THE AMERICAN LEGION

November IL, the first anniversary

be a day of national observance by
the American Legion, the national
organization of American veterans of
the Great War According to plans
announced at national headquarters of
the Legion, state organizations and
local posts throughout the country will
observe this day as American Legion

these local organizations are held,
delegates from state organizations and
local posts will meet in the first ma
tional convention of the American
Legion at Minneapolis, to effect the
permanent organization. The conven-
tiOn meets on November 10, II and IL.

MEN FOR HARVEST

Approximately $500 men will be
needed when the harvest opens in
South Dakota, declares the field agent
for the United States employment
service. The agent and Chas. Nc
Caffree, state director, have been
making preliminary survey of ex-
listing conditions and the probable
labor requirements during harvest.
They do not anticipate any shortage
will occur as there will be large
number of men coming from the Kan
sas fields where the harvest now is
in full force. These men will come
north as soon as the work is COM
pleted in the states where there arc
having harvest AT present there are
many men at Sioux City who are wait,
ing for an opportunity to obtain en-
ployment on the farms.
Mr. McCaffree, federal director Of
employment for South Dakota, says
that all the bureaus in the state are
still being maintained and the work
of placing men being taken care Of
satisfactorily He expected that the
employment service would be made
permanent as soon as congress would
have chance to readjust and act
upon the matter.
1t is requested by these officials
that all farmers make known their
wants in advance to the employment
service so that when the harvest OPP
ened the work of placing men could
be handled with greater facility.

Reporter and Farmer, touching upon
the event:
On the lofty hills of Summit,
At the summit of the Coteaux,
Dwelt little Indian maiden,
Dwelt a lovely Indian Princess;
Dwelt she with her Indian parents,
With her father, Big Chief Somers.
There the brave chief George Phillips
Sought her for the Brookings College
For student of the College,
There he sought this Indian maiden,
This little Indian Princess,
The lovely Oracle Somers.
Then they started out together.
Hand in hand they travelled westward,
To the westward and the southwark,
Till they came to Brookings city;
By the lakes of shining Campbell.
BY the shining big sea water,
Till they came to Brookings college,
BY the sandy shores Of Campbell.
Then he took her to the college,
To his classmates introduced her.
Introduced her to the teachers
And the friends that he had met there,
In the Agricultural College
Os the State of South Dakota
Then he sought to WOO and win her
Sought to win this Indian maiden,
Scratched his head and then he pom
dered,
How he'd win this Indian maiden:
Vowed he'd win her by his bravery,
By the scalplocks he had taken.
Then he told her that he loved her
Swore by tomahawk and scalpknife,
Swore by scalps that he had taken
From the students Of the College,
OF the Agricultural College
OF the State of South Dakota.
Long and laborous were his pleading;
For the hand of this fair maiden,
Vowed he'd carry all the water,
Carry all the traps in moving.
Hunt the bear and dress the wild fowl
Skin the deer and tan the hide there
For the dress of this fair maiden
She demufred and then consented,
Then consented on condition,
That he would restore the scalplocks,
All the scalps that he had taken.
From the students of the College,
OF the best and foremost College
OF the State of South Dakota.
Many moons have passed and vanished
Since we penned this little poem,
Now the brave chief George Phillips
Soon will wed his Indian maiden,
Soon will wed this little Princess,
Whom he found upon the hilltop
At the summit of the Coteaux,
In the State of South Dakota.
