Ross County post, of the American Legion responded, shouldering shovels and brooms to give the city thorough cleansing. Twenty teams of horses and fifteen dumping trucks were bor- rowed for the work, which was under taken by the Legion members because of the city's depleted finances. The cleanup saved Chillicothe S2,0O0.
 Motion picture films were made of Harry Kelley, member of New Or leans, La., post of the American Leg ion, who risked his life several times daily in the interest of the Legion's campaign for new members in New Orleans. Kelley hung by his toes from the tallest buildings, climbed up the highest flag pole he could find and rocked it until it broke, then he drop ped into net below.

 "My name is Smith and my buddy's name is Brown. I've bet him trip to the next American Legion conven- tion at Kansas City that there were more Smiths than Browns in the Army during the World War. Who wins ?"
 This query was received by the Washington bureau of the American Legion News Service from a member of an Oklahoma post. The answer was:
 "You win, buddy Smith, by 3,900 majority. There were 51 900 Smiths in the Army and only 4S,000 Browns It's good thing that you didn't get into bet with one of the Johnston tribe, who numbered 5 200 in Uncle Sam's Army"

Other inquiries come in the following proportion: Vocational training, 10 percent; retainer pay, percent; Lib erty bonds and Victory medals, 21a percent each; miscellaneous, percent.
 With the holding of the United States Attorney General that the gov ernment will not be liable in the send ing out of lists of men who evaded military service, the War Department will send the draft deserter lists dir ect to state departments of the Amer ican Legion. Departments in turn will distribute them to posts which will check them before they are re- leased for newspaper publication, to make certain that no men are unjust ly branded deserters and evaders.

Why Hats eaase Badness.

1t is necessary for the hair to have
sufficient air and good circulation Of
the blood as 1t is for the body. Both
must i'tfeathe. and both must be sup.
Piled with blood to carry off impuri'
ties. Ip the case of hair, the blood is
supplied through tiny veins situated
around the roots and any tight eand
around the upper portion Of the head
will cause the hair to die and fall opr.
The. construction Of mems hats is
such that they press rather tightly
upon the toreliead and the bulging
portion Of the hehd at the back, thus
Impending free circulation of the
blood. na2 '
The connection between a mans hal
and his badness is clear from the fact
that there are but few men who ar'
entirely bald, Most Of them have
fringe around the ears and the lowe'
portion OF the. back Of the head, parts
which are not covered by their hats

EaUines In History.

The famines of the ancient world,
usually confined TO , comparatively
small countries, such as Egypt or Pei
estine, were largely due to the small
ness of the area depended upon for
food. Unfavorable conditions were
general and failure in one part usual
ly meant failure throughout the coun-
try. And only one or two crops were
depended upon,
Another cause Of those ancient fam
ines and of some Of the famines in Eu-
rope during the Middle ages, was want
Of means of transportation. The land
where famine prevailed might not be
more distant than q hundred miles

LEATHER DEALERS PROTEST
HIDE TALE
Declare Adair County Stories Are
PrepOsterous.
(Des Moines Registerl

A few weeks ago The Register
printed letter from A. j. Leeper
of Adair county in which he told
the story of how he shipped hides
to Omaha and got back eight cents
in postage stamps as his profit,
after paying carrying charges.
This brought a letter to him
from friend in Kansas City relat-
ing the story of how Mexican
had brought up some Texas steers
and sold them for $50 each and
took home a side of sole leather
which cost him $50, though the
hide of a steer makes two sides of
sole leather.
j. w. Boyt of the Walter Boyt
Co., Inc. Oeather) of Des Moines
seriously questions the value of pub
fishing information of this kind, de-
claring it to be misinforming and
misleading. Investigation" Mr.,
Boyt says, twill show that there is
no class of people who have lost SO
much money during the last eighteen
months as the hide dealers"
Mr.. Boyt says that the Texas steer
quotation on the day The Register
printed the story referred to was
$3.50; since Texas steers average
above 1000 pounds they bring
around $50 a head. On the same
day sole leather was quoted at Sc
cents and a side of sole leather
weighs about fifteen pounds, it was
worth $3.50.
"You can see, therefore" says Mr.
Boyt, show absolutely impossible and

IS OLD LONDON PLAYGROUND
Hyde Park Has for Centuries Been
the Scene OF Amusements Dear
to Englshmen.

In Hyde park, London, nearly every
game and sport known to the English
has been practiced at one time or an
other. In 1850 the French ambassa-
dor hunted there with the king. In
1878 the Duke Casimir 'killed bar
rem doe with his piece in Hyde park
from among 300 other deer" In the
reign of Charles / the park became
celebrated for It's foot and horse races
round the ring the dusty mill-horse
drive" as Lady Malapert calls 1t.
"Shall we make a fling to London"
wrote Richard Bronze, land see how
the spring appears there In the spring
gardens; and in Hyde park, to see the
races, horse and foot; to hear the
jockies crack"
Racing In the ring was one OF the
greatest attractions In the park. and
some of the. meetings were thought
to be of great importance, as even
among the state papers there is pre-
served the agreement for a race that
took place there. Charles l mixed
freely with his subjects on these occa-
sions, but, looking on the royal park
as his own possession. he once ordered
the election of Berkshire squire
whom he referred to as an ugly ras-
CAL" The "ugly rascal overheard
the phrase. He went away quietly,
but vowed vengeance, and gradually
embittered the whole of his country
against the king. He had, indeed. his
revenge, for writ large on Charles rs
death warrant was the name Of the
ugly rascal"

picture Judas with BED Hair.

For centuries the people of Eng

TO red hair-a feeling attributed by
historians and other experts to the
hatred originally felt for the inyad-

cropped up In a number Of ways, OF
which none Is more interesting than
the popular impression that Judas
Iscariat had red hair and beard.
The old dramatists and poets make
frequent illusions TO the subject

We can make things hit on high;
Dust thou art, to dust returneth,
Is song of bye and bye.
Now's the time to do the boosting,
Do not wait till tomorrow, Sun;
You may in the grave be roosting,
All your chance of boosting gone.
Lay aside your little hammer,
Grab horn and toOt few;
Squelch the kicker's dad-burned yam.

With joyful blast or two.
Oh, our town is sure pippin
And we ought to boost it big;
When we hear some growler yippin,
