Thus, addressing the student body

John R. McQuigg of the American Lee
gion, began an unrelenting campaign
against the ''ultra-pacifist movement

The Legion leader declared: "Any-
one who could be contemplate enough
to swear to the no-more-war' oath,
is unworthy to live in any country, I'M
der any flag, anywhere.
Il cannot understand the state of
mind of the pacifist, the man who re-
ceives every benefit nation has to
confer and who win not defend that
nation when it has need for defense.
A government of all is entitled to the
services of all. In accepting an OBJ
legation of citizenship, a man accepts
the duties of citizenship, and one of
those duties is the duty of defending
the government in its time of need
"The American Legion can render
no greater service to the country than
to fight the insidlous undermining of
her national defense by Htra-pacifist
movement" Commander McQuigg
said Referring to the reserve Off

ICED as basic feature of the one
army plan of 1920 and which has been
attacked by radical pacifists, Comman-

to undermine an article of that plan
will be resisted vigorously"
The Legion recently created ma

the ultra-pacifist movement. Gen. L.

lures were recently put on the air by
the Department of Agriculture, all de-
signed to be of direct material adj
vantage to the farm family. These
are: A farm news digest consisting
of short items of agricultural news
not accessible to the average farm
reader; Fifty Farm Flashes" a daily
service of so timely, practical questions
put by farmers and answered by agri-
cultural authorities; the housekeep-
er's half hour, an informal program
designed to supply both information
and inspiration to housewives, putting
at their disposal the great fund Of
facts interesting to homemakers which
are developed by the government bu-
reau of home economics and similar
research agencies and the Radio Or
der of Junior Gardeners, a program es-
pecialIy for boys and girls but help
full also to grown-ups.
The latter, it seems to me, gives an
authoritative discussion of timely
gardening subjects. Boys and girls
who enroll in the order are later fur
nished the talks and supplementary
gardening material in printed form.
In addition to these programs,
broadcast by the government for the
direct benefit of farmers, am told
that agricultural information Of sort
that returns dividends in dollars and
cents is being distributed by radio
through more than a score of state ag-
ricultural colleges. Many of these col
leges are now using radio in broad
casting their college extension courses.
One fine thing about thfsNis that boys
and girls financially unable to attend
college are, through radio, enabled to
enroll for these courses, take their ex-
aminations and receive college credit
therefor. Radio owes great deal to

Kansas claims larger percentage of
farms radio equipped than any other

OF necessity, the dolIars-and-cents
side of radio on the farm is often the
deciding factor as to whether or not a
farmer can afford to equip his home
with a radio. But, despite any direct

Guard NotU on Duty at
UnknouUn Soldiers Tomb

A soldier in the field uniform worn
during the World war, with light pack,
steel helmet, wrapped puttees and
fixed bayonet, now marches post, day
~ and day out, winter and summer,
before the tomb of the Unknown Sol
dier at Arlington National cemetery.
This permanent military guard at
the Unknown's tomb was secured
through the advocacy Of the American
Legion during the past three years.
Secretary Of War Dwight f. Davis
ordered the guard placed over the
tomb early in April. The Legion
pointed out that tourists and visitors
at the shrine had taken away souve-
Mrs. 1t is their hope that proper
reverence for the symbol will be en-
gendered by the presence of the guard
at the tomb.

service, and in April, 1921, through
arrangements with the Post Office de-

were broadcast several times a day
from air mail radio stations in half
dozen different cities. BY January,
1922, these market reports were being
relayed and broadcast by radio tele-

Then came the era of radio tele-
