JOIN THE AMERICAN LEGION.

Those Pine Bluffians who served in
the world war on this side and the
other owe it to themselves to join the
local branch of the American Legion.
Allen Hearin Post.
The legion is in a position to render
great assistance and advice in the
matter of insurance, disability claims,
unpaid allotments and all the post
service matters that affect more than
half of the men who are out of the
service. Now and in the future the
American Legion will look after the
rights of ex-service men, individual
ly and collectively.
In addition to this, it should be the
pride of every former soldier to be-
come member of the Pine Bluff
post. The men who served in the
recent war from this city and this
county made great record. Pine
Bluff had representatives in every
branch of the service. There were
many men from Pine Bluff in the
battle of the Argonne and at St.
Mill. Others were at Chateau
Thierry. There were Pine Bluffians
in France, England, Russia and Italy.
At practically every spot where the
American army worked and fought in
the recent war there was man from
Pine Bluff
Men with experiences like these
have had natural sympathy;
they have been through the mill to-
gether and know what it is to soldier
and to serve. Banded together they
could be an organization of great
benefit to themselves ard to this city.
There will be meeting Thursday
night September II of the local post.
Every ex-soldier should attend and
should join.

One Organization
of All War Veterans

San Francisco, Sept. ga move
ment looking to the amalgamation of
all organizations of veterans of
American wars may be started at the
twenty-first annual national encamp-
ment of United Spanish war veterans
which opened here today.
Resolutions proposing such a mer-
ger have been prepared for presen-
tation to the convention. Propon-
ents of the plan favor limiting each
town to one camp or unit of the cen
trail organization. Other matters to
come before the Spanish war vet
Grams are:
Resolutions memoralizing congress
to grant age and disability pensions
to Spanish war veterans and to make
pensions payable monthly instead of
quarterly.
Requests for absolute preference
to honorably discharged service men
and their widows in federal, state and
municipal employment.
Proposed amendment of the home
stead laws.
The annual election of officers is
scheduled for September 5, the clos
ing day of the encampment. Milton

PENNY BUNS VANISH.

London, Sept. 3.-Noonday tea
drinkers, of whom there are some
millions here, were recently shocked
by an advance from five to six cents
for cup of that (which cheers but

prived of penny buns. Teashops in
raising food prices gave as reason
the increased pay of mattresses. One
concern, however, recently paid an
annual dividend of IS per cent.
