State Legion Officer Speaks.

The start Of a greater interest
and a more clearly defined program
and understanding of the American
Legion was given by Frank L. Sieh.
member of the State Executive
committee to 100 Legion members
and ex-service men last Thursday
evening at the first Big meeting Of
the 'unty service men. He said:
The Legion stands for truth and
justice to all. favoring no organ;z-
alton and opposing none except the
l. w. w. and kindred groups which
are openly and avowedly against
the government, said Mr.. Sieh.
The Legion is not against organic
ed labor, neither is il for it. but
stands for just and good measures
which the labor unions may demand.
But to irdorse labor unions as
whole would be to indorse their bad
as we'll as their good points, and the
Legion endeavors to stand for the
good only.
The Legion is sometimes accus-
ed Of being run by and for the
Officers and it is asserted that the
enlisted personel have no voice or
control in the government at all.
Gentlemen, nothing il more unjust
than this. The post elects a repre-
sentative to the state convention and
the state convention elects the ma
t;onal representatives. 1t is in
your hand to say who goes TO the
state convention. The dough
boy and "gob" out-number the
officers 20 to l. But this want
to urge upon you. gentlemen, send
good men, enlisted man or officers.
for the making Of the Legion rests
in the hands Of the men you select
for the conventions.

Mr.. Sieh was delayed and did not
arrive until $40. He spoke about
an hour and then the meeting was
turned over to the men present. who
asked questions. Mr.. Sieh's ad-
dress is Aberdeen. and correspond
ence is invited by him.
The plans for the annual meeting
of the Milbank post were postponed
until after the first Of the year, be-
cause of the fact that the speaker
did not arrive until late. The
annual meeting will be held the first
week in January at which time
officers will be elected and the
plans for the coming year discussed.
Only about lGO men were present.

southern part of the county. Train

tion Of the roads were in a measure
responsible for the small attend
ance. DIFFERS of the local post ex-
pressed satisfaction at the turn out,
as this was the first attempt to in-
clude all Legion members and ex.
service men.

The language and traditions com

other family bonds; they draw kindred
together at the greater crises of life.
but they also occasion at times little
friction and fault finding. The ground.
work Of the two societies is so similar
that each nation, feeling almost at

resent what hinders II from feeling at

NOT HURT BY WARM CLIMATE
Writer Denies That Life In the Trop-
les 10 Enervating to Whites
Dwelling There.

The opinion is widespread In north
ern climes that continuously warm
climate, unbroken by sharp periodic
changes. is enervating and detrimental
to the white man. This opinion is sub
stantiated by considerable variety
of evidence. Exception, however, is
taken by Vaughan MacCaughey. writ
ing in Science.
Hawaii is sub-tropical The signifl-
cant fact is that the "whfe" popula-
tion lives american Style"
The hours Of labor for business men,
professional men and laborers are just
as long as In northern regions. The
holidays and vacation periods are no
more numerous. The lunch period is
one hour Mt noon. and there Is no
siesta.
A white laboring class does not ex-
ist in Hawaii. This Is due, however,
not to climatic conditions. but to the
economic competition of cheap ori-
entail labor.
1t must be acknowledged that the
change from northern to sub-trop
ical climate does not always agree with
the white women. Some suffer from
poor health and more or less profound
functional arrangement. However. the
problem Is an open one as to whether
this is directly due to climatic mali
adaptation.

Spread Love Of Good Music.

The greatest factors that exist at
the present time In the spreading OF
music and the inducement of a love

done to promote general musical
knowledge cannot be Overestimated.
Why. you meet people who, few
years ago, would not have known the
name of one great musical compost
tion. who now are familiar not only
with the composers, but with their
foremost Interpreters and the ways In
which these interpretations have been
conceived. These people know every
note of works they hadn't even heard II
few years ago.
1t is not enough for n composition
