American Legion
Vets to Get Birch Bark Canoe
At Spring Conference

Lapel buttons bearing the slogan
"Be-Wid il. at Bemidji" will be
distributed to $500 Gopher Legion
and Legion Auxiliary leaders by
members of Ralph Oracle Post No.
IA, of Bemidji, the 1892 state con-
vention city, when the annual
spring conference of the American
Legion is held at Hotel Nicollet,
Minneapolis, April S-9.
"Bemidjis Lakes and Trails Are
Calling" Judge Ralph Bailey will
tell the conference, and to doubly
impress on their minds the posi-
bilities of Northern Minnesota as a
vacation land in conjunction with
their attendance at the State Le-
gion convention August 21-24, Be-
midi members will distribute SOU
venir birch bark canoes to the dele
gates.
Whereas the Bemidji state con-
vention will be the legislative body
of the Legion and it's Auxiliary for
1882, the annual spring conference
at Minneapolis On April SO is in the
nature of a get-together of three
post and three unit officers from
each of 1853 Minnesota communities,
Department Adjutant c. A. Zwiener
explains.
The idea of the annual spring
conference, Miss Blanche w. Seal
len, state Auxiliary secretary,
points out, is to give these leaders
an opportunity to exchange notes,
and to hear about the latest meth
DDS of helping the disabled and of
carrying on the general program,
including that of service to the
community. There will be schools
at which experts in each subject
will exemplify the best ways of in
surfing the success Of the activities
in which Legion posts and units are
interested.
"But all work and no play makes
Jack and Jill dull" Adjutant Zwien-
er states, $50 after studying at the
business sessions of Friday and
Saturday, the delegates and their
friends will conclude their confer
ence with a banquet, entertain
ment and dance on Saturday even
ing April 8 at Hotel Nicollet, with
national leaders as guest speakers"
Oscar F. Youngdahl, of Mime
apolis, commander of The American
Legion of Minnesota will preside
over the Legion conference meet
ings. Mrs. Halsey D. Cory, Vino
ma, the state Auxiliary president,
will be in charge of the Auxiliary
sessions. .rrgrr

The fourth class includes all

are neither in the state aid or coun-
ty aid class. Only part of the coun-
ties have any county roads which
are not in either Of these two
classes.
Outside the trunk highway sys-
tenn the surfaced" roads are most
ly gravel, there being only about ITO
miles of paved and 215 miles of
bituminous roads in the secondary
systems. In most cases gravel is
adequate for the traffic they carry.
In former years official reports
were compiled by the highway de-
partment on state aid and trunk
highways, and unofficial reports on
other roads by the U. S. Bureau
of Public Roads. A summary of
these reports a year ago showed
37,317 miles surfaced, out of total
of 11O.655 miles of roads Of all
classes.
The new figures still leave Mime
sofa in third place among the
states in total miles of surfaced
roads, but gaining rapidly on the
two states, Indiana and Ohio, which
have a larger mileage surfaced.
Most of the improvements on the
secondary roads in Minnesota have
been made since the trunk high
way plan was adopted in 1920. Since
that time the counties and town.
ships have been able to spend all
their funds, including the state aid,
on secondary roads. Nearly all the
other states require some local con-
tributions to the primary roads,
ranging all the way from furnishing
right-of-way to doing the major
part of the construction work and
in some cases maintenance also.

were much better farmers than the
Japanese. Through the intercept
ton of the Japanese an independent
government has been set up. The
officers are Chinese, but in every
instance there is a Jap back Of
them to advise, so in reality they
are merely rubber stamps.
Col. Kelly stated that of the num-
erous questions passed over to the
league of Nations for consideration
all were problems which the League
was hesitant to act on as they
would establish presidents which
conflict with the Latin-America
and other countries.
The Chinese boycott is a very
serious menace to Japan. This Is
what the Japs were endeavoring to
break. For over 1000 years prior
to the breaking out of the latest
trouble handful of Japanese SOL
diers would scatter whole regi-
ment of Chinese. There existed no
national loyalty. When the Japs
sent 5000 Marines into Shanghai
they expected the usual procedure
and were surprised at the stiff op-
position. Additional troops were
sent until Japan had $4,000 men in
the field. They finally. pushed the
Chinese back. He was confident
Japan would like to be out of
Shanghai if they could evacuate
without serious loss of prestige.
The end Of this great information
al drame, Col. Kelly predicted,
could not be foretold.
Col. Kelly stated that if more
than 3O0,OOO,OOO Chinese became
unified country inspired with pa
riotic loyalty they would control the
world.

sis. Every case comes from anoth-
er. This is the slogan of an inten-
sive campaign launched this week
throughout the state under the
auspices of the Minnesota Public
Health Association as a part of its
educational campaign to prevent
tuberculosis. This program forms a
part of a coast to coast concert
ed effort of Christmas Seal organ
izations to bring to light unknown
cases of tuberculosis and further
reduce the ravages of the disease.
Find the other case is the urgent
appeal that is being sent into every
community.
tuberculosis breeds tuberculosis.
One case comes from another, said
a bulletin from the National Tuber-
culosis Association. If every case
could be traced back to the case
that caused it, we should soon stop
the spread of the disease. Often
tuberculosis is spread by someone
who doesn't know he has it. When
one person in family is found to
have tuberculosis, all other mem
bers of the household and any
other persons who have been in
close contact should be examined.
Sometimes the carrier of the dis
ease is an unsupported member of
the family who is thought to have
merely chronic bronchitis. Until
this unknown case is found, and
the contact broken, this individual
is a danger.
Careless splitting, sneezing and
coughing are among the common
ways of spreading the disease. The
germs of tuberculosis are particul-
arly partial to children and every
effort should be made to protect
them from exposure to this disease.

secured from the Minnesota Public

World War.
April 10 to IS will be observed in

Quality of Minnesota Wool
State Pool Offers Cash Prizes for
Fleece Contest at the 4-H
Summer Camp

The old prospector's statement,
"Thar's gold in them thar hills
can be paraphrased to read "Thar's
gold in them thar fieeces," as the
result of the granting of substan-
tial cash awards for All club sheep
project members who enter the 10
county contest to be held in June
at the West Central school of agri-
culture at Morris. This contest will
develop into a statewide project
if sufficient interest is shown, says
the Minnesota Farm Bureau.
Each year the All club members
of ten counties adjacent to the
West Central school attend a club
encampment, where club lore is
taught. The coming encampment
will be featured by a fleece show,
with sheep project members enter
ing their fieeces for substantial
cash awards. -. .....si
The plan, as worked out by r. H.
Gibberson, assistant state All club
leader, and Alex Huddleston, presi-
dent of the Minnesota Cooperative
Wool Growers association, provides
that -$125 in prizes shall be dfstri-
buted. Each county will provide
$40 for general prizes and the Wool
Pool offers $25 for sweepstake
prizes. "a H.. ~ a..
If there is demand for these
fleece contests in other sections Of
the state, the Minnesota Wool Pool
will be glad to assist in arranging
for prize money, Mr.. Huddleston
informs the Minnesota Farm Bur
eau. A plan somewhat similar to
the Morris schedule has been car
ried out at Duluth for the past two
years. The object of the fleece
contests is to give farm boys and
girls practical knowledge of what
constitutes good, well-handled
fleece, and to raise the quality Of
Minnesota grown wool. -.

Last evening the Herald editor
interviewed Mayor-Elect DeLaurier
as to his policy for the coming adj
ministration. He said he did not in
tend to make any radical changes
in the existing conditions of the city
which are generally recognized as
quite satisfactory.
Upon being questioned as to the
chief of police situation the gentle
man stated emphatically that he
had not promised the position of
chief of police or night police di-
rectly or indirectly to any man or
body of men. He said he would go
into the qualifications of all can
didates before arriving at any de-
cision. Again and again he insist
ed that any claim made that any
man had been promised either one
or both of these positions was en-
tirely without foundation.
