The Denison Post of the American
Legion held their first meeting in their
new quarters at the city hall on Mon
day evening and a goodly number of
the members were in attendance.
A report of the state convention
held last week was made by Clement
7. WEIGH one of the local delegates.
He stated that service men of Iowa
are taking an active interest in Legion
affairs. At the first convention only
about three hundred service mon were
in attendance while at the convention
held last week there was close to fif.
teen hundred present. The cOnyen-
ton went on record in favor of legal
lied boxing under a state commission
and are anxious that a law be passed
by the next legislature permitting this
sport.
Those in charge Of the Legion picnic
the effect that the affair was not n
money maker but that the revenue
would probably take care of all the ex.
penscs. They are well pleased with
their efforts and hope to make 1t an
annual event and even more successful
each succeeding year.
1t was decided to give another series
of dances this fall and winter which
will be, welcome news to our young
people who enjoyed the parties given

under the auspicies Of the Legion and
as the first number will be given the

cided to push the sale of season tickets
in the near future. The course select.
cd this year Is made up Of the highest
grade talent ever brought to Denison
by lysceum bureau and in order to
make it success financially it will
be necessary that the Legion receive
the hearty support of our citizens.
Plans are being made by the service
men for furnishing their new quarters
in the city hall. The room has recent
~ been redecorated but lacks the nee.
essary furniture. 1t has been suggest
ed that the people of Denison be ap.
pealed to. to donate pieces Of furniture
for fitting UP the room. This sugges,
tiOn.S is "a. good one There js hardly a
home but what has some article of
furniture but what could be spared for
the Legion quarters ind would be glad
ly donated.

PULLING TOGETHER

Unity is fundamental to all other fac
tors that create community advance.
II you have not got a lot of people who
pull together you will not have the good
schools and good stores and improve.
ments and the other conditions that
create and stand for progress.
If there are many personal jealousies
in a city. if organizations cherish bitter
feelings of rivalry. if different neighbor-
hoods are unfriendly, you throw wet
blanket over every effort that anyone
makes to improveconditions.
People will not give time and effort
to public causes unless they can feel
that they have universal cooperation.
Neatness, beauty, publ esprit. bust
ness hustle, good schools good stores,
improvements, pulling together, these
are eight factors that make Il town sure
to go ahead The Review is confident
that Denison has these elements of
progress in an unusually good degree
and hence it looks forward to its future
with unbounded confidence.

DUNLAP, Sept. 7-(Special to the Re-
viewrThe American Legion held their
picnic on Monday of this week in the
city park, and 1t was a most successful
affair. A large crowd was in attend
ance, many coming from considerable
distance to enjoy the fine program.
! Members of the Legion are to be con-
graduated upon the success OF their
undertaking and it is the hope of ev-
leryone that it will become an annual at.
flair. r +
The program commenced at 1850 in
| the forenoon, at which time Roserber-
gers band of twenty pieces furnished
music. Chairman j. NJ. Holland, pres
|ident of the Commercial club intro.
duced the following numbers: Mrs. J..
tChauncey in a vocal solo. the Rogers
Sisters in an instrumental duet and
Leah Service in a reading.
Mr.. Holland, with few we'll chosen
remarks, then introduced Chaplain
Robb OF the 168th division, who for over
an hour held the attention. Of the large
crowd In opening his address he stat
ed that he came not to glOrify the men
of the 168th. that they were no better
than the men OF any other division. but
that he came to give honor to all who
willingly donned the Khaki. but not to
those who were forced to put it on. He
spoke most feelingly of the ten and a
half months that he spent with his men
in the trenches and although he paint.
ed in most terrible colors the horrors of
war, he did it with the thought it might
have some influence in moulding pub
lie sentiment toward some means OF
avoiding useless bloodshed. He started
his story with the leaving of his men
from Camp Dodge at Des Moines ana
described the trip overseas. With
much pathos he told of the sacrifice
the division made in the trenches In
France and of the 76S men who were
tenderly laid to rest there. His ad-
dress was not fowery but statements
of plain simple facts connected wnh
the war and he pleaded with the people
to take steps so that 1t may never
again be necessary for such a slaugh.
ter to be repeated He was most
pleasing speaker and held the attention
of his audience in a wonderful manner.
