LEGION GOES AFTER
JOBS FOR SOLDIERS

Every post in the American Legion
is now going after jobs for soldiers
with enthusiasm and earnestness.
The plan for the legion to assist OK
service men in establishing themselves

Arthur Woods, assistant TO the secre-

AS Colonel Woods says THE present
situation proves that the enormous
majority of the men have found en-
ployment. Two investigations made
last month, one by the United States
Employment service and one by the
War Camp Community service, show
about 10000 men still out of work. 1t
is for these men that We ask assist

a bachelor, regarded her with fear and
trembling; she was so very obvious
ly after him. He cured her, though,
one day by making a fortunate slip.
The dear lady met him in the village,
and stopped him.
She talked of this, that, and the 9TH

where she could talk about herself.

She turned and gazed away to the

The vicar muttered the strongest
word in his vocabulary, and then said
hastily:

HAIL "PUNKlN," KING OF PIES
Who That Has Ever Tasted the Real
Article Can Forget the Thrill
of the First Mouthful2

You can't spell punkin pie with an
"m" and a ''p." Pumpkin pie is the
kind one gets in restaurants. favored
with cloves and allspice. "Punkin" pie
has cinnamon and ginger in it, and
sometimes a hint of an unmentiOn-
able beady fluid about which one
would not dare ask mother. And of
all the smacking, ambrosial delicacies
catalogued under the genus ''pie" the
best is ''punkin"
One grows hungry at the thought of
''punkin" pie-the crisp, crinkly crust;
the thick, rich, pungent filling, with the
dust of cinnamon furnishing its tawny
top: the creamy, dreamy, velvety, far
away taste as ones mouth closes on
its prize. Some appetizing joys there
are, but none that exceeds capturing
a piece of ''punkin" pie, getting it into
ones hands, contrary to all social
usage, biting into 1t until one almost
mires up to ones nose, until one can
scarce see over the top of the upstand-
ing crust, and beginning the unequaled
delight of devouring the first mouth
full. To taste ii is to love it. Love
but it, and love forever.-Milwaukee
