NATIVE VEGETABLES MOST VAL
UABLE

In the American vegetable garden
eight principal food products had
their origin in the Indian crops exist
ing here before the advent of the
white man. These include beans
corn, peppers, pumpkins, squash, to
mato, potato, and sweet potato
Vegetables of Old World origin are
far more numerous The United
States Department of Agriculture
lists "a of Importance, cucumbers
eggplant, muskmelon, watermelon.
okra, asparagus, beets, Brussels
sprouts, cabbage, carrots, caulitiower
celery, kale and collard kohlrabi.
leek, lettuce, onion, parsley, parsnip
peas, radish, satisfy, spinach, anC
turnip. But the value of the crop of
the eight native vegetables is con
slderably greater than the "a of for
eign origin. Since the discovery of
America the white man has not tam
ed any native plant which the Indian
had not already brought from warm
er parts Of America, but notable i'm
PF9yements have been made in the
quality and yields of most of these
vegetables.

The Board of Directors of the An
ti-Saloon League of America meeting
in called session at Winona Lake,
August Is, discussed the Leagues
policy with reference to political
party platforms.
After full discussion, committee
was appointed which drafted resolu-
lions which met the unanimous ap-
proval of the Board. These resolu-
lions hold the League to it's omni-
partisan principle and put the full
responsibility upon the respective
parties.
The resolutions declare that the
League assumes that no political
party which stands for the American
form of Constitutional government
and for government by law will bid
for the votes of the American people
on any basis than that of loyalty to
and respect for laws, of the land,
both constitutional and statutory"
and that "it would be inconsistent in
any party which either implicitly or
explicitly places itself before the pub
lie as standing for law and order to
put in nomination for the chief law
enforcement officer of the nation a
man who cannot be relied upon to
keepahis oath of Office to uphold the
Constitution of the United States
and to enforce its laws" and finally
that "the Anti-Saloon League OF
America will do all in its power to
defeat at the polls any candidate OF
any party who is opposed to the
broad American principles announc-
ed herein"

FRIDAY, SEPT. 16, 1927

The Federal Government taxed
smokers $37O,666,498 in 1925. The
joke is that most of them paid the
tax without realizing what was being
done. 1t is an illustration of taxa
ton without pain.
When smoker buys a package Of
twenty cigarettes, the popular size,
he does not realize that six cents OF
his money is being paid to the Fed
eral Government. Not knowing, he
does not care.
II his state government, however,
comes along with two or three cent
stamp tax on the package, as some
of the states have done, the smoker
Immediately complains. He sees
what is being done, it is new pay
ments, and he thinks he is being
taxed to death.
Careless smokers burned $30,OOO,-
900 worth of property last year.

Il you have one of those tough, old
timers. that hang on and die hard

loosen up and you are better almost
befo--~ you know 1t.
There is no sugar, chloroform or
dope in Bronchuline Emulsion, it's
a wonderful medicine for people who
are getting over a heavy obstinate
cold or an attack Of Flu.
A New York nurse coughed for
weeks-just couldn't stop coughing
even after consulting specialists
yet one half bottle OF Bronchuline
Emulsion did stop it-Completely.

Story of War

"Tbe Big Parade" which opened
last night at the Valley lheater, is
without doubt the greatest picture
in the history of the screen. More
vividly than any words ever print.

tion for Metro-G -Goldwyn- Mayer star
ring John Gilbert.
1t has taken America a decade to
attain proper perspective on the
late conflict, but now that the war
is over and intelligent thought has
given place to passion and preiu-
dice on the subject, we can at last
appreciate story depicting it
faithfully. That is what "Thc
Big Parade" does. There is no
glorification of war, nor Of flag
waving; rather it glorifies heroism
and tolerance.
John Gilbert gives a great and
unforgettable portrayal of the Am
crican doughboy. He endows the
role with all his charm and creates
a character that will live forever in
the memories of those who see it.
Renee Adoree plays Melisande, the
French girl, in delightful and in

Win Wage Increase-Othcr
Demands Are Lost

strike Of stage hands, motion picture
machine operators and musicians in
Twin Cities theatres, which started
September II, has been settled as
a result Of 10 hours of continuous
conferences, it was announced to-
day.

crease for one year, So a week the
second year and 81 a week for tn
final year Of the three-year contract
signed. The demand for one day rest
in seven, and other questions, were
lost.
Neither Side Victorious
William S. Caravan, international
president Of the stage hands, and
w. A. Steffes, chairman of the board
for the theatre owners, handled the
cgotiations, which were character
lied as mot to be considered a VIC
tory for either party by Theodore

Four theatres were bombed during
