AMERICAN LEGION MEMBER.
SHIP DRIVE.


Indianapolis. Ind, May 13.-Mem-
bers OF The American Legion, who
will conduct a nationwide campaign
for new members, May 1922, believe
that their chief enemy will be none
other than old General Inertia.
The Legion now has approximately
Gne and half million members and
seeks to get million more. When it
is remembered that four and a half
million men and women are eligible
for membership, by reason of active
service in the World War. in army,
navy or marine corps, it does not seem
that The Legion's aim is an extrava-
giant one.
Posts throughout the country, of
which there are now about $500, re-
port that their chief obstacle in get
ting men to join has been mere in
ertia. Thousands of men are con-
WINGED of the desirability of Legion
membership and are in hearty accord
with it's principles. But they have
failed to "obey that impulse" and be-
come active members. 1t is believed
a national membership push will sup
ply the additional impetus that will
cause-a majority of these victims of
inertia to join The Legion.
The Legion has done enough bene-
ficial things for ex-service men gen.
orally, whether they were members
of the organization or not, to earn it
a high place in the affections of these
men. The Legion has obtained from
Congress an increase of base pay for
the disabled from $50 to $50 month.
1t has adjusted thousands of claims
for war risk insurance for service
men and their dependents.
Until The Legion took hold, the
Federal Board for Vocational Train
ing was not functioning properly in
many districts. Recently a plan Of
: cooperation between The Legion anc
the board has been devised, thai
promises to speedily solve the rehab
ilitation problem for all the disabled
The Legion has helped to secure
preference for ex-service persons ant
their widows in civil service appoint
ments and special preference for tn,
disabled
The four-fold compensation bill TO
all eX-service persons, now befor
Congress is familiar to all as bein,
the handiwork of The Legion. Bac
in those days just following demob
ilization, The Legion was an activ
agency for employment and co
!. operated with national, state and pri
vate organizations to speedily returl
service men to profitable and suit
able employment.
A recent act of the organization
has been to raise fund Throughout
the nation, with which to decorate tn
graves of all the soldier dead i
France. To this purpose the none
is being forwarded to the Paris pos
of The Legion, and this post will ST
perintend the ceremonies.
In all these activities The Legio
s has acted for service men as who
and not only for its members.
: great many service men are expecte
a to reciproeate by joining The Legio
L now.

Ancient Mesopo,amia.

Survey research work in Mesopota-
mia has revealed the fact that in for
mer times the country was covered
with network Of canals, showing that
a very celebrated system Of irrigation
must then have been In vogue. Some
Of these canals were 20 feet deep With
steep embankments. This interesting
information was stated by Lieut.. Col
@. A. Beazeey. royal engineers. in a
lecture given by him at the British
Royal Geographical society recently,
He also brought to light the fact that
the city of Samarrah. which is now
comparatively unimportant town, at a
period before the Christian era must
have been one of the most populous
trading centers of the East The an
cient city was 20 miles in length and
2ia in width, and it is estimated that
it contained about 100000 inhabit-
ants, There were miles of walls and
warehouses, and II formed a conyerg-
Ing point for caravans from vast
area. Another city in Mesopotamia.

having been laid out on the lines of a

Wl1s,a ohiinationa.

The sense Of obligation holds nan
steody when temptations threaten to
overcome him. Every fellow who has
learned to respect his mother owes her
his nobest conduct. Many a fellow
has been deferred from going wrong
by the memory OF his mother. So we
might mention the various agencies
that have helped TO mold his char
acter. They oil contribute toward his
development. And TO every one he
owes obligations. And not least among
them is the obligation a man owes the
boss It's not just a matter OF pay
envelopes, as some suppose. It's a
matter Of making the business pay.
The more YOU make the business earn
the better can the boss afford 10 pay.
So the real man sees to Il that l.e IS
Just to himself, his friends and his en-
ployer. This allegiance will save him
from going far neutrality-suspicious.

Extending Health Work in

the Health Directorate of the Maine
Chamber of Commerce and Agricul-
tural League, in organizing the work
of this new division, will shortly ap-
counties in the State, these chairmen
to be chosen from the physicians and
health workers in each community.
Three hundred questionnaires
have been sent out, through the State
Chamber Of Commerce, to Oranges in
the State, asking information as to
the adequacy of medical attendance
in rural communities" said Dr. Bris-
toll Tuesday:
THUS far, 81 replies have been re-
ceived and the answers to the ques-
tions reveal a situation far more seri-
GUS and startling than was antici-
pated," continued DR.. Bristol
"Out of 81 communities, but Is have
resident doctors, and two other COM
munities report their doctors too old
for efficient service. A total of At
communities are without medical aid,
and 80 rural centers have no nurse
available for emergecy or even ordi-
nary practice.
Even in centers where a doctor is
available in a measure, the service is
inadequate. because of the distances
which separate the physician and his
patients. In 16 communities the doc
tor lives from one to four miles away;
in % communities he lives from FIVE
to eight; while in nine communities
he is from nine to II miles away.
I'm response to the QUESTIONABLE,
20 communities among the number
which have already reported, put in
an urgent plea for a resident physi-
clan to attend to their needs"
