Not Approved by Legion

The so-called "Ex!Service Men 's
Bonus League of America,'' is not
approved by the Legion. It's State
Manager, H. w. Kellerman of Alex.
andria, asked for this approval and
offered approximately $500 pei

sonally or the Minnesota Legion Trea.
sury, for such official approval, but as
Manager Kellerman showed that O.
the 81 collected from citizens who
join this league, 25c goes to the solici'
ting agent, 15c to the county agent
SOC to the state travelling agent, &c
to Manager Kellerman, and 26c for
badges, cards, etc., leaving no part of
the ST. membership fee' for pro.
noting adjusted Compensation, the
Legion failed to see the proposition
as anything but another attempt to
goldbrick the service men and the pub
lie, and refused to approve the scheme,
declaring that the American Legion
while giving freely Of its time and
energy without pay to the adjusted
compensation cause, has not and never
will brand it's service to its comrades
with the dollar sign. Any misrepre
sentation of the Legion's attitude by
this organization will be vigorously
dealt with if reported to Legion State
Headquarters, St. Paul. Its soliciting
agents usually accost passing citizens
on the street and ask them to sign a
pledge favoring the "bonus' and then
collect ST for bonus badge.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

An inch Or SO of sand over !, the
root crops stored ii the, cellar will
keep them from drying out.
Rose bushes may be laid down after
the ground is frozen hard Cover with
straw and boards in such a way that
no moisture gets on the foliage. ~.
It is worth while to save a few bun.
dies of grain to put up in the yard for
the birds to work on during the winter.
They also like suet. o.
Don't cover perennials too deep.
They should not be smothered with
straw-just enough to hold the snow
nicely and prevent freezing and thaw-
ing Of the soil and plants. -,
Fruit plants may be made good use
Of as ornamentals. There are few
prcttier trees than the apple, plum,
or cherry in bloom or in fruit. Hedg-
es may be made Of currents or goose
berries.
Be careful where and of whom nur-
sery stock is purchased. The gaudy
catalog and fluent talking agents are
apt to give the poorest Of trees. Pur-
chase from nurseries near at hand if
they have good reputation.
Hundreds of those who purchased ap-
Piles by the barrel are often disappoint-
ed at this time of year by the inferior
fruit mixed with the good fruit in a
barrel for which good price is paid.
Chrysanthemums are at their best
now. The big flower festival at the

CANCER IS A CURABI:E DISEASE

Most people consider cancer an in
durable disease. This is due in all
probability to the fact that until re-
Gently no attempt has been made to
inform the public regarding the known
facts pertaining to this disease, and
that most people know only of the
fatal results Of treatment instituted in
cases Of cancer, when there no longer
was hope for cure.
The Increasing death rate from can
Ger makes it necessary that an educa-
tional campaign about cancer be con-
Quoted, in order that the people may
become familiar with the early signs
and SYMPTOMS of cancer and avail them
selves of early treatment while the
growth is still durable.
The American Society for the Con-
troll of Cancer was organized in 1913
for the purpose of obtaining facts
about cancer and disseminating the
knowledge. In November Of 1921 this
Society conducted it's first National
Educational Campaign, and it has des-
ignated the week of November 18th to
18th Of this year as National Cancer
Week. During this time an intensive
broadcasting Of information regarding
portant that every one avail himself OF
the opportunity Of learning as much
about this disease as possible.
Cancer is one of the great plaques.

japanese RickshaW Men.

Although the motorcar is now COM
mon in Japan, many Of the more con-
servative Japanese retain their "sta-
bles" Of human horses and ornate car
riages. Rickshaw men in private en,-
ployment often wear handsome uni.
forms, on which the crest of the
emperor IS embroidered. They have
wonderful speed and endurance. Ten
miles an hour is not an uncommon
pace, and two men, alternately tak'
Ing the post of leader and wheeler,
will keep it up for so or 60 miles.
Still, it is pace that kills, and it
used to be said that the life Of a
rickshaw coolie did not exceed ten
years after he took to the road.

Take Time to Relax.

Learn to call it day. Don't peddle
the little worries, discouragements and
annoyances that crop up in the office
around with you. Forget them. Shake
off the inclination to sink into the
slough Of despond at the end Of a
ragged day. Everything will look DIFF
ferent IN the morning If you let 60 and
take fresh hold. Give job fair
trial before you give it up. The first
day, the first week, or the first month
Is the hardest. See to it that you do
not make the same mistake twice and
your blunders will put you ahead. The
discouragements you meet in your
work make very little difference.
What really counts is how you take
them.-Elizabeth Arnold in Detroit

WAS ONCE BED Of THE OCEAN
But Vast Tract Of Land In Central
Oregon Has Been Dry for Thous-
ands Of Centuries.

Scientific societies are beginning to-
pay great dealAof attention to centraf
Oregon's great ocean bed, dry now for
many thousands of years. During the
past year fully a dozen expeditions
visited the huge inland sea that ex-
tended over hundreds of square miles
on the upper reaches of the Crooked
river. -
Just to stand In the dry bed Of the
sea or at points where the waves once
washed the shore and where the marks
Of the tide are plain is unique ex-
perience. It's an astounding country,
every rock seemingly hiding fossil evil
dence Of some nature, for at random
any ordinary looking outcrop or boul-
der will reveal CLAIMS, oysters, boring
shellf1sh or seaweed impressions. Your
head reels as you try to think back
centuries and tens Of hundreds Of
centuries before, and see this vast ex-
panse of sand, sagebrush and rocks as
turbulent tropical ocean, palm trees
dotting the banks and weird animals
roaming the dense brush or haunting
the breakers as they bore food from
the great ocean.
Palm frond imprints twelve and
more feet in length can be found in
the rocks, fossil remains Of the first
horse, he that had three toes animals
too strange to re-create-it's a rich
country for the student, and now they
are trying to prove that it is a great
filling station, for Oil drilling derricks
begin to make their appearances on
the horizon.
In any event here is country that
was fecund with life even before the
human race was evolved. Inside one
round seaworn boulder lay a perfect
oyster and inside the oyster the re-
mains Of pearl, crushed fiat by the
pressure. Along the Shiny shores Of
this sea the life must have been q
short one and crowded, for the coun-
try is honeycombed with evidence, all
of low life origin-clam shells yard
across, great snails, other shells shaped
like nothing we see this day, marine
monsters not we'll organized enough to
60 out for themselves, but doomed to
rest on still shore until petrified and
then to prove their age to discoverers
thousands of years later.
