LEGION Will DECORATE
! ALL SOLDIERS GRAVES
Posts in Every Community to
Take Charge Of Memorial
~, Day, Ceremonies

Indianapolis, March ~ UNITED
Press -GtsVes Of American soldiers
sailors and marines, who died in the
World War: will be visited on Mem
orial Day by comrades in the Ameri-
can Legion both at home and abroad
according to plans announced today
at Legion national headquarters.
>. Legion posts in every community
in America will take charge of Me-
mortal: day ceremonies and decorate
the graves Of all veterans. While
thousands of communities through
out this country are honoring the
soldier dead in their midst, the dist
ant graves in France, England, Italy
and Russia will not be neglected. For
the last two years it has been the
custom Of Legion national hesdGuar-
ters to collect a fund from the H.
900. posts for this purpose. Commit
tees are established to take care OF
this fund in France and England,
composed largely Of Legion men
acting in conjunction with similar
bodies of officials and citizens Of
the various foreign countries. Posts
lin all European countries, cooper.
ating with these committees, will
see that the grave Of every Ameri-
can who persisted overseas is approp'
|riately decorated. :.
To- prevent confusion and dupli-
cation of effort in decorating graves
in this country on, Memorial Day,
the Legion has asked all posts to Or
ganize central graves registration
bureau in every county for the pnr'
pose Of properly recording graves
Of veterans of all wars and assign.
ing such graves to the individual
posts for proper decoration
7 National headquarters suggests
that the following information be
obtained in regard to each veteran
buried in home cemeteries: Name.
organization, dates / of enlistment
and death, rank, discharge and place
Of burial, giving exact location by
lot and number. Definite information
in regard to the, last resting place
of all veterans obtained by the Le-
gion's Graves Registration Bureau
will prove invaluable in later years,
Legion officials believe.

y Washington, March 81 Omitted
Press. )-Penrose, the last Of the big
Bosses, is no more, and his passing
has a sequel in this year of politics
in Pennsylvania.
= "The king is dead; who will BE-
king?" is the way they say 1t IN
Pennsylvania. There may never be
another Quay or Penrose, but new
leaders there will be, and among
them there will be keen rivalry for
the greatest measure of power and
prominence one man can compass.
It is necessary to keep this in mind
when discussing this years senator
ial campaigns in Pennsylvania. Fer
the two United States senatorships to
be bestowed next November by the
voters are already figuring in one
of those political chess games with
which the Keystone States political
annals are filled.

MORATORIUM PROPOSALS
(By United Press)

Berlin, March 27.-Germany can
not fulfill the conditions Of the allied
moratorium proposals, government
spokesman maintained today. It was
authoritively denied, however, that
the government had rejected the al
lied reparation commissions demand.
Chancellor Wirth and Minister
Ratheneu will continue the German
policy used so often since the end
Of the war;" negotiate, but never
say no." =
The allied demand includes pay
ment of 75O,o00,000 gold marks in
cash and 1,45O,000,000 in kind dur
ing 1922. Germany undoubtedly will
ask further negotiations and pos
sible attempt to have the matter

BANK TO OFFER PRIZES :. II
IN CALF CLUB CONTEST
Security State Bank Planning
Little International to Be
Held at Fair Here

InrOugn the SecuflCy OtAte 0anh
Calf club there were "a head Of pure
bred female dairy animals introduced
into this locality in June 1921. One
hundred per cent of the boys and
girle who entered this contest ex.
hibited at the fair in Bemidji last
fall. Considering that none Of the
contestants were from homes Of ,ex-
perienced exhibitors, the showing at
the fair was very creditable.
None of the calf club members
wish to sell their calves, which shows
that they are well satisfied and that
all of the pure-breds will become the
foundation animals on the farm,
where their, owners live, for q, hign-
class dairy herd. This, means much
to the livestock interests of Beltrami
county in the battle with the scrub.
In order to be of further service
to the Calf club members of the year
1921, the Security State Bank is now
arranging to conduct q, Little Inter
national at the next Northern Min
nesota Fair in August. Prizes will
be offered by the bank to those
making the greatest score on the for
lowing points: .,.g
Improvement of animal from the
first part of May until fair time,
rs. points; showing condition at the
fair, SO points; showing methods, rs
points; total of 100 points
The Guernsey and Holstein Breed
ers associations will, likely offer
special prizes to the Juniors showing
animals of their respective breeds.
