What Legion Men Are Doing


Discussions regarding the relation
ship OF the American Legion and
the Ku Klux Klan. growing out OF
the refusal OF Rev. Francis Tucker
to accept the post OF State chaplain.
10 which he was elected at the re-
cent convention in Milford. will prob
ably feature the meetings Of the
three local Legion posts on Monday
night.
The State convention OF the Legion.
at which Rev. Tucker was elected
chaplain. voted down two resolutions
aimed at the Klan and denouncng
the activities OF the organization as
contrary to the principals OF the
American Legion, and "usurpa-
tion OF the lawful powers of consti-
tuted authority by masked and Of
ten lawless persons" Il was be-
cause OF this that Mr.. Tucker re-
fused TO serve, leaving the State Le-
gion without any chaplain.
The first resolution was presented
| by the Middletown Post. and was
tabled on a motion OF Gus Wedler.
Of Lawrence Roberts Post. The
second resolution, presented by the
Norman ID. Scott Post. Of this city.
was voted down. Both resolutions
were similar In language.
Although many Of the local Legion
men consider Father Tucker as be-
ing hasty in his action, they all agree
in the opinion that nothing can in
duce him to change his course.
Many have asserted that they could
not oppose the Klan as an organiza-
ton, but they would be opposed to
the klan IL it could be proven def
nitely that the outrages attributed
10 them were Of their doing. They
are unanimous in their expression
that the klan cannot take over the
lawful powers Of constituted au-
thority.
The three posts meeting Monday
night are Delaware Post, No. /, IN
st. Andrews Parish House: John L.
Fisher Post. No. IS, in the Y. NJ. c.
A; and the Lawrence Roberts Post,
No. 21, in the American Red Cross
Hall. 911 Delaware avenue.
Another question that will most
probably come up for discussion at
meetings Of local posts this week
will be that Of the proposed Armis-
tice Day celebration. Nothing def

You didn't realize that there were
days when it seemed to the young
woman clerk that every woman in
town had started out TO look at
linens without the least idea Of what
she wanted and not prepared to pur-

from the counter unsold.
You didn't understand that on
such days the floor manager seemed
TO be always at hand and sent a

the Legion request City Council to

best way Of initiating the scenes in

being 10 shape themselves up. Il
became apparent TO members OF the
John l.. Fisher Post, No. IS. that
their attempt to bring music Of high
quality to tbs city was a financial
failure.
This Is due to the exceedingly
small interest shown by the people
Of Wilmington in the AFFAIR and the
consequent poor support which they
gave Il. and the expenses attached to
bringing the Marine band here. The
Fisher post had to guarantee the
musicians $500 10 acquire their SER

agreed to fare Of one cent per mile

who deisre 10 make the trip may
secure tickets by applying to Henry

Il is considered probable that
with the formation OF a Federal EN-
ployment Bureau in this city, the
present American Legion Employ
ment Committee. headed by Eugene
Savery, will work in conjunction with
the Federal Bureau in finding en-
ployment for unemployed ex-servcs

Billion Dead
GrassEloppers
In Crook Co.

Bend, July 29.-0f the eleven
billion grasshoppers roughly esti-
mated to have inhabited Crane
Prairie two weeks ago, 914,76O,-
900 are dead as the result of the
arsenic poisoning campaign con-
ducted by County Agriculturist d.
L. Jamison. At any rate, these are
the figures given out by Jamison
after a lengthy computation.
The insect dead are strewn over
20 acres, Jamison says. An addi-
tional 20 acres was sprinkled with
poison but so sparingly that the
results were not good, Jamison
says.
The new generation of grass
hoppers is still Matching at the
prairie, and as they are constantly
on the move, JamisOn considers
that it is better to declare an ar
mistice until the insects concen-
trate on some definite area. If
this is done, a determined effort
will be made to wipe out the hop
pers just before they lay their eggs
in the fall.

Husband Accused
Of Bad Tempar

Charging that the bad temper
of her husband almost drove her
insane and that he failed to pro-
vide enough and suitable clothing
for herself and her children, suit
for divofce of Goldie May Sharpe
against Claude Sharpe, which was
originally filed in the Clackamas
county, but changed to the Ma
rion county courts by order, was
filed yesterday afternoon with the
county clerk.
In reply to his wife's accusa-
tions Sharpe denies that he had
bad temper and states that his
witnesses will prove it. He furth-
er states that his wife moved to
Oregon City and lived with her
sister there and that what expense
she has gone too has been thru
her extravaganza.
In protecting the change of
venue Mrs. Sharpe states that the
testimony of the witnesses for her
husband will not be pertinent and
have no bearing on the case.
The couple were married in
April, 1917, in Salem and have
two children.
