and the National Education aSSocia- tion are cooperating with the Amer icanism commission of the American Legion in making the week a success.
 Announcement proclaiming the Amer ican Education week followed con- ference in Washington between Presi- dent Harding, Commissioner Tigert and Garland w. Pow ell, assistant na- tiOnal director of the Americanism com mission. President Harding announced he would issue an official proclamation, followed by similar ones from gover- nors of the states.
 Commissioner Tigert, through the United States bureau of education, will request state and county superintend- ents of schools to devote the week to the American Legion program, which will start Sunday. December 3. Minis ters of all denominations will be asked to preach sermons morning and eve ming that day on the benefits of educa- tion. Mass meetings will be held throughout the United States, at which speakers will be supplied by the Amer ican Legion.
 Monday will have its special slogan -"Americans All by 1927"-with its drive throughout the country to assist immigrants and aliens to become good Americans, by starting their education in the duties of citizenship. Tuesday will be devoted to patriotism, with such subjects as Universal Use of the Eng fish Language" Music AS Nation Builder" "The Flag, Emblem of Free dom," and "The Citizens Duty to Vote" emphasized. Wednesday, bet ter pay for teachers and better school houses will be featured. Thursday will be devoted particularly to the cure of illiteracy Thursday will be mighty war on Bolshevism, the strengthening of the fight to eradicate radicalism.

 Tt is mighty proud I am to have two sons members of the American Le- zion, and my father a member, and that I am eligible to be a member of the American Legion Auxiliary" Mrs. Winter said. Tt is an organization, the American Legion, that has been found to stand for all that is worth while in our country, and the implaca- ble enemy of all that is bad And we know that 1t always will be so.
 Tt was hard to give up my boys mighty hard. And as every mother does who went through that agony, I pray that never again will mothers have to give up their sons to war The American Legion and the women who make up its auxiliary are building against war every day, all the time. We are educating, Americanizing all against future war and for permanent peace"

MEMS FOR THE MARRIED

An antipodean student of woman In the marriage relation comes to some entertaining though perhaps not en- tirely justified conclusions. Here are a few of them:
 The wise woman knows how to be foolish when her husband wishes to be clever.
 Every woman longs for romance, but most have to be content with huS- bands.
 Selfishness Is a quality in husbands which prevents wives from getting all they want
 The wise man doesn't attempt to un- derstand women; he merely tries to get along with them.
 A woman is only what men have made her. This applies particularly to selfish women.
 The happiness of married couple doesn't depend on their loving each other but on their not loving anyone else.
 Every one knows how wonderful a woman can look, but 1t Is only the husband who knows how wonderful 1t Is that she can look so wonderful Boston Transcript.

 Miss Sines' Auxiliary unit, No. 8 of Logansport, submitted the head dress as the official one to be worn, but frankly confessed that the idea was really born at Columbus, Neb., where that city's American Legion Auxiliary unit presented it, and then Columbus replied that it really was the. idea of some of the women of Louisiana. At any rate, it seemed to be popular idea-made more so, per haps, by the wearer herewith shown. Miss Sines says she likes it, that it's cool and comfortable, and affords a distinctive headdress for the organiza- tion.
 It will be noted that the headdress is fronted with star. A gold star can be substituted for the ordained blue by those who lost loved ones in the service

Foundation for an agricultural ex
pertinent station located in the Rio
Grande Valley was laid prior to the
meeting of the last session Of the leg.
islature. when "A committee from the
Valley went before the State Board Of
Control and asked for such station, TO
meet the uapid agricultural develop
ment Of the Valley. where conditions
were different from all othsr parts of
the country.
A bill asking for an appropriation Of
$4,000 for the station was introduced
whtn the legislature met. and through
the united efforts Of the Valley towns.
this appropriation was made. During the
stormy called sessions when the leg.s-
lature was faced with the problem Of
reducing appropriations, the bill pro-
vidng for the experiment station was
allowed 20 stand. Control OF the new
statton II lodged in the board Of direc-
tors of the A. and VI. College.
The site Of the new station Is
tract Of one hundred acres, locs ted
rorth of and along side Of. the Llano
Grande switch. abou. half way between
Mercedes and Weslaco. OF the one hun
bred acres. ten acres is alrehdy plant
ed to four year old citrus orchard.

tee Of $4,000 to he applied to the pur
chase price Of the land, while the
American Rio Gnande Land and Water
Company has offered free water to the
property as long as il is used as an
experiment station.
Founding Of an agricultural expert
ment station in the Valley will prove
ore Of the best means of assisting the
industries of the Valley, According to
County Agricultural Agent Louis II.
Alsmeyer. who has worked untiringly in
behalf of the station.
The Rio Grandc Valley with its rapid
ly developing citrus industry. and its
pcculiartics Of soil and climate pro-
vides orf Of the most fruitful fields
for research work in agriculture in the
state. The entire agricultural industry
Of the Valley is in an experimental
stage. he states. and the possibilities OF
the country have scarcely beenNtouch
ed.
The new station will do much toward
determining the proper varieties of
crops for Valley planting. in introducing
new crops. and in introduction Of new
method of crop production.
The site az Llano Grande was selected
only after the locating committee. ac-
compaued by soil experts. had made
complete survey Of the Valley. with the
view Of determining which Of the pro-
posed sites would be most representa-.
tive Of the section to be served. and
which would enable the station 10

LEGISLATORS OF THE
PHILIPPINES MAY
WEAR NATIVE DRESS
(By The Associated Press. }

MANILA, Oct. 6.-Restoration of the
colorful native "barong" rs the attire
Of Filipino legislators. Is proposed In a
resolution submitted by Representative
Rafiel Villanueva in the house Of repre-
sentatives. Heretofore native lawmakers
have sported the approved American
dress. but many believe it would bs
more patriotic to return to the orig
inal fashion OF the Philippines.
The "barong" is IA shirt-like gar
ment, with narrow neck-band and
takes the place Of both shirt and coat.
Worn outside the belt Of the trousers. ii
gives Americans the impression that the
wearer had dressed hastily and neglect
ed to tuck his shirt into his trousers.
Representative Villanueva's resolu-
tion. recommending n boycott Of for
cign apparel affects women's dresses as
we'll. and bans all evening gowns made
OF imported materials.
