three counties competed in 1921, the
first year that the contest was held.

open to any county that has organic
ed junior agricultural club work.
Agricultural agents in number of
counties already have held contests

the community contests will meet in
a county contest, the winning team

resent the county at the fair. Inter-
ested persons and firms in several
counties already have posted as

prize money for the contest in their
district Each team in the state con-
test will be composed of three boys
or girls between the ages of 12 and
IS years.

testant will be required to place
eight rings of livestock of four ami
mails each including two rings each
of beef cattle, dairy cattle, breeding
hogs and mutton sheep. Each mem
ber- also will be required to give the

Because the mayor of Summer,
Wash, could give no legitimate rea-
son why the Summer American Le-
gion should not give a dance on the
main street of the city, after he had
strictly forbidden such frivolity, le-
gionnnaires obtained court writ re-
straining the mayor from interfering
with the celebration. Citizens of
the community and visitors from
many nearby towns danced up and
down Main street in response to the
legion's invitation which read:
Dance with the Lewis-Guill Post,
No. So, of the American Legion, by
order of the court"

Donald F. Chase, 21 years old, recent
ly passed through middle western
cities en- route on bicycle from Re
no, Nevada, to Syracuse, New York.
Young Chase's family lives at SYRIA
cuse and as a vacation from his du-
ties as city editor of the Nevada
State Journal the energetic lad de-
cided he would ride through and see
his mother. The Reno American Le-
gion saw a chance to do some worth
while advertising. So arrangements
were made whereby Chase should
speak before 11O legion posts on his
way across the continent. At first,
he spoke only of what the Reno
posts of the legions and the Nevada
state department are doing, but later
he found that he could be of greater
service by telling each post of all
the good things that other posts
along his route are doing. The young
gatling gun which he carried with
him saw service when an automobile
driver ran into his bicycle near To
peka, Kan. and then refused to stop
to see what damage had been done.
Chase put bullet in tire and then
made the driver haul him and his
bike to town. "One doesn't realize
Just what the American Legion is do
ing until he visits legion posts and
sees the efforts of these posts to i'm
prove their communities" he said.

Next Dose You Take may Sail

Calomel is mercury; quicksilver.
1t crashes into sour bile like dyn

YOU. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti.
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and fithout max
ing you sick you just go back and get
your money.
Don't take calomel! 1t can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or a
wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you right up and makes you
feel fine. No salts necessary. Give it to
the children because it is perfectly
harmless and can not salivate.

erect in Washington statue in
bronze of the late Edward Doug

day by Representative Hogan,

'It's highly fitting and proper"
Mr.. Hogan said, ''that a
statue of the late Chief Justice
Edward Douglas White be erec-
ted in the city of Washington. A
country grateful to his memory
should not wait half a century to
commemorate the fact that with
the single exception of John
Marshall, he was the greatest of
those who have headed the su-
preme court of the United Sta
tes."

the committee for consideration.
Locally the Fourth Degree As
named in his memory, is
endeavoring to appropriately
mark the place of his nativity, in
