LEGION WARNING OF FAKES Alleged Veterans' Publications Ueed to Appeal to Sympathy of Patriotic Citizens. ,. The sale of fake "veteran" magazines and publications has cost the public more than $5,000,000 within a period of fourteen months, according to Information received by the American Legion which has Issued a warning against the operations of promoters of the spurious publications. Publishers often use the name "reteran" to persuade the public that lormer service men get part of the proceeds of sales. Their salesmen do not hesitate to use the disabled and wounded plea. Investigations by the Legion and other Veterans' organizations and the Department of Justice have disclosed that entire proceeds of publications go Into the pockets of persons who did not serve in the war, and who capitalize the patriotism of the American public and the reputation of World war fighters to enrich themselves. Salesmen often peddle the publications with the plea of "help ; "proceeds help disabled men" ; "wounded myself In France, and cannot get a job." In some cases It was found to be the "game" for publishers to disown agents soliciting advance Other agents were subscriptions. found to have bought and worn ""wound buttons" from private concerns. Many peddlers who have been arrested admitted that they were not former service men. By using the " "help - the - boys - who - f plea, they have disposed of magazines, some at 25 cents a copy, their profit Tanging from 17 to 19 cents.' In a number of cases salesmen have represented their publications as Indorsed by the American Legion, which Is untrue. American Legion posts In all sections of the country are urged to give publicity to these fakes lu order to protect patriotic citizens In their communities. Miss Louise Wells of Chicago has been president of the Women's Overseas Service leugue, known as the little sister of the American Legion because many Legion women are also members of the league, makbetween ing for closer the two organizations. Members of the league were the Army and Red Cross nurses, Salvation Army lassies, the "X" girls, signal corps girls, canteeners, librarians and entertainers who served America's fighting men In France. Muny were gassed and wounded and more than 150 of them died of such plagues as trench fever and Influenza. A few were killed In action. Miss Wells entered the service from Los Angeles. She is the daughter of Arthur G. Wells, vice president of the Santa Fe railroad. After serving at of World War and British Legion Now Are "Comrades in Peace." Veterans Closer between veterans of the World war of the United States and Great Britain is indicated by the fact that the American Legion was represented at the annual convention of the British Legion and at the biennial meeting of the British Empire Service League. Replying to a message sent by Alvln Owsley, American Legion national commander, to the British Legion, Sir Douglas Halg, head of the British organization, said : "It seemed to me that your splendid words found an echo In the hearts of everyone present. To your wish, 'Let us be comrades In peace,' I hasten to assure you that that Is the sincere wish lit every member of the British Legion. The aims of our respective Legions seem to be Identical for all practical purposes and I hope that by some means we English-speakinmen may become more closely affiliated. Please convey to your colleagues of the American Legion the heartfelt thanks of the British Lefclon for your assurance of fellowship, which we cordially reciprocate."

Rescue Ship Starts for Wrangel Island An expedition to rescue Allan Crawford of Toronto and his little band of British explorers who raised the British flag on Wrangel Island In 1920, has sailed from Nome, Alaska, In the Donaldson, a refitted trading vessel, under command of Harold Noize (portrait herewith). The first stop Is to be In Kotzebu sound, where a crack dog team will be obtained. From there a direct course to Wrangel Island will be steered. If the Donaldson Is blocked by Ice, Mr. Nolze plans to proceed with a party of four Eskimos over the Ice pack to Wrangel island. In 1&21 Vllhjalmur Stefansson, who long had recognized the value of Wrangel Island, an uninhabited Island 75 miles long and 30 wide, lying 90 miles off the coast of Siberia, In the Arctic ocean, as a base for airplane and radio work at well as for fur trapping, sent a party of four white men to establish a colony upon the Island and thereby reinstate British claims of ownership. Crawford's companions are Loren Knight of McMinnville, Ore.. Frederick Maurer of New Philadelphia, O., and Milton Gall of New Braunfels, Tex.

This amount of butterfat is equal to 1,686.69 pounds of butter. This production surpasses the former world record held by another Canadian Holsteln cow by 5 pounds of butter. Because of her previous high records of production, "Dixie" was placed on strictly official test, supervised bj Hol-stel- , t, d city-reare- d cousins. "That is a state system of highways, such as the project proposed for Kansas, which would Include 6,575 miles of road that could be traveled 365 days a year, without one cent of additional cost to the taxpayers. "One of the principal causes of the pull of the cities is the unimproved or only slightly Improved roads which are an effectual barrier between the farmer, his wife and children and the undoubted pleasure and gayety that the city and towta life offers. With the advent of the automobile this barrier was In a way removed, but rain and bad weather promptly replaces It periodically. "This project to break down the last barrier between the farm and city In Kansas Includes the passage of a bill, at the next legislature, submitting to the people of Kansas a proposition authorizing a state system of highways to be paid for by the funds raised annually by the present automobile license fees. "The plan also includes removal of the automobile from the personal property tax list. This feature in Itself would tend to reduce the taxes of every automobile owner and give Kansas an Improved system of y roads, touching every county and every important trade center in the state." hard-surface- d 305-da- Br XL . ; - v V DsKol Pius Scgus Dixie.

"Long strides have been made In Improvement of roads In the United States," he said, "but the building program of the country has scarcely been dented. The federal government gives a little more than 6 per cent of aid to states and localities In meeting the expenses of Improving roads. Since 1910 the bureau of public roads has undertaken a program of 180,000 miles of road Improvement help. "Throughout the United States last year a total of $976,OO0,Out was spent by the federal government, the states, counties, and municipalities in building and Improving roads. There are 2,800,-00- 0 miles of roads In this country, of which 2,500,000 miles remain to be Improved. "Building of good automobile roads will not hurt railroads but will help them. Statistics In band will disprove the contention held by some that states expending funds for motor roads are spending money for the benefit of the country at large rather than for the states themselves. "Most of the traffic Is local, that la within the state. Take the case of Connecticut, for Instance. There the traffic on the highways Is 70 per cent local. That is, It Is traffic confined wtthla the state's borders, giving the state the largest benefit of Its road Improvement. In general, we have found that 35 per cent of the road traffic on automobile highways Is truck or short-hatraffic and that 65 per cent Is pleasure. But the bulk of traffic remains within state boundaries." Mac-Donal- d, ul Hard Roads Movement Is Gaining in Popularity The hard roada movement la gathering power as It moves. T. C. Powell, vice president of the Erie Railroad Co., Is reported to have said, "The time has come when the nation's railroad facilities are so heavily taved by the enormous tonnage offered that there Is only one way In which we may get freight hauled. And that la by inking business men to employ motor trucks for the short hauls, say, up to thirty miles or so, thus releasing railroad facilities and equipment for the longer haul which can go by no other means."

Fat production by the average dairy cow increases till she has passed her seventh year, reaches Its peak before the end of her eighth year and then This fundamental gradually decline truth In farming science was discovered recently by O. W. Turner, a teacher In the dairy department of the Missouri College of Agriculture, This conclusion waa reached only after Turner had worked out the relation between the age and the yearly fat production of more than 46,000 dairy cows. The data Included all the yearly fat records available of pure bred dairy cows In the United States. This Is the first time an Intensive compilation of this sort has been carried out. The value of this Information lies In knowing what production may be expected of a cow at a certain age. For example, if a farmer knows the prescow ent production of a and wishes to estimate what she will be worth to him In five years, he will have ao authoritative table which he may consult A yearling produces 64.6 per cent compared to a cow at maturity ; a 78.6 per cent; a 84 per cent; a 90 95 per cent, per cent; a 99 per cent. After and a seven years the decline In production Is gradual. Of the total number of records examined, 13,723 were Jersey cows; 13,. 599 Guernseys; 12,504 Holstelns; fv 162 Ayrshire, and 1,014 Milking Shorthorns, d, three-year-ol- Increase of Butterfat Is Not Made by Feeding According to experimental work that has been done, the percentage of fat In milk cannot be Increased by feeding. The milk of each Individual cow aeems to have a fixed composition that Is natural to her. True, the richness of the milk may be Increased or decreased for a short time If the cow's digestive system Is disturbed by slck ness or Improper feeding, but will return to the normal test Is a short time. The quantity of milk may easily vary with feeding, consequently the total pounds of butterfat would be Increased without variation In the test. By having a cow In high flesh at the time of freshening, the test may be ralsnd for idnou the supposition being that the body fit (fl drawn upon, short time, but It only lasts for when the test returns to the point peculiar to the Individual. Pointers for Selection of Improved Dairy Cow One or two signs tell s good cow. In a poor cow the thigh runs down straight, so tbre Is no plsce between the thigh and the ndder on one side and the tsll on the other. There should be prenty of daylight between the odder ami the tall. One of the best ways to tell what kind of a cow yon have la by her temperament. A good dairy typ has a sharp Spine, and sharp hip bones. A good cow has stomach. Urge wedge-shape- d |
