WOULD AID G. A. R. VETERAN
Schuyler (Neb.) Post Endeavoring to
Assist Grand Army Man Who
Has Been Stricken.

The gratitude and loyalty Of men,
bers Of the American Legion to their
comrades Of tive Grand Array of the
Republic Is illustrated by the Legion
post ut Schuyler, Neb., which Is en-
deavOring to obtain hid for Civil war
veteran Of that city, who is suffering
from cancer.
"The post Is In need Of advice as
to how we can assist this hero Of an
other war;" the post commander
writes. "He is stopping with relatives
who are doing all they oan, but since
they have to employ nurse, know
that they cannot continue to care for
him because of lack OF funds.
snow, We would like to have you
take 1t up and see II something can't
be done for the old veteran. This is
worthy case and believe anything
tho Legion can do for the old boys
who wore the blue will be appreciated.
There are but few Of them left, and
I thin; the Legion would do we'll to
look after them, since no one else will
do so."

LEGION MEN WANT P. M. FIRED
Lincoln (Neb.) Post Takes Exceptions

A resolution requesting the govern

result of the postmasters efforts to
supplant the American language by
the German language i'm "a church Of
Emerald.
The trouble started when the pastor
OF the church invited two Legion mem
bers to deliver patriotic addresses I'm
the church. When the speakers APP
peared, farms objected to their pres>
ence and called for a vote of the con-
gregatlon to decide whether they
should be ousted. 1t was the will of
the majority that the Legionnaires
should not be heard. After the vote,
the Legion members quietly left the
church.
The pastor. whose invitation to the
Legion men was made In an endeavor
to conciliate the pro- German and
American elements Of his church In
their controversy over the use of the
American or German language. then
took the floor and expressed his sur
prise at the turn Of events and left

In commentator Of the patience of
the American Legion members Lin
coin newspaper expresses the follow.
Ing sentiment In Its editorial col
ulnns:
THE policy Of the Legion to send
speakers to address meetings on in
vitation only and to teach American
ism by example rather than by force,
has everything to commend It. The
small groups Of unassimilated fors
eigners In this country can readily be
curdled into compact masses by hate.
On the other hand, they can be dis
solved In time by patience and friend.

EVERY FARMER TO THE FRONT

We have time and again, along
with all other thinking men Of
the county who are interested in
the success aud happiness of our
people, urged every farmer to
join the Tobacco Growers Asso-
citation. Notwithstanding the
labor. time and efforts of our
best citizens and farmers to make
the organization 100 per cent.
strong in this county, there are
still a number of farmers who
remain on the outside and refuse
to join in helping their fellow
man, seeking at the same time TO
reap the fruit of their neighbours
labor.
There can be no denial of the
fact that the price of tobacco is
being kept up to its present
height by the Tobacco Growers
Association. If the Association
were TO disband today, tobacco
would undoubtedly drop at least
so per cent. in price, and the far
mer receive little, or nothing for
same. If other commodities are
dropping to such a low figure,
that there is no longer profit in
them, why wouldn't the price of
tobacco drop, if we had no assa-
citation to hold it up ? 1t is
unfortunate a lasting lesson can
not be taught the farmers who
persist in staying outside and,
by so doing, lending their aid to
the very people who are using all
their efforts to break up the As
sociation and gouge them.
1t sometimes makes ones
blood boil to think that there are
men existing who, rather than
help their neighbor and fellow
farmer, viii lend themselves as
tools to those who would take
them back to the days of living
from hand to mouth.
The commission man who is so
INSCRIPTIONS as to suggest and
advise a member of the Associa-
ton to evade and violate ms con.
tract, by shipping his tobacco in
the name of another member OF
his family, is not too good to dc
anything, and the farmer who
takes such advice is no better.
Once more, we urge the far
mers of this county to join the
Association, stick together in
manhood and honor and, by co
operation and unity, force a con
dition whereby stable and good
market can always be had for our
chief crop tobacco, that we may
not only make expenses, but {
fair and honest profit.
