TRIBUTE TO LEGION

youth which believes. :"
are words of tribute TO the
American Legion included in the
American Bar associations last
annual report, which states:
'How, then, shall we proceed
to leaven the vast lump of indif-
ference, ignorance and hostility
prevalent il this country and
threatening the growth of what
the American Legion has grouped
under the term 'Americanism'Y
The association answers its own
question as follows: Our plan
has been to work with and CO.
ordinate the efforts of every So
ciety in America competent and
willing to do the work, and in
this way we have been amazed
and delighted to find the mag
nificent work that these organi-
cations are accomplishing along
patriotic lines, how readily and
intelligently they respond to
every appeal. Foremost of these
in numbers, youth and zeal, of
course, is the American Legion.
If sometimes the Legion in its
enthusiasm does radical things,
it must be remembered that
youth which believes is always
radical Youth which believes is
never lukewarm and seldom
moderate. But of all the assets
that America has for good citi-
zenship and the awakening of
the political conscience, undoubt-
edly this great body stands
among the first"

TREE IS
BIG MENAGER|E
CoonS, Squirrels, Rabbits and
Bees Seen and Bagged,

RICH HILL, Mo, Feb 22.-An I'M
usual hunting story comes from Reed
Creek, ten miles southwest of this
city.
NJ. NJ. Wilsey, Jess Wilsey, John
Wade and S. L. Swan organized
hunting party on Reeds Creek They
tracked a raccoon to a large cotton
wood tree and, after some argument
as to the best way to get his coat of
fur, decided to cut the tree down.
The tree was felled and as it came
down a limb struck the raccoon and
killed It and injured its mate so that
it was capturd. The tree was a regu-
lar squirrels nest, as four were killed
outright and two injured so that they
were caught Three rabbits were killed
in their hiding place at the base of
the tree. In limb of the tree was a
swarm Of bees in possession Fof at
least two tubs full of honey. The bees
were so savage, however, that their
honey was not molested.
According to Mr.. Wilsey, the tree
will make at least flee cords of wood
and he believes it would have pro
duced at least a couple of bales of cot
ton had it been free from boil weevil.

ANOTHER DECLINE
!. SUFFEREDBY HOGS
Heavy Offerings Locally and
in Chicago Responsible,

An excess of hog supplies both
locally and in Chicago accounted for
another sharp drop in prices in trading
at the local livestock market today.
The decline was 10 cents, all weights
and classes having sold at 1920, COM
pared with S7.35 on Thursday, while
the top of 1926 paid for some fancy
lightweights was also Is cents lower
than the top of $7.40 paid for some
belted Hampshires on previous trading.
Both shippers and packers were &C
tive, but the supply of $4,000 head, in
Guiding Thursdays holdover of 335,
proved too large for competition and
trading was done at the lower level
from the start Pigs were not greatly
influenced by the general drop, having
sold down from $6.75, though largely
at $3.50 while sows were weak to a
quarter lower at 1925 down, though
rarely higher than Sc. The days re-
ceipts were somewhat larger than trad
ers had predicted as many had be-
lieved that Thursdays break of 20 to
% cents would check the country
movement and this fact proved de-
pressing factor. Truck movement has
been accelerated the past few days,
following improvement in the condi'
ton of highways.
Trading in the cattle market was
rather slow, due to the absence of
several large buyers, but prices were
largely steady, due to the fact that
the offerings were of a generally bet
ter class than recently. The weeks
sustained advance has brought a bet
ter class of offerings and prices have
ruled pretty we'll unchanged. Re-
ceipts, 500.
DESPITE increased receipts of 700
head. prices for veals moved general
" a half dollar higher to a top Of
$3.50 for choice calves and ~S14.50 to
SIS for the bulk.
Less than fifty head of sheep ar
rived for market and trading was
slow, but prices ruled unchanged at
SIS down for native-fed lambs and 81
down for sheep.

Der is beautiful. He has a new dancer
this season in the person Of Lee Hall.
Two men do a clever skating number.
1t seems to me, and l do not want to
be too critical, that Ibach should have
a crashing novelty number to close his
program. Novelty is the keynote of
success for orchestras today Allen
Quick is a splendid saxzophone player.
Nelson Warning shows how THE

written it as a march. He also plays
it as a apper would. Warning is a

Gordons dogs open the bill with a

would have done credit to Santa Claus.
The couple went into the Chimney
Creek district, about thirty miles from
Meeteetse. last September. A big snow
storm came up and the Simmonses
foudn found it impossible to get out
with their car.
Simmons had almost decided to kill
his hunting dog rather than starve to
death, according to the story he tells,
but the dog looked so pitiful and was
as hungry as himself. So he just cut
the dogs tail off, made soup of it and
threw the bone to the dog, saving the
lives of all.
Next day they located a mill few
miles from the camp, which had a
cache of provisions. and from that
store Mr.. and Mrs. Simmons kept
themselves in pretty good shape while
the supplies lasted
They followed the first party
through Wind River canyon and
made their way to Casper. glad to

FOOD IS DECLARED
PRESENT EVEN IN
A BOTTLE OF pop
CarboniC Beverage Said to
Equal Egg or Drink Of
Mix Per Glass.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2g.-While
the word food defines. in the popular
sense whatever one eats in contra
distinction to what one drinks, and
consequently a solid substance as op-
posed to fluid. the average person
would be surprised to learn how much
is drink of what he takes as food and,
vice versa. how much food he obtains
in what he esteems as beverage. There
is more than a metaphor in the old
saying. 1T is food and drink to me"
says Director w. P. Hartman of the
Michigan State Bureau of Foods and
Standards.
Addressing the recent convention OF
the Ohio Bottlers' Association at Co
lumbus, Mr.. Hartman, after calling
attention to the Importance of bottled
carbonated beverages to the food pro-
ducing industries as a whole. as en-
phasized by the recent announcement
by Federal statisticians that the >peo-
pie of this country in 1928 paid $780,
O00, 900 for soft drinks, said:
Notwithstanding the progress Of
your industry in the last decade, even
today lot of folk look upon carbon
ated beverages merely as. 'sweetened
water In other words, they are a bit
skeptical. BY way OF comparison. let
us see:
"a potato is IS per cent water:
celery, 9515 per cent; onions, 81 per
cent; asparagus, 81 per cent; apples,
| S413 per cent; whole milk, 81 per cent;
eggs, IA per cent; porterhouse steak,
60 per cent; fish, from 70 to 81 per
cent, and even hash, the standby Of
the boarding house, is S0.3 per cent
water.
Mr.. Arthur McWilliams, chief di-
vision Of foods and diaries, Ohio State
department of agriculture, has recent
ly demonstrated that the average bot
tie of carbonated beverage will equal
in food value a slice of bread and
butter, one fresh egg or glass OF
milk, and 1 suggest that you refer to
any authority on food values and
make you rown further comparisons.
| Some of you may be surprised, and
most assuredly you will surprise the
public when you begin to feature the
actual food value, and frequently the
mineral value, of your product.

Belief that Herbert Wallace, "a,

EDUCATION COSTS
FIVE TIMES MORE
NOW THAN IN 1874
Report Made on Amount
Spent in Indiana on
Public Schools,

Public education in Indiana cost the
State $62,S50.681.11 in 1928, according
to the annual report of the depart
ment of public instruction, compiled
by Leonard B. job assistant State
superintendent of public instruction.
Cost for 1914 was s12.S95. 625.O6. High
cost Of living and building construc-
ton costs are responsible for the In
crease.
OF the amount expended in 1928,
2S5 per cent was for new buildings
and for payment of debts contracted
for buildings in recent years. Be-
cause very little construction was
carried on during the war period it
was necessary for school corporations
to redouble their efforts to provide
facilities Ter rapidly increasing school
population.
The cost per child enrolled was
SCI 81 in townships and S23O.1S in
cities. Indina cities spent S25.72 for
child enrolled, while the towns spent
s5.G7 a child.
Average salary paid elementary
township teachers amounts to $3.50 to
day, as compared with $414.S3 in 1914
Elementary teachers in cities today re
ceive ar average annual income OF
S1,41O.26, as compared with SS7S.3s
in 1914.
The outstanding accomplishment in
1923 was passage Of the teachers

bly,. This law provided that the State
board Of education should license all
teachers after Dec. l, 1923. that
thereafter licenses would be issued
and renewed only on basis Of creden.
