GRAND ARMY BUGLE NOTES.
NAVAL CADETS DOING A GOOD WYNN

THE QUESTION OF CONSOLIDATING WEAK POSTS
ENTERTAINMENTS.
Don't use Old Glory a background f2r the i'-
yertlsenent OF nostrums, soaps or anyth"s ei'e,
That is the admontion OF the laws OF thesr on''e"
states although compa lively few people know H.
The Naval Cadets understand 1t, however ana they
are doing good work in suppressing the practice oil
posting all sorts OF cheap advertisements across tne
face of the Stars and Stripes. The law makes the
offence punishable by fine and imprisonment anu 'ne
cadets have taken 1t upon themselves 10 prHs OF
tenders of this sort TO a proper realization Oh t"c
enormty of their crimes. They nave larger coiiec-
ton Of captured flags than any military organization
or Grand Army post In the country, ana sun the
good work goes on Nor can 1t be prosecuted too
vigorously Every member of all the Grand Army
posts In the country ought TO appoint himself COM
mittee Of one TO suppress the practice From un-
official reports It is said that large percentage Of
the offenders foreigners. No matter VINO they
are or what they are. they ought not to be allowed
To continue the practice. Every patriotic man III
the Union will say with great hcartiness to the
Naval Cadets. LEE the good work g. on.
Nothing emphasizes the fact that The old veterans
are growing fewer and fewer with startling rapdity
so much the efforts which many Grand Army
posts are valniy putting forth to maintain their
! organizations. one at a time the members pass
away and there none to take their places the
rosters become smaller and smaller. Posts which
wer, strong. active and influential a few years ago
nud themselves on the verge OF dissolution In many
OF them IL is difficult impossible to get together
quorum for translct!ng even routine business.
This condition OF affairs has brought up again the
question % consolidating several Of the weak posts
and making strong one. Naturally the Cd MEM
bos OF post dislike to give up its name, and there's
the difficulty What name shall the consolidated
post take? Well. time Is great adjuster of such
matters and doubt 1t will adjust this one.
