Athletic Officer, George Baird, is
making a strenuous effort to put on
boxing and wrestling exhibition in
the near future.
Rev. FIR Maurice Ackerman of
Catherine, who was an Army Chap
lain during the war and a member of
the Legion Post at Scott City, is
transferring to this Post.
Mr.. J. M. Frank, a Legion man of
this Post, received bonus check of
$4,000 last Friday, from the State
of Ohio. Mr.. Frank was a resident
of Cleveland, Ohio, at the time the
United States entered the war, and
enlisted from there. A number of
states have already paid their ex-
service men. Kansas votes on the
Bonus Bill at the next general cleo
ton in November.
The local Post is putting on
Membership drive at the present
time A committee from the Post
and one from the American Legion
Auxiliary are working together for
members both to the Post and to the
Auxiliary. Quite a number of new
members have been added the last
week. There are a number of old
Legion members who are still back
with their Legion dues for this year.
Please let US have your dues at an
early date so that you may get your
Legion Weekly without interruption.
The first duty of the Legion is to
the disabled service men. The officers
of this Post have taken up with the
Veterans Bureau at Salina, the mat
ter of getting compensation for sew
eral of the boys who are suffering
from disabilities incurred while in
service.
All ex-service men will be inter
ested to know what the Legion is
doing to get the five-fold compensa-
tion bill passed which is now pending
in Congress. Hanford MacNider, ma
tional commander of the American
Legion, telegraphed to President
Harding on February 10Th, urging
that passage of the soldiers bonus
bill be delayed no longer. The tele-
gram reads as follows: 'The Amer
lean Legion, speaking for nearly five
million returned service men and wO-
men and fifteen to twenty millions
more of their immediate families
who do not understand first commit
ment and then retraction, ask that
the passage of the adjusted COM
pensation bill be delayed no longer.
Wherever and whenever the people
of the United States have been given
an opportunity to voice their feelings
on this question, their answer has
been unmistakable. Had capital and
labor been drafted when mems lives
were drafted, the present aggravated
situation would not exist.
''When it was a question of REIN
bursting manufacturers for war con
tracts never fulfilled requiring some
three billion dollars, no such cry was
raised. 1t was an obligation and it
was paid. Here is an obligation no
less just than that to manufacturers,
railroads and the shipping interests
Certainly their service was not so
much more patriotic than that Of

 Well" said MT. Fox to himself as he came at last to the fence beside the barnyard T may as well look the ground over. I'll get the lay of the land, anyhow. But I certainly shall not take my turkey now. It's too soon for that"
 So MT. Fox squirmed through the fence and went shifting about the farm buildings. Somehow he couldn't seem to smell any turkeys anywhere. And that was strange. He could smell pigs, COWS. chickens. He could smell sheep, horses, ducks He could even smell geese. But no turkey
 This is queer" thought MT. Fox. | They must be roasting in the trees Anyhow. I can't look for them any more now It's almost morning"
 When Henrietta Hen went out for her usual stroll right after breakfast she noticed strange tracks in the light snow that covered the ground. The tracks led from the henhouse to the lane and on up the hillside. They were in punches of four In each set of tracks there were the imprints of three feet all in straight line, with the fourth set off bit to one side.
 Henrietta Hen gave a loud cackle and called to old dog Spot He soon came drumming to see what was the matter
 See these queer tracks!" cried Henrietta Hen. How odd they look."
 How they smell!" Spot howled. T wish I'd been here half an hour ago"
 Who made the tracks," Henrietta asked him.
 "A Fox." Spot told her. Its a. pity didn't get up earlier this morn- ing"
 Cant you follow him now?" Hen rietta inquired.
 Old Spot shook his head.
 V haven't had my breakfast," he explained.
 Then go and ask Mrs. Green for it right away. And then you can chase the Fox''
 Again Spot shook his head.
 To tell the truth. old Spot was sometimes lazy. He knew that the fox might be miles away by that

RopoLpH vALENr1No-PALAcE.

One of the strongest stellar vehi- cles for Rodolph Valentino. yet se- lected, is the enthusiastic opinion of the producers regarding The Young Rajah," a new Paramount picture in which that popular star will be seen at the Palace theater Thursday for three days.
 Three other notable features make this picture one of the strongest in which MT. Valentino has yet ,dp- peared, under Paramount auspices. The story is the famous novel, Amos Judd" by J. A. Mitchell, which proved one of the most successful Amefican works of fiction
 The Keith vaudeville bill on the same program will have four head line acts headed by The Four Trav- elers," an excellent singing and com edy quartet.
 Starting Sunday night the Palace will present the distinguished Broad way actor, Guy Bates Post in The Masquerader, taken from the fa.- nous stage play of the same name in which MT. Post starred for several seasons on Broadway. Tonight's bif will feature Thomas Meighan, in The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" and The Seven Glasgow Maids"

WHAT TO EAT"

| Many people are constantly feeling half | SICK, nervous and run down because their | bodies are absorbing he poisons caused by | the putrefaction of food which remains too | long in the body. In many cases this is | due to improper diet too much meat, which I IS practically all absorbed by the body, and too little of vegetables and fruit which
 leave a large residue and so stimulate the
 muscular action of the intestine. The hest | fruits are those which contain the most
 woody fibre skins, seeds and fruit sugar, such as dried figs, raisins, evaporated apri- cots plums and prunes. Other kinds of
 fruit which frequently act chemically to stimulate the muscles are within the reach Of every one, apples pears, oranges, grape fruit and peaches which may be taken raw, baked or stewed. Tn the case of elderly people, however. the fruit should be thor oughly cooked. People of limited means will find evaporated fruit is just as good and much cheaper
 Tn most cases this change Of diet should not be made all at once as too rapid an
 increase in vegetables is apt to dilate a residue. First have the body thoroughly clean by the use of a good laxative like Lentbol Litate which contains medical in- gradients which gently stimulate the liver and then tone up the action of the intes- tinal muscles that they will be able 10 work mechanically and naturally on the larger quantity of residue caused by fruit and vegetable diet.
 If you have sick headaches had breath. sallow ar rimpy skin give Nature a chance by eliminating rutrefactian from your sys- tenn Get rid of The toxic poisons that in iure your health and sap your mental and physical power.

 You're not. oh ?" he retorted. Then he put his face close to mine, and said significantly. You think I'm speaking wildly and without founda- tion. Listen to this if you please"
 Swiftly. dramatically, he told me the whole story of Smiths sojourn in our vicinity of his attempt upon my life. with Tom Chester's interference, of his flight, and named his where abouts in Canada. He omitted only my trailing of Smith. and from that I deduced that he must have gained his information from Smith himself. or from some one near to him. And then he fairly raised the hair on my scalp with the added remark.

 A Kindly Apology
 After all-or was it my vanity speaking ?-his voice and manner had been undoubtedly sincere. and like most other men recreant to their mar riage vows. Harry Underwood no doubt cherished the conviction that if he only had married the right wom- an he could have been the subject of any one of the time worn similes con- corning truth.
 Please forgive me for laughing" said softly. "I-I-really didn't mean to but-someway--"
 'The idea of me as a magnet-and- pole proposition sort of upset you?" 3 MT Underwood queried with reluct- ant grin. Well I'll admit it is a bit ludicrous. considering my record. But don't you ever forget, Lady Fair, that with you---oh, what's the use [" He broke of disgustedly, and then he hastened to add:
 You'd stand by and see me boiled in oil if if would save the Dicky-bird from the pain of having a feather or two pulled out. I might as we'll cut out the maple -syrup-and- -honey talk though it's the sincerest ever spieled and get down to cases"
 His voice deepened strangely with the last words, and his whole man ner changed. He was neither the devil -may-care -do-well, nor the sentimental pretty speechmaker when he spoke again, but the sombre man of mystery of whom l had had a glimpse or two before.
