Entertainment and Pie Supper

Miss Ethel Daniels, a former
student of the Laclede schools,
who has been teaching the Cent
er school southeast of Meadville,
gave an entertainment and pie
supper last Friday night at the
closing of her school. 1t was a
most successful affair, an un-
usually large crowd being in at
tendance and twenty pies were
disposed of, the receipts being
$46.15.
Those who were present say
Miss Daniels certainly showed
skill and talent in training her
pupils and pronounce her one of
the best rural teachers in the
county. She will have charge of
the school again next year at a
twenty dollar raise in salary, and
her friends wish her the success
and happiness that has attended
her efforts this year.

(From Juneau Empire


 Capt. John r. Walker of Juneau, vas elected fhst commander of the Department of Alaska today at the Convention of the American Legion which closes it's session late this af- ternoon.
 After spirited contest between Valdez and Ketchikan, the former city won out for the honor of having the next Annual Territorial Conven- ton, and Harold i. Davis of the Ju- ncau Post won out in the contest for delegate to the next National Conven- ton. Ketchikan was also a contender for t.is honor.
 The complete set of officers as elected were: John P. Walker Ju- neau, Commander Department of Al aska: II. r. Dawes, Juneau, First Vice-Commander of the Department ofAlaska: LA. Talbot, ketchikan, Second Vicc-Commander; George E. Cleveland, Juneau, Finance Officer; George E. Mann, Juneau, Adjutant; Rev. John H. Hughes, Anchorage, Chaplain and Historian.
 It was decided that the next Ter ritorial Convention would be held at Valdez on the second Tuesday in April, 1921. The contest between Xetchikan and Valdez was very keen. J. A. Rossen, delegate from Valdez, held the proxies of Fort riscum, Seward and Cordova, in ad- lition to those of Valdez. L. M.

In the balloting Tn hich twenty five votes were cast Taldez won out by one vote. The other close contest was that or delegate to the next National con .ention which is to be held at Cleve- and. Ohio, Sept 30, 1921. In this Iaro!d r. Dawes won from J. A. Tal- , bot of Ketchikan by narrow margin. Mir. Talbot was however, elected as 1 alternate.
 It was decided that there would 1 be an executive committee for the department to be composed of one m ember from each post in the Ter ritory. This committee was to con ;ist of the delegate who attended ! he present con, ention. If none at ended the committeeman was to )e elected by the post. In the case ,f Juneau, which had two delegates attendance, one of the two will be I chosen.
 After some discussion a Constitu- ,ion and Bylaws, as drafted by the committee, was adopted by the Con- yention. These laws will govern Ill the Alaska posts. Several reso- utions were read and adopted.
 The convention was to terminate it's work this afternoon and the visit ng delegates are to be the guests at 1 l big public dance tonight.
