EVERY MEMBER GET ANOTHER
Indications Are That Big Campaign
VIII Double Membership Of
American Legion.

The 'every-member-g get member
campaign Of the American Legion has
begun. and reports received at the ma
tional headquarters at Indianapolis in
dicate that the purpose Of the cam
paign, to double the membership, will
soon be accomplished.
To double the membership of the
Legion was the ardent wish Of f. W.
Galbraith Jr., late national comman-
der, who was killed In an automobile
accident at Indianapolis. His success.
sor. John G. Emery of Grand Rapids,
Mich, was probably the first member
of the Legion to get member when
the present campaign opened.
Mr.. Gabraith planned the campaign
short time before his death. He
was anxious to have the membership
doubled by October 1t now appears
that the campaign will end before that
time.
In his statement setting out plans
for the campaign, Mr., Galbralth said !:
"The Legion has earned the right to
do something In national way pri-
marily In the interests of Its organi.
zation, and the time has come TO exer-
else that right. propose that the
American Legion shall exactly double
its membership. A tremendous under
taking you say. Yes. tremendously
simple. Just an intensive effort when
every Legion member in the world
shall go out, lay a firm but friendly
hand upon a buddy. and sign him up.
Every member get member--and the
Job is DONE"

and pens, and these buildings to the
killing house. The pens In the houses,
the outside yards, and the arrange
ment of the buildings should be
planned so that the ducks may be eas.
lily driven from house to house as de-
sired The feed room or house should
be centrally located.
Convenient watering arrangements
are essential where large numbers Of
ducks are kept, as they require large
amount of drinking water, say poultry
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. While ducks
may be kept successfully under very
Intensive conditions, it is advisable to
allow considerable yard space. Double
yards, which may be rotated and
planted to quick-growing crops, such
as oats, wheat and rye, are good for
intensive duck farms.
1t is advisable to have a pond or
stream for the breeding ducks, as they
usually give better fertility under
these conditions, although on some
successful duck farms the ducks are
always kept on dry land. The young
green ducks on some farms which have
a pond are not allowed to 60 into the
water except to bathe and clean their
feathers just before marketing. Other
growers, however, allow the green
ducks free access to ponds or streams
unit. they are marketed.

The seven former members Of the
Chicago White Sox ball team and two
alleged accomplices who were charged
with consplring to throw games in the
worlds series Of 1919, have been ac-
quilted by Chicago jury, apparently
because the jurors did not think the
specific intent to defraud the public
and the baseball owners was estab-
lished by the prosecution. At once
the question arose whether or not the
players should be reinstated in or
ganized baseball. Judge Lands, high
commissioner Of baseball, replied
promptly and decisively that mo play
er who undertakes or promises to
throw ball game, no player who sits
in conference with bunch of crook
ed players ands gamblers where the
ways and means Of throwing games
are planned and does not promptly
tell his club about 1t will ever play
professional baseball"
AS to the moral guilt of the accused
ball players. the American public has
had little or no doubt, and Its belief
will not be altered by the verdict Of
the jury which probably was made
necessary by the technicalities Of the
law.

war for cargoes that may have far

the efforts Of some American ship op-

carrying business from Egypt. They
were told the British ship owners
would fight to the finish to hold on
to all Of that business, whereupOn the
London representative Of the board
warned the British that retaliatory
measures would be adopted. Both
sides have cut rates, and the Ameri-

question involved, says statement

whether British ship owners are 60.

Americans who have long been held
prisoners by the Russian Bolsheviki
have been released, unless latest re.
ports are misleading, and America, un-
officially but energetically, has gone
to the relief Of the starving, pesti-
lence stricken Russians. Agents Of
Mr.. HO0ver's organization already are
distributing food and medicines, and
the American Red Cross and other
agencies are cooperating In the tre-
mendous task. Walter L. Brown is
directing the relief measures from
Riga, and there Is no lack Of volun-
teers for the work In Russia, for
scores Of persons Of many nationali-
ties have offered their services, some
being actuated by curiosity, some by
altrulsm and some by the desire to
get into Russia to find out what has
become of relatives and friends.
Premier BRAND Of France has sug-
gested that the supreme council, in
session this week In Paris, consider
allied cooperation with America In
the Russian relief work.
Famine conditions, 1t appears, ex.
list mainly in the great yolga valley,
and the inhabitants are moving from

thorities are trying to direct the flight
OF the refugees toward Siberia and
the Ukraine and to keep them away
from the cities. 1t is the swift spread
OF cholera that is alarming the ma
ti0ns bordering Russia on the west.
Some OF these, notably Poland, have
mobilized large numbers Of troops
along their frontiers to turn back the
hordes that are carrying the pest
along with them. Despite these pre-
cautions, Berlin papers say cholera al.
ready has appeared In Warsaw and
that there Is danger of an epidemic
Of the disease in Danzig and other sea
ports. The soviet commissioner of
health says the task of fighting the
pestilence Is made terribly difficult by
the horrible sanitary condition
throughout virtually the entire coun.
try, and by the mass migration, as
i had been malclously planned, dis
tributing the infection from one place
TO another for thousands and tens Of
