Assistant Forester Barker leaves
today for the Lower Stony region
where he will spend ten days with
Ranger Denley in, looking over
few townships south of the Island
River preparatory to reconnaissance
work for the coming season. It is
very likely that all of the reconnais-
sance equipment will be moved via
the Isabella and Island rivers to the
side camps before the freeze-up as
it would be exceedingly difficult to
pack in equipment on foot.

Legion VIII Battle
Against HliterGcy

A move to wipe out illiteracy from
the state of Georgia win be undertaken
Immediately by the American Legion
In that state, according to recent ac-
ton taken at a conference of all posts.
The Georgia illiteracy commission
will receive not only financial support
from the Legion. but the man power
Of the veterans organization will be
made available as well, according TO
statements made by officials.
Georgia has more than 10000 white
ifliterates, and the greatest need Of
the state in combating illiteraey is the
ovlsion Of funds with which To open
schools for these men and women, the
Legionnaires were told.
GlrlanJ w. Powell. director of the
Iegton's nationel Amerlcanism com

find fertile field for their work for
overthrow Of the nations institutions,

PURPOSE OF
"PEACE MOVEMENTS 81

Characterizlng efforts Of certain so
called peace movements" as insidious
attempts of radicals to gain control
of United States. the Americanism
commission of the American Legion is
warning members of that organization
against participation.
I'VE know that war is terrible says
a bulletin just issued by the Legion's
commission. Many brave lives have
been sacrificed in defense of Ameri-
can principles and ideals. Are we go
ing TO allow dissertation of these lives
by lot Of extreme pacifists who hide
behind the cloak Of the Deity?" the
bulletin asks.
Garland w. Powell, director of the
Americanism commission, prepared the
bulletin. in which he says that the
Womens' Peace society, the Womens'
Peace Union of the Western Hem.
lsphere. and the Fellowship Of Youth
for Peace are bodies which, in exact
ing anti-war pledges from members,
will preclude such Americans from par
ticipation in defense of the United
States, should It be drawn into war
He says that the efforts of these or.
CARNATIONS are used by radicals as
tools. and that. working in fertile fields
among the youth and Bible classes Of
the nation, they are gaining strength.
He urges that every American who
learns of such meetings attend, and II
possible present the patriotic view
point Of America.
a. They are the tools Of the
bolsheviks, the revolutionary radicals
and the communists" the bulletin
says. Nothing would suit them bet
ter than to have all Americans sign
pledges Of this kind. Then they would
walk in, seize our country and destroy
our institutions If there ever
was a time in the history of our ma.
ton that action Is needed. 1t is now
when such anti-American movements
as the one described are in progress.
Show these people that we have no
place for them in our institutions and
government the bulletin concludes.

Trades or Professions
for individual Posts

Formation of posts of the American
Legion to specifically serve certain
trades or professions is growing rap
idly. Many posts in the organization

other group that has a trade or similar
interest as a reason for their aftilia.
ton.
One of the most decided Of such
movements is that of advertising men,
who as World war veterans, are asso-
ciating themselves with the Legion,
and carrying on in their own line.
Strong posts of this character have
been formed in Chicago, New York.
Philadelphia and Boston. In Cleve-
land, another post composed exclusive

formation. and groups in st. Louis
and indianapolis include members Of
printing and allied trades advertising

printers, pressmen and similar profes-

From many of these posts come
some of the Invest ideas in post adver-

Legion win call on the man-power Of
posts for help In preparation Of adver-

PROGRESS WITH SAFETY
OR RED" EXPERIMENT?

The News-Record is glad to
see the radicals of King County
come out in the open in the mat
ter of the LaF'ollette- Wheeler
ticket. Their effort to make it
appear that the candidate of the
old parties ARE little less than
human and that LaEollette and
Wheeler are supermen is highly
entertaining, and could be let go
at that if it was not such a SER
ious matter. But it is serious
and the News-Record will so re-
gard it,,
Opponents of both Mn Cool
idge and Mr.. Davis who have
studied the men, both as regards
their public and private life, will
ingly admit that they are, both.
clean, 'mgh-grade and honest
characters both are well versed
in public affairs and have made
a record as efficient public SER
wants. President Coolidge has
shown himself worthy of the
trust imposed upon him in every
way. He has done so well that
the majority of the people think
he is entitled to four years more
and it is because of this that
the radicals are emptying their
walls of wrath upon HIM now
If he We're a weallling or dishon-
est they would not be worrying
He has proved himself able tc
take the unpopular side when ii
was right and defend his position
logically and fearlesSly when he
knew it would lose him votes
He has proven that he in favor Of
reducing the national debt anc
federal taxes by actually ano
substantially reducing them. He
is the true friend of the small
business man and the farmer anC
sympathizes with their problems
In doing this he has earned tht
good will of all classes and some
even of his political opponent:
are fair enough to concede this
much.
