ate conferees

can Legion to take part in the funeral
of cOmrade whose body was brought
from overseas was Roy w. Kelly post

until the services on the following
day. The members of the post attend
ed the funeral in civilian clothes. with
the exception of the pail bearers and
the firing squad. who were in full
uniform. The body was escorted from
the chapel to the church, where legion
members were seated in a group. AZ
ter the services the post formed ranks
In front of the hearse and marched
to the city limits. Here the ranks
were opened and the men uncovered

lowed the cortege TO the cemetery for
the final ceremonies and salute.

Of more uan :our day. Membership
figures have not yet been compiled. but
when il is realized that at least ten
women are necessary requisite for
the formation Of any one auxiliary
unit of any American Legion post it is
seen that probably 1900 or 1000
women We're thus indirectly associated
with the legion through it's auxiliary
units before the end of last month. To
what proportions this total will have
grown in another six months is for ex-
perts to say, but an estimate of 1000
units with total membership of more
than 10000 is not considered extrava-
CANT.
Minnesota. with an aggregate of as
such units completely organized, has
a substantial lead over all other states
in the Union in the matter of arOuSing
