LEGION TO AID Immigrants
Plan Mapped Out by American Conn.,
mission Of Veterans' Organization
to Extend Welcome.

Immigrants entering the United
States will be received and welcomed
by members Of the American Legion,
according to plans mapped out by the
National American commission of the
veterans organization. Arrangements
have been made whereby the local post
Of the community which is the ul-
innate destination Of the immigrant
will get in touch with him Immediately
upon his arrival.
destinations of all immigrants will be
secured at the port Of New York and
forwarded Immediately to the thou
sands Of Legion posts in order that
they may prepare for the reception Of
the new arrivals.
"In some cases the immigrant may
be going directly to friends" says
the announcement Of the American
commission, "but in many cases he
will be friendless and will be sure to
have great trouble. He may need as
sistance in finding out where he can
learn English, where he can send his
children to- school, where he can find a
place to live and a place to work.
Nothing could be more effective in lin
ing up the new arrival on the side of
law and order and Of the things we
believe in as being best for the coun-
try than this friendly welcome. II

JUNIOR RED. CROSS
ACTIVE IN EUROPE

Garden seeds for Polish orphans,
milk for anaemic Greek babies, car
penters' tools for Czecho- Slovakian
cripples-these are only a few Of the
gifts that young Americans are send
ing to the war-crushed children of the
Old World.
Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls OF the United States
are giving a fresh start in life to little
wal orphans scattered all over Europe.
They have set up orphans homes in
France, school colonies In Belgium and
Montenegro, and day schools in Al
bania.
They are sending dozens Of young
Syrians, M~ontenegrins, and Albanians
to American colleges In Constantinople
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
a hundred orphans Of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In or
phanages and farm schools up and
down the peninsula Of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards of American Juniors.
Last winter a thousand French chill
dren from the inadequate shelters Of
the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior RedNCross to spend the cold
months In warmer parts Of France.
At the same time five thousand little
Belgians were having a hot lunch every

FAMILY NAMES

GA great many family names repre-
sent the trades or occupations of our
graat-great-geat grandfathers. John,
the miller, and after that his decen-
dents were known as Miller" says
Clifford Howard in an article on the
meaning of names in the September
number of Boys Life. "And Robert the
baker, started the family name of
Baker. And thus we have many 9TH
err familiar family names-Carpenter,
Mason, Taylor, Shoemaker, Brewer,
Daper, Shepherd, Fisher, Hunter,
Clark (clerk) Page, Harper, Singer
and a whole lot more. Chief among
them all is Smith.
In many cases there was something
very striking about a man-if he was
very short or had very red hair or
had some peculiar trait or habit-it
was used for starting a family name,
and that's how we have such names
as Little, Small, Ross, (Which means
red), Black, Gray, White, Strong, Long
Whistler, Noble, Swift, Doolittle and
many more of the same kind"

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO Give RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
v.,. Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all Of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
ice Is to assist people to get out OF life
more health. wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation Is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advon-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to - the awakening
Of the community To ether conditions
which may b improved By uAibsd

Pilots Second Accident

Washington, Sept. 1.-The postof-
flee department received a brief re-
port today from Morristown, N. J. on
the accident which resulted in the de-
struction of a mail plane there and
the death of Pilot Max Miller and
.Mechanician Gustav Rierson The plane
was enroute to Cleveland and Chicago
from New York. Riertson's home
was in Troy, Idaho
Postoffice officials said Miller was
regarded as one Of the most efficient
pilots in the service. He had a SINH
lar accident in which his plane took
fire some time ago, they said, but ex-
tinguished the flames while still in
air. The accident at Morristown was
the fourth case of a mail plane taking
fire, it was added, in 100000 miles of
flying.

AERIAL MAIL
PLANE GOES DOWN
CREW is L L

Morristown, N. j.. Sept. 1.-Two
men were burned to death in a gov
eminent all-metal mail airplane which
went down here this morning. The
plane was flying at a low altitude and
the pilots seemed to be expecting
trouble with the engine. Farmers saw
the plane take a sudden dive and burst
into flames. 1t hit the ground with a
thud and a tremendous explosion oc-
Cured, throwing mail bags hundreds
of feet in every direction.
Although the bodies were not
charred beyond recognition, their
clothes were burned nearly off and it
was impossible to identify them
through this means. A great portion
of the mail was completely destroyed.

A Shirt Tale

The Scoutmaster was talking to one
Of his ~tenderfoot Scouts. "Boy," he
said, "you will have to make your own
way in the world some day. Do you
know the meaning of energy and en-
terprise?
"No, sir" replied the tenderfoot, II
don't believe ! do"
"Well I'll tell you. One of the rich
est men in the world came to this
city without a shirt on his back, and
now he has Millions"
The tenderfoot looked puzzled.
"Millions?" he repeated in wonder
ment, "Why, how many does he wear
at a time ?"-September Boys Life.

ROY UNDERGOING A
BUILDING BOOM

Few people realize that Roy is
undergoing a building boom at
present and will undergo a far
greater one as soon as spring
opens up. The numerous build
ings Of the Mesa Cooperative
on the west side are looming up,
and viii be a decided improve
ment to that part Of the town.
Over on the east side in the Mon
tezuma addition and in the
Floersheim addition several new
houses are being built or ar
rangements being made to build:
George Gonzales is building a
new home on the lots across the
street from Remigio Lopez. Sew
eral more houses in different
parts of town are being planned
for early spring improvements.
Also at least three business hous-
es may be built this winter or
during the summer, and prob
ably more. Of course Roy is the
coming town Of the Mesa, and as
soon as the water mains are laid
we expect to expand more rapid
ly than ever.

COOPERATIVE
BUILDING WAREHOUSE

The Mesa Cooperative Asso-
citation have their big fine eleva-
tor completed and in working
order, and are receiving grain in
it now. They have now started
on their second unit, a large
warehouse, 30 by 140 feet, with
q basement rs by 60 feet beneath
it. This large warehouse will be
Just as up-to-date as is the eleya-
tor, and will be practically fire
proof throughout. Their private
switch will allow cars to be un-
loaded direct into the basement
and warehouse, which will save
much labor.
The large warehouse will be
used as a store room and store
until the third unit, a large store
building is completed, which will
be built adjoining the street and
connecting directly with the
warehouse. The lumber yards
and shops will be built directly
south Of the warehouse and store
and win be just as up-to-date as
the balance Of the buildings.
These improvements will add
much to the west side, and will
when finished house one of the
largest business establishments
of our town. When you have a
few spare moments, go over to-
their big, fine elevator and let
them show you through it. They
will be glad to do so, and you will
see asalp-to-date an elevator as
we have in New Mexico.

her class work with them, and who by
many tears evidenced the loss they
have suffered.
The sanctuary altar, main aisle
and dais upon which the beautiful
white flowerrladen casket repOsed,
was tastefully decorated with heavy
folds of black and white.
Oh, it is sweet to think
Of those that are departed,
While murmured Aves sink
To silence tender-hearted.
While tears that have no pain
Are TRANQUILITY distilling,
And the dead live again
In hearts that love is feeling
Yet, not as in the days Ift
Of earthly ties, we love them;
For they are touched with rays
From light that is above them;
Another sweetness shines
Around their well-known features
God with His glory signs
His dearly ransomed creatures,
Yes, they are more our own,
Since now they are Gods onlyj,
And each one that has gone
Has left our heart less lonely.
Love, that was earthly, wings
Its flight to hOlier places;
The dead are sacred things
That multiply our graces.
They whom we loved on earth
Attract us now to heaven;
Who Shared our grief and mirth
Back to us there are given.
They Rleve with noiseless foot
Gravely and sweetly round us,
And their soft touch hath cut
Full many a chain that bound us.
O dearest dead to heaven
With tears and sighs we gave you
To Him-be doubts forgiven!
Who took you there to save you.
Now get us grace to love
Your memories yet more kindly,
Pine for cur homes above,
And trust to God more kindly
