U. s. Grain Growers to Start Campaign
A letter received at the Farm Bureau
office from A. l.. Middleton, director
of the U. S. Grain Growers for Iowa
and a member OF the committee OF
Seventeen which was appointed by
President Howard OF the American
Farm Bureau Federation and has de-
veloped a safe and sound cooperative
grain marketing plan for the grower,
says that they are starting the work
Iowa. The campaign has been on
for some time in Illinois and they
are backing it 50 percent strong. The
soundness of the cooperative market
ing plan of the Committee of Seventeen
has never been successfully disputed.
Even leading Board of Trade men
agree that the plan is economically
sound and will result in money saving
to both producer and consumer. Inc
H.. S. Grain Growers, inc, is de-
serving of our support. The way to
support the farmers cooperative grain
marketing plan is to join it. Every
one is for it except the grain dealers
association and they are raising large
amounts of money to fight it. Why?
because it will do away with specu-
lation. They are sending out literature
by the ton to local grain dealers and
banks, asking them to put up cards
and distribute letters trying to get
farmers to go against their own prop
osition. The farmers must work to-
gether.

frowning upon the efforts of disloyal-

Will Show 100000 Veterans
Enrolled i'm Lection

"hlle official verfication has not
neen given by state Headquarters of
the American Legion, it is safe to pre-
DICT at this time that the total mem
oershlp of the Legion in the denart -.
ment OF New York will exceed 100 COO
for the year 1921
Added impetus has been given to the
campaign for new Legionnaires by the
success of the organizations fight for
beneficial legislation, laws which will
better the conditions under which dis
abied and wounded veterans are living
and will grant g bonus to other ex7
service men and women.
The state is leading all other depart :
ments in the country by many thousand
members and when the national con-
yention is called to order in Kansas
City next fall probably will have a
delegation present which will outnum-
Der any others there.
A suggestion was made by state
headquarters by which it is hoped to
give even greater impetus to the mem
bership drive. 1t is that each post in
the state make itself an agency for the
collection and filing of bonus applica-
tons. In this way, it is pointed out,
the veterans who are not enrolled will
come to recognize the Legion as an
agency for their own benefit and will

Veteran Who Can't
Hold Job Is Asked
To See Red Cross
New York County Organiza-
ton Will Assist Disabled
Men in Fight for Justice

The disabled ex~service man who has
been for months in the hospital and
hnds himself on his discharge physi-
cally unable to hold a job, or faced
with the prospect of further medical
II ca tment, is wanted by the New York
County Chapter of the Red Cross. The
Fed Cross is making a determined
ort to round up all such men in
New York City and see that thew avail
themselves of recent generous regula-
lions issued by the War Risk Bureau.
According to the new ruling an ex-
service man now receiving $50 month,
who is in hospital and has been for
period of SIX months and whose dis
ability is incidental to service. is en-
titled to his insurance of S57 SO a
month while his condition continues.
and in addition his compensation is
increased to 500 month. Should he
even leave the hospital and go to his
home, if his condition as revealed by
riedlcal examination has not improved
and he is unable to follow any sub
stantlally galnful occupation, the in
sulance and compensation payments of
Sl57 so month will not be disturbed.
good many eX-service men who let
thelr insurance lapse at time of dis
Charge anu WHO are now permanently
and totally disabled will be able Under
this new regulation to secure full COM
pensation and substantial insurance
payment. The ruling is retroactive
ard many of the men have a good
sized check coming to them if they
only knew it.
In its effort to push these claims
expeditiously the Red Cross has added
tc its staff former official of the
War Risk Bureau, George Fell, at
one time head of the Field Investiga-
ton Service. Four claims of men, who
are patients in a local public health
service hospital, were recently settled
by the Red Cross in the record time
OF thirteen days, total of $4,000
being awarded them in the form of
checks for back pay and increased
compensation.

General Lafayette Post, of
Police Department, Is
Latest to Apply for Mem
bership in Body

With 220 chartered and active auxil
iaries, the New York State American
Legion is forging ahead of all other de-
partments, according to a statement
yesterday by Miss Ray C. Sawyre, chair
man of the State Auxiliary Committee.
One hundred others are in the process
of formation, and by September /, it is
expected, there will be approximately
300 units busily at work.
The Womens Auxiliary Of tim
Broome County Post was organized last
week, with 1873 names on the apptica-
ton for a charter-the largest num-
Der thus far received. This is the post
which claims State Commander Blakes-
lee as one of its members, and is one
of the most active posts upstate.
The General Lafayette Post made up
OF members of the Police Department.
and the largest post in New York
County, has recognized the value of a
w"omen's auxiliary, and an application
Tor charter IS now awaiting the
approval of Chairman Buxton.
Throughout the State auxiliary mem
bers are being modified now to assist
IN the preparation Of the bonus appli-
cations, especially those who can oper-
ate typewriters. These applications
will in all probability be ready for
distribution after the Court of Appeals
renders decision, which will be after

The Women's Auxiliary of the Jud-
son Galloway Post, of Newburgh, holds
the distinction of adopting the first
hospital ward by Correspondence.
Ward No. 30 of Fox Hills Hospital
has been assigned to this auxiliary.
1t has thirty-fve veterans, who are
under observation, and the women of
Newburgh will see that they want for
nothing to add to their comfort.
The state caucus probably will be
held in September and prior to the
national convention of auxiliaries,
which may take place at Kansas City,
Mo-, the same time as the national con-
vention is held.
Miss Sawyer is awaiting official
notice from national Headquarters
regarding the national caucus before
submitting recommendations to the
state executive committee on the New
York State caucus, at which time spe-
cial effort will be made to double the
auxiliary membership in the Empire
State, so that New York NAV lead the

Training Camp Endorsed
BY National Commander
Emery Urges All Legionnaires
TO Assist War Department
in This Work

National Commander John G. Emery
Of the Legion strongly urges all Legion
naires to assist the War Department in
furthering the military camps for citi-
zens to be held in all corps areas
throughout the United States Com
mander Emery is graduate of one of
the officers training camps which fol
lowed the citizens camps at Platts-
burg. Upon his being commissioned he
was sent to the LIST Division in France
and was seriously wounded while fight
ing with that organization.
In indorsing the citizens camps
which include the Plattsburg camp for
the I'd Corps Area Commander Emery
AS a primary course in the elemen-
tails of good citizenship it would be
difficult to improve on the War De-
partment training camps. The man
who goes to one of these camps will
come back in better health, in better
spirits, and will find himself better
fitted to share his responsibilities as
citizen.
"These are training camps-training
camps first of all for a better citizen
ship. The lessons of promptness, disci-
pine, self-respect and respect for con-
stituted authority are lessons we all
should learn and from time to time
review. They are the basis of good
citizenship.
THE lessons of these camps are
potential protection to the institution
of government under which this coun-
try has grown great While it is not
necessary for the United States to sus-
tain an enormous army force in time
of peace, it is the individual obliea-
ton of every citizen to be prepared to
defend his country in time of need.
am glad to add my Endorsement to
these camps to that expressed by so
many real Americans, beginning with
the late Theodore Roosevelt"

Who File False Claims
National Adjutant Bolles An
nounces Campaign to Block
Misuse of Benefits

INDIANAPOLIS. July 9,-National
headquarters of the American Legion
has taken steps to prevent misuse of
government benefits for ex-service
men. according to statement made
to-day by Lemuel Bodies, national
sI;utart.
at has been brought to our attention
that few men have deliberately falsi-
fed claims for compensation, vocational
training and medical treatment" said
Mr.. Bolles. considering the large
number of wounded veterans who are
entitled to every benefit the govern
ment can give, the number of i'm
posters is not large. But, few as they
are, their action works a hardship on
the disabled.
"Cases of deception have been more
numerous lately, due to the rush of
claims. following the Legion's fight for
government efficiency. However, the
Legion will find time and means to ex-
pose any imposters who come to US
for assistance in pressing their claims"
All Legion posts have been instructed
to furnish government bureaus with in
formation they obtain about men con-
corning whoe disability any doubt ex-
lists. The post activities in favor of
the genuinely disabled will continue.
