Few Of us realize the importance OF
saving waste paper. Today when the
country is threatened with a wood and
paper famine and our forests are dis
appearing so rapidly every effort
should be made to save every scrap
Of paper It is estimated that the saw.
Ing Of paper would make it possible to
save over 1000 100000 feet Of lumber
each year. Waste paper, such as old
magazines. books, all kinds of printed
matter and paper books. tnkes the
place of wood pulp and saves mil
lions of trees. Such material is used
for paper, making paper boxes, roof
ing and building boards and paper
shipping containers Of all kinds. which
carry as much as 100 pounds. II ev-

Happiness is to be found 10 many

AMERICAN LEGION IN 1892
First Regular Army Was Patterned
After That Of the Fighters
Of Old Rome.

The first american Legion" was
founded in 1892, and It's existence. by
that name terminated in 1896. War
department records show that when
the regular army was recognized in
1902. following the Revolutionary
war. It was first officially designated
the Legion, and was divided into
four "sub-legions," Of which the Fourth
United States infantry was part, the
Detroit News states.
The idea of designating the United
States army as the legion originated
with General Knox, secretary Of war
under George Washington. The army
was patterned after the Roman legion,
the old military organization under
which julius Caesar and his success
ors conquered rs much Of the world as
was then known.
The American Legion" was COM
manded by Gen. Anthony Wayne
C"Afad Anthony and was organized
under his direction at Pittsburgh in
May. 1902. President Washington In

powder and lead, so that the men be
made marksmen.- The legion fought

Then the train drew in and present

hand, while Beatrice's mother c0nsid-
erately withdrew little. It was only
fvc-minute stopover, hardly enough
to bother with-yet during 80 brief
an interval the destinies of nations
