Franklin D'Olier, who was elected national commander, requested comto lend Creviston to munity sen-icthe Legion. Creviston headed the organization division until September, 1920, when he became assistant na tional adjutant. When the first national adjutant Lemuel Bolles, resigned in January, 1924, Mr. Creviston was immediately appointed adjutant by John It. Qulnn. One of the pet projects of the natlonal adjutant is the development of the Legion in foreign lands. He has seen the lnestimnble value to the or ganization itself and to the nation as a whole of the existence of strong units of this great society of vet erans abroad.

Worm-Stunte- Porkers d Will Make Poor Showing d All pigs are poor doers from start to finish, but this Is especially true of fall pigs that have become Infested with these pests through filthy surroundings. If the fall porker goes into the winter In a stunted condition he most likely will finish the winter In that condition. Often It Is hard to arrange lots so that spring pigs can be raised on clean ground, but this is seldom true In the fall. Practically every farm has clean stubble fields or hay fields which, with their more or less abundant after s places for growths, make raising the fall pig crop. The important point to watch in try ing to raise a vigorous, healthy bunch of pigs is to see that they are kept confined to the clean pasture area.
