"Policies, Not Politics"
Policies, not politics. is the slogan
Of the American Legion" declares
Chairman Molumby Of the convention
committee. While the headquarters OF
the state organization is located at the
state capitol, in the very heart of the
political organization, it will be almost
impossible to keep the legion from be
coming mixed more or less IN the politics
of the state While the American Legion
members will vote practically 100 per

candidates for office, and will uphold
bills and laws which tend to make
better state, yet the aim of the legion
is to keep out of politics"

Tentative plans have been made for
Cascade county saxaphone band to ac-
company the Great Falls delegates to
the convention. A number of vocal Sc
lections will be given, and it is under
stood that northern Montana delegates
are also preparing a unique program.
Besides the program planned for the
trip to Livingston, local entertainers will
also probably be included in the enter

Indications Favorable.
All this will but prove to the re-
mainder Of the state legion forces that
Great Falls is in the field in full force
to capture their objective-the state
headquarters this coming conven-

have made trips to many of the smaller

the campaign and reports which have
been received indicate that the head

that is necessary now is the Livingston

While Great Falls Iegionaires claim
that the bringing of the state legion ex-
ecutiyes to this city would be beneficial
to the welfare of the department Of
Montana, the location of the headquar-
ters in Great Falls would also be a
benefit TO the city.
At least four families would be
brought to Great Falls with the head
quarters. a big bank account would be
deposited here. and large amount of
supplies would be purchased in this city.

"At this juncture, a letter informs
Newlands that an old friend of his
father has died in Hawaii, and that
the old friends daughter, Beatrice
Crittenden, with a hundred thous-
md dollars in her own right, is be-
ing entrusted to Newland's care and
will soon arrive at his home. Munroe.
without saying anything openly, sub
tly suggests to Newlands that New
lands marry, or pretend to marry,
the girl. and obtain her money 20
make up his embellishments. New
lands protests that he has not yet
sunk so low, and firmly refuses to
consider the proposition; but the fact
that his shortage will soon be dis
covered, together with Munroe's
fiendishly clever way of working on
Newlands' weaknesses, begin to have
their effect"
Note the amount of incident and
Characterization that is contained in
this one short paragraph. The girl
is introduced, the circumstances con-
corning her arrival are made clear,
and we begin to see the trend of the
first part of the story. Observe fur
Their that no conversation is neces-
sary to show what Munroe says to
Newlands, or what Newlands replies.
That is what we mean when we
advise amateur writers not to tell US
what characters SAY, but to tell us
what they DO.
If the above paragraph had at
tempted to show the exact words used
by the two men, it would be three
times its present length, and vet
would not be bit clearer.

A motion picture synopsis Is
summary. or outline, in narrative

flowers of speech. Tell your story
briefly, without wasting words; but
do not sacrifice clarity by leaving

used. but the present tense is pre-

To illustrate some of these points
