the initiative in reaching such ar
agreement might come from the
British side.

Ringer Ships Pecans
To Dings at Chicago

G. T.. Ringer who became interested
in pecans about nine years ago has
80 trees growing on his home place In
the southeast portion OF the city. He
has shipped the past week 100 pounds
OF pecans TO Il. G. Dings in Chicago for
which Mr Dings paid him 500. This
shows what can be done by budding
native pecan trees and growing q high
grade OF pecan. Mr.. Ringer states
that on account Of the late freeze
last spring that he made only one.fifth
OF crop this year.
Mr.. Ringer states that Les Wnker.
son has pecan tree on his farm near
Ardmore that he believes is worth
$1,000. The tree bears late and has a
crop this year of possibly 500 pounds.
The pecans are larger and are much
better than many Of the so called high
grade pecahs. He compared the nuts
grown on the Wilkerson tree with
others shipped here from Texas and
says the native Oklahoma pecan IL
much better In many ways. The per
ceniage OF kernel is greater and the
flavor Is finer.

Wants Modification
Of Political Clause
In Legion Constitution

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Oct. 3l.-Modl-
fication of the political clause in the
American Legion's constitution was
urged at the Legion's convention here
today by Oscar Il. Carlstrom of Aledo.
H.. commander.in.chief of the United
Spanish War Veterans, himself mem.
ber Of the American Legion. Capt.
Carlstrom brought greetings from his
organization.
THE patriotism which gave service
In war can be translated into a pa.
triotism OF service in time Of peace and
under our form of government can
only be expressed by participation in
the shaping of public policies and the
choosing OF men charged with the
duty of carrying out those policies. :"
Captain CarlstrOm said
This means participation In politics.
not necessarily partisan and indeed
under no circumstances commercializcd
politics.
What America and her states need
today as much as any one thing is
non-commercialized politics - politics
based upon integrity and sincerity OF
service to the state. What body Of
men and women can be looked TO with
greater confidence to lead and streng.
then such movement than the serv.
ice men and women?
Had the American Legion and kind.
red service organizations determined
and aggressive policy looking to the
support in united way Of those men
who would support and give decent
consideration to their interests. there
might not now be the lack of adjust
ment economically that exists between
the condition Of the service men and
those who fattensd by unconscionabe
profits and contract settlements during
and after the war Sooner or later il
must and will come. Let us act now"
The Legion's constitution prohibits
any one who holds or is seeking a sal.
aried elective public office to hold Of
flee in the Legion or any department
or post thereof.
As representing the United Spanish
War Veterans. Commander.in.C Chief
Carlstrom urged complete cooperation
between all veteran organizations.
The Spanish War Veterans tender
this cooperation and ask the Amcri
can Legion for it," he said MANY
men hold membership In both organi
za,ions."
