OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY \PROCEEDINGS e _ LEGION ON GUARD s ; .~ . 'A"sinister campaign of propaganda is being carried on in the United States to discredit the cause 'of the allied nations, of which America was one—to show, if possible, that the ends of justice are not being served by the.effonts to hold the centrgl . powers responsible for their war deeds. .“Whether Germany is asked to pay more than she is able to pay i a matter that shquld - Be demonstrated by results rather than by academic discussion. It is certain that no sum-which could be exacted from her would be full compensation for the misery and desolation she brought upon the world in her role as would-be conqueror. 1 The American Legion is not deceived by efforts of t]:ne : ‘hyphenated press and other interests in the United States. to.d:_s- 4 credit the work of the American soldier, even.though,thl.s is ] attempted by discrediting the nations with which the United States was united in the war. The same interests which sotight, before the United States entered the war,: to show the American people that Prussianism was being m;srepresentgd, that Ger- many was not guilty of the crimes charged against her, con- tinued that effort in a more subtle way during the war, and re- _cently the poisonous gas of anti-allied propagandd is being IN THE LEGISLATURE The members of the legislature learned many facts when they spent a large portion ¢f © day visiring they University of Minnes Presider?, Coffman and membars of the board of regents effectively presenied the emergency needs of the state’s great educational institutioa. As a result it is probpble an inierim commission’] will be as follows: ' * . “The. anti-futures bill, ‘prohibiting trading in grain futures, passed-by a vote of 50 to 11, defines ‘‘gambling’” in ‘grain as an agreement wherein the actual delivery of the commodity sold is not, in good faith, contemplat- ed or intended by the contracting parties. The public markets bill, passed by a vote of 47 to 14, declares all grain exchanges and live stock exchanges of the state open markets and re- quiring -them to admit to:member- ship co-operative associations of ev- ery nature. Some question of the constitutionality of this measure was raised. ] The bill for the re-establishment of “Minnesota”’ grades which. were for a time set aside by the federal grades of grain—passed 57 to 1—is said to make probable much ‘confusion in grading at Minnesota terminals, with two systems of graGing. ‘A rural credits system, framed aft- | er the existing system of South Da- Kota, is provided for in'the bill passed without a’ dissenting' vote providing for a constitutional amendment to be submitted to the people next year. ‘The probability of deep cutting in the appropriations being .demanded for the various departments of the used, in the hope that a-feeling of antagonism may be created| iate, was forecast in a statement by between the United States and the allies. ’ . Every. patriotic American should nail attempts to discredit the part of the United States in the war, or to bring about ‘a condition that would alienate this country from tl}e nations whose soldiers fought side by side with Americans in Europe. i S e AMERICANIZATION - Representatives of 80 civic and patriotic orggnizations en- gaged in Americanization work in Washington this week form- ed the National American council. The purpose of this con- solidated organization is to co-operate more effectively in car- rying on the work of education in American principles and to reduce the waste of effort caused by duplication and the many 3 appeals that are made to the public for financial support. i The constitution adopted limits the activities of -the coun- : cil to the promotion of education for patriotism and good citi- zenship dnd forbids its entering economic, industrial, sectarian or partisan political fields. Not only will the council direct its efforts toward education-along American lines but its influence will be used to overcome unstabling propaganda that is being spread throughout the country in the interests of Germany, Ire- land and other “causes” foreign to the United States. ——o0: } : IMMIGRATION "o Commissioner General of Immigration Husband has taken upon himself the task of trying to divert large numbers of im- migrants from the cities and industrial centers to'the agricul- tural regions of the United States, with the object of giving aliens a better opportunity than they would have,in the crowded sections. . . While there are no longer large tracts of fertile govern- ment lind available to settlers, there is much that could be made productive by drainage or by irrigation, and the government is proceeding to reclaim some of this land. ‘Any plan for restricting immigration and for selecting de- sirable newcomers to the United States would appear to oper- 4 ate more effectively in the foreign ports than at Ellis island. Many aliens are refused admission for various reasons, and they lose much and are disappointed by their failure to enter this country. No immigrant should be permitted to sail for this country who cannot qualify for entrance. b _ The departments of the interior, agriculture and labor are | 4 expected to co-operate with Commissioner Husband in his plan 3 to dive;t immigrants to the farms. It is a move that deserves t succeed, . ) AT, o AL INGLORIOUS WAR Death rained from the sky is the promise of the chemical . warfare service of the United States army. 'A-liquid.recently & discovered kills any human being it touches. Three drops com- ing into contact with any surface of the body is sufficient to"pro- duce death. Sprayed from nozzles attached to aircraft, this liquid would devastate vast areas. § = A triumph of science. Coincidentally, the chemical war- fare service is developing protective clothing entirely to cover the wearer and make him impervious to the deadly fluid. 'A nice problem- calculated to restore the status quo. With the © completion of the cycle a little 'more progress will have been made toward the utter abolition of all glory and pomp and glamor from war. Gone are the glistening coat of mail;-the gleaming helmet and brilliant uniform.. The modern soldier is to be treated, as . the burrowing pests of the field:and to-be sprayed-out of Xist- ence like vermin. How glorious is warfare! & R, 0 i MAKING “TIPPING” A CRIME Yo ; v.The old .prpblem of the “tipping evil’” has been revived again by a bill introduced in the West Virginia legislature to ness.

He warned par- ticularly against the tendency to- ward extending governmental func- tions into activities that are. essen- tially the affairs of private business, or community concern. The state income tax amendment to constitution which was voted down by the people in 1920, has again been made a live issue through the action of the house, which passed a bill by a vote of 95 to 5 for resubmission. Both the senate and the house have bills for the registration of aliens. ‘When the “lid” went onto the leg- |islative hopper with-the .expization of the time iimit in which bills could be introduced by members of the leg- islature, the senate showed a total of 838 measures and the house 1,079. The bill for adjournment April 9 is now in the hands of the house rules Under ‘the usual rules of procedure adjournment. would come about two weeks later than this.date. Woed Carving Came From Egypt. ‘Wood carving was common in very early Egyptian sculpture. Some of the most realistic statues of the ancient empire -were carved in wood, such as the so-called “Sheikh-el-Beled” and his wife, and a number of others. Wood .was a convenient ground for polychro- matic decoration; that is, treating the carved figure with a thin coating of plaster upon which the artist placed his colors, This art was very popular with Egyptian artists. In Greece wood carving -probably. was the earliest form of archaie sculpture. The later Greeks and Romans used it compara- tively little, but among the most re- markable works of early Christian sculpture are the carved wooden doors ‘of Santa-Sabina, Rome.

After disinfecting the potatoes put them in clean bins, sacks, baskets or other containers to avoid contamination. After the potatoes have Deen plant- ed, keep the weeds down and give the plot a little extra attention in the matter of cultivation, spraying and inspection ‘for undesirable plants, which should be removed so - that when digging tithe comes a first-class crop of seed potatges can be harvest- ed for mext year's field intended for certification. ¥ % HE HAD TO FIGHT FOR: HIS BREATH St. Paul Man’s Troubles End After Taking Tanlac—Feels Fine, ATl the Time “Tanlac has simply made a new man 6f me and I.now feel as strong and can do-’miy work with as much vim as T could ten years ago,” said Albert Schmidt,: employe of the St. Paul Athletie-club; who lives‘at 225 ‘West Sewentlostreet; St. Paul, Minn. “ hadbeen suffering froma stom- achi trouble fer ' two “years:or. more and Tanlac,was the only/thing I ever got hold of tigive.me relief. 1 wasi told I:was suffering from an zcid stomach.: My digestion was poor, my food. would. 1ie in-my stomach like lead and 1'would have such a full, bloated' feeling that often I would have te fight~for-my breath. “At oth- er times L -would ghaye pains in my (dneys that would almost .bénd ‘me double.
