Legal Aid Association
Increased to 40

Minneapolis, Aug. 81 CA. P.)-The
Bar can no longer be charged with
neglecting the interest of poor liti-
giants. Reginal Neber Smith, chair
nan of the Committee on Legal Aid
Work reported to the annual meeting
OF the American Bar Association to-
day.
In the past year the number of le-
Gal aid associations ihas increased,
until now there are 40 such organiza-
lions. Their purposes are to furnish
lawyers services to poor persons In
1922. more than $4,000 persons re-
ceived such assistance. The legal aid
associations and bar associations are
working together.
"In the more populous states the
bar has recognized it's Responsibility
and in divers ways has rendered real
service" the report said. Legal aid
workers hold the clear conviction that
the best guarantee for the mainten-
ance of legal aid work on it's present
high plane will come from a tradition
that legal aid work is one of tire most
important concerns of every bar as
Eociation. This tradition has been

Chicago Produce Market

chicago, aug. SI.f
European news of bullish charac-
strength IN the hog market, gave firm
tone to the wheat market today. To-
ward the close, however, SUPPORT fell
oft and vaues failed to retain advances
established earlier in the day. At the
finish wheat IVES unchanged to &c low
CT with December 1.0is to los and
May 1.I04 to l.10sMs; corn was up
/ to IL. oats sMi higher and provis-
ions gained 3 to ljc.
News from abroad. especially that
pertaining to Italy and Greece, was
readily absorbed by the bulls and
wheat values started with an upward
swing. Higher Liverpool cables helped
to life values here. as did hog values,
which were the highest of the season.
Firmness in the cash market also was
a bullish factor. but when buyers with
drew the market became easier. Of
feringS were ight, receipts being es-
timatcd at 21o cars.
Trade was light. commission houses
being moderate buyers. The seaboard
confirmed sales of 100000 bushels hard
winter wheat to the United Kingdom
and it was expected that U0,000 bush
els more would be worked before night.
Sales of 100000 bushels wheat We're
made to go to store.
Corn was firm, with the September
delivery leading the upturn, strength
in the cash market being an influence
to some extent. Buying WAS scattered
with some profit taking on the advance.
Buying by leading cash interest
was helpful factor to higher levels in
the oats market
Provisions were strong ard higher
in an active trade.

Uniform campaigns and concerted

expected IRON certain senators, the
report declares, but q majority in
favor OF the proposals is assured
once the bills come from committees.

failure of the church to insist that If
Christ is to be Master anywhere, he
must re Master everywhere. Had the
Christian Church insisted from the
beginning that Christians cannot ex-

Service and
What an Owner
Can Give

Declaring that the word service"
has been overworked. and that toe
many motorists have come to reoa1
It as high sounding nOnentity, Free
H. Galley, executive secretary of the
National Motorists Association, be-
heves it Is only fair to the car own
erto tell him that service. at least ir
: connection with his automobile club
Is Just what he makes it.
The motorist is practical fellow"
says Mr.. Galley, and service hag
never impressed him as anything to
take seriously because it has n:ver
been defined so that you can under
stand 1t. Somewhere in the back of
bis head turks the vague idea that
service has something to do with get
tlng something for nothing. The y.
NJ A., therefore feels called upon to
snow him that there is an important
angle TO the subject which he has
overlooked.
Every successful automobile club
Is built upon the idea that its service
measured by what it actually gives
70 its members, but the reason why
most car owners fail to find real SER
wee Is because they do not give any
ming IN return.
This does not have to be money.
ID lact the dues paid into an auto
mobile club are nominal in conlpari-
ION with the actual value of what
members get in return, and the
amount OF service which a club can
eve Is not necessarily proportional
tne amount of the individual dues.
.ae tning that counts is the help the
Mo'orist gives to his club, the spirit.
