the Military sisterhood is to help all
ex-service men to find Jobs.
But 1t is not for such things primar-
lily that the sisterhood was organized
Its aim is to keep alive the fire of
patriotism that burned SO high during
the world war, to keep the memory
and deeds of the American Legion be-
fore America, to help in celebrating
all the special days in connection with
the war. 1t is an organization which
will outlast the American Legion itself
and in the coming years it may be
more coveted honor to belong than it
is now. 1t will hold similar rela-
tionship to the American Legion that
the D. A. r. does to the soldiers of
the war of the rebellion.
The Military Sisterhood is the first
organization for the relatives of SOL
diers. Since it was properly incor-
all that number of relative organiza-
tions have sprung up, but none are
built on so solid base or give promise
of lasting this one does.
National officers of the organization
are: Mrs. c. 1. Martin, president: Mrs.
president; Mrs. j. A. Benedict. Des
Moines, Ia, second vice president;
Mrs. Albert Linxwiler. Jefferson City.
Mo-, recording secretary; Mrs. 1. S.
Lewis Topeka corresponding secre-
tary, and Miss Belle X. Sutton, Beth
any. Mo, treasurer:
