So, 206.15 Contributed to Legion
Flood Funds

Within ten days from insurance
of first appeal to Minnesota Legion
posts and units for clothing and
money to be rushed directly to
Southern Departments for instant
use through Legion and Auxiliary
in emergency cases, $3,206.15 had
been RENTED to state headquarters
and hundreds of boxes of mended,
serviceable clothing were enroute
or on supply shelves, ready for
shipment at a moments notice.
Mrs. Thomas Howard of Robbins
dale, Minnesota Legion Auxiliary
Rehabilitation; and Mrs. Milton
Spencer of Winona, Legion Auxil-
larry National Rehabilitation Chair
man, have received from the
south, letters describing how Won
derful it was to have such funds
and supplies ready to distribute
without loss of time, when thous-
ands of refugees needed instant aid
in food and clothing. AS usual,
Minnesota led in this effort and
"hais endeared itself to all our
people, black and white, by its
sympathy and support" Mrs. Nan
ME H. Julienne of Mississippi
(president) declares.

Farm Woods Should
Not Be Over Pastured

Over grazing of the woodlot by
cattle and horses is too common
practice in Minnesota, says P. o.
Anderson, extension forester of
the University of Minnesota. One
should not expect good pasture and
thriving, valuable tree growth co
occupy the same place. Farm ami
mails injure the trees by stripping
off leaves, tearing bark and stems
uprooting seedlings, and trampline
and exposing the roots of the olde!
trees. The relative economic valui
of the growing forest crop is no;
appreciated as it should be-, and
restoration of depleted woodland
areas would go forward much fast
er if accompanied with definite
steps for protection. Over graz
ing is, therefore, a waste, for if
properly handled farm forests will
contribute in a substantial way to
the farm income. Mr.. Anderson
holds that the management and
harvesting of a forest crop should
be part of the program of every
farmer who has a woodlot.

American Legion

Memorial Day 1927 representa-.
tives of 1900 Legion posts, in a
special ceremony, will place in a
tiny box, soil from the graves OF
World War veterans in home town
cemeteries, and the buddy from
that post who is going to the Paris
Convention next September, will
accept this box as a sacred trust
and will promise to place that soil
on the grave of a comrade from
the home town who is buried in
France.
If the boy after whom the post
is named is not buried overseas,
the soil will be placed on the graves
of comrades in one of the great
American war cemeteries over
seas. This will be an act of tri-
butte to those men of 1917 who
have passed on and by mingling
the soil of America with that over
the graves of American veterans
buried in France, will in truth
make that soil forever a part OF
the homeland.
IhlS special ceremony, prepared
by National Headquarters, will be
made a part of the Memorial Day
tribute of every American Legion
post to departed comrades on May
80, 1927. Minnesota Legionaires
entrusted with this sacred earth

CENTRAL UNION
HAS CHANCE TO
TIE UP LEAGUE

CentralUnion grid warriors will
go into action against Holtville at
Central Union field tomorrow af-
tcrnoon in a battle that promises
plenty of fight. Central will be
battling to come from behind while
Holtville, defeated at Calexico Sat
urday will seek to get back to the
top of the ladder in the league race.
Should Central and Brawley
emerge victors in the two games
booked Armistice Day, it would
throw the entire league into a dead
lock. Each team would have 3 500
point percentage, the two tie games
played by Brawley and FL Centre
counting the same as one game won
and one game lost. As the league
now stands Calexico and Holtville are
each credited with two victories and
one loss while Ell Centre and Braw-
lev are credited with one win and
two losses.
1t is expected that the Friday
game will bring out one of the larg-
est crowds that has attended a grid
battle here in some time. Holtvillc,
rated as the strongest team in the
circuit, has plenty of backing and
the boys will invade Ell Centre with
a good crowd of rooters. The game
will probably be the most important
played here this season and it is
hoped that the Central boys will be
given plenty of home support.
The lineup of the two teams is
expected to be as follows:
Holtville: ends, Morgan and E.
Mcneil; tackles, Alexander and Kis-
ling; guards, Lambert and X. Nc
Neil; center, White; quarterback,
Robertson; halfbacks, Williams and
Lyons; fullbaek Keeble.
Central: ends, Johnson n d
Briggs; tackles, Ariaudo and Smith ;
guards, Hickcox and Claypoole; cen
ter, Hamilton; quarterback, Gillett;
halfbacks, Mcbride and Haskell; !;
fullback, Obergfelle.1
Coach Armstrong has been work
ing his boys hard thisl week, the
final session this afternoon being de-
voted mostly to signal practice and
light drill to give the beys a rest
before the big battle tomorrow.
The game will get going st 2:30
