This fact apparently lias little meaning, but the truth Is, that by the acceptance of this institution the bureau is provided with one of the most adequately equipped and best adapted Institutions the nation. The sanltorlum Is near Kerrville, Tex., where it was built mainly through the activity of the American Legion of the Lone Star state. The official station Is now designated as Legion, having received this name from the Iost Office department. Four years ago a construction wagon could not mount the hill on the present site of this hospital until brush had been chopped away. Today there stands one of the handsomest hospitals In the country. It was started primarily for AAorld war disabled. The Roosevelt American Legion hospital, near Battle Creek, Mich., Is the only other which was erected by veterans for the veterans. But there was a specific reason for building tills Texas hospital. Many soldiers contracted tuberculosis during the World war and It was erected for their care. The money for the building was raised by popular subscription and the project became one nearest the hearts of Texas citizens. A site was donated by the citizens of Kerrville, approximating 800 acres. By the end of 1920, the power and subsistence buildings had been erected and two ward buildings were well under way. But the country was bard hit In return to In public-spirite- d Miss Mary Price. for the championship of West Virginia was pulled off between Mike Then Keurney and Freddie Dunlop. there was a curtain raiser.

Miss Mary figured up the cash statistics and found that her post was the gainer by $2,000 which went Into a clubhouse fund. She staged two other bouts and was .n the midst of negotiating for a finish battle between Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, and Johnny Dundee, Leonards business partner, when national headquarters of the Legion heard about her. Forthwith the young lady was called to Indianapolis, where she assumed secretarial responsibility In the finance division. She is a Legion enthusiast, and whenever her post gets behind or needs money stie's going back and put on another bout. She says so, and she ought to know.

Tri-Stat- W arned Sam, while walking In the woods late one afternoon, was surprised by a wildcat which proceeded to chase him to the top limbs of a large oak tree on the edge of a deep canyon.

Many pledges remained unpaid, so the Legion sought the aid of the Benevolent AVar Risk Society of Texas, In the hope that the people would complete tli projected buildings. In the early part of 1921, the state legislature came to the aid of the Legionnaires and $1,500,000 was appropriated for erection of a 600-behospital where the Legions work had begun. The Legion then donated its entire holdings to the state. The administration building, having a ground area of 58 by 94 feet, Is one of the handsomest buildings of the lot, a beautiful piece of brick work, finished with cut stone from the quarries of the site. The nurses home Is another of the showy buildings of the little city on a hill. The brick dormitories, of which there are eight, five of two stories; added to these are the two original stucco dormitories, making ten buildings In all. The buildings are designed so that each patient has a private room, with every modern convenience, and each of the ward buildings has Its screened porch anil sun parlor. The interiors of these buildings are finished In white enamel and tile, with carpeting of battleship linoleum. The Infirmary Is the largest and most attractive building of the group. It Is 140 by 293 feet and Is two stories high. It Is designed ns an infirmary for the treatment of bedridden patients, and is equipped with everything conceivable for the successful treatment of such patients. One of the most important pieces of construction in the whole scheme Is the concrete and steel water tower. This structure stands 93 feet In height and Is surmounted by a concrete tank 28 feet 8 Inches in diameter and 29 feet In height. The capacity Is approximately 100,000 gallons. Other buildings are the vocational therapy building, garage, four Junior officers duplex cottages, storehouse, warehouse, oil pumphouse, fuel oil storage tanks.

Formation hert of the New National Farmer-Labo- r party makes the second national organization of similar name in existence, while in Minnesota there is a state farmer-labo- r party independent of both national groups Confusion in the use of farmer-labo- r by these groups while there is no official relationship among them, is bound to result, leaders of the state organization said here in speculation as to the probable effect the new National Farmer Labor party would have on state politics The state party did not indorse the convention here last week and the faction headed by F. A. Pike, state chairman, denounced it and refused to participate in its deliberations, but the group headed by AVilliam Mahoney of St. Paul took a prominent part in the gathering. Mahoney i3 a member of the national committee. Several leaders in the state organization have said they feared the state party would lose votes in the fall election due to the adoption of the Farmer-Labo- r name, by the convention here, as many of the party might vote other tickets through confusion in party lines. Many state Farmer-Lab- o rites are b.tterly opposed to the communist-controlle- d national party formed here one leader said, and they may mistakenly think some of the state Farmer-Labo- r candidates in the fall elections are affiliated with the na tional party and accordingly vote for someone else. With its origin in the League, a name aban doned in Minnesota state politics for party designation in the 1918 election, the Farmer-Labo- r party has spread from this state to many other states, continuing in Minnesota as a majorty party. Both Minnesota senators are members of the state party. In 1920, the state party continued to function as such, and in the same year, the committee of forty-eigmeeting in Chicago, but without official representation from the Minnesota party, organized the Farmtr-Labo- r party of the United States ana placed Parley P. Christensen of Salt Lake in the field as its presidential candidate. In Minnesota, however, the state Farmer-Labo- r party has the only legal right to use that name, and Christensens name did not appear on the Minnesotas electors lists. This year, however, the state organization plans to hold a state convention, indorse a presidential candidate, and nominate electors for the Non-Partisa- n ht Nov-vemb- ballot.
