People Should Know Whether There
Was Deliberate Graft In Affairs
()f N. D. Home Builders Association

strong for the policy of making pur-
chases on "a large scale. and at one
time attempted to make a $4,000, 900
purchase at one shot s4e
This large scale purchasing plan
was largely responsible for the losses
incurred by the association.
1t is unlikely that any definite proof
of Pollard's guilt or innocence viii
ever be produced, and the people OF
North Dakota will be unable to de-
termine whether or not they have
been deliberately victimized in the
manner indicated. {
ADEQUATE, SYSTEM NEEDED.
But tho point is that the pco-
pie have right to demand that
the affairs of concern such as
the Home Builders association
should be conducted in manner
which would make 1t possible to
prove graft II such existed.
This has not been done under the
present organization and apparently
there is no hope of its ever being done
il the present administration remains
in Office.
So II the people Of North Da-
kOta want to know whether or
not they are being. and have been
victimized by deliberate grnft,
they win have to kick the pres
/ ent administration out at the
I coming recall election.

Harmon of Jamestown are candi-
dates for election as state commander
of the American Legion at the annual
convention of that body which opened
here this morning with some 400
delegates present.
Outside Of the contest for COM
nander, the political" interest of the

ton Ct the Headquarters ip their city,

State Commander Landers, in his
annual address. told of the progress
of the Legion during the last year,
saying that 1t had done everything
that its 6nances would permit
He strongly urged that the Legion
as a body had been kept out OF poll
tics, and urged that this policy should
continue. saying that the greatest
good which the Legion could ac-
complish would come through the
close cooperation OF city and coun-
try. 81
The format ton of the womenss aux
iliary Ito the Legion had been OF great
service already, the speaker said, and
should be productive of even greater
results in the future.
Mr.. Landers urged all members of
the Legion to, get behind the drive for
disabled service men to be held in
October. In regard to the problem
clared his conviction that the gov
ernmentj had not Intentionally been
unfair to the service men, but that
external Influences had delayed the
passage Of the measure. .5
In conclusion, the commander de-
ciared that the America n Legion was
at present the greatest service mems

GINNING CONTRACT
 MADE BY ARIZONA
 P|MACOTTONA ASS' N

The Arizona Pimacotton growers have made a ginning contract with the Farmers Ginning company at Six Points, at an "eminently satisfactory" price. to use practically the com panys full capacity on association cotton. it was announced last night
 Negotiations are under way for further contracts, and ginning fa- cilities probably will be arranged at points convenient to members in all parts of the valley within a few days. Announcements will be made as ar- engagements are completed.
 The association has taken the op- ton, embodied in the contract, to take delivery of the cotton in the seed. and the growers in the various parts of the valley will be notified where to deliver their cotton.
 More than 65 per cent of the cotton in the valley is now signed up in the association and other growers are coming in rapidly, so that the asso- ciation expects to handle between 75 and 90 per cent of the cotton this year it was announced.
 Very little picking is being done, and it Is not generally considered ad- visable to pick sooner than neces- sary, but pending the signing of fur l ther gin contracts the association has sent out instructions to members to deliver their seed cotton to the Six Points gin. Southside residents can utilize the new cement roads all the way by using Central avenue to Me- Dowell, and out Mcdowell to the gin

HEAVIEST RAIN IN SEVENTEEN MONTHS
 FALLS IN PHOENIX

Phoenix enjoyed its heaviest rain fall in more than IT months Friday night and early Saturday morning. the guage at the weather bureau re- cording an even half inch of rain. Another storm which broke later Saturday morning added II of an inch to the precipitation in the "A hours.
 The Friday night storm was the heaviest since March 10, 1920. weather department officials said yesterday. On March 10 of last year an even half-inch rainfall was recorded, equalling that of Friday night.
 Rainfall in Phoenix during the past 24 hours. up until 6 o'clock last night totalled .61 of an, inch, g T amount equal to the rainfall recorded here between July 1. 1920, and July l 1921.
 A much heavier fall of rain in the districts surrounding Phoenix wal reported. In some localities the storm assumed the proportions of 2 cloudburst, ranchers said.
Arizona republican., 1921-08-21

The blacksmith shop belonging to Charles Juncker, on North Central avenue, was wrecked. The building was of sheet iron and was literally scattered for two blocks. Other parts of the town reported broken window panes, torn roofs and up- rooted trees. In the last instance, the municipal park was hardest hit. Giant evergreens, poplars and syca- mores were uprooted and the park presents the appearance of forest swept by shell fire.
 Word also was received today from the outlying district. The main sufferer from the wind storm was the Manistee ranch, north of Glendale, owned by Louis Sands. A 55-foot silo, constructed of rein forced concrete, was blown over and torn to bits and a huge hay barn wrecked and scattered over the ranch. l.. B. Spicer, a rancher liv- ing northwest of Glendale on Lateral 20, reported that two silos on his place were demolished by the wind.
 Now that the flood waters have subsided and the work of recon struction has begun, business is rapidly coming back to normal. The people of Glendale still believe in Arizona and in Glendale.
 Baseball
 The Glendale Greys will journey to Mesa Sunday afternoon to battle the Mesa Jewels. This game is ex- pected to be the best of the season. as the score of games stands two to one in favor of Glendale. Manager Hadley has been working the boys out with success this week and stat ed late Saturday afternoon he had secured Buckeye Miller to do the hurling. Miller is a local boy who needs no introduction as to his abil-- ity as a pitcher.
 Reported Better
 The latest report from Carl Rich ards, who was injured during the storm Friday night, is that he is resting as easily as can be expected Upon an examination Saturday by the attending physician, it was | found Richards did not suffer a 1 broken hip, as was reported at first However, serious bruises were sus- l tained.
