The American Legion Post at Redwood Falls
was denounced by Townleyite organ because the
Post had passed resolutions against Albert Pfaen-
der of New Ulm as a candidate for judge. The
editor of the Lamberton Star upheld the action
of the American Legion and referred to Pfaen-
der's war record in terms of whitening scorn. That
editor spent night of last week in the county
Jail at New Ulm. This actually happened to an
American editor backing up our Boys, whereas not
few Shiny creatures are at large spewing false
hood and venom against the loyal straightforward
citizens who supported our country, America. It
looks to US as though someone has certainly "gone
too far" Brown County may regret the incident
sorey and Pfaender surely cannot hope to reap
joy or satisfaction out of it either.-Jordan In

first Of these ordinances provides for the proper

civil bill by items. Here are parts of
the debate on packing boxes:
Mr.. Mann-"It is not matter of
any very great Importance to me per-
sonally, but was wondering what the
special reason was for refusing to
make provision for packing boxes,
especially for the new members Of The
next house." f
Mr.. Wood-"We appropriated $4,000
for this purpose last year. The clerk,
who has the expenditure in charge, as
certained that he could not get the
boxes without paying three times as
much as the appropriation and three
times as much as he formerly paid
for them In view of that fact. no
boxes were purchased"
Mr.. Mann.-"The purpose of provid-
ing packing boxes was to furnish box
es which could be used in carrying Off
cial documents back and forth between
Washington and our homes, including
a box for shipment of plants from the
Botanical Gardens / am frank to say

economy measure, this bill is one Of
the most economic measures ever re-
ported by congressional committees.
Even if it must be considered purely
from a dollars-and-cents' point of
view, it will stand the test. Sena-
tor Smoot recently said: 1T would be
more accurate to estimate the waste
in government publications to be near
ly million dollars year. If for
$18,7O0, the cost of the service, which
is about one fifty-fourth of million,
even one-tenth of the material could
be salvaged, the new Office would have
justified itself as an economy measure.
''The American people support ex-
pensive research sections in practical

Honors for Liggett, Billiard and March

mand of field armies in the American
expeditionary forces etc.
Senator Wadsworth said in parts
1.-THE terms confine the recognition to
two generals, General Liggett and Gen
eral Billiard General Liggett com-
manded the First army, and General
Billiard the Second. General Liggett
must be retired on account of age on
March q next. General Billiard has
three more years to serve upon the
active list before retirement. The
committee very sincerely believes that
the bill should pass, but is especially
concerned over the status of General
Liggett. If congress does not take any
action with respect to him at this ses-
sion he, will be retired in the grade of
major general, which he now occupies.
1t is accurate to say that General Lig-
gett is the only general officer OF the
army who, after the war is over, finds
himself in the same grade which he
occupied before the war started"
During debate it came out that Gen.
eral March was the third general nf'
ticer intended to be promoted.

Water Power and the National Parks

bill brought to the surface the tight

defenders Of the national parks. This
bill provides for the enlargement OF

Roosevelt. The water-power interests
are DESTROYS of getting water-poWer
permits on waters flowing west out
of the proposed addition, as the power
can be easily delivered to Pacific coast
cities. Onder the new water-power
act the water-power commission may
grant permits in all public lands, in
Guiding national parks. A bill to
amend this act by excluding the ma
tional parks has been introduced.

Dipping is the only practical way
to rid sheep of ticks and lice, say ex-

point out that lice cause sheep to
pull their wool and thus injure the
fleece.
Bad as ticks are, lice are said to be
even more dreaded. Sometimes 1t is
even difficult to find them. If sheep
has pulled it's wool badly, however,
and the farmer looks closely at the
skin over the spots where the wool
is most disturbed, he will likely find
small black specks which at first he
may take for timothy seeds or chaff.
AS he watches them closely, however,
he will see that they move.
