THOUSANDS ENJOY
\LEGI0N'S BIG PICNIC
Occasion Proves A Success In
Every Way, Financially, So
cially and Otherwise

That insurance policy the Le-
gi6n boys took out for good
WeatherThursday their picnic day
certainly worked wonders.
The weather couldn't have been
improved upon; the crowd was
enormous, the ball game a dandy
and everybody had big time.
The members of Jesse Nj
Dykes Post of the American Le-
gion certainly did themselves
proud with their first annual pic
mic. They, in fact. covered them
selves with glory, and showed
that when it comes to putting on
thing right, you can't beat the
icgionaircS, no matter whesher it
is a scrap with the Hun or pic
mic on the river.
Until the boys. count the huge
pile of cash that accumulated dur
ing the day, it's hard to tell just
Jow much they did make. The
figures are going to run above
Jour, however, and everybody is
well pleased for the boys worked
faithfully and hard and tried to
make everybody have a big day.
Various estimates were made
as to the size Of the crowd. Many
believe there were fully 5000
there. Almost 5000 tickets were
sold for the ball game at 50 cents
apiece and Il host Of others. WE1
couldn't get near the auto-circled
diamond. didn't buy tickets for ii
but contented themselves with
paying 25 cents admission, and
enjoying the delight of the bath
ing beach. the dancing pavilion
and other features.
Sam Black, of Richmond. won
the Ford turning car awarded at
ter the ball game. His number
was l3O..
. The concessions were all opcrat
ed by members OF the Legion
themselves. thus adding further
to their exchequcr. There was
plenty to eat and drink. the chow
was enjoyed and the soft drinks
were always in demand.
The best of order was main
tanned. Only one man i'll all the
thousands was seen under the
slightest influence of liquor and he
was visitor from some neighbor
ing town. unknown here. who
made himself conspicuous once in
while at the ball game.
The Legion boys in uniform
saw to it that things were kept
moving, and things did. without {.
hitch. 1t was a big day and the
thousands that came from Madi
son, Clark, Estill, Fayette, and
scores Of more distant counties,
left in the evening, pleased and
delighted.
1t is understood that the loca
Legion post plans to build or buy
Il club house, and that the pro
cceds OF the big picnic will form
the nucleus of fund to go to that
purpose eventually.

crley d. White, OF Versailles, at

last April, late Thorsday were
! halted until 9 O'Clock Friday
morning The delay was caused
by exhaustion Of the venire sum
moned by Special Bailiff k. J.
Mckinney, of Brodhead, who
was named to handle the Bailey
case when Sheriff Tip Langford
was disqualified.
Names OF probably fifty men
were drawn from the jury wheel
and Mckinney and Special Depu-
ties William Bullock. Sam Field
and b. II. Parsons started out to
serve notice on the prospective
jurors.
After delays that have held up
the case since last Monday. when

proceeded with rapidity. Court
adjourned soon after opening and
received the report Of the jury
/, commission, which WIS instruct
ed to clear the jury wheel and
place in it the names OF 800 per-
sons. During the period it was
in session the prosecution pre-
sented an affidavit by John c.
White, brother of the dead man
that he had reason to believe that
Sheriff Langtord was prejudiced
in favor OF Bailey. This affidavit
resulted in Langford being dis
qualified from acting in the Bail
ey case.
In the afternoon the court over
, ruled a motion Of the defense
seeking to have the panel drawn
declared illegal, the motion being
based on contentious that Judge
B. J. Bethurum had exceeded his
authority in ordering the jury
wheel cleared and refiiied. With
! this out of the way selection OF
| the jury was taken up and within
an hour and a half the prosecu-
! ton had secured twelve men sat
tisfactory to it. The defense. how
ever, struck six of the twelve
from the list and selection o.
| three others had been made by
the prosecution when the venirt
was exhausted and cour;: adjourn
ed for the day.

Business and The Press.

Very few of the people who are not
within the circle of large business,
realize the extent to which the press is
used to influence business as we'll as
political affairs.
When the insiders lay out certain
course of action for their own profits,
papers from Maine to California bring
out news stories and editorials cal
culated TO make the public believe
what the insiders wish to have be-
lieved. Stock market experts such as
John Moody or Roger Babson caution
their clients to pay no attention to
what appears in the public press.
But farmer, small merchant, work
man do not have the business advice
of a Moody or a Babson; they have
for the most palt only the kept press.
Last winter and early spring, for in
stance, we had great wave of pro-
paganda for more production and Of
optimism as to higher prices. This
was to induce local merchants to load
their sehlves at high prices then pre-
vailing, to induce the farmer to extend
himself, and the workingman to put
on final squirt before the shut down.
Big business at that time was planning
small production and was making
haste to get rid of surplus goods. The
kept press put the campaign over for
big business in splendid shape.
Since future trading started up
again last July, we have had nothing
but a deluge Of bear news for farm
products. Every corner of the world
has been searced for items that would
produce the desired beliefs in the
public mind. When the accepted
time comes, the news will be all the
other way. Merchants will have to
buy again soon, big business wants to
start work again, and the, farmers must
be persuaded to do certain things with
regard to next years production.

Same tune as "Beulah Land.'D

Of deeper green and purer white.
All nature gives you welcome thre.

CHORUS:
My Minnesota, here's to you!
My love and faith stand firm and

Where'er l look, Where'er go,
Beside you not one had show.
You are, indeed, the promised land,
My Minnesota, you are grand.
Here woods. abound and here the sea
Is born in springs that we'll from thee.
Your lakes and streams they are so
That fairies make their toilet here.
I've travelled far and heard the praise
That others sing and claim as theirs.
For what they lack, mine has to spare.
They praise my own state unawares.
When once they look upon my home,
How pitiful must seem their own.
Nowhere is found such hearty cheer.
Nowhere is health and fortune freer.

You'll cling forever to her arm.
