stances have put us ia position 70.

line with much that has been done.
by this library in recent years. IN.
fact, for ten years or more, we have
been sending books a little too worn

American Legion News.

Carroll Post No. 81, American Leg
ion, is about to launch a campaign
throughout the county for an increas-
ed membership. Out of about 500 ex-
service men in the county only 125
have affiliated themselves with the
American Legion. While the present
roll, as far as Westminster in concern
ed, is rather satisfactory, yet it con-
tains very few names of men from the
county. We wish to impress upon the
minds of all ex-service men residing
in Carroll county that the Carroll
Post though situated at Westminster
is not simply Westminster organiza-
tion but county post, as the name
indicates, to which all Carroll county
soldiers, sailors and marines are not
only welcome but heartily urged to
become members. room has been
secured in the Armory, and all sub
sequent meetings viii be held there
At present the Post meets at p. m.
on the second Wednesday Of each
month.
For any desired information write

Thorotghly Wholesome.

Wherever presented King of
Tramps" has been stamped 'the best"
and the most wholesome of Tramp
Comedies. AT its presentation the ap-
pIause and laughter are almost con-
tinuous and every fall of the curtain
is the signal for an ovation to the
players, which is to be considered as
a most emphatic endorsement of the
play. Such success as has been won
by this comedy is youch-safed TO but
few of the plays that use the stage
and can be won by only a play that
appeals to the best elements of the
community These are some Of the
reasons for the unprecedented success
of "The King of Tramps," which will
come to Opera House Monday, Febru-
ary 16.
