DALLAS, Tex, March 30
Claws Of a tiger-like March
today sank deep into this state
which a few days ago was
warming under a lamb-like
spring.
The fangs of the dying
month wreaked vengeance in
a storm which cut through
Houston, Beaumont, Liberty
and surrounding towns caus-
ing at least two deaths,
brought Amarillo its greatest
snow in Is years, and played
freakish pranks throughout
the state. The western plains
were covered under deep snow
and slush.
The storm about Houston
and Beaumont caused damage
which may mount to several
hundred thousands dollars and

ed in several deaths.

The three men were employees Of
the Peer Oil company and had Just

storm struck. The wind swept a patti,
about half a mile wide through the

MINNESOTA AUXILIARY
SURPRISES 1925 TOTAL.

During the last week, units of the
Minnesota Legion Auxiliary from all
parts of the state RENTED three
hundred additional members to Miss
Blanche Scallen, state secretary, who
announces that on April %, the
Land of Ten Thousand Lakes ex-
ceeded the number of Legion Aux
iliary members on its 1925 roll call.
totaling Just short of $4,000, COM
pared with 14,531 last year.
A feature of the Minnesota Lee
gion Auxiliary is the ZALZ-10, a
huge membership Zepplin captalned
by Mrs. Rose Spencer of Winona,
state president, who, with a full load
of $1,000 members for 1926 on
board, will now head her airship for
Indiana, there to drop an "Over The
Top May Basket" at Indianapolis, as
greeting to the national president.
With $4,000 members of the Lee
gion already signed up for 1926, the
combined Legion and Auxiliary
strength in Minnesota totals $4,000
on April % and will probably be in
excess of 10000 by May LIST. Com
mander Joe O'Hara and President
Rose Spencer hope to see it reach
the $4,000 mark before the year
ends.
And with ideals and actual work
to guide them in service to their
comrades, the nation and their COM
munities, what a power for good
fifty thousand loyal Legion and
Auxiliary members can be? The
Legion preamble reads: ''For God
and Country we associate ourselves
together to uphold the constitution,
mainain law and order, foster 100
per cent Americanism, preserve war
memories, inculcate sense of indi-
vidual obligation to community,
state and nation, safeguard justice,
freedom and democracy, sanctify
our comradeship by devotion to
mutual helpfulness."

April "a, 1926.
The Committee on Agriculture
set precedent when they voted on
April 22nd to report three bills,
without recommending any of them,
for farm relief measures. The
Tinchel Bill provides for the crea-
ton of Federal farm board oper-
ating with a $1O0, 600, 900 revolving
fund to assist existing farm coopera-
tive groups i'm disposing of crop sur
pluses and stabilizing prices The
aim of the Haugen bill is to estab-
lish, through operation of the pro-
posed boards, domestic price for
farm products equal to the prevail
ing world prices, plus the tariff and
transportation charges. The Aswell
bill differs from the two mentioned,
in that it places the appointment Of
the controlling board in the hands
of the farm organizations instead of
the President, and eliminates both
the equalization fee provided in the
Haugen bill and the revolving fund
of the Tincher bill 1t viii be up
to the members of Congress to de-
eide which one of these bills will be
most beneficial to the farmers in
