District Court igainst. J. D. Keller,
alleging alienation of the affections
of Armstrong's wife. Armstrong
charges that Keller began a system

manner if she would only desert Arm-i

the amount of his wsaith. Keller is

Quite a number of Davis county
farmers have receivi'd checks from
Uncle S.tm, in tlie form of wool re
fund checks. Tlie government pro
tected the wool growers last year by

dealer took an unjust profit 1*b was
caused to pay the amount he made
over and cbove a stipulated profit to
the government, which in turn refund
ed tliat amount to the man who had
sold the wool to the dealer. It is be
lieved this is the first instance on rec
ord of the government protecting the
local farmer to the enont of making
a profiteer disgorge his illegal pro
fits, and paying the larmer a- just
price for his product.

HONOR TO CENTRALIA DEAD
National Commander and. Party Visit
Graves of Legion Men Killed Dur.
ing City Parade.
•The hend of the American Legion
Journeyed all the way to Centralla,
Wash., to pay homage nt the graves
of the four men who were slain by
members of tlie I. W. W. Inst Armis
tice day. Two hundred Legion. men
and women accompanied Franklin
D'Oller, their nationnl commander, on
his visit to the scene of the tragedy,
and stood with bowed heads in Moun
tain View cemetery tis he pledged the
Legion to everlasting reverence to the
memory of its martyred members.
There was nothing of rancor in
D'Olier's reference to the men who
killed the peaceful paradcrs. T\it the
speech served warning, ns hundreds of
other incidents of Legion history of
the lnsl year have served warning,
that the Legion is a wall of steel
against all advocates of violence,
whether they dub themselves "wob
blles" or parlor bolshevists.
"I come here as to the shrine of the
American Legion," sai D'Oller, stand
ing nt tlie foot of the grave of Wnr
ren Grimm, killed nt the head of the
Armistice day parade. "Centralla will
mean to the Legion what Bunker Hill,
Gettysburg and Chateau Thierry mean
to tlie nation. At these places, the
spirit of America met the enemy and
triumphed. Here, in CentraUa. the
spirit of the American Legion likewise
met the enemy of our country and tri
umphed."
As representative of the nearly two
million members of the Legion, D'Ol
ler laid a wreath of flowers on Grimm's
grave. In tlie crowd were Grimm's old
friends In Centralla and friends of
Dale Hubbard, Ben Cnsagranda and
Arthur McElfresh, who also were slaiu.
"It Is fitting that here today we
should renew our pledge of patriotism
and devotion to law and order nnd
serve notice on the forces of nnnrchy
that more than fonr million ex-service
men, who fought nnd defeated the foe
without, are now sworn to fight to the
death the foe within, who would work
Injury to our sacred institutions. Our
inspiration shall lie our martyrs and
the restraint shown by their outraged
comrades. By dedicating ourselves to
the defense of our flag nnd all that
it means, a defense based on fairness
and justice, we shall prove that our
comrades In France and Centralla have
not died in vain," the commander con
cluded.
Aid From Stage Players.
The helpful camaraderie of the
theatrical profession was strikingly
emphasized nt the "frolic" for the for
mer service men of Anderson county,
S. C., staged under the auspices of W.
A. Hudgens post of Anderson and at
tended by more than 000 ex-soldiers,
sailors and marines. A professional
