At this meeting dele safes to the State Convention will be elected and instructed as to the choice of a name for the Bridgeport Post of the Legion. IL is urged by the executive committee that every man in the city who is eligible to membership in the Legion attend this meeting so that a representative body be present at the time names for the local Post are placed in nomina- tiou.
 The names of several local heroes are being mentioned for the honor.

AMERICANS NOT ALL MONEY MAD
 MILLE0NAIRES

London. July 25.-"The typical American is no more a boisterous multi-millionaire with coarse manners and only money ideals than the typical Englishman is the glacial, monocled, high society speciman who calls every thing 'rippin' and ultimately marries a chorus girl"
 This was the comment of H. Y. Braddon, recently Trade Commissioner for Australia at Washington. at a 1un- cheon given him in London by Aus tralian and other officials.
 Their home life in the States is charming" said MT Brandon. and their conver ation is directed to sub jects of interest to the stranger in the most courteously considerate way. They have no special admiration for wealth as such, but only for wealth as wisely and generously used"

 It cost the town about s1.O0O to eradicate the fly nuisance which was accom- plished by requiring that ma nure be screened and frequently re- moved.
 pr. Trembley regards swat the fly campaigns as useless and says the only way to eliminate flies is 10 put ban on all their breeding places and he adds, that this can be done

FORMER ASHDOWN GIRL
 ATTENDS THE Y. ". c. A,
Is Attending Y. w. c. A. Conference at Camp in HOllister
 Missouri.

Hollister, Mo,.My Lear Friends of AshdoWn: It is somewhat presump tious of me to write you of the \. W. c. A. conference I am attending here. know though you are interested in any work for girls. This with my friendship for you causes me to write through the Little River News
 About three hundred girls from towns and cities of eight states have gathered here for a conference of city association work. This work is on Presbyterian Hill, about six miles from the Shepherd of the Hills set ting. At the foot of the hill, sixty high school girls from Arkansas and Missouri have met for a conference. The locations are only short distance apart, but going from one to the other means going down and climbing 390 steps
 The afternoons are largely spent in recreation Crowds have gone to the
 
 Dewey Bold of Harold Bell Wrights' famous novel. White River is paro- doxically named nevertheless it gives opportunity for delightful swimming and rowing. Another pleasant trip is to the School of the Ozarks' The building for this school was originally the state building of Maine at the St Louis Exposition. It was removed here by some men of St Louis for a club house. Three years age the build ing and grounds were purchased by the Southern Presbyterian board and a high school was opened. Last year, eighty students were enrolled. Most of these boarded in the school. The situation is commanding as it over looks the White River, the surround ing valleys and the faraway noun tains. I wish it were possible for ma to give you something of the inspira- tion which comes from the talks, the personalities, the mountains and the sunsets. To hear some one only six weeks from Russia tell of the compli- cated difficulties facing the women there; to listen to another who has been with the Chinese girls as they struggle long hours in factories or to one who has seen the helpless express sion from the Hindu women or who has been an inspiration to the heroic French women as they made ''the sec ond line of defense" in the munition factories-all these widen ones hori- zon. immensely.
 Then the wonderful charm of these mountains are most alluring. Alto gether it is surely something of the beauty which Wordsworth says dis turbs with the joy of elevated thoughts. In the evenings, we sit on the rocks and sing as the sun goes down behind the mountains Then it is that the sense of an Eternal Pres ence Thrills
 The fringes of the sunsets and the hills, and we feel with Carlyle that Music leads us to the verge of the in> finite and lets us gaze on that.
 The girls are full of enthusiasm Texas girls far outnumber any other state. They not only sing Texas songs at almost every opportunity. but they are quite we'll known by their wearing blue bonnets, the state flower Kan> sas people are known by. the sunflower and Arkansas usually advertises the RazOrback
 With very best wishes to my friends of Ashdown, l am most cordially,
 Rosebud Vaughan Savage.
