F ollowing the Floods THE excessive rains of the past month have seriously retarded farming operations. As soon as field work is possible farmers will be busy night and day preparing the ground and seeding the land that they may maintain an adequate food supply for the nation. This year, for the farmer, time is an imperative factor. More than 140,000 tractors are owned in the 11 Middle Western States served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). These tractors are being overhauled, lubricated, and put in condition to perform essential labor, for which horse power would be totally inadequate. The number of horse hours per day is limited by the strength of the horse, while the number of motor hours per day is limited only by the number of hours. During this rush the demand for gasoline will be heavy. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is prepared to supply this demand. Its storage tanks and bulk stations located at strategic points throughout the territory are full. Its supply depots, service stations, and tank wagons are prepared to make Red Crown gasoline instantly accessible to the farmer when his need arises. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) may be depended upon to perform this service adequately — first, because it has provided sufficient field storage to take care of even an abnormal demand. Second, because it maintains distributing facilities which form the most perfect system of its kind. Only a big organization, big in spirit of enterprise and social service and big in resources, can cope adequately with the growing motor needs of the Midd e West. In carrying on its business the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) operates 6 large refineries, 3821 bulk stations, 1521 filling stations, and a fleet of 6600 tank delivery trucks. It is due to the efficiency of this vast organization that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is able to guarantee that the needs of the farmer for petroleum products will be supplied.

AMERICAN ®Lt(iK)N® (Copy for Thin Department Supplied by the American Legion News Service.) WILL WRITE POST’S HISTORY Rupert Hugh**, Author, Will Chronicle Happening* to Member* of Robert Stowe Gill Body. — The history of one American Legion j post will be written by no less a light I than Itu per t ] Hughes. With an eye to his versa- [ ■r | tile pen. mem- ( j* * W-l ' t)erß t,le K,)h ‘ . ert Stowe Olli gn post of the Le- , “ gion In New V * York, have made the author their ■' historian. T h e membership of * the post is made Jy’ up entirely of r jFi-S • members o.” the ' Lamb's club—writers and actors for i the most part. “Long In time and short in importance” is the way Mr. Hughes describes his military career. As a matter of fact he was a fairly important soldier. He started as a private in the Seventh regiment in 1897. Ten years later he was offered a lieutenant colonelcy, which he did not accept. He served on the Mexican border as a captain, and only deafness kept him from service abroad during the World war. During the raising of troops In New York he served as adjutant general, where his deafness was an asset rather than a liability with the pacifists tooting their tin whistles, and then he became a captain In the Intelligence service, being just as intelligent when deaf as when sharp of hearing. “I joined the L'egion," Mr. Hughes wrote, “because I believe in its principles and I believe it to be one of the most Important organisations in the country.” Mr. Hughes has recently come into public notice for his stand : against censorship. HIGH ON LEGION HONOR ROLL Minnesota Newspaper Man Wrote 3,236 Personal Letters to “Home" Worker* During World War. One of the world’s most enthusiastic letter writers is M. W. Grimes, editor of the Le Sueur (Minn.) News. For his re- & * “ markable service f as “self-appolnt- f ed correspond- r < - ent” during the war, he stands t high on the hon- ; or roll of the Minnesota de- JJr A partment of the JlnK American Legion. Le Sueur and HW vicinity sent 230 men and seven women to the colors. Editor Grimes sat down and wrote them 3,236 personal letters while they ! were away from home, an average of one letter a month for each fighter or | nurse. In addition he mailed a copy iof the hometown paper to each of I them every week. The letters were not the “Dear-Jlm-I-remain-yours-truly” variety; they contained the bits of “home gossip” and local color for which the doughboys were willing to give their last cigarette. When the veterans returned, Editor Grimes assisted in the formation of a post of the American Legion and devoted an entire edition of the News to reproducing the pictures of every Le Sueur boy that had lost his life , in the war. AN EYE ON NEXT CONGRESS Official Washington Is Speculating on How Many Ex-Service Men Will Be Returned. Official Washington is wondering how many ex-service men are to be returned to congress at the election next fall. Speculation is rife, with the bonus controversy at full tilt. Veterans of the World war already have formidable strength In the house, 31 seats being occupied by former service men, according to a canvass by the American Legion. The senate has ! two veterans —Senator Newberry of Michigan, and Senator Elkins of West Virginia. Twenty-one states are represented by ex-service men in conj gress, New York lending with four, Massachusetts and Tennessee being | second with three each. Far-sighted persons have hazarded the opinion that when the votes are counted in November, It will be found j that the number of ex-soldlers in the house has been materially increased. Only Ex-Service Men Wanted. When Edward Hines, millionaire merchant of Chicago, wants help in his j lumber yards, he sends to the American Legion. His employment officers have been Instructed to hire only vet--1 erans of the war in the yards. Hines Is the donor of a memorial hospital at Maywood. 111.
