"The Legion Forgot

Larry Rossman himself Legionnaire, found
this excuse the action the national convention
of the Legion at Milwaukee in connection with
in the following editorial in his Grand Rapids
ald-Review:
THE American Legion at its convention in
Milwaukee declared itself for war. 1t made known
its wish that neutrality acts be repealed and that
young men be sent to the carnage in Europe.
There are several reasons for such action
Many of the leaders of the Legion high admin
istraton officials and there is no doubt that the
administration at Washington is hungry for battle
AT the convention there were surroundings
favorable to sentiment bands, uniforms, parades
and stimulation of many kinds.
so it that the American Legion which had
heretofore declared itself in favor of peace, an
nounced its intention to support the measures Of
THE Legion simply forgot. Those at it's
vention did not think of the scores of thousands
of their fellow soldiers in hospitals and asylums
They forgot, because they themselves had survived
the loss and distress of killing conflict
THE Legion forgot the financial and economic
disorder that sprang out of the last for that
conflict is IS years back in the memory of men
The Legion failed to recall the fruitlessness
of failure of the last war. The men of the army
in those days played their own patriotic part well
That fact does not disguise the utter failure of

democracy

if another is fought they will not fight IT,

structive conflict"
The Milaca Times and the Park Region Echo

state statute in Minnesota similar to the one in
Wisconsin, where the sale of oeo is practically

Fish Caught-Hook,
Line, and Sinker-

Royalton-Fish stories are very
common but good fish stories are
very rare. Dave Hall who recent
ly fished near Langola tells one
of the better variety. Dawes cast
went across the river and caught
in a tree. While the line hung
over the branch it slackened and
the bait slipped into the river. A
pike Immediately snapped the bait
and Dave reeled the fish up into
the tree. There was nothing left
to do then but pull, so pull he did.
The branch broke, and he reeled
in hook, line, sinker, tree and fish.
Who's Afraid Of the
Big Black Bear???-
Askov-It isn't very often that
a bear drops in for an afternoon
call but that is just what Erwin
Krogh, farmer near Askov, found
in his farm yard about five o'clock
one afternoon recently. He dis
covered the animal in pursuit of
several calves so he promptly start
ed for the invader. When the
bear showed no respect for him,
Mr.. Krogh seized an ak from the
wood pile nearby but neither ad-
versary was willing to battle. The
situation was finally called a draw
when the bear retreated to the
woods. Mrs. Krogh, who had gone
to the neighbors for a rifle, ar
rived home too late for the final
round.

District Health Department with
the cooperation of public and pri-

DR.. George G. Rutland, health Of
flcer, declared the unusually high
death toll in the District as COM
pared with the country as a whole
emphasizes the need for an in
tensive educational effort, since GER
tain forms of cancer can be treated
successfully If diagnosis is made at
an early stage. The cancer death
rate here Is 1865 per 100000 popula-
ton, as compared with national
figure Of 117.8.
President Roosevelt and the Com
missioners have proclaimed April as
