AMERICAN LEGION PARTY

If there has ever been any doubt
in the minds of the young men COM
prising the membership of Neely-La-
Bar Post, of The American Legion,
concerning their standing in the esti-
nation of their fellow citizens, it was
all set at rest, Tuesday evening,
when an immense crowd greeted
IN m at the dancing party which they
gave in the Auditorium. The occa-
sion was the first anniversary of the
signing of the armistice with Ger
many, an event in which all the boys
Of the Post had hand in bringing
about and in which some of them had
some very strenuous experiences.
And so, they naturally felt the day
should be made notable and it must
nGve' been gratifying to them to find
their sentiment so generously shared
by their fellow citizens, as was made
evident by the large attendance at
the party. The writer would take
this occasion to compliment the
American Legion, as a whole, on its
patriotic spirit and policy. 1t

American form of government. 1t
stands for rationalism and delibera-
ton, as against Bolshevism, terrorism
and destruction. 1t is mighty fine
thing for our nation to have the
moral and material support of this
great body Of young men, who were
so largely instrumental in saving its
honor and perhaps its very existence,
and they, in turn, should have all the
support which the public can give
them But, to RETURN to the party
the auditorium was beautifully deco
rated with flags and incandescent
lights, covered with red crepe paper,
and presented most charming ap-
pearance. Cooks Grand Orchestra,
Of Flint, furnished the music and
more than 100 couples joined in the
festivity, the receipts being about
$118.0O. Everybody had such a
good time that we are sure the next
party given by the Legion will COM
mand very large patronage.

Orioinal Lone Tree"

There was an immense cottonwood,
four feet thick and very tall, which
stood in Nebraska almost In the CEN
ter of the continent, half way between
New York and San Francisco, which
was within one mile of that center.
Under it's branches rested thousands
of '49-ers en- route to the EldOradO Of
the Pacific coast. 1t was the best
known camping ground on the old
California trail. From 1849, when the
gold seekers rushed across the great
plains down to the completion Of the
Union Pacific railway, the great tree
was a guidepost to the wagon trains
going west.
After the railway was completed
there was no further use for the old
tree and 1t eventually rotted away and
died. In 1910 a monument was
erected on the spot that the tree had
occupied. 1t represents the trunk Of
q giant cottonwood and bears this In
scription: ION this spot stood the
original Lone Tree on the old Cali.

Iceland In History.

Iceland was settled long before
America had been discovered. ABOUT
LOO years ago some scandinavian
sailors were overtaken by violent
storm. After the ship had been tossed
about in the rough sea, they arrived at
the shore Of Iceland. Later, when the
weather became calmer, they sailed all
around the land, and so knew that II
was an island. But 1t was not until
about hundred years later that
Norwegian named Floki, having heard
rumors Of the new land, set out from
Norway to find and explore 1t. Floki
did not fare very well in Iceland
which was largely his own fault. For
one thing, he did not make any hay
in the summer, SO. Of course. all the
cattle he had taken with him died
in the winter, for there was nothing
for them to eat. So, very much dis
couraged, he returned to Norway and
gave bad reports Of Iceland. But II
happened that Haraldr, one Of the
many chiefs who ruled Norway, made
I'D his mind to conquer the other chiefs
and make himself king Of all. For q
long time there was fierce and bitter
warfare between Haraldr and tho
other chiefs. But he was very strong
and rich, and finally succeeded in max.
ing himself king. Then his former en-.
emies had to flee from Norway. Some
went to Scotland and Ireland, some to
the Hebrides and Orkney and Shetland
islands--and some went to Iceland.
That was the beginning Of the settle
ment Of Iceland.

folded back and these Tapped with the
