The American Legion, the civilian
organization of American veterans OF
the World War, is now completely or
ganized in Addison County, the first
county in the state to be fully organ
lied. The Legion was first organized
in Paris, March 10 to H. 1919, by a
thousand officers and men, delegates
from all the units of the American
EXpeditionary Force to an organization
meeting, which adopted a declaration
of principles and selected the name
American Legion" The action of the
Paris meeting was confirmed and en-
dorsed by a similar meeting in St.
Louis May s to 10, 1919, when the
Legion was formally recognized by
troops who served in the United States.
Since the St Louis meeting the state
organizations and the local posts have
been organized.
In Addison County there are five
local posts These are located at Yer
gennes, Bristol, Shoreham, Middlebury
College, and Middlebury. The County
is divided up into districts surrounding
these towns These districts are not
arbitrary, for every veteran of the
World War is entitled to join the Post
most convenient to him The Middle
bury College Post is made up of the
students and faculty members who
were in the war.
A membership drive is to take place
all over the country beginning Sept
18th, and ending Saturday night Sept.
2Oth. One million members is the goal,
and Lets stick together" is the slogan.
For the state branch whose member
ship on American Legion Day, Novem-
Der II, shows that it most effectively
The American Legion in
its territory, there will be the honor of
with proper ceremony, in
the presence of Marshal Foch of
France and other distinguished guests,
a banner proving to the country that
this state led all Others in The Septem-
Der Drive.
Roy D. Harris, temporary chairman
Of the local organization, is urging the
of Addison County to stick
together" and help get this banner for
Vermont. Every veteran, says Har-
lis, Should get IN touch with the secre-
tary of his most convenient post, and
enroll at once in the American Legion.

The third convocation of Congrega-
tional ministers of Vermont has been in
session at the college this week and has
been attended by some 100 or more
clergymen of that denomination from
all parts of the state. This meeting, be-
gun three years ago as an experiment,
has secured such a hold upon the peo-
pie concerned, as shown by its steadily
increasing attendance and interest, that
it bids fair to become a permanent in
stitute for the Congregational clergy
men of the state.
The convocation is unique in itself
and unlike any of the stated meet
ings OF the church. 1t is not a
gathering for securing reports of work
accomplished. 1t does not consider f.
nancial problems as such 1t is not at
all in the nature of a vacation or
social recreation club. The attendants
live in the college buildings and eat
together in common dining hall where
much of good fellowship is enjoyed and
yet, everyone understands that social
amenities is not the first consideration.
The convocation is first and foremost
a school OF methods. 1t is a theological
seminary on a small scale The teach
ing force consists of picked men from
all parts of the country, experts in
their several lines, and up-to-date in
their methods. 1t is a training camp
for Christian soldiers, where old veter-
ans and raw recruits alike are shown
how to handle the most modern weap-
ons of their warfare. And without
doubt a good many men who come to
the convocation with an old wornout
smooth-bore rifle dumps it on the
scrap heap and carries home a 20th
century machine gun warranted to put
to rout the world, the flesh and the
devil.
1t could not be otherwise. No COM
pany of alert Vermont clergymen could
possibly sit at the feet of such teachers
as Prof Porter of Yale college, Dean
Charles R. Brown of the Divinity
school, Rev. Mr. Sheldon of the ReGg-
ous Education society, DR.. Robert
Hume, 45 years a missionary in India,
and Dr. Herring of the American Board
.or Foreign Missions, for almost solid
week, without being nightly inspired.

SUGGESTS FISHER (
FOR HALL OF FAME

By N. E. Brown in Syracuse Herald
Is the gentleman who tends the door
at the hall of fame about to open the
portals for Ray Fisher?
Maybe so,
At least Fisher, one of the fortunate
members of Pat Moran's crew, hopes to
get the high sign.
Fisher broke into the big leagues
back in 1910 as a member of the Yam
KEGS under George Stallings. Ray had
the earmarks of great hurler and for
short intervals looked like one, but for
some reason or other couldn't stand the
pace.
The fact that the Yankees never got
far out of the rut might have had
something to do with Fishers inability
to break through the crust. He had
one big year, however, when he won
IS and lost II games for the mediocre
Gotham crew
Last spring he was released to the
Cincinnati club as part of the Schnei-
der deal. He started off like a whirl-
wind for Moran, but lately has not
been used very frequently. He is not
done, though, by any means. Moran
has been using Sallee, Eller, Luque,
Ring, and Reuther and they have been
going without help from Ray.
1t looks more and more as though
nothing can keep the Reds away from
Pennantville and if they do break into
the grand grind Fisher may be Of
value to Moran in one of two ways or
both.
He has pitched to practically all of
the men who stand chance of break
ing into the series from the American
League end and knows their peculiari-
ties and weaknesses If he does not
get into the game he will be able to
slip the hurlers who do some pointers.
Then there is the other way. He
may break into the game, Moran fig
uring that he might be able to halt the
opposition because of his knowledge
of them, although Miller Higgins and
other American league managers fig
ured he was through.
think there is no one who would
begrudge Fisher the glory that would
be his if he did get the big chance and
made good.
