HAD RUSH or, ORDERS IN MAY
Demand for Memorial Day supplies
Taxed Legion Department; Fourth
of July Warning.

''Don'tI shoot the pianSt-he's doing
the hest he cam
Treat the undertakes kindly-you
may be buried yourself some day."
These, together with various ana
sundry kindred admonitions might
constitute a seemingly appropriate In
PRODUCTION to this pathetic narrative.
1t deals with the plight. OF certain dis
tracted individuals at national head
quarters of the AmericaalILegion. Aslue
from Lenuel Bolles, national adjutant,
who has been swamped $50 often that
he's getting used to it. this unfortu-
nate had to read and answer more
kilograms and letters ina May than all
other members of the headquarters
staff combined. And HE reason Is
this:
Between May,1 andtMay % the fol-
lowing orders thnong others, all for de-
livery by May 80 poured in ike a
barrage on the emblem division, or
which the hero of our tale has charge:
2,15S grave markers.
1853 silk United States flaSs.
1928 wool post flags.
90 wool United States flags.
Result, some 5000 Separate and dis
tinct rush" orders. including almost
innumerable demands for buttons,
pins, badges. rings, Waterfalls, auto
radiator decorations and whatnots.
So, at last in tones that moved his
colleagues to tears.t the martyr sent
out this rs. o. sly:
please tell allt postst and buddies,'
he sighed, that fhey'll Ieither have to

Funeral services were held Friday
afternoon for B. F. Moore, who died
Tuesday night as a result of para
lytic stroke which he suffered Sunday
evening. The services were held at 2
o'clock at the Methodist Episcopal
church preceded by brief service of
prayer at his late home on Green

berS of business associated and per-
sonal friends both in this city and out

his scripture from the 18th chapter
LIST. Corinthians, beginning with the
dist verse. DR.. Sharpe took his text
from LIST. Samuel 18th. chapter Goth.
verse. Tomorrow is the new moon
and thou shalt be missed because thy
seat will be empty" DR.. Sharpe paid
a glowing tribute to the man who has
been his friend for many years. To
his faithfulness, his integrity and the
many courtesies which have endeared
him to the whole community. Mr.
Moore's only son, Everett L. Moore,
of Los Angeles was unable to be pre-
sent. There were many beautiful
floral tributes from friends in New
port and elsewhere. Among the out

system was announced a few weeks
ago. ~
Probably the most significant in
stance of efficiency under the new ar
rangement comes from Oshkosh, Wis.
Oshkosh post. No. 70, located so men
who had put in claims for training, but
had been unable to obtain a decision
on their cases. The post got these
men together and notified the district
office OF the board at Chicago, which
sent a flying squadron" of trouble
men to Oshkosh. Everyone of the 50
cases was cleaned up at once.
1t is the intention of the Legion
through its national vocational officer
at indianapolis, and cooperating Le-
gionnaires in every department and
community throughout the country, to
see that this same system is put into
universal practice until the last red
tape ENHANCEMENT is swept from the
path of every crippled veteran, wheth-
er a member of the Legion or not.
who Is entitled to training under the
provisions of the vocation rehabilita-
ton act
Since the Legion took up this work
in Michigan, total of $500 cases have
been settled by the Legion and the fed
eral board working together. Confer
ences have been held in Is districts
of the state and Legion men, accom-
panied by representatives of the board,
met vocational officers Of the local
posts and sought out the men whose
cases had not been acted upon.
In New Jersey, the Legion and fed
eral board have offices in the same
building, and through cooperation the
board is brought in touch with every
man who has a claim, with the result
that immediate action is being OBJ
tanned in practically every instance.
Four district conferences have been
held in Ohio and arrangements have
been made to have flying squadrons'
claims can be located and gotten to-
gether.
In Utah, the Legion is interviewing
every eX-service man in the state with
reference to any claim he may have.
AS soon as such u man is located, his
case is taken up and settled immedi-
ately.
In Wisconsin arrangements have
been made to hold a vocational confer
ence as part of the state convention
of the Legion at Green Bay, as
{; final determined effort to wind up
any and all cases that may still be
pending at that time.
Similar reports, all attesting great
success for the cooperative plan have
come in from California, Arkansas and
Alabama

Fooled the Recruiting Officer

Omar Miller, member of the wy
oming GID post of the American Le-
gion, has a good claim to being the
youngest "gob" in the American naval
establishment during the war, accord

Legion Weekly. "He enlisted" says
the official Legion publication, July
5. 1918, soon after his fourteenth birth
day, fooling the recruiting officer by
