The proof of this lies in the ac-

The notion is desirous of know

Suppose There Were No
American Legion
ThOmas III. CIOugh

lnOHldS N. SlOuSH
Critics of The American Legion
are of two kinds; those who are
entitled to belong to the Legion,
by reason of their war service, but
do not, and those who are inelig-
ible for membership.
We may disagree with the sec
ond class in their reasoning, but
we must admit their right to their
opinion. With the first class, a
feeling of impatience is not IL
logical.
The ex-service man or woman,
who does not take advantage of
his privilege of joining The
American Legion but who carps
and criticizes from without is ana
logous to the American citizen who
rails at "dirty" politics and then
refuses to go to the polls to cast
his vote. 1t is obvious that if he
doesn't take enough interest in
his country to do his bit in run
ming it he has no right to resent
mismanagement of it's affairs.
The American Legion is rep
resentative, democratic organiza-
ton. Its policies are those of the
! majority of it's paid-up, active
members. If any group is dissat-
isfied with the policies, it is its
minority right to register vigor-
Gus protest and to try to win 9TH
ers to it's way of thinking. If any
eligible don't like the way the Le-
gion is run, get in and try to run
it your way. If you do like the
way it is run, get in and help keep
it in the path you approve.
Not that all of the men who do
not belong to The American Le-
gion and who are entitled to MEM
bership-are critics of it's policies.
Most of them merely suffer from
inertia. They intend to belong
sometime, but they haven't got
around to it. These men should
recognize the good that The Amer
ican Legion has done; they should
realize how much of this good
would have been left undone had
there existed no such dominant or
ganization of the men who served.
Suppose there were no Ameri-
can Legion? The condition Of sick
and disabled comrades is a. matter
that lies close to the hearts of all
of us. What would be the situa-
tion of the sick and disabled today
if there had been no American Le-
gion in the past ten years since
signing of the Armistice? What if

The American Legion should do
SO and help to keep it the one big
outfit. If there were no such or
ganizations veterans everywhere
would be dissatisfied. They would
bemoan its absence. But it does
exist, vital, virtile and militant. 1t

million fighters in its ranks. They
need to be in. If they approve,

So she had promised, and for six
months she had kept her promise,
while the neighbors concluded that
the Carson girl was "a bit off,"
On this Christmas eve, from her
pinnacle of sublime loftiness, she
watched the last red rays pour
out over the bluish-white snow,
touching the color tattered rem
nants of cloud afioat in the west
ern sky. She wondered if it could
be possible that her yearnings
were in some way reaching her
lover, strengthening his heart for
the fight with the wealth and pride
of his family.
Suddenly her reverie was inter-
rupted by the sound of sleigh
bells on the road at the foot of the.
hill. A team and cutter were
swinging sharply southward thru
the gathering dusk. AS she watch
ed, the horses were reined in, the
cutter stopped, one of the two
occupants got out, and a man
came running toward her. The
next moment she was in his arms,
breathless, laughing, almost too
excited to speak.

he cried, eff only we made it on
time"
"But tell me, Fred, how does it
come. Explain" she managed at
length.
Il will-at the house," he an
swered.
"Come"
She hesitated, and a shadow
swept her glowing face. "You
know what my people think" she
reminded him.
81 know what they thought" he
laughed. "They thought that be-
cause l was rich I could not be
serious. But when they hear how
l have lost all my money"
"Lost your money!" she echc/d.
"Does it make any difference,
dear?"
"All the difference in the
world" she cried, exultantly.
"Now l can marry you, and no
one will say it is because you are
rich! But what about herr"
"At the house," was all he
would answer. He seized her arm,
and together like children they
rushed down the hill.
''It was like this" he explained,
to the assembled Carson family
after supper. ''My father left me
a million or so and request that
l should ask Julia France to be
my wife. Uncles, aunts, cousins,
my mother-everybody interpret
ed that request as a command. 1T
was such a suitable match they
said. Julia, it seemed, shared that
opinion.
81 delayed my proposal until I
could think it over, and one day
just at sunset, came a bright idea.
Perhaps it started on Knob hill"
He glanced appreciatively at Clare,
who blushed, but kept her counsel.
"Then l rushed to my broker"

American Golfers Have
Hard Luck in ENGLAND

Out of the scores of Americans,
men and women. who have played in
the British amateur golf tournaments
only two, the Australian-born Walter
j. Travis and Jesse Sweetser, have
triumphed. writes Ralph Cannon in
the Chicago Journal.
England has had little better luck
over here, although Harold Hilton
won the mems amateur title in 1911,
while Miss Dorothy Campbell, now
Mrs. Hurt, took the women's laurels
in 1900 and 1910, and Mrs. Temple
Dobell, one of Miss Collects victims
in the present British tourney, was
champion of America in 1913, when
she was Miss Gladys Ravenscroft.
Two of Britain's greatest stars met
defeat on American links in especially
notable matches. Hilton, returning in
1912 in quest of his second straight
mems title, was knocked out in the
very first round by Charles G. Waldo,
Jr., who never entered the ranks of
champions.
Nine years later Miss Cecil Leitch,
at that time queen of the links in
Britain, tried for the American wom-
ems hOnOrs and after winning her first
match was defeated in the second
round by Mrs. f. G. Let's, Jr., 1 up.
In that same tournament, in 1921.
Miss Collett was eliminated by Miss
Edith Leitch, sister of the British
champion, but Edith Leitch fell later

Causes of Failures to
Secure Alfalfa Stand

Failures to secure stands of alfalfa
on reseeding may be due to several
causes, farmers interested In new
seedlings are being advised. Young
alfalfa needs firm, moist seed bed
that has been as carefully prepared as
for sugar beets, according TO Alvin
KeZer, agronomist of the Colorado ex-
pertinent station. For that reason the
crop often is started more readily on
land that has been previously In a
cultivated crop that has left the soil
in a good physical condition. Some
failures to secure stands of alfalfa
may be due to the lack of organic
matter in the soil which is sometimes
evident on heavy soils that "run to-
gether."
Alfalfa makes the best growth when
planted fairly early in the season and
not over one inch deep on heavy soils.
The seed must come in contact with
which sometimes makes ii necessary
to furrow and irrigate the newly seed
ed ground. nurse crop Is particu-
larly valuable where the soil tends
either to crust or blow, Professor
Kezer points out. From one-half to
two-thirds of stand of the nurse
crop is sufficient Barley has proved
the best nurse crop all over Colorado.
particularly the variety known as
Colsess. Kanota, short-stemmed oat,
has proved very satisfactory in the
Arkansas valley. After the ground
has been planted the alfalfa, rather
than the nurse crop, should be favored
in the matter of irrigation. The small
grain will usually take care of itself
as long as the young alfalfa is in good
condition. The alfalfa should be irri-
gated as soon after the nurse crop is
harvested as possible.

Dry-Lot Feeding and Fat
tening on Grass Are Two
Methods Used.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
In "Feeding Cattle for Beef" which
has just been published by the United
States Department of Agriculture as
Farmers Bulletin 1549-F, w. 81.
Black of the bureau of animal indus
try offers in 16 pages condensed and
simplfied analysis of practices In
feeding cattle, which have been tested
in the feed lots and pastures. 1t Is
intended primarily as an aid to farm
ers who have not had wide experience
in finishing cattle for the market, but
1t is believed the bulletin will be no
less valuable to experienced feeders in
checking their established methods.
Knowing Market Trends.
Since the net returns from cattle
feeding constitute the real basis for
measuring success in the fattening of
cattle, the author points out the de-
STABILITY of knowing the market
trends by seasons and for term OF
years. This knowledge, plus an exam
ination of the kinds and qualities OF
feeds and roughages on the farm, will
in large measure determine when to
buy feeders and what sort TO buy.
Dry-lot feeding and fattening on
grass are the two methods of finish
ing cattle for market 1t often pays
to feed grain supplements to cattle
on grass TO gain better finish at an
earlier date when the market is likely
to be higher for such grades. In re-
cent years the demand for smaller
cuts of high quality meat has favored
the practice of feeding calves literally
and selling them as fat yearlings.
Quotations from the bulletin will indi-
cate its scope:
approximately rs per cent of the
fertilizing constituents of feeds fed to
live stock is returned in the manure"
"Most cattle feeders take 1t as q
matter of course that cattle feeding
cannot be made a successful enter
prise without having hogs in the feed
lot"
"Such feeds as milo, kafir and bar
ley should be ground"
"The higher the grade, or quality Of
the feeder the more economical will
be its use of feed"
"When feeders are relatively cheap
and feeds high, cattle possessing con-
siderable fat are preferable"
Finishing on Grass.
"If cattle are to be finished on
grass, and If there is sufficient rough
age to carry them through the winter,
the feeders should be purchased in the
fall. Buying feeders i'm the spring for
finishing on grass the following sum-
mer should be limited to cattle that
are fairly mature.
"Dry rations are now usually asso-
ciated with short feeding periods and
with feeder cattle over 800 pounds in
weight. Silage rations are used more
in long feeding periods with the light
er feeders"
