THE AMERICAN LEGION
Emmons County Service Men Organ
ize County Post of Veterans,
Similar to G.. A. r.

Some thirty-five returned soldiers
and sailors were present at the opera
house Thursday night of last week to
assist in organizing a local post of
the American Legion, the new G. A. r.
Sgt. Paul M. Jewell, of Bismarck,
was present to assist the local boys
in organizing the post. Mr.. Jewell
explained the necessary steps to be
taken, and acted as temporary chair
man of the meeting.
After the explanation by Mr.. Jew
ell, the meeting proceeded to the busi-
ness of organizing. The local post
will be known as the Dan r. Richard
son Post in honor of the first local
boy to give his life in the service. Dan
Richardson died at Camp Dodge early
in 1918, altar suffering untold agon-
les from complication of diseases.
This policy is being carried out
throughout the nation. Each post
will be named for service man who
made the supreme sacrifice.
The officers Of the local post are
scattered throughout the county, to
the end that all communities will feel
a first-hand interest in the post. The
commander, adjutant and historian
are located at Linton, primarily for
the sake of convenience. The histor-
ian, Mr.. A. H. Irvine. is a veteran of
two wars, he having served with a
Colorado regiment during the Span
ish War. Upon Mr.. Irvine will de-
volve the important duty Of perfect
ing an accurate history of all the
men in the war from Emmons county
Any service man in the county de-
string information relative to the new
post, or any information relative to
military matters in which he Is inter-
ested, should communicate with the
adjutant, Mr.. A. e. Becker, Linton,
N. d.
In the list of officers will be found
soldiers, sailors and marines. The ad-
jutant and the sergeant-at-arms are
sailors, the finance officer marine.
and the rest represent the various
branches Of the army.
The dues will be determined at the
next regular meeting July 18th, and
will likely be in the neighborhood Of
81 per year. It is the intention to
hold one meeting in each Of the larg-
er towns Of the county, to the end
that all the service men will be
brought in touch with their new or
ganization.
The meeting at the opera house de-
monstrated the fact that there is
plenty Of interest in such an organi-
zation. It also showed that the SOL
diers Of Russian German extraction
are going to be among the most ac-
tive members. The Legion is not a
political organization in any sense. 1t
stands on q straight-ou Americaniza-
tion platform, and will endeavor to
WELD an influence for unalloyed pat
riotism in the nation.
Before the meeting adjourned, a
vote Of thanks was given Mr.. Jewell
for his assistance and to DR.. Hogue
for the tender Of the use Of the Vor-
lander drug store building for head
quarters on the 4th Of July.
Following IL the Official report Of
the organization meeting:

off -Braddock VI. Linton. The Brad
dockites copped the game, 2 to 8, in
six innings. The Lintonites showed
the effects Of their days work in this
game. Severaf sof the players had
marched ID the. parade and had play
ed the game in the forenoon. In the
sixth inning the game was called to
allow time for the rsst of the pro-
gram.
Foot-races and swimming-races
were then run of for the pleasure of
the audience. During the afternoon,
dancing took place in the pavilion
with music furnished by an orchestra
from Strasburg. In the evening.
Smiths orchestra furnished music for
q dance which drew a mammoth,
crowd.
Refreshment stands run by the city
were rushed all day. A well had been
dug. and fresh water was available
for the visitors. An electric plant had
been installed and the park was light
ed by electricity.
The Record man had the pleasure
of visiting with perhaps hundred Of
the visitors. 1t was noticeable fact
that all the visitors seemed perfectly
|contented. Amusenents provided
were not on a par with many Fourth
in the past, but the satisfaction Of
the audience seemed to far surpass
anything Of n similar past occasion.
The Park itself was what did the bust
ness. Neighbors visited back and
forth in the shade, anc many were
content simply to rest and watch the
crowds.
In the space provided for parking
cars, no such line-up of automobiles
was ever bsfokk seen in the county
Attempts ,wefe made to count them
but no actual count could be made. II
is safe to place the number Of cars in
excess Of 1900. That automobile
park spoke eloquently of the prosper
ous condition Of the people Of this
county today. Guards had been sta
toned in the auto park to prevent ac-
cidents and to keep conditions from
becoming congested.
It is certain that no large crowd
was ever more comfortable than the
mammoth attendance at Seeman Park
that day. With swimming, ETC., no
accidents marred the day, the incident
in the parade being the nearest to d
misfortune.
Every nook and Granny of this
county was represented. in that crowd.
Large numbers Of Braddock people
were here; the Rebeccas Of lHazelton
held their picnic in the park; Pollock,
Westield, Dale, Strasburg, Hague,
and every other part Of the county
seemsd to have attended en- masse.
Sseman Park is heralded as a ''find''
in every part Of the county. From
one end to the other of the county its
beauties are still the subject Of conn
ment. And the work on the park has
lust begun. All preparations had
been made in = fortnight prior to the
Fourth. The pavilion was barely
started, and many Of the improve
msnts dispensed with for lack Of time
and help. Every carpenter in the

THE FOURTH AT LINTON
Seeman Park Opened With Mammoth
Crowd on the Fourth. Work to
BE Continued


Crowd on the Fourth. Work to
Be CONTINUED
Seeman Park was the Mecca for
the people of the county on the
Fourth this year.
Numerous estimates Of the number
Of visitors to the Park last Friday
place the average at about 1000 peo-
pie. Old-tirners who have attended
all notable gatherings in the county
in the last thirty years are of one
mind in saying that the attendance
at the opening, Of the Park far ex-
ceeded any gathering of any kind in
the county in its history.
The parade was pulled OF between
9and 10 in the morning, and, despite
the early hour, there was a large
crowd in town at that time. When
the head Of the parade reached the
park, some two miles from town, a
line Of automobiles extended all the
distance.
So much work was needed to put
the park in shape that no great
amount Of effort HAD been expended
|, ii perfscting the entertainment for
day. However, the parade in the
hing proved Interesting. The par.

turned soldier, on horseback carrying
the nag. Following him was the band

ed the tractor. Behind the band came

Then came q number of neat fioats
and then the automobiles. The SOL
diers marched the entire distance to
the park.
The days entertainment narrowly
escaped being marred by an accident
at the outset. There is q swale across
the road as the park is neared. The

MILK TAKES PLACE OF BOOZE

We are informed bv the creamery
owners that since the saloons have
gone out of commission the sale of
milk has increased at least. 20 uer
cent. That might be encouraging If
it were not fresh in our memories
that few months ago, two wears
perhaps. we were told in the winter
time that the price of milk must go
up. 1t went up. Summer came and
it STAYED up, and winter came and
it went up again, and summer is here
and it is up almost as ever, and now
comes a good excuse for it to take
another jump. We are not clamor-
ing for more booze, but lets start
some more dairies.

ROAD BUILT OF EPSON SALTS
Texas to Have Unique Highway Ten
Miles Long, Say State High
way Officials.

Austin, Tex-A road of EPSON salts
Is an attraction Texas can soon hold
ont TO tourists, according to the state
highway department.
Ten miles of highway out of Rock
mort is being surfaced with material
which analyses more than one-fourth
epsOm salts. The material is obtained
from flats wh.re constant evaporation
of gulf water has left silt strongly i'm
pregnated with salts, among which the
epsom variety predominates.
Highway engineers declare the mix
ture forms an excellent road surfac-
ing. material, as the salts absorb
enough moisture from the air to keep
the roads damp. free from dust and
firm on the dryest days. One trouble,
however, is that the road becomes
very slippery during wet weather, out
this is overcome by adding a small pro-
portion of shell and regulating the
'lope of the surface.
