OUTLINES LEGION ACTIVITY


The Federation has made great
strides in organization. 1t has ex-
pected that wen more will be accom-
pllshed after the convention of dele
gates from the allied countries in New
Orleans in October, just prior to the
Legion national convention.
The Legion has always been first in
the fight to obtain justice for the
disabled of the late war. Surely, it
is a genuine community service for
the Legion to lead the way in demand
ing proper care for those comrades of
ours who came back blind, MANNED
and broken in health and body and
who must live the wal forever in the
homes and hospitals Of our country.
These men gave their best that all
of us might enjoy continued safety
and citizenship in this country Of
ours. Certain organizations and a
few individuals have succeeded in
arousing some interest in behalf of
the disabled veterans but the Amer
lean Legion, backed by the press Of
the country, has not only written,
pushed but actually put through Con
greSS every bit of legislation for the
disabled man.
1t is perfectly safe to say that had
it not been for the Legion, the shame
full neglect and ~disgraceful treatment
Of these men would still exist.
The adjusted compensation legisla-
ton did not originate with the Amer
lean Legion but with Congress.
Legion men were told at their first
convention that national legislators
wanted to know the best way to ad-
just the pay Of the service man. They
said they realized this should be done
but had nearly a hundred bills before
them and wanted the thought Of the
Legion. Then the Legion wrote the
five-fold compensation bill and turned
it over without recommendations.
Then, from thousands Of platforms all
over the country, the men who are
now representing US down in Wash
ington promised these foul million
men that they were going to fulfill an
obligation. They put the entire re-
turned service population In the state
of mind where they feel that they have
been promised something-and now
are in danger Of having the promise
r~epudiated.
Recently the Legion has been bend.
ing all its efforts to put every return
ed service man to work. The Legion
believes this man should have a
chance to ear an honest living and
lead a useful life in the nation he of.
fered his life to save. 1t is the ma,
tons business that this be done.
The Legion has been wonderfully
successful in this effort and feels
that it has accomplished something
that rebounds to the credit of the
whole nation.
The American Legion knows no
class, sect, creed or division except
between the loyal and disloyal and
the constructive and destructive citi
zens. It's members feel sure that nc
greater field for service to the coun.
try exists than through such a med,
ium.

THE ladies of the Home Committee
found in most every farm home a
housewife eager to take part in the
program. And why not? She has
always had to stay home and work or
take care Of the children, while the
head Of the farm listened to lectures
on better methods Of farming or at
tended Institutes and short courses,
when nine times out of ten the busy
housewife was a stronger believer in
closer cooperation and educated meth
DDS than her farmer husband. God
bless the women, and especially the
farmers wife. She has taken the
reins in her own hands, and by her
own efforts will be able to secur the
services offered by the Extension De-
partment of State College. The Elk
tension Service pays the salary of the
Home Demonstration Agent, and the
four counties were asked to raise
$4,000 each to defray the expenses.

DAYS i'm the South

THE boll weevil made it necessary tc
change from cotton TO dairying and live
stock growing. but the eradication of the
cattle tick made the change possible.
said \. J.. James of Darlington, ;. {.
a recent convert to purebred cattle. we
had ticks on our farm, he SAID, and al
that time our II COWS were worth about
5000 for the whole lot. Now we have n
Guernseys, including young stock, and
they are easily worth an average OF S3ot

Soon after the fever ticks were cleaned
out in this Secion of the state, Mr.. james
| bought 4 good COW for $50. and IN II
days she had paid for herself IN addition

taking of of the last tick, but still the
making Of milk il profitable. One factol
that has had much 10 do with it is the

But the best crop of all on the James

is the velvet bean. II is easy to grow 60
bushels of the beans in the pod 10 the
acre on land that will grow 30 bushels of
corn ut the same time. When the corn
has been gathered, the COWS can be pas
tured on the beans and cornstalks during
the fall and winter COyer-crOp rye is
also used for pasture.
The cows on this farm are now MAX
ing up for what cotton does not do. In
1920 MIR. james was getting on well.
but the price of cotton took a drop and
only q good production Of milk kept him
going. The COWS enabled him TO hold
his cotton for better prices without dan
ger Of visit from the sheriff.
Formerly it was the custom on this
farm TO grow 20 acres of cotton to the
pl0w. Now cotton is still grown in spite
of the weeviI, but the acreage has been
cut To five acres to the plOVN Milk is
the important crop now. Besides pro

following communication from Mr. Fitz-
patrick:
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of the 9th
relative to the improvements we are now
making on the upper level at BrattIeboro,
Vt
When We made the plans for this
project, we did not take into conSidera-
ton the paving of the area Immediately
west of the passenger station as at that
time Vernon street was not improved and
we did not know of any plans being made
by the city for the improvement of this
street | now understand that the city
has recently let contract for the paving
of Vernon street and of course. to make
complete lob. it will be necessary for
rs to pave the area Immediately west of
the passenger station.
Il expect to be in Brattleboro next
Monday morning and. if | am successful
in making satisfactory arrangements with
the city for The drainage and with the
contractor for the paving work, we will
go ahead with this project.
Il trust on completion of this work
that there viii be no question as to the
town of BFattIeboro paying the $4,000
they now have on hand 10 the railroad.
