Special Commemorative Emblem to q.
Presented to All Americans
Who Served.

All Americans who served overseas
as members of units Of the French
command during. the World war are
to receive handsome decoration from
the French government, to be known
as the French commemorative medal.
Distribution will he made from the
Office Of the French military attache
at Washington. It Is estimated that
from ten to fifteen thousand Ameri-
cans are entitled to the medal. Since
they are scattered all over the coun-
try, the French government has ap-
pealed to the more than eleven thou
sand posts Of the American Legion to
publish the news of the medal offer
to eligible veterans.
The medals are to 60 to all Ameri-
can citizens who served during the
World war. as members of the French
army and navy; as physicians, nurses,
pharmacists or administrators in
French sanitary units between August
= 1914, and November II, 1918; US
members Of relief agencies under
French command, and as motor
drivers. operators and secretaries in
the regular organizations Of the French

sUNFLoWER GOOD AS sILAes
Becoming Popular In Northwestern
Sections Where Corn Is Diff
cult to Grow.

p The use of sunflowers for silage has
proved popular in certain of the North.
ern Great Plains and Inter- Mountain
states where it is not possible to pro-
duce large tonnage of corn for s;lage
purposes. In some sections the silage
made from sunflowers has been found
to compare favorably in palatability
and feeding value with silage made
from corn. This is not always the
case. however, as it appears that in
certain irrigated districts in the North
ern Great Plains where the growth Of
sunf1owers is rank and succulent, the
resulting silage is often not very pal
atable. Experiments reported from
the Huntley experiment farm In Mon
tana of the United States Department
Of Agriculture show that while 1t is
possible to produce from 25 to 80 tons
Of sunflowers per acre, 1t has been DIFF
hcult to produce silage that is as
much relished by live stock as corn
silage, which gives rather less than
half as much tonnage per acre.

LEGION HERO WITH ONE LEG
Detroit Member Of Organization Die.
plays Makeup Of True Soldier
During Fire.

Once a hero, always a hero, is what
Detroit is saying of Leo thurman,
World war veteran, who lost leg in
France, but who nevertheless saved
the life of a stranger in q burning
building recently, while able-bodied
spectators stood about wringlng their
hands.
Thurman, member Of the Charles
A. Learned post Of the American Lee
gion, lost his left leg at the thigh
while serving as a machine gunner
with the 1hirty-second division of the
A. E. f. Early one morning he was
awakened by shouts and soon learned
that nearby house was ON fire.
CARRIED in a dressing gown he made
his way to the burning house and
found crowd Of spectators awaiting
the fire department. Fears were ex-
pressed for the safety Of occupants in
the house, and as no one volunteered
to enter, the Legionnaire broke open
a window and went in. He returned
dragging Aaron Pruitt, whom he found
overcome on bed.
"Any soldier would have done the
same thing" declared the hero.
