MISSOURIANS CONDEMN BAKER. (By United Press.) - Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 10.—Mis- souri’s American Legion delegation to the Minneapolis national conven- tion, opening today, stands for con- demnation of the war department for its treatment of slackers and conscientious objectors after the war closed, and for immediate deporta- tion of undesirables. This was de- cided on at the state meeting here October 7th. . Missouri will have fourteen votes in the convention. Sixteen delegates elected from the congressional dis- tricts and six delegates at large com- posed the state’s contingent to the meeting. TO FIGHT OUT BONUS. (By United Press.) Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 10.—Lead- ers of the New York delegation to the national convention at Minne- apolis will lead a fight to prevent the legion from endorsing a demand for an additional bonus to soldiers, they announced before leaving for the west. Losing the first skirmish in state convention here to prevent adoption of the provision, the men opposing the bonus declared if the voting had { been on a basis of actual representa- ;+ tion by counties the resolution would y have been defeated. They pointed : out that while New York county had . 40 per cent of the state’s legion mem- ;' bership, the county cast only 11 votes of the 175. New York’s delegates will = urge stricter immigration laws; divorce of ' politics from the legion; government . provision for disabled soldiers and !departation for undesirables. ! DEMAND IMMIGRATION STOP. ¥ (By United Press.) Portland, Ore., Nov. 10.—Absolute prohibition of immigration to the United States for two years and de- portation of aliens who sought ex- emption from war service are the main planks in the platform Oregon’s delegates to the Minneapolis Ameri- can Legion will stand on. Twenty-one -..accredited delegates will represent Oregon’s war veterans at the convention. They have Joined ‘Washington’s delegates in the cam- paign to obtain the next national convention for Seattle. Chicago, Nov. 10.—Potato I Bemidjif | Market Quotations Prior rights to land grants for ex- service men, payment of war-risk in- surance in a lump sum, and discon- tinuance of use of a geography text book in schools alleged to contain laudatory remarks regarding the former German government, were other resolutions adopted for pre- sentation to the national convention. ANTI-ALIEN LAND LAW. (By United Press.) San Francisco, Cal.,, Nov. 10.—A national anti-alien law that would prohibit persons not eligible to Amer- ican citizenship from owning or leas: ing land will be the main resolution which the California delegates to the national convéntion of the American Legion at Minneapolis will fight for. The proposed law is based on the present California anti-alien land laws which prohibit orientals from owning land in the state, but its pro- visions are even more strict in inter- pretation. Other recommendations that will be made to the national convention are: A resolution asking withdrawal of American troops from Siberia; a resolution calling for a standing army of 350,000; approval- of compulsory military training for six months of all youths in their nineteenth year. Sixteen delegates went as repre- sentatives of the eleven congressional districts, while four were selected at large. ALIENS NOW CITIZENS. (By United Press.)

They were talking about pies and discussing which was the best, and, what we gathered from the cheerful controversy, all were the best. The person who stood up for the good old apple pie was just as eloquent in his references to the peach or pump- kin ple. In fact, each person would hurry through the praise of one kind of pie in order to champion another, which convinced us that of all the varieties of food in this world the pie 18 the blessedest. Sometimes you will ind a man who doesn’t eat pie, but watch him. Ple is a remedy for many distempers. We one time cured a ferocious sick head- ache with a quarter of mince pie, and that, too, on the advice of a physician. One of the party never heard of a mulberry pie, and what a barren life she must have led. We are through with the cherry pie era and with what joy it has filled the world! We come to the berry era, and first of ‘all there I8 the huckleberry pie, which berry has rescped from sunshine and sofl all’| || the grace of the earth. If a man does not like a huckleberry ple, it is be- cause the ple or himself has not been well“made. The black raspberry pie stands away up on the snowy peaks of perfection and for picnic purposes it is ‘unparalleled. When we eat raspberry pie in the woods we feel that fthe Dryads are feeding us from their lily white hands. There are other glorious. ples, of course, but we must have room tosay that the glory of a pie is in the.grace and charm of the cook. The pagiry depepdu' upon her temper, and the pas- try is three-fourths of a ple. If we were going to get married again, we would arrange a pastry-making eon- test, and the damsel that made the best pastry we would marry—if we could.—Ohio State Journal. MANY FAIRIES IN GREEN. ISLE Idea That the Gnomes Have Dis. appearcd Is Declared to Be A'together Erronceous. There still are fairies In Irelard, de- clnres the Ulster [Folklore, which ex- piains by saying: To many. perhaps, this s*atement will be really news. Of course, anyone who has never taken any fntere=t in the matter at all knows that ‘o the days gone by there were plenty of them from oue end of the green isle 'o the other—ar2 aot their old haun:s, the thorn bushes, their raths, forts. coves and souterraines still to be feund in every corner of Ireland just as they have existed since time out of mind? But it has been the general belief that the fairies theraselves long ago, In one fashion or ancther, had for- saken or been driven from their se- cret places, the last hegira being placed at as modern a period as the middle of the nineteenth century-—the night of the big wind, in fact when they were all supposed to have beem blown into the sea with the exceptiom of a few that landed in Scotland. The error of that belief, however, has been scientifically ascertained in a series of Investigations pursued by Miss Elizabeth Andrews, F. R. A. L, for a decade or so. “The belief is general,” Miss An. drews says, “that these little people were at one time very numerous throughout the country, but have now disappeared from many of their for- mer haunts. At Ballynahinch I was told they had been blown away-50 years ago by a great storm, and the caretaker at Killevy said they had gone to Scotland. They are, however, supposed still to inhabit the more re- .| mote parts of the country, and the old people have many stories of fairy vis- itors and of what happened in their own youth and in the time of their fathers and grandfathers.” T00 LATE TO CLASSIFY The rate for want ads may be found at heading of reg- ular classified department.

According to the announcement of State Forester Besley-of Mary- 1 land chestnuts will be scarde this year, and he also predicts that the] chestnut tree and its fruit will some day be but a memory. In the vicinity of Baltimore the chestnut crop is negligible. The fine groves that once were found in this section of the country have all but disappeared, following the rav- ages of the blight, and, according to the state forester, this will eventual- ll| Iy be the fate of the chestnut wherever it grows. There is no remedy for the strange disease. The only hope is the mountain regions of the western part of the state. The blight is spreading all too rapidly in that direction, but as yet the region west of Hagerstown is still in pretty good condition, acoording to Mr. Besley. He reports, however, that the blight was discovered by him this season in Garret county. It is said to be a product of China and is supposed to have been imported to this country on some specimens of Chinese chestnuts which were plant- ed in the vicinity of Long Island. State and national experts have worked on the problem unceasingly. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE DAILY PIONEER MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1919 ONE LINE OF TREATY. Official Washington is puzzling its head to interpret one line of the treaty with Austria, which provides for the “return of a'certain object ta Poland.” Further than that the ob- ject is not identified, although every other thing which Austria is sup- posed to return is described in de- tail. The “object” may be a king’s shin bone, a royal egg beater, a bot- tle of Paderewski’s hair oil or al- most anything else you choose ‘o mention. ’ Thirty-Two Varieties.

Apostle spoons, also called ‘“gossip spoons,” were gllt spoons given by the sponsors or “gossips” to a child at its christening. They were so called be- cause each spoon had a figure of an apostle on the handle. Wealthy peo- ple gave the whole twelve Apostles; those of less means and generosity gave the four Evangelists; while poor- er persons had to be contented with one, being generally the figure of the donor’s or of the child’s patron saint.
