CARE FOR WOUNDED BUDDIEs
Cheer Thousands Of Wounded
Men Now in Hospitals.

A nationwide movement to care for
the 1900 ex-service men who are now
in hospitals suffering from disabilities
incurred in the service. has been
launched by the American Legion
through its Americanisrn commission.
Bulletins have been Issued to state
chairman asking them to organize To-
cal Legion post committees to cooper
ate with the hospitals for the enter
tainment of the men In the wards, and
for their care after discharge.
Efforts will be made to provide Wis
itors for those men who are confined
to hospitals to mitigate the loneliness
of their enforced inactivity, and in
this part of the program the Women's
Auxiliary is expected to be of particu-
lar value.
To men who are discharged individ-
ual assistance will be given by men,
bers of the local Legion post in secur-
Ing work and in Strengthening out any
difficulties that may arise in the mat
ter of compensation. insurance and so
on. A system of interstate co-opera-
ton will provide for every man who
leaves hospital in one state, a well
come in the state for which he is
bound.
IF there is any one thing that all
members Of the Legion are agreed on
more than anything else, 1t is that
wounded men should be generously
taken care Of" declared Arthur
Woods, chairman Of the Americanism
commission. 'It is the personal con-
tact with the man that counts. We
must show him that we are genuine
friends. And certainly, no man ever
needs shove upward more than
discharged, disabled service man who
has to make up SO much lost time un-
der such tremendous handicaps. I
know you will agree that this is a
challenge to service on our part which
we, of the Legion, will not ignore"

is an easy-going and accommodating
cuss, always willing to do his little
bit. In one of the games Of the series
with Washington recently, Manager
Miller Higgins moaned over his short
age of pitchers. Washington had been
lambasting all sorts of twirling, some
of Higgins pitchers had sore arms.
some of them had worked in double

Mr.. Babe, stumbling around waiting

Manager Higgins wailing.

And so Mr.. Babe went In and
pitched. That is, he did for four in

a lead of ten runs. They had made
twelve and all Washington had was
two Babe allowed in the first round
before he got well started. In the fifth

"Shucks," said Pitcher Babe, as he

VETERAN OF TWO GREAT WARS
AdoIph Lowe Of LansdaIe, Pa, Par
ticipated in Both the Civil and
World Conflicts.

With the war between North and
South in which he fought more than
80 years behind him, Adolph L. Lowe
of Lansdale, Pa, in 1917. again, en-
tered the service of his country in
the war with Germany and today at
seventy-nine is one of the most re-
markable members of the American
Legion. His age, naturally enough,
debarred him from going to sea three
years ago with the navy, which he
joined as q carpenters mate and he
was assigned to the base at Cherry
stone island, Va, and later to the Nor
folk navy aviation center, the Ports
mouth naval hospital and the yir-
ginia Beach rifle range.
Although he was, denied sea service
in the World war, Mr. Lowe saw
enough action to last most men the
rest of their lives during the Civil
war. He took part in the lombard
ment of Fort Sumter and saw the
Merrimac ablaze. Later in the block
ade of Charleston and in naval en-
gagements along the coast he went
through hard and severe fighting.
Mr.. Lowe says that the sea stories
of Fenimore Cooper first brought to
him the desire TO follow the sea for
career. In 1859 he shipped for
South America and the following year
in Rio de Janeiro he swan mile to
the shore to sign as midshipman on
the U. S. sloop of war Seminole.

fitness of the organization for men
who are in the Legion or who, as for
mer service men, are fast coming into
the Legion. The American Legion
does not stand for one thing; it stands
for many, and once headed in the right
direction as this big gathering will
head us, we will take our place as the
one big body which serves ex-service
men, and through them serves our
country in every way that is substan-
tial, progressive and constructive"
Every opportunity will be provided
at the convention for reunions of d.
visions and units where men who have
not seen each other since demobiliza-
ton, will once more get together i'm
comradeship. In this way the associ-
alton of memories is counted on to
still further cement the service men
together in one big, forward-looking
American body.
The convention is summoned ac-
cording to the call issued from nation
al headquarters, for the purpose of
electing officers for the ensuing year,
amending the national constitution and
tranSacting any other business that
may be brought before it.
? More than $500 delegates and alter
mates are being selected to attend the
convention. Representation in the
gathering will be by state departments,
each department being entitled to five
delegates and one additional delegate
for each one thousand members.

WAR ENDED KENTUCKY FEUDS
Youths and Mountaineer Parents Who
Were Estranged, Brought Togeth-
er at County Reunion.

The war has brought peace to the
embattled mountaineers of the famous
feudist counties of Garrard and Lin
coin in Kentucky. For more than a
generation these neighboring but not
neighbOrly counties were estranged-
the inhabitants of one being sworn en-
emies of the natives of the other and
many were the brushes between them,
which, though not bloodless altogeth-
er, happily produced no fatalities.
Then came the war and the youth
Of Garrard and Lincoln counties
marched off together. They went
overseas together and fought the
Boche together, sharing together the
dangers, discomforts and great mo-
ments of battle. The sea stood be-
tween them and the old quarrel at
home. Little by little the ancient
grudge faded away until the boys from
Lincoln and the boys from Garrard
were actually fraternizing in the rest
billets back of the line.
They came home together. For the
moment they had had enough fighting.
They could see no point in keeping
alive the traditional quarrel between
their respective counties. So, recent
ly officers of the American Legion
posts of Stanford, county seat of Lin
coin county and Lancaster, county
seat of Garrard county, got together
and agreed upon grand reunion and
peace" celebration of the residents
of both counties. The affair was held
under the auspices of the Legion and
old feudists whose sons shared the
same shell hole together in France,
shook hands for the first time in their
lives and called it quits.
