LEGION IN MINNESOTA FAS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL St. Paul, July 11.—.-“If there were no other reason for the existence of the American Legion than the battle for the care of the sick and disabled. that would be enough,” says Nation- al Commander Hanford MacNider, “and we intend to keep up. that bat- tle through the Legion’s entire ex- istence.” ‘While the confusion, red tape, short-sightedness, public ‘apathy and selfishness that = has contributed to the inefficiency of ministering to the disabled of the World war has suc- cumbed somewhat to the attack of the Legion, there are still thousands of veterans whose cases may, or may not, be traceable to military service, undergoing inexcusable suffering, in- sanity and death while the govern- ment hospital building program is delayed. Months ago the Minnesota de- partment of the Amcrican Legion, cognizant of the urgent nced for medical and surgical'care, minus red tape and technicalities but produc- tive of results, established an ar- rangement whereby ‘the secrvices of the Mayo clinic at Rochester were placed at the disposition of all for- mer service men and‘women. Where those seeking aid are, without means, all professional servi rendered are without charge.” ™ The idea grew ungil it became evi- dent-that a concreté“program of scrv- ice extending the bémefits offered to all sick and disabled veterans should be inaugurated. © The state executive committee then formulated a tenta- tive plan for the Minnesota Legion Memorial hospital which will be pre- sented to the state convention at Vir- ginia in August for final ratification. An unusuélly libéral policy is be- ing pursued by the Legion and the Mayo clinie. * Service is provided re- -gardless of the origin of the sickness or disability, and in all cases where patients are without financial means there are no charged. | JUDGING ROOT SYSTEM IS HARD PART OF STUMPING Assistant County Agent Edson Washburn finds in his travels about the county many 9xpcrt stump blasters, men who can instantly judge the root system of a stump and estimate closely the amount of power necessary to.remove it. Mr. Washburn, also land clearing man- ager, states that the hardest part of using explosives is to learn the characteristics of the root systems of different stumps and the soil in which they grow. ‘When this is learned the greatest part of the work is over, for the loading is only a detail of the blast- er's job. But it requires much ex- perience to learn the stumps’ hab- its of growing roots in different kinds of soil. Swan Tell, who is now clearing a portion of the A. A. Warfield farm on the Mississippi river, reports Mr. Washburn, seems to have those details in hand as well as anyone with whom he has come in-contact. FARM PAPER EDITORS TO BE GUESTS OF “U” Tarm paper editors’ of Minnesota and other states<have-been invited by the university department of agri- culture to be its guests on a tour of inspection of substations and branch ‘schools betwéen ‘tho dates of July 15 and_26.

MICHIGAN PAYS PIPER FOR TIMBER DEBAUCH ‘Washington, Michigan’s wood-using industries are now paying the economic piper for the state’s quarter . century timber debauch, according to a statement just issued by the Forest Serviee of the . United States Department of Agriculture, whose experts are en- gaged in a study to determine the effects of forest devastation on pop- ulation, agriculture, . industry . and economic life in that state. The forests of Michigan, the state- ment continues, as a result of devas- tating fires a{y now so greatly ¢ produce chiefly, fuel:-wood "and other minor forest products instead of high grade lumber on which the state’s main industries depend. The build- ing trades and the automobile and furniture industries of Michigan must largely import their supply of high grade lumber from other states instead of growing it at home. For the most costly classes of woods, such as those used for auto- mobiles, furniture and building, Michigan goes as far south as the Gulf and as far west as the Pacific; it imports all told a little more than a billion board feet of lumber and timber annually, of which 400,000, 000 come from the Gulf Coast region and nearly 180,000,000 feet from the Pacific Northwest. For these amounts the state pays not only an enormous freight bill but also the high prices incident to constantly dwindling for- ests. The reforestation of Michigan’s denuded lands would, after a few decades, say forest experts, not merely stop these costly importations but go far toward re-establishing the state’s lost leadership in her once greatest industry, lumbering, and put it upon a permanent basis. JORDAN AND PARCAUT MAY MEET HERE SOON Bemidji may be selected as the place in which the middleweight be held if the plans of Prof. P. A. Caiciofini of Minneapolis arc car- ried out.

He has offered Caie- iofini an open date for either July 20 or 21 but as yet has not received a reply. A preliminary match, or semi- windup may be arranged between Jack Milo of Minneapolis and L. C.
