look back over 1921 with pride in
satisfaction of work wen done. We
have seen the Legion of Minnesota
forge TO the front and take an
honored place among the leading
Legion Departments of the nation.
At Kansas City we united to secure
for the Legion great National
Commander who in few short
weeks has proven himself to the
nation as we of the Great North
west already knew him. During
1921 we have seen grow up around
US a united band of noble patriotic
women whose good work as our
Auxiliary is bringing blessings down
upon our heads. We have much to
be thankful for.
All that we have done, all that
we are, is but the beginning.
During 1922 we must face new
tasks, we must overcome new OBJ
stacles, we must work to build up
still stronger and finer organiza
ton. Our strength lies in our
nearly five hundred Legion posts
and 800 Auxiliary units. That is
where the seed is sown, the good
work done, the real spirit of the
Legion fostered.
More than ten thousand officers
have just been elected to guide
our five hundred Minnesota Legion
posts and three hundred Auxiliary
units during the New Year. They
will do their full share, will give
generously of their time and energy
just as their predecessors have
done, but they can accomplish little
unless each of our $4,000 Mime
sofa Legionaires and $4,000 Aux
iliary members give them hearty
support and unselfish cooperation.
The slogan of the Legion is
Service. Each of US must serve.
Each of us knows where and how
he can serve best. We must go
forward. We will not go back.
So let each of us resolve to do
his full share, to render his full
quota of service to the Legion and
the ideals for which it stands, thus
building up not only Legion of
former service men but a Legion
of men and women who are united
to serve their God, their country,
and those who served Loyalty at
home and abroad when danger
threatened our beloved land.

Sheep Brought to America.

No domesticated sheep were found
in America. The big horn or wild
Rocky mountain sheep were known to
the first settlers, but efforts to domesti-
ticated sheep have proven failures.
The early introductions were made By
the Spanish discoveries and the Eng
lish settlers. Columbus brought Span
ish sheep to America In 1893. In 1865
Spanish sheep were introduced into
Flo ida and in 1773 into California. In
1909 sheep were introduced into Viz
ginia from England.

one dreaded disease that science has

Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur

Fleecy Staple Has
 An Irregular Week
By Associated Press

New York. September 15.-The cot ton market has showed continued IT, regularity during the past week. Va rious features have been commented on by local traders as tending to strengthen confidence in the ultimate value of the staple. This, however, has remained subject to a feeling of uncertainty with reference to the ab- sorption of increasing new crop re- ceipts, and the action of prices has reflected the conflicting influences arising from such views of the situa- ton.
 It is hardly expected that ginning will have reached it's height much before the middle of next month, and traders feel that if the south con- tinues to sell freely, the market will be called on to absorb a good deal of cotton during the next three or four weeks This would seem to have been largely responsible for the ap- parent tendency of offerings to in crease around or above the 22c level, while the bullish view of ultimate values Is said to be have brought in buyers on the Comparatively moder- ate declines. s+s1
 Among the bullish features consid- cred responsible for the talk of hfgn- CT prices later in the season, have been a reduction in private estimates of the crop, reports of an increasing ly active demand for cotton goods in the domestic markets, and expecta- tions of increased exports based on reported offerings of cotton bills in the foreign exchange market and de- creasing stocks of American cotton abroad. The latter lost 65,000 bales at the counted points of England and Europe during the week, and Liver pool cables have reported fair de- mand from Lancashire spinners with a light demand from the continent.
 Advices received here from the south claim that large spot interests have been buying new crop cotton as rapidly as offered. but this has been reflected In hedge selling in the fr- lures markets, which has helped to hold the advances in check. Nervous ness over the European situation was somewhat increased by reports of un- settled political conditions In tho near east toward the end of the week. Mid month condition figures ranged from 49.4 to 53.6, and pri- vate crop indications from 9.s00.9O0 to 10,2S2.o00 bales.

Marked Improvement
 In the Curb Trading
By Associated Press

New York, September 15.-There was marked improvement on the curb trading. There was urgent buying of a number of issues, the most prominent feature being Gulf Oil, which rose to 65s against ,5S0 at the close yesterday. This move ment reflecting the continuation of buying connected with the proposed issue of 12 shares of New York stock for each of the present shares. Many other petroleum stocks were also in increased demand, Standard oil of Indiana moving up from 117A to 11SA and Simms Petroleum leading the trading in the independ- ent oil shares, with a further ad- vance from 101s to 11A; Southern States maintained it's strong tone, selling at '1Sh to 1874. Afs~
 Special interest was attached to trading in some of the high priced sharesl in the industrial group Her cules powder preferred, ex-dividend selling at 100, and Great Western Sugar preferred ex-dividend sold at 105. Durant Motor was in increased demand with trading at AK and 47ss. Schulte stores was exception ally heavy, ranging in the first half of the day from 52 to 40. and Todd Shipbuilding continued its downward movement, selling at 6l to 50.

Everything Is Looking
 Better--Bradstreefs s
Rx Associated Press

New York, September 15.-Brad- streets tomorrow will say: sas
 The better feeling visible in trade and industry as a result of the coal strike settlement has been increased by further improvement in the rail- road traffic situation. while rain and cooler weather In large crop areas have given an impetus to fnl' buying, which is, however, conced- edly late. It Is probable. too. that the apparent approach of the endsof nearly two years of new traiff bill agitation has been beneficial what ever the immediate result as to duties may be. There Is. or course, a great deal of irregularity still visible Fin various lines, but the DIE salient feature, that American industry, is not longer to be starved in the mat ter of fuel supply, has undoubtedly made for a speeding up of industry. which slowed down so oangeropsly in some lines in August. Wholesale and jobbing trade has beer better .at many cities retail trade also had measurably improved; industry, par ticularly in iron and steel and New England cotton manufacturing. has gone ahead with more confidence. demand from strike-ridden regions has again begun to manifest lie. and collections are a shade better

RUMORS OF WAR SENT PRICES OF
 WHEAT HIGHER
By Associated Press

September 16.-War talk prompted higher prices today for wheat. The market closed strong at 1%@2c, with May s1.06ss @s1.06A. Corn fin- ished M@1Ac up and oats M @1%c. In provisions the outcome was un- changed to 27c higher.
 At first wheat traders were in- clined to treat war possibilities lightly as a market factor. Liverpool giving no sign of any disturbance. Later, however. dealers showed a disposition to take more serious view of the situation. especially as to likelihood of an open breach between great European powers. Estimates that 1.000,000 bushels of wheat had been purchased for transatlantic shipment attracted notice in this connection.
 It was further said that 5000, 900 bushels of United States hard winter wheat had been sold to exporters this week and that practically. all Chi- cago-owned wheat at the seaboard or on the lakes had thus been dis posed of.
 Corn and oats sympathized with the wheat advance, besides export- CTS were after corn to a moderate ex- tent. Shorts covered freely both in corn and oats.
 Strength In hogs and grain was re- lected by the provision market. Packers bought lard.
