Kenzie. 1T also affords the clear

I'VE predict that this year more

DRAIN IS ELECTED
LEGION LEADER
Washington Cd. Co. Lawyer
Only Man in Army Who
Had but One Hand.

st. Faul, Minn.-The most impor-
tant national convention in the short
but dynamic history of the American
Legion came to an end shortly after
James A. Drain, Washington Cd. CO
attorney, had been elected command
er for the coming year. The new
skipper was made unanimous choice
before the first ballot had been count
ed. Over 10000 veterans attended
the convention.
Only One Hand; Enlisted.
Jim Drain has only one slogan,
'For God and Country" in his ban
ner. For God and country in peace
times, just as the Yanks were for God
and country in 1917.
Drain is a picturesque figure. His
right hand is missing. 1t was shot off
In an accident while he was hunting.
Despite the handicap, Jim Drain went
overseas with the Yanks. He was the
only man in the great army who had
but one hand. He's been a buck pri-
vate, and he's been a brigadier gen.
eraL
What work is ahead of mel" he
asked. MY whole mission can be told
In three words, For God and Coun-
try the first words of the preamble
of the legion's constitution. For God
and country without partisan politics,
without intolerance in religion, max
Ing the care of the disabled comrade
our first concern. Second, care for
the orphaned children of our fallen
comrades.
We're going to make one of our
big labors the getting out of the voters
on election day."
Commander Drain is flfty-four
years old. He was born in Warren
county, Illinois. He will move to In
diaanpolis shortly.
Father Lonergan Made Chaplain.
When George Berry of Tennessee
nominated Father Joseph Lonergan
of Durand, Ill.,, a Protestant depart
ment chaplain seconded, saying, Hell
will hear Lonergan and upon hearing
will tremble.'" Indiana put up the
name of the Rev. Stewart Long. but
withdrew it, and Father Lonergan was
unanimously elected
Father Lonergan went overseas. He
was in the Eighth division, later with
the Twentieth engineers, and finally
with the Three Hundred and Forty
third infantry. He saw the fire and
the slaughter in the Argonne forest
and was near to the buddies in other
battles.
A resolution was passed creating a
peace committee and instructing it to
take up the matter of everlasting
peace during the coming year and to
make report at the Omaha conven-
ton next year.

Bridge Hurled Into River
The wind literally tore many farm
buildings from the face of the earth.
Farmers Monday were looking far
and wide for barns, pigpens and
chicken coops, not a board or nail Of
which remained to mark their sites.
The terrific force of the wind is best
illustrated, perhaps, by the disappear
ance of the 500 line bridge across the
Black river, seven miles northwest
of Owen. That bridge is now at the
bottom of the river, 100 yards above
its piers. 1t was steel span bridge,
$50 feet long, with enough metal in it
to build a battleship. Yet it was

Lifts Water From Lake
A cyclone swept over Lake Chetek
a little more than an hour hour be-
fore a tornado struck near Thorp,
where several persons were reported
killed, and blew down barns, smaller
buildings, trees and caused consider
able damage along the lake front
among the cottages. Big swaths were
cut through the forests that bound
in that region. The cyclone missed
the village of Chetek by two miles
Wayne Plummer and Walter Mears
of Chetek were out in boat on Lake
Chetek, shooting ducks when they saw
the tYister coming. They pulled for
the shore, ran through the woods into
some shrubbery, lay down and seized
hold of the roots while the cyclone
passed over them. The twister lifted
great volume of water out of the
lake and dumped it over them. They
found their boat far up on the shore
afterwards.
Relief Work Begins
Organized measures for relief of the
victims of Sundays devastating storm,
which swept Clark and Taylor coun-

Committees of Red Cross workers
and members of local organizations
at Thorp, Withee, Owen and Medford
were tagging motorists to raise funds
for the immediate wants of the suf-
ferers.
The division headquarters of the
Red Cross at Chicago wired $1,000
for relief work and advised that ad-
ditional funds could be obtained if
necessary.
AT Ashland a community organiza-
ton, backed by funds raised by
lodges and organizations, has been
formed for the care of sufferers in the
storm area at Sanborn.
An offer of assistance by the ma
tional department of the American
Red Cross was declined by Allen T.
Pray, chairman of the relief organiza-
ton here, after it was found that the
local body could handle the situation
The funds raised are to be used in
erecting new homes for stricken fam
lilies and shelters for stock and grain.
