country and our comrades. Disabled
men and the dependents of those who
died always come first.
Il regard the agreement we have ef-
fected with the +. b. V. A. one of the
most important steps we have taken in
that direction.
THE vocational situation has been
generally unsatisfactory the country
over, though the evils of faulty admin
lstrative methods and lack OF foresight
have been more pronounced In some
sections than I'm others-particularly
so in the densely populated districts OF
the East. Disabled men have not had
what they are clearly entitled to have
from the government, and the result Is
they have become discouraged and
their confidence In the board has been
seriously impaired.
"The American Legion cannot re-
store that confidence. The board must
do II. The legion only can help, and
that II means to do. The work would
be felicitated materially II disabled
men throughout the country would.

comrades. You can always bank on

Father Kelly, wearer of the ID. S. C..
for heroism in action on the British
front with the Twenty-seventh New
York division, made a vigorous reply
TO the foes of the eX-service organiza-
ton who have charged the American
Legion is a militaristic body.
IL have heard ii said" declared
Father Kelly, that the aim of the
American Legion is to impose upon
the Emitted States a government of the
soldiers, by the soldiers and for the
soldiers. The American Legion Is a
million miles away from any such idea
as that. We crossed the sea to put
an end to such forms of government
and certainly we do not intend or
strive or will not tolerate the setting
up ut home of what we went to war
TO destroy abroad.
THE American Legion stands SOLE
ly and simply Tor the things that make
for a better Amerieanism. We call
ourselves Americans. We call our
selves a legion. We are both, and we
unite the two In an organization which
shall stand for all that is best in our
national life for our country and for
the flag"

FARMER AND GOOD H W
Has Become Hard Working and vot.
ing Enthusiast for Improved Roads
Because Of Many Benefits.

The biggest booster for good roads
In the country today is the farmer. A
few years ago he felt that the portion
of his taxes used In the construction
OF permanent highways represented a
benefit only to the motoring tourist
and the city automobile owner, writes
III. W. SlausOn In Leslie's. The farm
er argued that he was paying for
their pleasures, and the result was a
superstition against the good roads
movement.
Now, however, when the farmer
finds that his land has trebled In val
Ne: when the merchandise for which
he has ~telephoned In the morning a
be delivered by noon Of the same day
when the market for his own produce
is brought hours nearer; when the
winter and Its following spring thaw
possess nc terrors for him--all this
because Of the Improved highway
which makes his farm only a suburb,
as it were, of the nearest city--he
naturally becomes a hardworking and
hard-yoting enthusiast for good roads.
