BIC CONVENTION
f ENDS ITS WORK
AMERICAN LEGION ADOPTS RES
OLUTI0N SETTING FORTH
WHAT 1T STANDS FOR.

Rapid City, Aug. 30.-The third
annual convention of the American
Legion passed number of import
ant resolutions aside + those
those extending the ths ks of the
Legion men to Rapid City for her
splendid entertainment and thanking
those who addressed the convention.
The Legion takes a strong stand
against the action of the United
States senate, stating that it catered
TO the interests of big business when
il decided to postpone giving TO the
men of the country who went out and
fought for il national bonus.
The state legislature is urged to
pass a boxing bill which will allow
boxing contests under the auspices
of the American Legion with restric-
tions.
1t is also urged that the state Of
ficials enforce the soldier preference
act, which, it is claimed, is not being
carried out at the present time.
An important measure is that urg-
ing the federal government to turn
over to the state of South Dakota the
buildings and equipment at Fort
Meade, near Sturgis, or for it TO be
used by the government, for the hos
pitaliZation of disabled ex-service
men.
The people of the state are given
appreciation for their action at the
polls on voting s6.000,000 as COM
pensation for the soldiers who enter
ed the service from this state. and
the resolutions also commend the
legislature for the passage of the
language bill, the soldier preference
act, and the legislature and Red
Cross for the work of erecting a
building and doing the work of car
ing for disabled soldiers taking vo-
cational training at the state college
at Brookings
The action of business houses
and other institutions in using. the
American Legion name is condemn
ed, it being claimed that it tends to
cheaper the organization.

GRAIN GROWERS
GREAT GROWTH
L. ). GRAIN GROWERS. INC. AT
CLOSE LAST WEEK HAD MEM
BERSHIP OF 6.649.

Henry, Aug. 30.-U. s. Grain
Grower organizers last week obtain
ed 1,514 new memberships. bringing
the total up to 6.649, according to
a report just received by j. T. Belk
from the national headquarters.
During the six-day period, Al local
elevators signed contracts. In all,
31S elevators have joined the move
ment.
The outstanding feature of the
work, the report says, was the show
ing made by field men working in IL
linois, under Robert n. Clarke OF
Stronghurst, 265 memberships hay
ing been obtained in four counties.
This puts Illinois in second position
with 1,021 members-North Dakota,
standing in first place, where work
has been in progress for a much
longer period. Oklahoma is third
with 500 and Nebraska fourth with
sos.
Leaders generally are for the
movement" said Mr. Clarke. "E. B.
Ruger, working in Mclean county
says 80 to 95 per cent of the men
solicited have become members. Even
in territory where considerable oppo-
sition from the organized grain trade
has been encountered, IS per cent
of the grain already is under con-
tract In Mclean county, solicitors
have signed 500 contracts. In one
day, solicitors there obtained 33 con-
tracts. The membership in LaSalle
stands AT sos. Work in Douglas
county is getting under way, 46
agreements have been obtained in
that section last week.
In Oklahoma, Director C. H. Hyde
reports good progress, his men hav-
ing obtained 191 contracts during
the last six days. bringing the total
u pto 699. In South Dakota, thresh-
ing continues to delay field work but
Director Belk obtained &c agree
ments during the week. This was
incidental to work with elevator di-
rectors. The same condition pre-
walls in North Dakota, where Direc-
tor U. L. Burdick does not expect to
begin intensified solicitation for the
1922 crop for a month or more.

ATHEIST BAND
SC0FFSAT LAWS
NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS OF
THEORETICAL ANARCHISTS
LOCATED NEAR TOWN OF
STELTON, n. j.

Stelton, N. J., Aug. 30.-About a
railway station of this town there
flourishes the paradise of atheism"
a colony where the laws of God and
man are scoffed at except when eS
pediency demands.
The colony is maintained by the
Ferrer association and is the ma
tional headquarters of the theoretic-
al anarchists of the United States.
Members of the cult give no allegi-
ance whatsoever to the country
which shelters and feeds them and
the only flag on the fifty-seven acre
plot is the red rag of anarchy.
There are It's people living in the
colony, chiefly Russian Jews. All
are extremists and liberals of the
most pronounced type. They do not
openly defy the laws of the country,
but ignore them as much as possible.
Free love is not tolerated in the
sense it usually is understood, but
there is no insistence upon the mar
ried state. The leaders of the col
ony maintain that he affairs between
man and woman concern none but
themselves.
The colony maintains school IN
which children are given the regular
primary course in accordance with
the New Jersey laws. but all refer
ence to religion or patriotism are
strictly taboo. The children are not
taught to respect the American
flag, hut they are educated to criti-
else all laws that may in any way in
terfere with their absolute freedom.
Children of anarchists born of COM
mon law marriages, are sent here
from all parts of the country Ii the
parents of the child cannot provide
for support, the burden is assumed
by the colony.
Americans in the neighborhood
the hotly opposed to the anarchist
colony and are doing everything in
their power to break up the assem-
bly,. When the red flag was unfuri-
ed from the water tower TO celebrate
the uprising in Germany, indignant
neighbors informed the state and
national authorities and began mass
ing around he colony for action
The flag promptly came down and
has not appeared on the tower since.

GERMANY MUST
PAY FOR LUS|TAMA
SEIZED PROPERTY WILL BE
HELD UNTIL EBERT GOVERN
MENT SETTLES CLAIMS.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Geremany
must pay for the American lives lost
on the Lusitania and satisfy all other
claims of the United States and its
citizens for war losses caused by the
former kaiser's government before
German property now held by this
government will be returned, Tho
mas w. Miller, alien property GUS
todian, said today.
The present German government,
Miller pointed out, has agreed to this
in the new treaty with Germany, but
he emphasized that no steps will be
taken toward return of German
property until actual payment has
been made of all just claims by the
Ebert government.
The American claims against Ger
many, including indemnity for de-
pendents of those who were lost
when the Lusitania was sunk total
$500. 900, 900 for the maintenance of
the American army of occupation.
The value of German property
held by the alien property custodian
is now about $500, 100000 due to
depreciation of securities and to the
fact that some of the holdings have
been returned, Miller said. About
$50, 600, 900 of the seized property
has been turned back as the result
of court decisions. The state de-
partment now is at work on COM
pilation of all claims against Ger
many. Most of the Lusitania claims
already have been filed by families
of those who were lost in the great
sea crime.
'T believe Germany will pay the
American claims promptly" said
Miller. Strong pressure will be
brought to bear on the Berlin gov
eminent to make the payments by
those who are anxious to get back
the property we are now holding"

FARMERS WANTING
ONLY THEIR OWN
PRESIDENT OF GRAIN GROW
ERS' ORGANIZATION SAYS
THEY ARE ENTERING MAR
KETS As COMPETITORS.

Yankton, Aug. 30.-That the u.
ing class legislation or any other
form of special consideration was
point made clear by the president
of the company, C. III. Gustafson, a
Nebraska farmer, inspeaking to an
audience of South Dakota farmers
who gathered here under the auspi-
ces of the Farmers union and the
Yankton County Farm Bureau.
We are asking no special advan-
tages," Mr.. Gustafson said, but
you may be certain that we farmers
have reached point where we are
geing to demand equal privileges on
American grain markets. / know of
no valid reason why farmers should
be barred from realizing the full
market value for the products of
their own labor and investment.
I'VE are entering the markets on
a purely competitive basis. Ours
is a strictly business proposition.
The only difference between onI
plan and the one that has been used
for so long is that the u. 5. Grain
Growers, Inc, is purely cooperative
and will return the full market va
lue of the crop. less actual handling
costs, to the grower.
1.-The fact that we have 5-yeal
contract has been attacked by oul
critics. 1t is true that an agreement
of this kind is new to grain grow
ers of the middle west, but such ar
arrangement has proved entirely
satisfactory to farmer organizations
in other parts of the country.
