AMERICAN \LEGION)

A proposal that the American Le- zion be given the sacred trust of car lng for graves of Confederate vet erans in the south has been made to General Julian S. Carr, Durham, N. C., commander of the United Con federate Veterans. National head quarters of the Legion, sponsoring the move, has also made the same re- quest of the Grand Army of the Re- public.
 "We see your ranks growing very thin, and while there are few of you yet with the living, the Legion has an ambition to prove it's fidelity to you all by accepting as a sacred trust the privilege of caring for and decorating all of the graves of America's heroic dead, who fought on both sides of that struggle resulting in the re- birth of our nation," the Legion's re- quest reads.
 The Legion asks that it be allow ed to assume it's trust on the coming Memorial Day, and adds: "An ex- change of our flags over the graves of your and our dead and a similar decoration for each and all through out America will be binding and in- disputable evidence of the unity of our country forever"
 An ex-soldier, living in Mississippi, becoming the father of triplets, all girls, asked the American Legion to suggest names for them. On his assertion that he was a "good hand at poker" and therefore willing to take a chance on your pick" it was suggested that the three queens" be named Annie, Maude and Kate. One half of the A. F. F. in France drank glass of beer in a Coblenz cafe about a month ago, American Legion men have informed their back home buddies. The other half, who stayed back in Paris, was quarter master corps sergeant. The A. E. F. 7oon will be reduced to just one of the pair.
 While a forest fire was sweeping down upon sick and wounded ex- soldiers confined in Lakewood, N. J., hospital, American Legion men rescued their invalid comrades and parked them in an open field. Then they saved the hospital from destruc- ton.

AMBASSADOR
TO ENGLAND
RUMOR THAT SENATOR LODGE
WILL SUCCEED HARVEY.

Washington. April s. From eX-
eellent sources il is learned that
Henry Cabot Lodge, senator from
Massachusetts and majority leader
of the upper house, is scheduled soon
to succeed Col George Harvey as am
bassador to England
Senator Lodges appointment 10
the Court of ST. James will depend
on his chances of reelection this fall.
The Massachusetts senator conscien-
tiously feels that the Washington
conference was the crowning achieve
ment of a long political life spent
in Washington. Naturally, he does
not desire to wreck this long stand
ing of political success by being de-
feated in the primaries of his own
state this summer
The senator's political felucca has
not, of late, had the smooth sailing
of former years in his native state,
due to the activities of political op-
ponents who feel that his Washing
ton billet should have come to a
spectacular finale with the confer
ence. The senator has his hands
on the political pulse at home and,
needless to say, he is plainly worried
over the coming elections.
The republican partly leaders are
in sympathy with Mr.. Lodges pre-
sent predicament. He was worked
tirelessly in the interests of his par
ty for years. He well deserves, they
believe, the post in London as fit
ting recompense to life spent in the
service of his party.
Colonel Harvey's appointment has
not been any too popular with the
rank and file of the republican par
ty. His indiscreet utterances abroad
have brought a lot of unpleasant
newspaper comment upon his head.
Administration leaders would well
come Colonel Harvey's retirement
from his present post in order TO
pave the way for the appointment
of Mr.. Lodge to succeed him.
Furthermore, Mr.. Locge, a scion
of the Cabot aristocracy, would be a
popular adding to the foreign diplo-
matte crops in London.

CORSON PROVES
HEAVY SHIPPER
TO VALUE 81 ,O34, ,579 SENT TO
MARKET FROM COUNTY.

Pierre, April 3.-The state immi-
grafton department is collecting pro-
duction figures for the counties
west of the Missouri, and has secur-
ed the figures on shipments of farm
products from the different towns In
products last year to the amount of
$1,034,579, even at the low prices
which prevailed for that year.
While that section of the state
has long been classed in the cattle
section, and devotes large part of
it's activities along that line as yet,
that they do not all look to range
stock for their prosperity is shown
by the fact that the county sold
cream for the year amounting 10
$1S3.924 in value, to which the but
ter sales, while small in comparison
add materially.
They shipped 3S4 cars of cattle to
market, and also sent 40 cars of
hogs, although they are apparently
not doing as much in the line OF
swine raising as other sections OF
the state are doing.
They sent out lat cars of wheat
and 80 cars of flax, beside smaller
shipments of oats and corn.
While the returns on beef cattle
sold are greater than those from
cream, there is only a difference oi
$32.576 in the receipts. with cream
at $1S3,924, and cattle shipments al
s216,500.
The department will secure figur
es for all the counties ip the third
district, for use in the new distric

USE OF RADIO
AR0usEs DEMOCRATS
POLITICAL FAvORITIsM CHARG-
ED AS INDIANA SENATOR OP-
EMS CAMPAIGN FOR RE-
ELECTION.

Washington, April democratic
senators "hit the ceiling" when they
read in the newspapers how Senator
HI. S. New of Indiana, republican,
seated in a comfortable chair in his
office in Washington, had opened his
campaign for reelection with ra-
dio telephone address to his consti-
tuents 900 miles away.
What particularly aroused them
was the fact that Senator New was
permitted to make use of the special
wave lengths reserved for exclusive
use of the navy in communicating
with ships at sea Senator New was
allowed TO use a wave length OF L.
100 metres, while other individuals
and newspapers are allowed a wave
length not exceeding $50 meters.
Charges. of gross discrimination
and political fayoritism flew thick
and fast. Remembering the close
friendship between President Hard
ing and Senator New, democratic
senators did not hesitate to accuse
the administration of violating its
own rules concerning radio trans
mission in order to further the In
diana senator's campaign for re-elec-
tion.
III the case of Senator New was to
stand as a precedent what would
there be to prevent the administra-
ton from allowing republican sena-
tors and congressman all the wave
lengths they might need to obtain
reelection, while at the same time
compelling democratic members to
stay within the limit prescribed by
the Rules? They saw visions of re-
publican monopoly of the air, of the
ethereal blue electrified with repub
lican campaign speeches while the
democrats were Obliged to shout inn.

b dy Of Baby
Buried In SnOwbank

Lane, April 3.-Recently while
digging a grave at Fairview ceme-
terry north of town, j. p. Larson dis
covered a nude body of newly born
baby. The lower extremities and the
two arms had been eaten off by
some kind of an animal. Mr.. Lar
son states that it had probably been
deposited in snow bank and that 1t
might have been there for two
months. After finding the body he
buried it, with the assistance of OF
to Mees and Ernest Sandstrom, who
were helping him in the digging of
another grave. The coroner was
notified and he reported the case
to the states attorney. No evidence
has been secured which might lead
to the finding of the mother or per-
son leaving the baby In such con-
dition.
