SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-Zero
hour for the fifth annual convention
Of the American Legion came at 9
a. m. this morning.
With 900 delegates filing the pit of
the civic auditorium. thousands of WIS.,
iting legionnaires massed in the gal
leries. and still more eager thousands
filing the streets outside, National
Commander Alvin Owsley responded
to addresses of welcome by California
and San Francisco officials and flashed
the spark of action through the
charged atmosphere that fill every le-
gfon convention hall.
From plans revealed prior to the
opening of the convention, the fifth
annual conclave promises to be one of
the most explosive ever held by the
ex-Service organization.

Americans Are Chosen
for a Great Destiny
Continuing, he said:

Continuing, he said:
I'VE Americans love our country
and may justly regard it, which in
cludes ourselves, as chosen under God
for great destiny. Men have always
dreamed Of lond where they could
obtain freedom and America offered
and so far has better fulfilled that
dream than any other spot on the
globe.
But the seething social political
economic and religious turmoil Of the
present are echoes of all the fallen
nations Of the past. Let US hope
that they are just echoes, yet hope
as we may, these cries indicate that
something is wrong-and may be the
first rumblings of the great crash of
modern civilization.
THE political philosopher looks
back upon the fallen nations and says
that they need not have fallen if.
We believe that America need not fall
and that those agencies which establ
hshed our nation can likewise main
tain our noble heritage. Our fore
fathers were enabled to come to these
new shores because Of the partial po-
htical and religious liberties fostered
by the sacrificial and trained think
ing Pauls, st. Augustines and Martin
Luthers.

REAL TASK is AHEAD

The following editorial is from
the Idaho Daily Statesman of Boise
and is republished here because OF
it's discussion of very timely sub.
ject:
We, the people of Idaho, must
begin to think of our legislature.
All we have done in primary, In
convention, in campaign and in cleo
ton was preparatory to the period
of actual achievement now only a
few weeks off. We have been de-
Gliding what work should be done
for the betterment of our condition
and what men should do it. We have
sketched in a platform and in cam
paign speech, rough plan of action
! and we have chosen the workers.
The time for the action and the
work is near at hand.
1t is almost inconceivable but
there are actually Idaho citizens
who are saying today, Now we can
forget politics for a couple Of
years." There are those who argue
that approving a platform and Sc
lecting men is all the citizen need
do, that with election his participa-
ton in government is over, that he
must leave everything now to the
men he has chosen and instructed.
Such people do not realize that it
is this philosophy which has de-
graded government in America.
They have not learned or they have
forgotten that representative institu
tions function perfectly only when
the people are advising, helping and
watching their representatives.
The legislature soon to convene
and the new governor soon to be
inaugurated will need assistance and
moral support from the people. AS
they work out the details of the re-
lief legislation, the simplification of
government, the strengthening OIL
government, the Strengthening Of
representative institutions and the
constructive measures demanded by
the people of the state, they will |
need to be guided by public senti- |
ment and the suggestions of the
people they are serving.
1t is not fair for people to con-
denim in such servants the omission
of acts not suggested to them or the
commission, of deeds against which
no one has protested. The time Is
at hand for suggestions to be made,
for bills to be worked out in detail
and discussed with prospective leg
islators, for the governor-elect to be
advised by the citizens how they
want him to go about that big task
which the rank and file of his own
party has merely sketched for him.
What has gone before has been
The real work of gov
is just ahead. In this period
The interest, attention and advice of
he people is essential to good gov
We, the people of Idaho, must be-
gin to think of our legislature

SECOND GRADE CREAM CAUSE
Lack Of Careful Attention to Separator
and Improper Cooling Are Held
Responsible.

Does your cream grade number one?
II not, it should. Lack Of careful at
tention to the separator and not cool
ing properly usually causes most sec
ond grade cream. Raise the quality Of
butter by keeping your cream out of
the grades below.
Second grade cream consists Of
cream that is too sour to pass as first,
that contains undesirable flavors or
odors In moderate degree; that is
foamy, slightly yeasty or slightly stale,
or that is too old to pass as first grade
cream. All sour cream containing less
than 25 per cent Of butterfat shall be
graded as second grade.

Value of Purebreds

The value Of purebred live
stock Is most noticeable In those
cases in which the capablity of
the animals is measured most
directly. Among farm animals
the best illustration can be
found in dairy cattle, though
careful yearly tests of milk and
butterfat production are rela-
lively recent affairs. The enOr-
nous differences among dairy
cows when given the same op-
portunity have been brought out
clearly In great number of
cases, and these differences are
strongly inherited through sire
and dam. The average produc-
ton Of purebred and grades Is
much above the average of all
milk cows, which is about 1000
pounds Of milk and 100 pounds
Of butterfat per year.

DECIDE THE BEET
QUESTION

Now that the farmers have
reached conclusions with the sugar
company as to the terms of the con-
tracts for growing beets for the sea-
son of 1928, there seems to be only
one thing in the way of full and un-
limited cooperation of the whole
community in getting a large beet
acreage and united effort to get a
large tonnage. We do not find that
the sugar company has given any
pledges that they will not ship the
beets away for treatment at some
other factory and thus deprive
Blackfoot of the industry of manu-
facture, and deprive the farmers and
stockmen of the pulp for use in
maintaining the feeding industry.
OF course it goes without saying,
that If we produce large tonnage
of beets, the local factory will treat
them, and the employment and the
pulp will be here, or that most of it
will be. The company have at sew
eral times closed this factory and
shipped part of our crop away and
thus inflicted loss on the commun-
ity. There may not be a whole
hearted support of the sugar in
dustry here unless there shall be as
surance on these two points.
In the 1922 crop we had a good
demonstration of the value of the
profit sharing feature of the beet
growers contract. The minimum
price to be paid for beets was $3.50
and up to date the growers havt re-
ceived s6.25, and may yet receive
more. If there had been a large
acreage and large tonnage in the
total, the farmers here would have
had money instead of potatoes now.
A large tonnage would have meant
that the local factory could make a
run of perhaps seventy-five days,
and thereby reduce the overhead
cost for the factory and secure for
the farmers a higher point of
division. And our committee would
have been justified in asking for a
change from 46k to 48 for the
farmers share on the 1928 contract.
The part which farmers can most
effectively do in reducing costs is to
select carefully the ground that is in
condition for raising beets,
and not to plant beets on unsuitable |
ioio. 0lOWlu6 Dc0lS OIL lduQ CudC
produces only seven or eight tons
per acre reduces the average yield |
per acre and raises the avrage cost |
per ton. The thing that will put the |
industry on a permanent paying |
basis is to raise the average yield, |
the average sugar content of the |
beets and not raise the cost in pro-
portion. Every acre of poor land |
hat is planted, works to the wrong
results.
Another thing the farmers can do
S to hold meetings in their own
1eighborhoods and decide among
themselves as to the acreage each
will plant, sign the contracts accord
ngly and turn them over to the
company without expense. If the
company has to send out men to
olicit contracts, it is expensive, and
Useless expense. 1t takes many men
many days to do what the farmers
an do to better advantage by COM
ng together and talking over the
and then acting on their
decisions. If the company has to
make a practice of sending out So
lcitors that expense will all have to
e added to the cost of the manu-
acture and will ultimately come out
f the farmers. The company would
lst as soon add that to the farmers
eet checks as to pay it out for
OlicitOrS.
