Karl Rose Post of the American Legion of Stockton, Cal., Proudly Claims
Film Star as Godmother, and Appreciates the Many Kindnesses* Shown
Them by the Movie Queen.
THE Karl Ross post of the Amer
ican Legion, Stockton, Cal., claims
Mary IMckford as its "godmother," and
the little motion picture star does not
seem inclined to dispute the claim,
having recently addressed a very moth
erly letter to her boys whom she ad
dressed as godsons.
This post Included the Battery C men
of the 143 d Field Artillery, of which
little Mary mi godmother.
"Our Mary was an Ideal godmother,"
said Tod Clawdsley, editor of the San
Joaquin Legion. "She did a thousand
and one nice things for our regiment.
She autographed 1,200 smlleage books
and gave them to us; sent every sol
dier a sweater; sent us thousands of
cigarettes at Camp Kearney and had
70,000 of them waiting for us at Camp
Merritt when we returned from
France. She provided us with auto
busses to return from far out In the
country to a dance at Los Angeles,
and she did a lot of other splendid
things. Including giving our regimental
standard. *.
"Mary was honored colonel of the
143 d Field Artillery. We have been
told that no other iv the U. S. ever
had the privilege of formally Inspect
ing a regiment of American troops ex
cept visiting royalty—no other woman,
that is.

WAR MED'" BEDECKED HERO
John Bowe Has Enough Medals to
Completely Cover His Brave
and Manly Breast.
John Bowe, First Vice Commander of
the Minnesota Department of the
American Legion, is one of the famous
soldiers of fortune, who fought In
both the Spanish-
American and the
late war, and the
war, and Is
now quietly
awaiting in Can
lev. Minn., for an
other opportunity
to win other dec
orations ln »n
--ither war.
In his fifty
years John Bowe
has been an ad
lier opportunity
win other dec
itlons ln »n
--ler war.
irs John Bowe
I been nn ud
venturer in busi
ness as well as ln
war. He started
th c first cash
market for farm
produce In Can
by, and organised
the first cement
block :.mi tile factory when that in
dustry was looked upon as a poor risk.
He built the Hist cold storage build
ing in his native city.
Nor are those his only "firsts." He
was the first subscriber to the Farmers'
Mutual Telephone Company, first de
positor In the Postal Savings Bank,
first president of the Yellow Medicine
County Fair Association, first presi
dent of John Swenson's Memorial Hos
pital. And was mayor .>f Canby.
As might be expected of one who
thus broadly sensed bis duties as a
citizen, be served with the 13th Min
nesota In the Spanish-American war
and In the Philippine Insurrection,
having been present at the capture of
Manila and ten other engagements.
When the world war broke out,
Rowe could not wait for America to
enter, but Joined the French army,
connected with the Second Foreign
Legion, and the 170 th and U_h\ regi
ments of the line, the 92nd territorials
ami the Ist Regiment. Foreign Legion.
He was never commissioned.
He spent three years France, and
3e spent three years in France, and
two years ln the trenches. He was
wounded in the attack on Champagne
October 19, 1915, returned to the front
and wsa finally Invalided home.
One would never guess that this
quiet, unassuming man. as he goes
about his business In this peaceful
Minnesota town. Is Legionnaire Bowe.
and you'd never know that on the
horizon blue of his uniform he may
wear a crolx de guerre and enough
medala to cover the breast of his coat.

Camp Kearney to Los Angeles, Mary
met us at the city gates dressed In a
full colonel's uniform and led us
through the city. That night she led
the grand march at the big Shrine Au
ditorium military ball.
"Our regiment, every man of the
1,200, 'chipped In' to buy her a beau
tiful loving cup when she visited us at
Camp Kearney. So you can see that
the little film star was 'ace high' with
the boys. Incidentally, I can tell you
that she Is a mighty sweet little lady
to talk to— unaffected and pleasing.
"The American Legion Is very ac
tive in California just now. We have
45,000 members. The local post put on
a huge carnival-circus recently. For
ty-eight posts of the San Joaquin Val
ley met and perfected a valley athletic
association to handle baseball, boxing,
swimming, etc.
"Our post gave $1,000 to the Stock
ton Advertising club last month to aid
In bringing the Pacific Coast Advertis
ing clubs here, in convention. Tills
sort of action on the part of the Legion
has brought out reciprocal support
from organizations. Our post ls aid
ing in the Missions Restoration cam
paign, and takes part in every move
ment for civic betterment."
So lt ie quite evident "Little Mary"
has just cause to be proud of her
"godsons."
French government said he "volun
teered always for the most dangerous
missions and the most perilous posts,"
and the Serbian medal was bestowed
for "distinguished and brilliant con
duct under fire."
Bowe has written of his thrilling
experiences of two years In the thick
of the fight In his book "Soldiers of
the Legion."
"Looking back to my life over there
now," said Bowe, "it was a busy, en
tertaining, exciting time while it last
'd. But the comrades are all dead
jr scatteredthe glory, the romance
Is gonelt hardly seems natural or
possible, more like a dream or night
mare. The suffering and the exertion
overshadow the few short hours of
furlough In Paris or London.
"We couldn't afford to lose," he said.
'The price paid was terrific, but it
ivas worth It, provided we can keep
the advantages gained. One thing that
sets my goat is the -complacency
of those people here at home—they
have no conception of what is or has
been going on in Europe, and don't
seem to realize that we are just as
vitally Interested in world problems as
the people of Europe.
"We see too many politicians in of
fice standing Idly by while the re
sources of the country are being
wasted. We see two groups nt Wash
ington •pairing for an issue for the
next election, evidently trying to lose
the advantages the' soldiers gained
But 1 have an unlimited faith that we
shall square ourselves to meet the
new day.
"And the American Legion is go
ing to have no small part In squaring
the ship of state for the new day."
Verbotan.
Coming hack from France, some 1,
--800 men spent 10 days on a small
liner that had no mess hall for the
soldiers. Ordinarily, they got their
chow nnd rent on deck to eat It. but
when lt rained they were not even al
lowed above decks. They were never
certain Just where they could go, be
cause guards kept popping up every
where with the remark. "You can't sit
there," or "You can't stand here." One
day a doughboy who had gone on deck
with his mess only to be sent below
again slipped on the nonskld ladder.
The food flew everywhere and the sol
dier landed at the bottom in a sitting
position. As he sat there collecting his
faculties, a guard hurried up.
"You can't eat there, buddy," he
announced.

HOLD VOIR WOOL
Wool valuations average lower at
this time than they did last year,
with the fine and fine medium
grades (shorn from Rambouillete,
Delaines and the other fine wools*
selling higher than last year, but the
coarser wools, such as the hall
blood, three-eights blood, quarter
blood and low quarter blood (shorn
from the Southdown, Hampshire.
Shropshire, and "Oxford) soiling at a
considerably lower "price. This is es
pecially the case with the last two
grades and also with the braid wools
(Lincoln and Cotswold).
The wool market for the coarser
grades of good quality will probably
recover later in the summer so that
it would be inadvisable to sacrifice
the clip by selling at this time the
coarse grades of wool.
The writer would suggest that
wool growers consign their wool to
wool storage companies, such as the
Columbia Wool Warehouse company
;or the Portland Wool Storage com
pany of Portland. These companies
store and grade the clip and sell di
rect to the woolen mills In the east,
for a commission of about 2i_ cents
per pound. The growers pay the
freight in advance, about one-third
of a cent per pound, from eastern
Washington points.
The various middlemen are elim
inated through this method of sell
ing, the farmer receiving the total
value of his wool minus the commis
sion of 2i. cents per pound and the
freight. Remember that by this
method of selling you will receive
the value of your wool; that this
value depends on the length,
strength and fineness of fiber; also
shrink, color, character and condi
tion of fleece. In other words, if
your wool is under 2% inches in
length it will sell for the cheaper
clothing instead of the higher comb
ing wool—loss 12 to 20 cents per
pound. If your flock lost hi condi
tion through lack of food and shel
ter last winter so that one can take
hold of each end of a lock of wool
and break it through the middle,
making each of the two parts short
er than IVz Inchesloss 12 to 20
cents per pound.
If your wool has a heavy content
of dirt and other foreign material
so that there is a heavy shrink in

these wet fleeces causes the fibres to
turn a permanent yellow color, an
other source of dockage in price. If
your fleeces have a considerable
amount of chaff in the neck or back
wool, or burrs, another dock in price
is in order, as this wool has to be
put through a sulphuric acid bath to
eat these materials out, thereby
damaging the wool fibres. You suf
fer the loss. Tieing the fleeces with
binder twine is another source of
dockage; use paper wool twine.
If your clip is lacking inches, ac
tion is dull and lifeless, with very
little natural oil or yoHi so that
when you stretch the fibre out
straight they remain straight instead
of the natural crimp returning, you
have a poor quality of wool which
will bring a low price per pound
when sold on its merits.
If you have any wool for sale get
in touch with the county agent at
