Every indiscretion has been
seized upon by learned counsel for

nothing about socialism.
Hillquit said the committee had
no right to consider any charges

LiOn.Iike Weather for March.

March came in like a lamb al.
right, but the day following started
to go out as lion. Monday was
as nice a winter day as ore could
ask for. but Tuesday was blus,ery.
with frequent squalls of snow
f1urries. which turned genuine
North Dakota blizzard during the
night and ragged all day WEDNESDAY.
Thursday was clear. but cold with
a stiff wind which piled up the
snow in drifts and bIockaded traffic.
A few telephone and telegraph wires
have been reported out of order and
the trains have experienced some
delay in running. some being hours
late. The snow plow has CLEANED
one Of the tracks. but the other il
blocked and causes all the trains to
run on the one track.
In the city. the snow measures
from six inches to eighteen inches
deep and is the most snow that has
fallen here this winter. The city
ploW has cleaned the walks so they
are passable.' - but autoes and even
Fords have tough time making
headway on the streets. It is to
be hoped that the rest of March
weather won't be of the Lionliken
brand as it is too much for this part
of the country.

Auxiliary Membership Campaign On.

The campaign for new members
for the Auxiliary of Birch Post No.
8 has been started and reports are
very encouraging. Many new
members have already been secured
and many have signified their in
tention of joining.
1t has been decided to nostpone
the meeting of this week until a
later date SO that there would be a
larger membership and more pres
ent. The membership is limited
to the mothers, sisters, wives or
daughters of members Of the Ameri-
can Legion or to those relatives Of
men who gave their lives N the SER
vice This decision comes from the
national headquarters and the local
organization is powerless to change
this ruling. Many inquiries h We
been received as to the possibility
Of grandmothers, slster-ln-laWs,
siep-mothers, or cousins being
eligible, but according to the rul-
ing they are not.
Women who served as an enlisted
member of the navy or Marine
corps during the war are eligible
for membership in the Legion post
as are nurses who served with
either army or navy hospitals across
and were not under the pay Of the
Red Cross.
Plans are being made by the
Legion post and the Auxiliary for
Joint banquet for the members of
both CARNATIONS and for persons
eligible for membership to recruit
new members. Other plans have
been made and discussed and it is
probable that some entertainment
will be given in the near future by
these organizations.
