TOO MANY MIDDLEMEN

"A Marion county farmer recently sold two cows and a calf for $100 to another farmer who occasionally buys some stock. The second farmer i'm mediately sold the stock to a local buyer for $125. The local buyer di- rectly shipped the stock with our ship ping associations and got $152.64 for the animals.
 "The first purchaser made a profit of $25, the second made $27.64 and the original owner lost $52.64 by the transaction-enough to pay his mem bership in our shipping association for 52 years.
 "There's no fiction in this nara tive. Can you beat it? It illustrates exactly the effect of too many middle men."-County Agent F. c. Graege, Palmyra, Mo.

 Legion members in Lawrence Mass, stood behind eleven veterans, employees of the department of pub lie property and parks, who were dis missed by a newly-elected commis- sioner. The issue raised probably will test the validity of the Massachusetts act giving civil service preference to veterans in the courts. The commis- sioner was forced to apologize for dis paraging remarks about ex-service men.
 Fifty men have agreed to join a proposed aero unit of the Indiana Ma, tional Guard at a meeting of Wabash Ind, post. The elLegionnaires hope to practice with ten airplanes soon. | A new clubhouse, patterned after the style of military barracks ol armory, will be constructed by Homer J. Ball Post at Emporia, Kans. It will cost $10,00O.
 New York ex-service men who have been "bled" by loan sharks will be protected, if a state legislature bill backed by the American Legion is passed. The bill would make it ille- gal for any bonus to be assigned to { other than the soldier himself with the exception of state and local dis. ability funds.
 Unemployed former service men of Seattle, Wash, are lodged in a three story hotel as a result of the activity of members of Seattle Post No. IS, as sisted by prominent citizens. Nearly Sl ,000 has been raised under the guidance of the Legionnaires to float the project. The hotel, which will ac- commodate 250 men, will be open to all veterans for a reasonable time during the shortage of employment regardless of whether they are mem bers of the Legion.

LEGION HEADQUARTERS WARN
 OF GERMAN PROPAGANDA

American Legion posts were asked Sunday by the Legion's national headquarters at Indianapolis to watch for revival of German propaganda A bulletin sent all state headquarters by the national headquarters said that mass meetings in several cities, in- cluding Omaha, have been planned "as one of the first national manifesto tions" of the propaganda campaign the object of which the bulletin out lined as follows
 Disruption of the accord which eX- iSts between the United States and our allies, with particular reference to France and Great Britain, by the turning of American popular senti- ment against the governments of those countries, and methodical ere ation of a powerful national political machine by the almagamatiOn of the disloyal clements of our nation in the elevation to place of power in Amer ican politics by the invisible influence of this organized minority.
 "One of the first national manifes- tations of this activity probably will take the form of mass meetings" !" the bulletin continued, "ostensibly in protest against the occupation of the Rhine by French negro troops. The alleged presence of French colonials is to be used as 9 motive to turn American sentiment against France. Negro troops were withdrawn from the French army of occupation months ago. Their conduct was excellent, ac- cording to official reports from the American ambassador at Paris.
 Identified with this movement are individuals whose disloyalty and whose efforts in the interest of Germany have been notorious in the past and who are now again in direct commun- ication with Berlin.
 National headquarters has receiv- ed reports of pro-German activities from many sections which appear to connect directly with the national pro paganda campaign outlined.
 Department officials are request ed to make note of any activities in their communities and to forward re- port to national headquarters"

bill in the state legislature. It is said that Legion members in other western states will push similar legislation. The sight of prisoners in the state reformatory at Monroe, Wash, in olive drab uniform caused Thomas N. Swale, commander of the American Legion of that state, to register a strong protest. The uniforms, it was said, were used as prison garb on ac- count of their low cost. The practice will probably be discontinued.
 During Argonne days, Bobby" worked hard for the Boches. Today he is mascot of Argonne Post of the American Legion at Galveston, Tex. Bobby" is a German police dog who was taken prisoner by a Galveston he could deliver an order for blowing up the position his captors were oc- cupying.
 His name was Jacob Teinowitz. Now it is Jacob Legion Tenny, be- cause he thought it was a more American name. Tenny, who is ad- jutant and Americanism director of Walter s. Prague Post No. 161 of the American Legion, of Chicago, official ly changed his name to honor the Le- zion and to prove that he was all American. He is lawyer who serv- ed overseas.
 Returning doughboys, weary with the once ever-present canned salmon, have influenced their families to cease eating it, according to letter to the American Legion Weekly, from Se- attle Legionnaire, who states that there are millions of dollars worth of "gold fish" in warehouses along the Pacific coast. The writer calls upon ex-service men to resume eating the sea food to boost an industry"which provides employment for several thousand veterans of the World war"
 The people of the United States are in sympathy with efforts of veterans to obtain the passage of the Fordney bonus bill, according to Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the Legion, who bases his opinion on reports from North Dakota, Oregon, Minnesota, H. linois, and other states. The legisla- lures of the first three states have passed resolutions urging the United States to pass the bill and plebiscite of Legion members in Illinois showed an overwhelming sentiment in its fla vor. In spite of the unemployment situation, which tends to increase the need of veterans for ready money, forty-six per cent of the Illinois Le- zion members preferred some form of compensation other than cash.

TO CARRY SPANISH
TRAIL INTO MEXICO
Texas Will Carry Road TO Brownsville
and Mexican Government
Will Continue Project.

For a long while It has been the
dream to carry the Old Spanish Trail
all around the gulf and down into
Mexico, as well as across the conti-
nent. The heart of ancient Spanish
effort in the New World was Mexico
City. The new tourist land for the
American people is Mexico. The Old
Spanish Trail as a great highway
around the gulf from Tampa to Tam
pico and Mexico City, and from st,
Augustine in Florida to San Diego
and Los Angeles in California, means
tourist-way without a peer in the
world. No great highway will equal
it for all-tie-year traffic.
1t is now announced the Texas part
OF this project Is organized for paved
road from San Antonio to Brownsville,
500 miles, and that President Obre-
gon himself and his government are
cooperating to route the road TO be
built in Mexico. Houston win be con-
nected into this Mexican extension
and paralleling the gulf as soon as
that work can be financed.

POMP DISPLAYED AT
EX-RULER'S FUNERAL
coblenz Newspaper Describes Obse-
quies of Bavarian King as Mon
archist Demonstration.

COBLENZ, Dec 10.-The funeral Of
the former king Of Bavaria in Munich
was referred 10 as a monarchist dem
onstration by the Rhenish Rundschau,
a democratic newspaper published in
Coblenz. The article, headed. THE
hopes of the monarehists," says the
pomp and luxury displayed at the OBJ
sequies of the late king surpassed all
arrangements Of a similar affair, even
during the best days OF Germany's
monarchies.
Recalling pre-war sabre-rattling days
in Prussia, the writer asserts that:
The pomp was less devoted to the
deceased king than to the deceased
idea of the kingdom. The monarchists
Of the German states placed common
human sympathy for dead king
within the service Of their party idea
which aims at the restoration of a
monarchy in Germany.
AT a moment when millions of Ger
mans have not enough to eat, dis
play of luxury was INDUCED in at BIu-
mich which can hardly be described
The entire management of the obse-
quies was SO brilliant that the official
members of the republican Bavarian
government were the dummies at this
monarchist demonstration.
Whoever was not aware of the
character Of the entire demonstration,
realized it's monarchist tendencies by
the proclamation OF Prince Rupprecht,
the former crown prince of Bavaria.
The ex-crown prince is not satisfied
with the state of affairs in Germany
But no one will blame him for that-as
all his hopes have been frustrated.
Rupprecht showed courage in
'kin's speech to ALL wherein he main
tanned that he succeeded to the rights
of his father, thereby meaning his
claim to the Bavarian throne. Of
course, he has forgotten that twice in
three years he has renowned all his
rights as successor to the throne.
1T is the duty of all members of
the government in state and nation to
protest against Rupprecht's attempt to
incite the Bavarian people against the
other federal states. If today a Bava-
rian pretender to the crown presumes
to agitate against the fundamental
basis of the nation, he is our enemy,
for it is wen known in Bavaria that

FINDS IT DIFFICULT
TO TAKE HER LESSON
Alice Calhoun, Expert Equestrienne
Taught to Ride in Film.

Alice Calhoun, who viii be seen at
the Comique theatre today and tonight
in 1.-THE Charming Deceiver," is an
expert lorsewoman. From early child
hood she has been much at home on
the back Of her favorite steed. In THE
Charming Deceiver" she is expected
to be ignorant of horseback riding and
is forced to tatke lesson from her
leading man, a role portrayed by Rolin
8ottomly Mr.. Bottomly is fair
horseman, but according to Miss Cali
houn. a very poor teacher. He would
commence the instruction during the
rehearsal of the scene, but before he
had said two words Miss Calhoun was
correcting him and instructing the
youth in points of horsemanship.
George L. Sargent. director was
forced to interfere several time owing
to the fact that Miss Calhoun rode too
expertly.
II simply can't pretend that I don't
know how to ride" said the little star
at last. II have ridden all my life, and
in spite of myself I am bound to do
he right thing. Can't you rewrite the
script and have me an expert horse
woman, teaching Richard Walling, the
country gentleman, how to rider"

serious drama and we are expected
to act natural am afraid you win
have to forget how to ride and allow
Mr.. Bottomly to teach you the art
After considerable rehearsing and
the giving of numerous pointers to
Rollin Bottomly by Miss Calhoun, the
star gave fair portrayal of young
woman who did not know how to ride.
But when the camera started to click
and the scene was being filmed Miss
Calhoun proved that she was a real
actress and carried away bonors in
portraying the young girl who could
not ride but was willing to learn.
