making a total Of $500 pounds of but

Wisconsin Cow
Ruben Lundquist, of Siren, Wis. had
a pure-bred Jersey cow there that
produced 103 pounds of butter in an
official test during the month Of Aug
ust this year.
Highest Yearling
Jerseys lead again with 1,O3G pounds
of butter as the highest test for any
cow starting as Il yearing. Another
Jersey, over y years, produced 1880
pounds of butter and was the worlds
champion butter cow for five years.
Two girls served Jersey milk to all
who would drink it.
Calf Clubs
The work of the boys and girls calf
clubs was well shown in their exhib-
its. There were many entries of good
calves from points near the twin
cities.
Scrub Bulls
The Minnesota HOlstein Breeders
Association were exhibiting scrub bulls
that they had replaced with pure-bred
bulls. This association buys the farm
erS scrub bulls at market value and
takes that as the first payment on a
purc-bred HOlstein bull. They charge
$50 for their bull and give two years
time to pay the balance.
In big contrast to these scrub bulls
were the pure-bred bulls of the other
| breeds. The aged class of HOlstein
bulls were weighty lot. averaging
around $500 pounds each. One herds
man stated that his bull weighed over
1900 pounds. Mountains of milk and
| mountains of meat are characteristics
of the Holstein breed.
This feature of the show should do

erS how they can market their bulls

herds of their community by using good
pure-bred bulls.

pure-bred bulls and scrubs. Their ex-

NAVY HEAD SENDS GREETINGS
JosePhus Daniels, Retiring Secretary,
Expresses Appreciation for Part
in World War;

A message of greeting and apprecia-
tion TO the members of the American
Legion was written by Josephus Dan
fels, former secretary of the navy, just
previous to his retirement from Office.
The message follows:

ing head OF the navy, which place I
was privileged to hold during the
World war, / wish to send word of
greeting and appreciation to all who
belong to the American Legion and ell
who served their country in the army

days. They truly saved the civiliza-
don of the world by their spirit and
their valor. In the days that are to
come the world depends upon them
FOR saving 1t from the perils Of peace.

not be wanting In the new call upon
them for the same courage and wis

his own strange feeling of numbness,
of endless soaring through infinite
spaces. But he was q mountain man,
and that meant he was scho0led, be-
yond all things, to keep his self-con-
troll. He made himself remember. Yes
he had been cutting wood on the
hillside, and the shadows had been
long. He had been wondering wheth-
er or not they should go down to the
valleys.
He remembered now: the last blow
and the rolling log. He tried 20 turn
his head to look up TO the hill.
He found himself wholly unable TO
do 1T. Something wracked him in his
neck when he tried to move. But he
did glance down. And yes, he could
turn in this direction. And he saw
the great tree trunk lying twenty feet
below him. wedged in between the
young pines.
He was surrounded by broken frag-
ments of limbs. and it was evident
that the tree had not struck him a
full blow. The limbs had protected
him to some extent. No man lis of
such mold as TO be crushed under the
solid weight of the trunk and live to
remember it. He wondered if this
were the frontier of death-the gray
ness that fingered over him. He
seemed to be soaring.
He brought himself back TO earth
and tried again to remember. OF
course. the twilight had fallen. II had
been late afternoon when he had cut
the tree. His hand stole along his
body; and then. for the first time, a
hideous sickness came upon him. His
baud was warm and wet when he
brought il up. The other hand he
couldn't stretch at all.
The forest was silent around him.

TO HOLD PROG GERMAN MEETS
Sessions Alleged for Purpose of Pro-
testing Against Negro Troops in
French Army of Occupation.

ProGerman meetings planned for
the near future in a number of cit
les In the East and Middle West will
be closely watched by the American
Legion, according to national head
quarters of the ex-service mems or
ganization. The series of meetings,
it is understood, will be held for the
purpose of protesting against the re-
ported presence of negro colonial
troops in the French army of occu-
patton, despite the fact that the troops
in question were withdrawn many
months ago.
Cities in which the meetings are
scheduled are Milwaukee, Omaha,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Louisville,
Chicago, Cleveland and New York. Tt
is understood that DR.. Edmund Won

A bulletin from Legion national
headquarters, warning state head
quarters to watch for an attempt to
revive German propaganda and to Gre
ate sentiment ~ America hostile to
the allies, has been sent out, and
steps have been taken by national Off
Gals to influence the Department of
Justice to prohibit the meetings.
"A recurrence of German propa-
ganda activity in this country is some
thing the Legion has been watching
for for some tme," said Lemuel

gion. 81 feel that the greatest check
to movement of this kind will come
from citizens of Teutonic extraction,
of whose loyalty and sincerity there
can be no doubt Loyal Americans

turn sentiment in favor of the nation
with which technically we are still at

LEGION MEN HIT BY RULING
National Judge Advocate Decides Or
aanization Officer Ineligible ii
Holding Public Office.

A decision Of far-reaching iIapor-
lance as affecting the participation in
politics of men holding office in the
American Legion has just been hand
ed down by Robert A. Adams, ma
tional judge advocate of the Legion, In
response to an inquiry from the Inter-
Post Council of Los Angeles, Cal.
At its annual election held in De
cember a Los Angeles post elected
Claiming Toilette as commander for
1921. A short time afterwards Fol
lette was appointed justice of the
peace by the board of supervisors OF
Los Angeles county.
The question arose whether, in view
of the fact that Toilette had been APP
pointed to an Office which, in its ma
ture, except in the matter of filling
vacancies, is an elective, salaried pub
lie office, he was eligible to serve as
an officer of the Legion.
In his official ruling, the national
judge advocate says:
This beingsa salaried, elective pub
lie office, it is my opinion that the
method of filling vacancy is not es-
sential in determining the eligibility
of a Legionaire holding such office.
The office is elective, although the case
with which we deal is that of an APP
pOintment.
''The purpose of the constitutional
provision is, of course, to prevent, so
far as possible, the use by member
Of the Legion of his Legion member
ship in furthering political career.
Consequently, the effect of an APP
pointment Is in no wise dissimilar
from an election, and it is my opinion
that the incumbent Is, by the accept
ance of his Office, rendered ineligible
for the office of the American Legion"
1t is believed that many Legion
members, appointed to political offices
will be affected by this ruling.

Lennox had known so long. He
chopped at great log and wondered
what would suit him better-the COM
fort and safety of the valleys or the
rugged glory Of the ridges.
But at that instant, the question of
whether or not he would winter on the

instant was all that was needed. For
the period of enc breath he forgot to
be watchful-and a certain dread

too long in the mountains and grown

He hadn't considered that the tree
lay on a steep slope. AS the blade
fell. the great trunk simply seemed to
leap. Lennox leaped too, in frenzied
effort to save his life; but already the
leafy bows, like the tendrils of some
great amphibian, had whipped around
his legs. He fell, struggling; and
then a curious darkness, streaked
with flame, dropped down upon him.
An hour later he found himself lying
on the still hillside, knowing only
great wonderment At first his only
impulse was to go back to sleep. He
