The Paris baby" put on its first
trousers at the st. Louis caucus in
Nay Of last year, where Legionaires
IT i every state andspdssession Of the
Unite1 States put their "fed-blooded
spirit of sacrifice into principles that
have been declared to be practical
applicationf Of the Sermon on the
Mount. Atsthe Minneapolis convention
in November these purposes were Off
cfally adopted and the Legion has es-
tabiished branch departments TO care
for each declaration II then made.
What the Legion has accomplished
in Kentucky is typical OF what it has
done in every State in the Union. Ken
lucky has 105 Legion posts, a
membership of more Than 5000, and
by the time of die next state conven-
ton in August It's expected that every
county in%the state win have at least
one local post al-dSthat the member
ship will amount to $4,000 former serv-
ice men.
The American Legion Of Kentucky
plans first TO take care Of the disabled
as a result. Of the war. and'the widows
and orphans of those who died In the
service. For this purpose Bureaus OF
Rehabilitation, war risk insurance and
re employment are being operated.
Perhaps the biggest work the Ken
lucky LegiOnaires have undertaken
and will prosecute for the general pub
lie welfare is the stimulation of 100
per cent Americanism. This work
founl Its model IN the December cam
paigr in Louisville, instituted jointly
by the Citizens Auxiliary Committee,
heaGed by. Marvin H. Lewis, and the
cumraittee Of the American Legion.
The Legion is sorktng for the 'Amer-
Termination of the foreign-born ele-
ment. which annually comes to Ken
tuckS, to the end that it may be as
Simulated In a practical way into rhe
ideals of America. The Legion Is seek
ing the general use of the English Ian
guage and the proper control OF immi-
grafton.
In the name of the Kentucky Legion
bills curbing seditlon are now before
~the legislature. They echo the deter
mination reached IN all national Lee
gion gatherings to mete out punish
meit to those persons making radical
utterances regarding the overthrow OF
the present form Of Government The
Legion believes that free speech does
not mean license and that the Issue
must be met sqnarely and promptly
its members do not propose IL stand
by and look on while agitators OF I'M
rest and violence'pursue their aims.
SO long as the Legion continues to
abide by It's objects and light MILITANT
" for It's principles, every true amer
lean may wen be proud Of II and back
It up to the limit.

INTERESTING WAR RELICS

An unusually interesting collec.
tion Of world war souvenirs may be
seen in the cigar case at the Sher-
man. The numerous relics were col
lected and labeled by Miss Macie
Moore, daughter of R. J. Moore of
Glasgow, who has been spending the
Christmas holidays as a guest of her
brother, c. 0. Moore. Miss Moore
served overseas as a stenographer
with the Red Cross and in this ca
pacity visited many of the famous
battlefields.
The collection includes several
styles of helmets, shell cases of var
ious sizes, bayonets, hand grenade
handle of the style known as the
potato masher," a bell made of
machine gun bullets and a small
limb of a tree from Belleau Woods.

Well Be There

Of course the editor must horn
in on this. Perhaps no one in the
community gets chance at more
close-ups on all angles of scenes on
the local film than a newspaperman.
I'VE" claim that it is reasonable
and conservative to base future ex-
pectations on present attainments.
So just take an inventory of what
has been gained in less than three
years, under handicapping conditions
our people, town and country
our buildings-our business and
municipal institutions-our volume
of trade-best of all, our confidence
and spirit.
There is nothing to it, folks, we're
off; and if the close of 1920 does
not find us "there," and over, in the
Bigger, Better and More Prosperous
game it will be because our spark
plugs are dirty, our pepper boxes
empty and team work rotten. 1t is
simply up to us. We claim, with
Kipling, that:
at amt the individuals, nor
The army as a whole,
But the everlasting teamwork
Of every blooming SOUL"

1920 SENTIMENTS
PREDICTIONS, HOPES AND COM

NEW YEARS EVE
NONE BUT OPTIMISTS
Note This Picture of Banner Year,
With Good Crops, Good Busi-

What is your thought for the New
Year? What are your hopes and ex-
pectations, especially for the snug
little city that is our home? What
1920 sentiment is uppermost in your
mind? Give us a few lines for a
New Year feature for The Herald.
That, in substance, was what was
said to a score or more of Wolf
Points on-the-job boosters. Credit
for the idea belongs wholly to Judge
Gordon, who also has the editors
gratitude for collecting large por-
ton of the responses printed below.
It was an eleventh hour plan and
time did not permit of a general can
vass, so no one need feel sighted.
1t is especially regretted that ex-
pressions could not have been OBJ
tanned from a number of our COM
munity partners and faithful CO.
boosters, the women.
But we are rather proud, the
judge and the editor, of the collec-
tion we are able to present on short
notice. There is a note of confident
optimism that rings true and reaches
from first to last; and there is Wolf
Point, Montana, spirit in every mes

RED CROSS TO CONDUCT
CLASSES In NURSING

Mrs. Clyde Patton attended an
executive meeting of the Red Cross
chapter at Culbertson Monday. Much
of the time of the meeting was spent
IN discussing plans for getting up
classes in home nursing and hygiene
The branch is to have a Red Cross
nurse come the 9Th of January, but
it is as yet undecided whether she
will hold classes at Culbertson first
and then go on to the other towns,
or whether she will hold classes two
days each week at Culbertson, Pop
lar and Wolf Point
The nursing course comprises ff-
teen lessons of two hours each. The
salary and expenses of the nurse are
paid by the Red Cross, but there will
be nominal fee for books, ETC. Just
what this will amount to will be an
nounced later. 1t is hoped that there
will be number of classes formed,
as this will be an excellent opportun-
1ty for people to secure a fundamen-
tai knowledge of how to care for the
sick. Mrs. j. C. DeWane has charge
of the home hygiene department of
the Red GROSS and Mrs. O. M. Dahl
is at the head of the nursing depart
ment.

From the Mayor

1t was cheering after such siren
uous year to note the splendid holi-
day spirit in all quarters of the
city and country Yet it is more
cheering to hear so many of our
farmer friends say they expect to
put in a few more acres of crop this
year than last, which demonstrates
we have larger number of boosters
in our community than it generally
has been given credit for. If Moth
er Earth will make a showing this
coming year, being situated the way
we are, this will surely be a com
munity of 100-per-cent-boosters,
whose faith can not be shaken as
regards the future of the community

People Delighted With Beauti

The opening of the Liberty thea
tire marked an event in the growth
of Wolf Point that will not be soon
forgotten. The beautiful new amuse-
ment house, just finished by George
L. Onstad and Clarence J. Severson,
and described in these columns last
week, was opened to the public on
Monday night, Dec. %, with a spe-
cial dedicatory program and an at
tractive picture bill.
The manner in which the citizens
appreciate this $4,000 improve
ment was made evident by the size
of the crowd that sought admission
to the first performances. Long be-
fore the hour set for the program
the broad sidewalk at either side of
the theatre entrance was crowded
with people All of the $50 seats
were filled and hundreds were turn
ed away from the first performance.
Most of these returned for the sec
ond show. Altogether about 1000
people were admitted on this open
ing night.
Everybody was delighted with the
handsome and metropolitan appoint
ments of the new show house. Every
feature makes for the pleasure and
of the patrons. The

We will make this New Year the
best yet, by going over the top with
a bound and down the coming days
with a bound.
The past is secure and finished
and beyond our reach. Nothing can
redeem its failures or dim its glories
The gateway of new experiences
opens it's portals to all. We must

that count. Anyone can produce
wildwood-it is fruitless.
