DETECTIVES OF THE LEGION
National Commander GaIbraith Out
lines What Is Planned to Be Ac-
compIished During the Year.

The detectives of the American Le-
gion for the year 1921 were told by
F. w. Galbraith, Jr., national COM
mander, in recent speech in Gin
cinnati, at a dinner attended by Lee
gionnaires and business men.
Mr.. Galbraith cited the disabled
mans problems as the Legion's para
mount concern and termed the finding
of a satisfactory solution as zone job
that is going to be DONE"
"Woe unto the man." he added, cor

fully stands in the way of paying the
honorable obligation the government
owes these men. Whoever he is he
will have to get out"
He warned against the activities of
| the I. w. w. and kindred organiza-
lions and outlined the position of the
Legion as follows:
1.-THE time has come when a line
must be drawn between loyal and dis
| loyal Americans. We do not claim to
have a monopoly on patriotism but
| because of our service our loyalty is
a little clearer to our hearts and is a
little more intense. We intend to
crush this thing, if it ever raises its
head, that we already have fought and
/ licked"
Mr.. Galbraith also spoke of the de-
| sire of the Legion to unite with the
veterans associations of the allies. in
ordar IN nromote international amity
"People accuse US Of being over
enthusiastic" he said. "They declare
that we believe ourselves to be the
only patriots. God knows we are not.
If we were it would be a sorry day for
the nation. We know we have hun
bred million associates and we ask
| them to help us because without their
good will and assistance we can ac-
| compliSh nothing"

SOME ODD FACTS ABOUT COAL
Material Is Not Always Black in Color
-Colliery Merely Derivation
From CoaIery.

A colliery used to be called a coal
cry. Coal-meter is an old name given
TO one who superintendent the meas
uring of Goals. Coalstone is species
of hard, Opaque, inf1ammable coal.
which does not soil or dirty the fin
gers when touched. 1t is jet-black,
and can be cut. Brown coal has been
found at Bovey, Devonshire and on the
continent. Coal-hod is an old-fash-
Toned name for scuttle. Gas light can
be traced back over 200 years. A Mr..
7. Shirley, in 1863, attributed a burn
ing well at Wigan to the presence of
coal underneath it. Just about this
time a Mr.. Clayton procured gas by
distilling coal. Practical lighting,
however, came very slowly. In 1929
a Mr.. Murdoch Illuminated his house
with gaslight, and very poor show it
is said to have been. He lived at Re-
druth, Cornwall. In 1902 Birmingham,
in celebrating the peace of Amiens,
frightened up large factory with
gaslight. Thousands journeyed to see
the wonderful sight-which led to
gas-works being established at that
place, and in Manchester and Halifax.

HONOR FOR CANADA
Wins Championships at lnterna-
tionaI Live Stock Show.
Splendid Exhibits, Both of Animals
and Grain, Won Admiration Of
Judges and Spectators.

One of the most interesting sights
at the international Live Stock show
at Chicago was the evening parades
Of horses and cattle. AS the Cana
dian section Of these parades came in
to view, and as it passed around the
ring, there was continued applause.
There were two or three reasons for
this, the principal one being that in
this section there were the wonderful
Clydesdales, the Belgians and the Per-
cherons that had carried off champion
ships and first prizes. The province
of Saskatchewan had a splendid dis
play of Clydesdales and showed in
number of classes, and in every class
they got in the money A remarkable
and noted winning was that of the
University of Saskatchewan, showing
Lady Bruce" female Clydesdale, in
class of "a and taking second. In
competition there were entries from
such famous studs as Conyngham Bros.
of Wilkesbarre, P. L. James of Easton,
Mass, and George Chiett of the same
state. She was beaten by an imported
mare, but was later made champion
American-bred mare and reserve
grand champion, an honor never before
conferred upon anything but an i'm
ported animal.
The following are some of the good
things that Canada won at the Inter-
national, in fair fight and no favors.
Grand championship for Clydesdale
stations; championship for American
bred Clydesdale mares; reserve senior
and reserve grand championships for
Clydesdale mares; grand champion
ship for SOuthdown sheep; sweepstakes
grand championship for wheat for the
continent of America; championship
for Durum wheat for America.
Another of the reasons for the ap-
plause given the Canadian sections of
the parade was the heartiness with
which the American spirit was imbued
that impelled it to greet with the full
est appreciation the efforts of the win
ner, and the hundreds of Canadians in
the immense audience of the amphi-
theater appreciated it.
The purpose that Canada had in
making exhibits from their farms,
whether it was of live stock-and they
had it there in all branches-grains,
grasses or roots, was to demonstrate
that the war had not created devasta
ton. that the country was alive with
interest in the matter of production
and that it had ability to produce in a
manner that would bring it champion
ships, and what better place than the
International, where it would be placed
before thousands, many of whom, with
the enlightenment thus gained and
with a desire to better their condition,
would be made to realize that in the
neighboring country to the north there
was an opportunity that it might be
of advantage to them to embrace

She Had the Habit.

She was ten years old, and she had
gone almost every evening of her
young life to movies. For the first time
she was taken to see play on the

Breathlessly she sat at the end of
her seat and watched and listened and
was thrilled.

Mennonite Colony Opposed.

The plan of colony of Mennonites
to settle in Louisiana is being opposed
by Legionnaires of that state on ac-
count of their evasion of war service.
The Legion recently prevented pro-
posed settlement of the same sect in
Mississippi, and at the second annual
convention of the Legion the Louisiana
delegation opposed the change to
Louisiana. The Pelicanaire. the Off
cial newspaper of the department of
Louisiana, began the fight against the
Mennonites that resulted in the pas
sage Of the Legion resolution.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
