However, there is this to be said:
The Griffmen are not getting as
severe test here as the Maekmen
are in st. Louis. nor are they likely
to be quite as hard in Detroit as
the Mackmen win be in Chicago.
But, on the other hand, Detroit
ana Cleveland have given the Mack
men quite as much trouble out here
this season as the Griffs have en-
countered in st. Louis and Chicago.
Therefore, whatever ground the
champions can gain here and in De
troit, they are likely TO hold against
the stiffest Of st. Louis and Chi
cago opposition. That may send
them home in first place, giving
them an opportunity to develop q
fair.sized lead by triumphing over
their rivals In the pennant race.
The werId champions leave by

be their first boat trip in couple
of seasons. Usually they have

HE LAUDS WISCONSIN
King of Minnesota Give Wiz
consin Legion Men High
est Honors at Baraboo.

When Wisconsin American Leg
ion men heard Stafford King of
Minnesota laud them as the COM
ing leaders in Legion work
throughout the United States at
the big meeting at Baraboo a
couple of weeks ago, they all felt
pride IN their state-and they had
the unbounden right. Here is
what Mr.. King said about the Wis
consin boys;
Fellows, there is no reason
that | know of why l should be in
Baraboo. | should be taking an
undue advantage of you if l were
to suggest that there was. On the
other hand, | am glad to come to
this conference and tell you with
every ounce of sincerity which I
have that the work of the Ameri-
can Legion being done in the de-
partment of Wisconsin is con-
stantly an incentive to greater
work in Minnesota.
The work which you have done
IN your posts gives us strength to
carry on; to see Wisconsin as you
never have, to see Wisconsin on
parade in national convention is
an inspiration which comes to a
few Legionaires. | have seen them
on the side lines in Kansas City; |
have seen them lining the walls in
San Francisco, and | have seen
them on the housetops in st. Paul,
and they clapped their hands for
Iowa and Minnesota and Kentucky.
But when they came down the
line Of march with that float Of
yours, "The Spirit of '76," they
have wept. That is the most won
derful thing, in my estimation,
that the Legion has ever produced
as a float, and I don't think that
the Racine boys ought to claim it
alone, because it is too big for one
post or one department. 1t was in
its entirety, Wisconsin"
Wisconsin stands fourth in
membership race with 1850 mem
bers. Illinois leads with 1888;
New York is second with 1911
d Pennsylvania with 1912.
Iowa runs Wisconsin a close race
for fourth place with 11,463 mem
bers.

NY old Ford

nv my Ford everybody makes fun:
They say it was born in nineteen one
~ Maybe it was, but this I'll bet,
She's good for many long mile vet
The windshields gone-and the radiator leaks
The fan belt slips and the motor squeaks
She shakes the screws and the nuts all loose
But get forty miles a gallon of juice
When | can't get gas l burn kerosene,
And I've driven home on Paris green.
She has a rattle in front and a grind in the rear
And Chinese puzzle for steering gear
Her coils are dead and her plugs won't fire.
And her piston rings baling wire
But in spite of this she pulls me through
And that's about all any car can do
With hgh-priced cars they give you tools,
Some extra parts and book Of rules
Some wire stretchers and a pair of shears
Are all have carried in fifteen years
And if | live to the day
She falls to pieces like the one-horse shay,
If old Hank Ford stays in the game,
I'll buy another of the same durn name

Latter Day Saints To
 Dedicate New Temple

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. IS. P)-The small town of Mesa, Ariz., will be the gathering place next year for thousands of worshippers who will dedicate the new temple of the Lat ter Day Saints.
 Church authorities believe that full ly 25,OOO adherents of the Mormon faith will take part in the ceremo- nies. The structure, to cost more than s6OO,O0O, will be completed about January 1.
 For some time the outer temple will be kept open for public inspec- tion, but after> dedication it will be closed to all but Mormons and even they must come recommended by of- f1cers of the church before being permitted to enter.
 The inner temple will be a shrine never revealed to the public. It is known, however, that some of the best artists in the country have help ed in the decoration. Large paint ings will depict Joseph Smith preach ing to the Indians and the scene at St. George, Utah, when the entire Shivwit tribe was baptised.

Utah Pine Nuts Used To
 Re-forest Persian Fields

OGDEN, Utah, Dec. IS. (P)-Twen- ty-five cents worth of pine nuts pur- chased three years ago from local fruit store are helping re-forest Per- sia.
 Three years ago H. Reiben, at Tabriz, wrote F. S. Baker, of the for est service headquarters, asking for tree seeds. He was experimenting to find species adapted for Persia.
 Baker had no seed at hand, but he went to a neighboring fruit store and bought twenty-five cents worth of pine nuts, sent them to Reiben and forgot the matter.
 Recently, he received another letter from Reiben reporting that the seed had thrived and asking more of the same variety.
 MT. Baker has invested another twenty y-five cents and the fruit store product is on it's way to Tabriz.
