Fer the China Famine Fund.

Rev. DR.. Charles ChIselin has sent
another contribution Of $3.50 to the
Chinese Famine Fund. making a total
Of S20S.50 contributed from Shep-
herdstown for this worthy cause. Dr.
Chiselin has received COPY of the fol-
lowing cablegram from the American
Committee in Picking:
Funds previously provided have been
practically exhausted BY grain pur-
chase for consumption before May l.
The most critical period in the famine
will be the subsequent six weeks pre-
ceding the harvest late in Iune
Leaves, greens and bark are nearly
exhausted. Imminent danger that peo-
pie will devour growing grain unless
helped. All relief grain delivered
free; practically all relief workers
serving without paw. TRYING to help
themselves, victims have unroofed
houses and sold timber. Farm imple-
ments, household utensils and clothing
sold to buy food. Farm animals sold
or eaten. Funds hitherto contributed
have saved millions Of lives.
The American Committee announces
that the week from May lst 10 Nav 9Th
will be devoted to closing efforts to
raise the additional funds necessary
to stay further suffering from the
dreadful famine. Dr. Ghselin will be
glad to receive additional contributions
during the week. which he will
promptly forward. Make one more
sacrifice for these poor starving
people.

Baseball To The Front

mere was a hot game of baseball

the Leetown high school and the bows
OF the ShepherdStown high school.
We are sorry TO report that our homo
team Was defeated by the score of 10

ana the winners such a fine bunch OF
youngsters that nobody begrudsed
tnem the game. In fact, the kindly
disposed rooterS were quite impartial
with their applause of worthy features
Iharlle Willis, the Leetown pitcher
was easily the star. That boy has 90,
lots of stuff, and he waved and wob-
bled the old pill in such confusing style

without any special exertion he GOT
around the bases Just as if nobody was
trying TO impede him, and made fv,

Just what Louie" would have done in
a regular uniform is hard TO tell.
John Gardner held down third base
in especially good style-but he had
to, for his daddy was looking right at
him. Little Jimmy Strider was the
midget OF the team in stature. but a
giant in pluck. Jimmie was unfortu-
nate in that his legs were trifle short
which difficulty prevented him from
reaching first base as often as nc
should. Catcher Bradley did good
work IN stopping the hot ones that Will

IN the game for Shepherdstown only

himself with glory. Going TO centre

Livestock Marketing Agency Appeals
to Farmers for Loyal

South St. Paul, Aug. 18-Co-oper-
ative marketing, developed by Min
nesota farmers during the last 20
years to point where it is entering
the terminal markets, is facing the
greatest test during the next few
months, according to w. A. McKer-
row, manager Of the new cooperative
livestock marketing agency here.
The Central Cooperative Commits
sion association, sponsored by the
farm bureau, is now in active opera
ton on the South St. Paul market.
"The livestock producers of the
northwest must be prepared to sup
port their selling agency through the
bitterest sort of discrimination and
opposition. Mr.. McKerrow said.
ALREADY we have had to meet tactics
that should not be permitted in a
public market that handles the peo-
pies food. The success of centralized
cooperative marketing demands on
the answering support of the farm
ers who created this central selling
agency. They can provide a volume
of business that will break the back
of any scheme to discredit co-opera-
tive marketing.
Many of the best stockmen, en-
ployed by the farmers association,
Mr.. McKerrow said, are working for
less than they were getting with the

II Le99fi14ee,
A GROWING FACTOR

There are some people IN America
possessed of an active but unground-
ed fear that the American Legion is
a selfish organization of, by and for
service men only. They profess to
see in such a tendency menace to
America. Had they been observers
at the recent state convention of the
American Legion of Minnesota held
in Winona, they would have seen and
heard much to allay their fears.
They would have learned that the
Legion's interest in its own disabled,
crippled, war-stricken members is not
a selfish matter. 1t is not to the
credit of the nation that the Legion
has had to wage an active and per-
nistent fight against heavy odds in
order to secure for these men and
women slight measure of justice, a
tolerate degree of decent treatment
from the nation in whose behalf they
incurred their disability. Without the
Legion's fight the country would have
been ashamed before the eyes of the
world.
These observers would have learn
ed that the young men and women Of
the American Legion gave serious
thought to other matters of general
patriotic concern. Aside from the
time and energy given to various and
sundry lines of activity, perhaps the
most striking indication of thought
full interest in matters of American
ism was the reception given and adj
dress by DR.. F. o. Norton of the
Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa.
Mr.. Norton is member of the ma
tional Americanism Commission of
the American Legion.
His address came at the close of a
long day during which the attention
of delegates had been riveted on num-
erous speeches and reports through
two full sessions. Mr.. Norton over
came this handicap, partly by his own
powerful eloquence and charm of
expression; partly because his
audience was in very hearty accord
with him in his exposition of THOSE
principles which make Americanism
true, vital force. The attitude of
the thousand Legionaires who heard
him for an hour was a refutation of
attacks upon the Legion and a chal-
lenge to forces that seek to under
mine America.
The usefulness of the American
Legion as training school in public
life was demonstrated by the con-
vention. After three days of rather
lively campaigning, officers were ele-
cted who are representative of the
Legion in Minnesota, who typify the
best the organization has, and who
can confidently be relied upon for the
able, devoted and contructive admin
istration of the American Legion in
the department of Minnesota. Under
their leadership the Legion will con-
tinue to grow as an important factor
in the worthwhile, activities of the
state.
Joyce Lewis, member Of the Le-
gion at Long Prairie, Mimi, was of
the mourners at the funeral of his
buddy, Corporal Robert Burns Hess
at St. Paul recently. Lewis owes
owes his life to the dead soldier. The
latter dragged him out of shell hole
in No Mans Land and was later kill
ed in action. Lewis, though crippled
to the United States He
lost all trace of his rescuer until he
read in the nespapers that the body
of his comrade would be brought |
back from France for reburial.
