TO LATE COMMANDERS

Achievement Has Been
Won for Disabled
(Bv United PreSS)


Kansas City, Oct. 31.-The Amerl-
can Legion in convention here today
renewed it's battle for assistance in
the financing of disabled veterans.
John G. Emery, national command
er of the Legion, at the opening SEES
sion of the conference declared the
eff orts made by the organization IN
behalf of disabled soldiers during the
past are to be continued. Industrial
conditions have hit ex-service men
harder than any other class, Emery
said. He scored the senate for its
action in turning down the adjusted
compensation bill.
"President Harding was misled by
the anti-compensationists,' Emery
declared. "The senate in acting un-
favorably or the bill bowed to the
will of the chief executives and not
to fact and reason" In sounding the
Legion's attitude in declaring the
fight for the bill Emery called on
legionaires to act as fearlessly to-
ward congress 'as their brothers act
ed when they died in France"
Emery paid high tribute to the late
Commander Galbraith. He again call
ed upon the Legion to keep independ-
ent of politics, but declared that in
matters effecting the Legion, the Lee

midi.

YEAR AROUND CLEARING
CAMPAIGN is PLANNED
Some Form, of Land Clearing
Operations May Be Used
...y All Year Around

H. A program that will permit Of some
form OF land clearing operations in
cutover counties, practically the year
around is being worked out by the
land clearing department of the I'm
versity of Minnesota cooperating
with county farm bureau organiza-
tons. As an important part Of this
program, an intensive brushing cam
paign will be put on at once in six
of the cut-over counties in the north
eastern part of the state. This CAM
paing was unanimously agreed upon
at meeting held at the international
Potato Show at Duluth on October
1T by county agents of the counties
concerned and representatives OF the
railroads and the university.
The campaign will be started Nov
ember in Cook county, and end
about May 1, 1922. Brushing work
should be properly done a. this sea-
son Of the year, say the land clearing
specialists, of the university. During
the late fall and early spring season
and also during the winter, when the
snow is not too deep, the work of
brushing and picking up can be done.
Land which has been brushed during
this season of the year, say the uni
versity men, should be seeded with
grass seed in the early spring. Brush
ing alone will do no good if the land
is left for several years toy go back.
It is necessary to SOW grass seed in
the early spring to get sod started
In other words, the brush would be
replaced with timothy and clover.
Meetings will be held in Beltrami
county from November 81 to &c, the
dates and places to be announce
later. 80

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 31.-Pledges
anew to the campaign projects of
economy and efficiency were made by
the incoming governor and attorney
general, secured in North Dakota's
recall election. Friday.
Still refusing to concede defeat I'M
til. returns are in from the "tall tim
bers" in the southwest, from which
they trickled in slowly, slashing in on
Nestos' lead, as was expected, Nom
partisans refused a statement on the
future of the league. Operation on
grounds of fraud died out with the
announcement of the Courier News,
Nonpartisan paper, in which it was
stated, "The League accepts the
challenge of the election, and will
gain more credit with the people gen.
orally by accepting the verdict than
by prolonging and embittering the
present fight" 1t is believed that
this is the sentiment of the league
leaders.
Salvaging reductions possible of
the state other than farm loans from
$12,O00,OO0 to $7,750,O00 and to au-
thorize issuing Of bonds secured by
first mortgages to so per cent Of the
value of the land mortgage.
Restoration by sale of bond funds
belonging to political subtractions
"now lost or tied up"
Completion and operation Of the
mill and elevator at Drake and Grand
Forks and closing up of the affairs
of the Home Builders association.
Closing of the State bank and pro-
viding IA rural credit system pattern
ed after the South Dakota system.
This program depended upon mi
tiated measures, leads Of which are
too insufficient to make a forecast.
For governor, 1880 precincts gave
Nestos, Independent candidate, lead
Of 8,G37. The vote gave Nestos 1867
OIL, and Frazier, 98,234. Approx
mately 211 precincts are outstand-
ing.
In 1889 precincts, Nestos has 107,-
275 and Frazier 1884, a majority
for Nestos of 8,491.

Indications at Noon Were That
Majority Would Be 5000
or Even Less
NESTOS FOR GOVERNOR
LEADS AT NOON BY 1860
sG.
Interest Now Centers on Ten
Initiated Measures; Fate
Still Very Uncertain

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 31.-The .nde-
pendents' lead in the recall returns
at noon stood at 1867 in 1920 pres
cincts out Of 2,091. In total vote
of 2O7,511, Nestos had 107,604 and
Frazier 80, GOT. In 1ications were that
the Independents majority would be
cut to 5000 or less.
AS the margin narrowed on the
vote for governor, interest centered
more on the initiated measures which
are the platform on which the incom-
ing officers decide to stand.
II propose to be the governor Of
all the people without regard to party
affiliation,'' Governor-Elect R. A.
Nestos declared to the United Press
today. ct have no enemies to pun
ish and no scores to settle l face
the future unafraid and with the con-
fidence, counsel and cooperation of
all the splendid citizens of this state,
and with the help of God and His
blessings we will work out these
problems for the people,"
