Effective Trespass Siun.

There is one thing the weekend
cutters from a city are afraid of. That
is poison ivy and poison oak. They
may figure out way to circumvent
the bulldog which the sign tells one to
beware Of" and they do not always
heed threats of legal action mentioned
on signs. But they have wholesome
respect for poison vegetation. 1t
means pain and loss of time from work
or pleasures. When rancher Of
California came to the point of despair
in regard to keeping trespassers from
his thickets, and tired Of removing
litter and repairing fences and trees
he resorted to plan that proved to be
effective in almost hundred per cent
of cases. He placed at the several
points of entrance. to his property
signs that read: Danger! Poison Oak {!
Keep Out! J" This did the work better
than threats or watch dogs; for the va
cationers could not know just when
they might stumble on to the source of
Irritating trouble. -

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

The gratitude and loyalty Of mem
bers Of the American Legion to their
comrades of the Grand Army of the
Republic is illustrated by the Legion
post at Schuyler, Neb., which Is en-
deavoring to obtain aid for Civil war
veteran Of that city, who is suffering
from cancer.
1.-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 can, but since
they have to employ a nurse. 1 know
that they cannot continue to care for
him because Of lack Of funds.
"Now, we would like to have you
take 1t up and see If something can't
be done for the old veteran. This Is
worthy case and believe anything
the Legion can do for the old boys
who wore the blue will be appreciated
There, are but few Of them left, and
I think the Legion would do well to
look after them, since no one else will
do So

HAPPINESS FOUND IN WORK
Testimony Of chauncey Depew Is In.
dorsed by Another Prominent
American Veteran.

What Is the secret of usefulness
above sixty? Let me quote my friend
Chauncey Depew, who says: II look
back over sixty years Of continuous ef-
fort and when try to differentiate the
causes Of my health and happiness
always come back to work. never
yet knew an idle man who was q
happy man." 1t is his reply to those
who think the millennium will come
when nobody will have to work more
than two hours in twenty-four. On his
seventy-ninth birthday he said: with
each recurrence Of these anniversaries
l am more impressed with the perma-
hence Of friendship" That is the i'm
preston Of all who have moved into
the later years. We may not see our
friends daily but the knowledge that
they are in the flesh and in the spirit
is wonderful help and satisfaction.
In the currency Of friendship giving is
getting. Here Is young man Of
eighty-six who voted for John c. Ere
mont, who dined with Gladstone, who
took part in every Republican presi-
Dental convention and campaign since
the party began, who believes every
year that comes is the best. who has
worked all his life, and who has found
his happiness in work. The mans
creed Is this: "The Christian, faith of
my mother is good enough for me-"
What could he better?"-Gen, Felix

.l9l8CHAMPS WIN
FROM 1921 CHAMPS

In a clean fast game the 1918
Champs won from the 1921 Champs
last night at the. High School GYM
nasiunl. The former High School
stars. showed their old time form and
| took the long end Of the score 45-lS.
The game was fast and clean and both
sides put up a fight that done honor
to them and gave the fans an oppor-
tunity to see some of the best players
in the state in action. Busdicker and
Stenshoel, members Of the N. D. u.
five put up beautiful brand of ball
as did Anderson, Bowen and Cook.
!, For the High School Capt. Larson
Ford and Holm played the stellar
game and succeeded in getting thru
the visitors defense time and again
but hard luck at the goal which was
largely sponsible@for the large score
For the first five minutes the, game
was even and looked like close game
was in store but the Alumni soon
got together and used their height
to great advantage. The local five
were at a great disadvantage in
weight and experience but played
'plucky game and never gave up till the
final whistle. The High School team
leaves for Fargo Thursday where they
will meet the Madison High School
team, that won the championship Of
South Dakota in a series Of three
games at the Agricultural College
and some first class games are as
sured. Hodge of Fargo will oficiate.

TRAVEL PICTURES FOR POSTS
Film. Embracing One THOUSAND Top
ice, for Use Of All Legion
Organizations.

BY arrangement between the Amer
lean Legion and the bureau. Of COM
mercial economies, the most complete
and valuable collection OF educational
snd travel motion picture films in ex-
istence will be placed at the disposal
Of the Legion for free exhibition un-
der the auspices Of all posts. The
films, which embrace 1000 separate
topics, are the property Of the bureau,
al altruiStic institution the sole aim
Of which is to advance education and
pride in American institutions.
+ At the instance Of national head
quarters, the bureau has prepared a
special catalogue in which each film
Is numbered and described. A copy
of this catalogue will become the prop
erty Of each Legion post. The only
expense attached to posts ordering the
Aims will be the payment of express
charges to and from the nearest dis
tributing center of the bureau. No adj
mission fee may be charged by the
post.
A distributing center for the films
will be established in almost every
state. Responsibility for the trans
mission of the catalogues and the in
formation concerning the location Of
distributing centers to which each
post must apply for films, rests with
the state departments.
The story of the establishment of
the bureau of commercial economics
Is that of fulfillment Of VOW which
\ blind man took years ago, should his
sight be restored. DR.. Francis Hol-
ley, the founder and director of the
bureau, vowed to work for the bet
torment of mankind when he recov
cred his sight, and the brueau is the
result.

+. The trouble started when the pastor
Of the church invited two Legion mem
bers to deliver patriotic addresses In
the church. When the speakers ap'
peared, farms objected to their pres

should be ousted. 1t was the will Of
the majority that the Leglonnaires
should not be heard. After the vote,
the Legion members quietly left the
church. E.~
The pastor, whose Invitation to the
Legion men was made in an endeavor
to conciliate the pro-German and
American elements IF his church in
their controversy over the use Of the
American or German language, then
took the floor and expressed his sur

The most promising clew in the pos

a honey cave exists, and is high up on

however, will not venture an opinion

away in the cavern recesses or as to
the age Of the cave But they say
positively no one has ever been able

The leader, armed with a blast Of ex-

Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to plant
an English colony In America,
and the expeditions which he
sent established Q little colony
on Roanoke island. There In
1857 was born the first Ameri-
can child Of English parents.
She was named Virginia Dare,
!. after the virgin queen. This col
ony, due to- England.s war with
Spain. could not be properly sup
ported, and after few years
persisted. It was not until over
a century later that permanent
settlements were made. Daring
pioneers from Virginia pressed
south into the new territory, and
these, augmented by large
company Of Huguenots from
France and a greater number Of
Germans from the Palatinate,
founded the first North Carolina
town Of Newburn in 1910. BY
the time of the Revolution the
population in North Carolina
had increased to such an extent,
with an influx of Scotch Irish
and Scotch Highlanders who
settled chiefly in the western
counties, that it ranked fourth
among the original thirteen col
onies. Today its population en-
