Legion Drive Progresses

Results from the American Le- zion membership drive are gratifying thus far, but of course we have not attained anything like our objective stated Arthur Greenwood of Birming- ham post No. l, American Legion.
 "Procrastination is the greatest enemy of the forces in the field. Many men are saying they will join later, although the fee will be higher at that time. These men are urged to join now and effect the saving of- fered.
 we believe the drive will be ex- ,raneiv successful if the tendency of aelayinc things is offset"

Character Analysis


 Speaking of Jan Smuts-'smuts of South Africa" said Mrs. J. Fred Robertson, it might prove big idea for the blue-eyed blond boys when school sets in to ink their horny fists, writing a composition about this most brilliant statesman and commanding personality.
 "WhatNJan Shuts is to the world today, his blue-eyed blindness made him, not altogether of course, but he got his start thereby. Positive, re- sourceful creative, eager, active, he touches life at every point and is happiest when he has many irons in the fire.
 "Ninety per cent of the soldiers who volunteered were blonds. pretty near ly all aviators are blue-eyed), Jan Shuts is wonderful, and character analyst can explain 1t all.
 At school he studied hard,- note high, sloping orehead-practical- face, shaped triangular. denotes mem tality. He acknowledges to one dis sipation, i. e., farming. See his broad shoulders, motive, muscular. Jan Shuts. his own nerve covered by firm flesh, stands today the great pacifi- cator. He reasons logically, because physically, comfortable, he enjoys a good laugh.

Lay all Cards on Table at

DASdkAldAiCkAt SOuICTClCC F7T7HE proposed disarmament con- U ference in Washington may include many subjects not at first contemplated in President Harding's invitation to the leading world powers, but if it does so much the better.
 The argument that only by limiting the discussion to disarma- ment can any progress be made is fallacious because there can never be any real disarmament until the international problems which lead to war are solved. They are all to a greater or less degree involved. and as long as there are differences which nations believe to be mimi cable to their future welfare and safety they are not going to make any considerable reduction in their armaments, unless there is some chance to maintain peace and pro- tect them against aggressions, as was provided for in the covenant of the League of Nations.
 Europe is in turmoil and promises to remain so for sometime yet. If Germany did not cherish an undying hatred of France and were not under the suspicion of planning for revenge; if France were not afraid of Germany's being able to carry out her schemes for evening scores; if the little states were quiet and minding their own business and if the far east were not a potential battle-ground, with China and Japan having most at stake, there would still be the menace of bolshevism. No one knows what the Russian giant can do or what it might do.
 These are some of the reasons why the nations of the earth, in cluding America, cling to theil armies and navies. France vii never be willing to reduce her arna. to . nominal size so long as th' German menace remains. Grea Britain needs large navy for he far-flung empire, at least unti world conditions are stabilized Japan feels that her dominance o the east is threatened and an at tempt may be made to deprive he Of the advantages she won durinl

HECKLING FEDERAL RESERVE

90 days, which are of necessity az. ricultural credits, have increased by 300 per cent during the last ii months, while the total obi gations have been shrinking" The farmers are obsessed with the idea that the purpose of bank credits Is to sus- tain prices, rather than to move crops into consumption or export.
 There are billions of credit avail able for the movement of crops and the stimulation of productive activi- ties. If 1t were all given to the farra- CTS, they would want more as prices rose with the inflationary accommo- dations. The result would be that the federal reserve portfolios. now clean would be filled with frozen credits. When the inevitable fall came there would be no help for any body. The farmers losses would be larger than now, their lands would be unstable, and there would be a panic which would be as cyclone compared with the present zephyr. By all means heckle the federal rs- serve board, and pay attention to what 1t says or what Is said for it.
