MILLIONS FOR WAR MEMORIAL
Indiana Legislature Appropriate^ Near-
ly $10,000,000 for Legion Struc-
ture at State Capital.
A suitable national headquarters
building of the American Legion in
Indianapolis was assured with the pas-
sage of three bills by the state legis-
lature, appropriating almost $10,000,-
000 for a war memorial structure,
which will house the Legion’s main
offices.
Five city blocks in the heart of
Indianapolis will be used for the me-
morial project. The building will be
erected in the middle block, with the
remaining plots transformed into a
magnificent city plaza. At one ex-
terior of the memorial site is located
the Federal Postoffice building, erect-
ed at a cost of $6,000,000. Facing the
outer end of the plaza is the $3,000,-
000 city library.
Tentative plans' for the construction
of the buildings are now in the hands
of a state commission, of which Post-
master General Will H. Hays is a
member. Selection of the architect
will be made by the National Institute
of Architecture, following a contest in

which all architects of America have
been invited to participate. The legis-
lature set aside a fund of $100,000 to
defray expenses of the contest and to
award the artist whose designs and
plans are adopted a prize of $50,000.
Invitations have been issued to na-
tional headquarters of the Grand Ar-
my of the Republic, the Women’s Re-
lief Corps, Service Star Legion, Amer-
ican War Mothers, Spanish War Vet-
erans and Women’s Auxiliary of the
Legion to occupy quarters in the Me-
morial building along with the Legion.
To Dr. T. Victor Keene, ’ national
executive committeeman of- Indiana,
will go much of the 'credit for making
the war memorial possible. Dr. Keene
fathered the movement from its in-
fancy and fought for it when other
Legionnaires, although supporting the
fight, were fearful of success. Dr.
Keene was the first officer of the
reserve corps of any branch of service
called to active duty during the World
war. He was a colonel, medical corps,
in command of base hospital 70 over-
seas.
THE “MOTHER OF THE BONUS”
Friendly Title Assigned to Kansas
Woman Member of the Legislature
and Called “Legislady.”
Mrs. Ida M. Walker, first woman
member of the Kansas legislature, is
honored by Amer-
ican Legion mem-
bers of that state
with the title of
“Mother of ’ the
Bonus,” for it was
Mrs. Walker who
drew up and
pushed through a
state bonus, which
grants ex-service
men one dollar
for each day of
military or naval
W&k service during the
World war.
Although Mrs. Walker cannot quali-
fy for membership in the Legion or in
I its Women’s Auxiliary, she has been
I a tireless worker for the cause which
[brought the organizations into exist-
ence, and for which they now stand.
)uring the World war she was state
lirector of women’s work in the Bel-
gian relief fund and also served as
vod administrator for her county. The
fcMother of the Bonus” also assists
?r bur-band in the publication of a
[eekly newspaper and is a former
•eshient of the Kansas Federation
Voi-en’s Clubs.

LEGION LAWMAKER ALL THERE
t§§i
I
Youngest Member of North Dakota
Legislature Produces Results for
His Fellow Buddies.
To Robert J. Boyd, a member of
Gilbert C. Grafton Post No. 2 of the
American Legion
at Fargo, N. D.,
goes the honor of
being the young-
est member of the
house of repre-
sentatives of the
North Dakota leg-
islature. He is
twenty-five years
old.
A former presi-
dent of the Fargo
Trade and Labor
assembly and an
active member of
the Pressmen’s union at Fargo, Mr.
Boyd was active in support of sev-
eral bills advantageous to organized
labor. He was also a strong advocate
of legislation backed by the North Da-
kota department of the Legion.
Among the results of his work are:
the passage of bills making Armistice
day a legal holiday, protecting the
Legion emblem and increasing tax for
bonus fund from three-fourths to one
mill on taxable property. Pie also led
the fight which resulted in the pass-
age of a resolution urging congress
to pass the Fordney five-fold compen-
sation bill, a measure backed by the
Legion.
Victory for the Legion.
The closing of the United States
public health service hospital for tu-
bercular ex-service men at Markle-
ton, Pa., by ordter of Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Ewing Laporte,
is regarded by American Legion offi-
cials as a great victory for the ex-
service men’s national policy in re-
gard to disabled veterans. This hos-
pital was first denounced as an im-
proper place for the treatment of tu-
bercular ex-service men by F. W. Gal-
braith, Jr., national commander of the
American Legion, in a speech in Phil-
adelphia last November. His stand
followed numerous investigations
made by government authorities, and
a public appeal from 96 tubercular
veterans being treated there.
First in Membership Contest.
In the first published list of leading
posts in the Kansas membership con-
test of the American Legion, Cal
Mathewson post No. 280 of Edmond,
Kan., takes first place. Next in order
are the Legion posts at Sterling, Elk-
hart, Weir and Logan. Seventy-eight
posts in Kansas have already passed
their 1920 membership, while ten posts
have no delinquent members.
SUREST WAY TO
HATCHTURKEYS
Hen Is Faithful- if She Is Given
Proper Management and
Kept Free From Vermin.
CLEANLINESS IS ESSENTIAL
Nests Hollowed Out on Ground, Cov-
ered With Straw and Carefully
Protected Are Ideal—Exer-
cise Is Imperative.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Chicken hens and incubators can be
and often ax-e used successfully for
hatching turkey eggs, but the surest
means, United States Department of
Agriculture poultry specialists say, is
to use the turkey hen and give her
proper management. Turkey hens are
close sitters and will covei\ so there
will be no danger of chilling, from 15
to 18 eggs, depending on the size of
the hen.
Nests for setting turkey and chick-
en hens are best made on the gi’ound
by hollowing out a little earth, so that
the center is deep enough to keep the
eggs from x’olling out of the nest. A
thin covering of clean straw ox* hay
can then be used to prevent the eggs
from being directly on the ground,
and a lai’ge, l’ooxuy coop should be
placed over the nest to keep the hen
from being disturbed. When a num-
ber of hens are to be set. a long row
of nests can easily be made on the
gx’ound, sepai’ating them with boai’d
partitions. If this is done care must
be taken to see that when the hens
come off the nests each retux-ns to the
right one instead of crowding into a
nest with another hen- and leaving
some of the eggs to become chilled
With only a few hens1, it is better tc
set them some distance apart, as they
will then require less attention.
When a Hen's in Earnest.
When a hen becomes bx-oody and
shows that she is earnest by remain-
ing on her nest for two or three
nights, she may safely be trusted with
the eggs, provided she is allowed to
sit in that nest. If she is to be set in
another nest, as is usually the case,
then she should be removed to the
new nest, preferably after dark, given
a few nest eggs, and shut in to pi*e-
vent her from returning to the old
one. If she sits quietly on the nest
eggs she should be taken off on the
evening of the following day, and the
eggs to be incubated placed in the
nest. On being freed, she probably
will return to her old nest; if so, sh«
should be carried back and set quiet

Sitting.
ly on the eggs. She should be han-
dled in this manner until on being let
off she retux-ns to the new nest x-ather
than to the old one. It sometimes
takes only two or three days, and sel-
dom more than a week, to bx-eak a
hen from returning to her old nest.
Turkey hens do not ordinarily come
off for feed and water more than once
every two or three days, but when
confined they should have a chance to
coxue off every day. Occasionally a
turkey hen does not coxne off at all,
and in such case she should be taken
off once a day, as otherwise she will
die on the nest.
On coming off her nest the first
thing a turkey hen does is to stretch
her wings, step gingerly for a few
steps, and then she often takes 'a
running start and flies for a short dis-
tance. Exercise of this sox-t helps
greatly to keep a sitting hen in good
condition, and for this reason it is not
well to confine her to a small Space.
A dust bath is greatly enjoyed by sit-
ting hens, and helps to keep them
free from vex-min. Whole corn is a
good feed, and fresh water and grit
should always be accessible.
Lice are a great annoyance to sit-
ting hens, and are one of the worst
enemies of young poults. To prevent
their getting a start, the hen should
be dusted thoroughly with sodium
fluoride or some good lice powder be-
fore she is placed on the nest. The
nesting material should be kept clean,
and if the eggs become dirty they
should be washed with a soft cloth
dipped in lukewarm water. Just be-
fore the poults are to hatch, the old
nesting material should be x-eplaced
with clean straw.
Incubation Period.
The incubation period of turkey
eggs is 28 days. The first egg is usual-
ly pipped during the first part of the
twenty-seventh day, the first poult
hatched by the middle of that day,
and the hatch completed at the end
of 28 days, although in extreme cases
all the poults are not hatched before
the end of 30 days. Turkey eggs are
tested for rertility and for dead
germs, as a rule, on the tenth and
twentieth days.
WART DISEASE HITS
ROOTS OF TOMATOES
Injury Probably Does Not Reduce
Yield of Fruit.
Affected Plants Serve to Carry Ail-
ment Over From Year to Year in
Absence of Potatoes—Other
Plants Suspected.
(Preoared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Recent investigations made by the
United States Department of Agricul-
tux’e on the control of the potato wart
disease, a Eux’opean trouble foxxnd in
this country in 1918, disclosed the fact
that this disease also attacks tomatoes.
Out of 28 varieties of tomatoes planted
in wart-infested gardens in eastern
Pennsylvania in 1920, 2G were found to
be susceptible to the disease.
Wart is a very serious disease of po-
tatoes, causing practically a total loss
in badly infested soil. It attacks tire
tubers, causing warty outgrowths,
which may practically cover or con-
sume the potatoes. Its px-esent known
occurrence in the United States is con-
There Is Much Satisfaction in Produc-
ing Tomatoes of the Finest Quality.
fined to gardens in a few mining vil-
lages in Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Maryland, fx-om which its spread
is restricted by state quarantine laws.
The disease attacks only the stems and
roots of the tomato plant, causing
small warts; it probably does not re-
duce the yield of fruit.
The importance of the discovery of
the susceptibility of tomatoes to pota-
to wart lies in the fact that affected to-
lnato plants will serve to carry the dis-
ease over from year to year in the ab-
sence of potatoes, and to introduce it
into new localities through the trans-
planting of tomato seedlings grown in
infested soil. It is not yet known defi-
nitely whether all varieties of tomatoes
are susceptible to the wart disease, but
it is feared that such may be the case.
Other plants belonging to the potato
family are suspected of being suscepti-
ble to wax’t, and some of these have
been tested, but with inconclusive re-
sults. These tests will be repeated.
GOOD INCUBATION HINTS
Follow the manufactui’er’s di-
rections in setting up and oper-
ating an incubator.
See that the incubator runs
steadily at the desii’ed tempera-
ture before filling it with eggs.
Do not add fi’esh eggs to a tray
containing those which are un-
dergoing incubation.
Turn the eggs twice daily aft-
er the second and until the nine-
teenth day. Turn them before
caring for the lamps. Cool them
once daily, accoi’ding to the
weather, during this period.
Attend to the machine care-
fully at regular houx-s.
Keep the lamp and wick clean.
Test the eggs on the seventh
and fourteenth days.
Do not open the machine aft-
er the eighteenth day until the
chickens are hatched.
BEST TIME TO CUT COWPEAS
Most Desirable Quality of Hay Pro-
duced if Cut When Pods Are Full-
Grown and Matured.
As a rule cowpeas should not be
cut for hay before the pods begin to
turn yellow. The best quality is pro-
duced and the hay cures most readily
if the vines are cut when most of the
pods are full grown and a consider-
able number of them are mature. At
that stage of growth none of the best
hay varieties will have dropped their
leaves and the plants will have prac-
tically attained their full growth.
IMPORTANCE OF FARM DIARY
Among Other Things It Will Prevent
Paying Same Bill Twice if
Record Is Made.
A farm diary may save paying the
game bill twice, since it may be used
as a record of all credit business done
by the farm. Specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture sug-
gest that blank pages in the back oi
the diary be used for such accounts.
John F. Hyatt, of Albany,
N. Y., Is Relieved of Se-
vere Attack of Rheuma-
tism of Many Years,
Standing.
“I am now seventy-two years old
and am just getting rid of a fifteen-
year case of rheumatism that had
me so crippled up I could not walk,”
said John F. Hyatt, 227 Pearl St.,
Albany, N. Y., in relating his re-
markable experience with Tanlac, re-
cently. Mr. Hyatt was chairman of
the committee in charge of building
the Albany County Courthouse and
was four times elected a member of
the County Board of Supervisors. At
present Mr. Hyatt is Assistant Super-
intendent of the Albany County
Courthouse, with offices in the build-
ing.
“I don’t believe,” he continued,
“anybody could have rheumatism any
worse than I did, and my case was of
such long standing I didn’t expect to
ever get over it. I was unable to
walk except for a short distance, sup-
ported with a cane, and even . then
the pains struck me every time' I took
a step. My legs, hips and ankles hurt
something awful and my joints were
stiff and achy. I couldn’t cx’oss my
leg without having to lift it up with
my hands, and to turn over in bed,
why, the pains nearly killed me.
“My appetite was gone and the
sight of food nauseated me. My
stomach was out of order, and I had
a sluggish, heavy feeling all the time.
I was weak, off in weight and dis-
couraged so that it looked like I
might as well quit trying to ever get
well.
“I had no idea Tanlac would relieve
xny rheumatism when I began taking
it last Spring. I took it because I
saw where it would give a fellow an

appetite. Well, sir, I was the most
surprised I ever was in my life when
the rheumatic pains began to ease up.
I took seven bottles in all and, it’s a
fact, I didn’t have an ache about me,
was eating fine and simply felt like
I had been made over again.
“I have been in the best of health
ever since, with only a slight twinge
of rheumatism at intervals. I do not
need my cane now, but as I had been
unable to walk without it for several
years, I got into the habit of carry-
ing it and so still take it along. I am
enjoying life and health once mox*e
and can conscientiously recommend
Tanlac as the greatest medicine I
have ever run across in all my ex-
perience.”

EASE THAT ACHING BACK!
Is a throbbing backache keeping you
rniserable? Are you tortured with stab-
bing pains? Is the trouble making your
work a burden and rest impossible?
Springtime, for many folks, is back-
ache time—a sign that the kidneys need
help. Colds, chills, and the changing
weather of early spring, strain the
kidneys and slow them up. Poisons
accumulate and then comes backaches,
headaches, dizziness and bladder irreg-
ularities. Use Doan's Kidney Piils.
