AMERICAN LEGION
WEEKLY NEWS NOTES
Investigation by Congress of the
alleged illegal hangings in the A. E.
F. is termed "a farcial burlesque" by
the, American Legion at Mineral
Wells, Tex. "This abortive investi
:gation is an insult to every loyal
American," a resolution reads: "We
believe it is time members of the
board began devoting their efforts to
matters of import instead of indulging
in the hearing of unsupported and
absurd complains made by a few ob
viously disgruntled and irresponsible
muckrakers."
The American Legion Weekly of
February 10 pi'ints an article by an
ex-captain in the Signal Corps, quot
ing General Bullard's order to shoot
"on the spot" any person advising
surrender during battle, but flatly
denying that evidence of any such in
stance has been substantiated.
District schools in Moffat County,
Colo., had decided to close their doors
for a period of weeks, due to insuffi
cient funds. The American Legion
succeeded in raising $916 to keep them
going, taking the stand that " a short
ening of the school term or a curtail
ihent of athletics would be a back
ward step, depriving children of
rightful advantages."
Ex-service men in Calcutta, India,
have applied to the American Legion
for a charter.
Found wiping his auto with an
American flag, a man in Tampa, Fla.,
was questioned by the American Le
gion. He was pronounced "simply
ignorant," and given instruction in
how to treat the colors. Hearing of
the incident, the man's employer pre
sented the Legion with a large flag.

4 complete French village, with a
"Hotel de Ville" accomodating 1,000,
will be planted at Medicine Parka,
Okla., as a recreation center for the
American Legion. Posts will build
cottages where members may spend
their vacation.
Hiring squads of unemployed ex
soldiers, each squad in charge of an
ex-nurse, has been suggested to the
American Legion in Toledo, 0., as a
means of tearing down unsightly elec
tion posters.
"Nervous" ex-soldiers present a
special problem in hospitalization.
Neuropsycbiatric treatment at Gov
ernment institutions is under investi
gation by the American Legion, and a
conference of specialists has been
called by the Veterans' Bureau.
John J. Payne, released two years
ago from a German prison, is being
looked for by the American Legion.
His mother, at Newburg, N. Y., has
not seen him since Christmas, 1920.
Holding aloft a tin can labelled
"For ex-soldiers," a man raised $9,
000 in New York streets. The Ameri
can Legion learned that ex-soldiers
got about $50 of it-the man got a
jail sentence.
Gathered at the call of radical New
York labor leaders, 600 unemployed
men threatened a tear-gas attack on
Fifth Avenue financiers. The Ameri
can Legion was condemned as a "tool
of capitalism," and ex-soldiers pre
sent were told they should have kept
their Army guns to "force the Gov
ernment to give them jobs."
Brooding over war horrors con
tinues to wreck the minds of ex-sol
diers. The American Legion at
Tampa, Fla., reports twelve cases of
ex-service men pronounced "incur
ably insane" since Thanksgiving.

MUCH RELIEF OFFERED LIVE
STOCK GROWERS OF S. C.
The South Carolina Co-operative
Livestock Association will supply a
much needed relief and assistance to
the stock growers of this State. For
the first time in history our govern
ment has seen fit to come to the fin
ancial assistance and aid of the live
stock growers.
his has indeed been a lone fight in the
past, and still in the present. The
majority of the banks do not consid
er livestock good collateral. The few
that do give it any consideration ati
all do not extend their loans over G('
per cent. of the value of the livestock
offered as security. Now the govern
ment has at last extended a helping
hand. It cannot be blamed for not
reorginizing the industry in the past
as the venture was too risky. It
would have had to depart from its
sound business methods to have (lone
so.

Indigestion. The effects of a

prompt treatment of indiges

There has at last been an Act pass
3d that makes it possible for a live
stock grower to obtain very liberal
loans on his stock. Although the
War Finance Corporation, from which
his assistance can be had, does not
-ecognize the individual livestock
rower, it does recognize an associa
ion of growers.
The South Carolina Co-operative
ivestock Association has been form
d according to the requirements of
.he laws laid down by this Act. By
>eing a member of this association a
,rower is privileged to receive or bor
-ow fro mtwo-thirds of three fourths
f the market value of his livestock.
rhe money thus obtained can be ex
)ended in enlarging the herd, fatten
ng, breeding and orderly marketing;
mad, in fact, in any way that applies
o this particularly industry.
Thus the members of this associa
ion will bring thousands upon thou
ands of dollars into the State. This
s going to put new life into the veins
>f the industry instead of letting it
mash on the breakers of a demor
lized market.
With the assistance offered by the
ssociation the livestock industry
hould grow as it will bring about a
ondition that would eliminate the
peculator and give the producer a
hance to market his livestock order
y and at a time when a justifiable
rice can be obtained.
The grower must do his part. The
,overnment has offered to meet him
talf-way. If the grower grasps the
ipportunity that is offeredl him, pros
erity wvill take the place of poverty.
I'he exercise of good judlgment by the
utockmen of this State will make a
andlmark in its history.

We have no right to judge a man
Until he's fairly tried,
Should we not like his company
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults
And who has not?
The old as well as young,
Perhaps we may, for aught we know
Have fifty to their one.
Then let us all, when we begin
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To these we little know.
Remember curses sometimes,
Like our chickens, roost at home
Don't speak of other's faults
Until you have none of your own.
