+. W. Galbraith. Jr.. national com
mander. in recent speech in Gin
cinnati. at IA dinner attended 10y Lee
gionnalres and business men.
Mr.. Galbraith cited the disabled

"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 organza-
tons and outlined the position Of the
Legion as follows;
The time has come when line
must be drawn between loyal and dis
LOYAL Americans. We do not claim to
have 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, IL II ever raises Its
head, that we already have fought ard
licked"
Mr. Galbraith also spoke OF the de-
sire Of the Legion to unite with the
veterans associations of the allies. In
order TO promote international amlty.
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.
II we were II would he sorry day for

WHAT GOOD HIGHWAYS MEAN
ont Crops to Market at Least
Possible Expense.

Farmers are business men and In
order to conduct their farms In
businesslike way and cope with other
business men in the state they must
devise ways and means Of reducing
the expenses OF operation" said L. Il.
Birdsall In submitting a resolution to
the Illinois Agricultural association.
He added: "In no way can the ex-,
pense OF farming be reduced as com
pletely as by securing good roads run
ming by the farms which will enable
the delivery of crops 10 market with,
the least possible expense"
That Is good sound sense and com
ing from practical farmer II shows
that farmers are keenly alive to the
need and value OF improved 70, DIS.
Mr. BirdsalJ lays further emphasis on
the need of selecting the most COM
netent men for highway officials so
that the hest talent may he available

GOOD
BUILDING OF BETTER ROADS
Highway Educational Work Extending
Its Scope In Various Sections Of
the Country.

The extent to which the people OF
The United States are committing
themselves to definite policy of high
way development is shown by reports
reaching the federal highway council
from all sections OF the country.
In the face Of high cost for both ma
terlals and labor, and the fact that in
some states construction programs
must be altered somewhat to meet ex-
listing labor and material conditions,
there Is no tendency upon the part of
the people to slow down In their plans
to place tie nations highways upon
higher plane In the country's transpor-
tation system. Tersely stated, they
are sold to the heels" on the PROPOSE
tion to construct highways that will
release rather than restrict traffic, and
they are dsmissing labor and material
problems with curt Instructions 10
their official servants that II Is up to
them 10 deliver the roads.
A curious fact In connection with
construction problems at the present
moment is that the building of roads Is
seriously hindered by the same evil
which they are designed 10 remove
