(AP) A bottle of Burgundy

used as a toast to his departed
comrades by the final survivor of
the famous Last Man's club of
Stillwater, Minn., has turned to
vinegar.
This was revealed In Mitchell
today by Charles Lock wood, 87
years old, the last survivor of the
club, who stopped here enroute
from his home at Chamberlain,
S. D., to attend the funeral of
Peter O. Hall, of Atwater. Minn.,
who died Friday night. The lat
ter's death made Mr. Lockwood
the only remaining veteran of the
club.
"In attending Mr. Hall's fu
neral, I am saying farewell to a
comrade I've known for 9 years,"
Mr. Lockwood said. "It saddens
me but I also am proud of the sa
sacred honor of being the last
man."

(Continued from Page 1-)
George's letter Mrs. Skiff wrote
"The morning post brought me
your answer to my modest request
for .the name of some war mother
who might be Interested in our or
ganization. The American War
Mothers.
"It Is a bit amusing Mr. George
to have you take yourself so ser
iously. Is the state of Oregon not
large enough for all our patriotic
organizations? Does any one of
these have a monopoly? We are a
bit surprised that you took the
trouble to read our 'declaration of
principles that conform to the ob
jects and purpose of the legion
auxiliary.'
Early Origin of
Organization Cited
"Are you aware Mr. George that
the American War Mothers or
ganization Is the only organiza
tion ever authorized by a presi
dent of the United -States. Presi
dent Wilson so authorized it. Did
you know it was organfzed while
the boys were still In France? And
charter by an act of congress In
1925? How could our organiza
tion be thought to be opposing
the auxiliary when we were organ
ized first? The loyalty and devo
tion of motherhood you claim Is
held sacred to all legionnaires Is
not exemplified in this letter from
their department commander. We
sent a letter to Mrs. Mary Chaney.
As yet she has not shown us the
courtesy to reply, even in a dis
courteous way. .We can but won
der, Mr. George, who is most dis
gruntled. Our organization is to
help the ex-service man and this
we do in every way possible.
Commander's Attitude
Called Un-American
"Tour third paragraph Is by far
the most insulting. It seems a pity
that one who has worn the uni
form of our country should so far
forget his manhood as to say it
was desecrating the flag to wrap
it around an organization com
posed of the mothers of soldier
boys. It Is un-American and your
prejudice and jealousy In thja
matter shame you. I am sending
a copy of .your letter to our na
tional magazine for publication."
EUGENE, Ore., April 19 (AP)
State Commander George at his
home here today made the follow
ing statement:
"My letter, I believe, represents
the view of most people In the
American Legion. The work of
women In connection with the Le
gion is quite adequately handled
through the women's auxiliary of
the American Legion, which Is of
ficially constituted by the Legion
for that purpose.
"It Is regretable If Mrs. Skiff
interpreted my statements as per
sonal. They were not Intended to
be personal, but to cover a situa
tion of duplication and repetition
in organization work wbieh the
Legion here and elsewhere has
been combating since the begin
ning. "I have nothing further to say
on the matter."

ter, when Nattacha Nattova,
adagio star in a company of her
own, went back for her act after
having been forcibly thrown
against some wall panels and
badly bruised and shaken up.
Two of Nattacha's assisting
dcv rs were swinging her In a
precarious position. The finale of
the swing was to toss her Into-
what appeared to be the open
mouth of a furnace. The assist
ants miscalculated in some man
ner and Nattacha hit the side df
the furnace. She was unable to
protect herself because hands and
feet were held by those swinging
her in the air.
A doctor was called and after a
rest Nattacha went on when her
next appearance was called.

George Joseph is steadily push

ownership racket. He was at
Woodburn the Past week, and is
due to speak in Salem this week.
Joseph is a ready and effective,
speaker, and has pretty well suck
ed the socialistic fringe of the
party. His difficulties with his
profession were given another
airing this past week in the final
hearing of the disbarment pro
ceedings against him before the
supreme court of the state. The
concensus of opinion is that the
court will keep -the decision on ice
until after the primaries.
Some venture the belief that
Joseph will run second In Mult
