewis
and his borderers batled with Chief
Cornstalk and his Shawnees, it was
strictly a native affair.
Lewis was born in Ireland, but he
had come to this country while still
a child, and he was no less an Amer
lean than the frontiersmen he led. He
fought with George Washington in the
French and Indian war and he became
one Of the greatest leaders of the CO.
lonial troops. He was six feet two
inches tall and powerful.
Lewis was chosen by Lord Dunmore
in 1774 to lead a picked body Of men
against the Shawnees while Dunmore
attacked them from another direction.
