THE, AMERICAN LEGION

The American Legion, composed OF
men in the service in the late war,
those who served abroad as well as
those who were not sent overseas, Is
thoroughly democratic organization
in that officers and men in the ranks
are equal in the deliberations OF the
Legion and its actions. That it's pur-
pose is altogether worthy is evident
in the constitution of the Legion
wherein it is set forth that the organ.
ization is formed ito uphold and de-
fend the Constitution of the United
States of America, to maintain law
and order, to foster and perpetuate a
100 per cent Americanism," all of
which purposes are especially in or
der at this time and at all times.
In the recently held first annual
convention of the American Legion It
was clearly demonstrated that the Or
ganization proposes to keep out OF
politics, to keep clear of entangling
political alliances-in other words TO
be fairly and squarely for America
and Americanism, with policies but
without politics. This gives encour-
agement that these virile, intelligent
young men will, individually and COL
lectively, make Of themselves by their
conduct as citizens and in civic af-
fairs a power for good. Their oppor-
tunities to live for peace and its bless.

interesting happenings occurred;

almost like 1t for SIS. There were also
small remembrances donated to re.

pins-some bracelets-others presents

since we had a jewelry auctioneer in
the city. Such a person is marvel

upon the other in monotone-his
trampings back and forth, all of it held
one fascinated. You got SO excited
wondering who next would join in and
