AMERICAN LEGION
WEEKLY letter

The sAmericah Legion Auxiliary is
of primary Importance to the Ameri-
can Legion's plans for civic and patri-
otic legislation because women now
have the ballot, DR.. Kate Waller Bar
rett, president of the Auxiliary, told
forty-five state adjutant of the Le-
gion at the opening session of their
recent conference there " ~.
"Old line politicians have found that
they must deal with women these days
and it is not the most pleasant news
in the world for them. Women are
especially interested in those board
measures which are designed to work
toward the betterment of the social
state of humanity. The Legion can rely
on the Auxiliary to the limit fer the
furtheranee of these purposes"
DR.. Barrett state that she was for
adjusted compensation for ex-service
men "first, last and all the time"
Service to veterans, cooperation with
other organizations in civic and worthy
enterprises and effective propaganda
were named by Claude A. Brown Of
Little Rock, adjutant of the Arkansas
department, as the "best tools" In an
address on "How to Sell the Ameri-
can Legion to the Public" Mr.. Brown
said that publicity is the T. N. T. of
the American Legion and urged that
the Legion posts establish closer re-
lations with the newspapers of their
communities. The speaker praised the
American Legion Speakers Bureau as
an effective medium to bring the Le-
gion's message to the public.
Father William P. O'Connor, Legion
national chaplain, recommended con-
centrated effort to enroll every chap
lain in the Legion, stating that the
great influence welded by the clergy
would result in a great increase in Le-
gion membership.
"The small community is the back
bone of the Legion" Perry Faulme
commander of the Indiana department,
stated in an address of welcome to the
visiting adjutants. He urged that ev-
cry ex-service man. be enrolled in the
various communities and stated that
the Legion state adjutants were the
persons who did the real work for the
Legion.
A visit to national headquarters of
the Legion and a dinner and theater
party held by the indianapolis Cham
ber of Commerce completed the pro-
gram for the adjutants for the first
day of the conference

IN FAVOR OF

Dublin Gives Seven to One
Lead For Pro-treaty
Candidates.

Dublin. June 20!-(By the Associ-
ated Press. .)-Forty-four coalition
pro-treaty members and twenty-five
coalition Republicans have been elect
ed to the Irish parliament from con-
tested and uncontested constituent
cies, according to returns so far re-
ceived. The returns show that 72,-
2s5 electors in the city of Dublin vot-
ed for panel and independent candi-
oates favorable to the treaty. and 1O,-
$50 for the Republican panel nom,
inees. ]
The feature of the parliamentary
elections on the basis of the results
tnus far known, is the preponderance
OF the vote in favor of candidates fa-
voring the Anglo-Irish treaty.
AN analysis Of the. voting, made
possible by the proportional repre-
sentation system, shows a ma jority Of
seven to one in favor Of the treaty
in Dublin city, four to one in Cork
city and three to one in the Dublin
university. The second preferences
OF the labor votes ip Cork city were in
proportion of more than 10 to 1 in
favor Of the treaty.
The members definitely elected in
clude 81 treaty advocates. Fl opposed
to the treaty, five labor candidates
and one independent.
For these results and for the out
! conse of the army meeting in the
Mansion House. Eamon De Valera is
supposed to be waiting. to decide
what he shall put into his promised
statement. Rory O'Connpr. leader OF
dissentients, is understood to have

Many rumors are current in con-
nection with O'Cpnnor's step. in
cluding gossip of an impending split
in the army. Meanwhile the truce be-
tween the factions headed by Michael
Collins and Mr.. De Valera seems uni
versally regarded as dead. although it

To FIGHT FROST
Every Effort will be Made

Special to The journal

Las Cruces, n, NJ, Nov. l9.--Or-
chardists in the Mesilla valley are
making arrangements TO put up a
stiff fight against Jack Frost next
spring in the event he comes again
to damage the fruit crops. The
farmers armor is to be smudgo
pots of the lard-pail type.
C. z. Locke of Mesilla, writing in
Organized Farming. official jour
nal of the Dona Ana County Farm
bureau, says that the requirements
of all the growers will he combin-
ed into one cooperative order.
Fuel oil for the smudge pots will
be bought in tank car lots and dis
tributed among the growers at
cost. This means the building OF
wood and iron tanks and concrete
cisterns for oil storage.
Prof. Fabian Garcia, director Of
the experiment station at the New
Mexico College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts, says that several
types of smudgers were used with
success at the state horticultural
farm last spring.

to save from the late frost" Pro.

School children these days are
talking Christmas" and are plan

Bows will sew and cut too, hut
the girls will make most of the
stitches, especially the hard ones.
After hundreds Of dolls have been
dressed. they will be taken to a
down town store and there many
will be auctioned.
Those not thus sold. will be sent
to poor children over the city
who would not otherwise have re-
c-ived n doll OF any kind, much less
neatly dressed one. Then, every
child in the Associated Charities
dav nursery will be given n doll.
The money from the doll sale
wi be spent to buy food for the
poor children who are taken care

underfed babies who. are taken

TODAY'S BEST GrIHOUGMT

PROVINCIALISM.

If the present trend of events con-
tinues, there will soon be no provincial
ism left in the United States. Isolation
is what makes people provincial, and
isolation is rapidly becoming a thing of
the past.
The telephone was the first medium to
connect far-lying districts with the life
of the cities. The automobile next fur
nished means of rapid and convenient
transit. Now the city has been brought
to the small town by means of the radio
When Prairie Depot, Ohio, can listen in
on concerts as far east as Newark, as
far south as Atlanta, and as far west
as Kansas City-just as, in the recent
election, Albuquerque received returns
from Los Angees,-then that town par.
takes in a measure OF the characteristics
of the cities. They have something in
common.
The great national roads form another
-provincializing element. A sparsely
settled district, however far it may be
from the larger centers, cannot grow
aself-centered and peculiar when cars
from ten different states pass through
town every day.
In fact, the danger lies in the opposite
direction Towns tend to grow rather
too much alike. Without labels it is diff
ficult for stranger within a diameter of
500 miles to be able to distinguish one
town from another and most Main
Streets look alike. Town spirit is also
becoming more difficult to foster. Com
munication and easy travel have brought
this about. There may come time when
the people of this country will have ex-
tended their travels around the globe SO
widely that they will not appear even as
distinctly American.

K. j. PROFESS0
Spraying Them With a So
luton of Iron SuIphate
Will Eradicate the Pests,
BotaniSt Claims

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 19.-Dan-
delions may now be removed from
lawns by spraying them with a SOL
ution OF iron sulphate. This dis.
covery was made by Prof A. J.
Mix Of the department Of botany
at the University of Kansas. fol-
lowing exhaustive experiments in
an endeavor to find solution for
eradication of the plant pests.
The spraying is done three times
in the spring at intervals of three
weeks. beginning in April before
the first clossoming period and
again in the fall. according to
Professor Mix. The lawn. he says
should never be sprayed durine
July and August because the
chemical and dry weather may
combine to injure the grass.
The dandelion spraying solution
the professor announces. consists
OF one and one-half pounds of iror
sulphute to one gallon of water
and may be applied with any kind
Of hand spray.
In doing this two things must
be guarded against" Professor
Mix declared. "The solution des
troys other weeds and white clover
as we'll as dandelions. Therefore
the method Is adapted only tc
bluegrass lawns or to lawns where
the temporary loss of white clover
will do no harm"
A screen Of lath and muslir
should be used when spraying near
walks and buildings to protec
item from the stain which the sol
ution produces, the professor point
ed out.
