American Legion Notes

The people of the United States
are in sympathy with efforts of vet
terans to obtain the passage of the
Fordney bonus bill according to Lee
muel Bolles, National Adjutant of
the American Legion, who bases his
opinion on reports from North Da-
kota, Oregon, Minnesota, Illinois and
other states. The legislatures of the
first three states have passed reso-
lutions urging the United States to
pass the bill and plebiscite of Le-
gion members in Illinois showed an
overwhelming sentiment in favor of
the national bonus. Ninety-nine per
cent of the Illinois Legionaries also
expressed themselves in favor of
state bonus.
In spite of the unemployed situa-
ton, which tends to increase the
need. of veterans for ready money,
forty-six per cent of the Illinois Le-
gion members preferred some form
of compensation other than cash.
The American Legion reached the
ten thousand post mark January 10,
when Foss Post of Foss, Okla, was
chartered in membership campaign
A total of 1904 posts was acheiv-
ed the week ending January 81,
which registered a gain of twenty
posts. The department of Illinois
and Indiana led the lists the last two
weeks. Extensive activity in estab-
fishing new posts is indicated from
Southern departments of the Legion.

900 members before the state con-

Scores of letters have been receiv-

Legion request the state department
to obtain the release of the two
Americans, who were captured in
Germany during the attempt to ar
rest Grover Cleveland Bergdoll,
Americas most notorious draft dod-
ger.
Ninety new units of the Women's
Auxiliary of the American Legion
were chartered in the last two weeks |
raising the total to 1928. Iowa led

PetrifcadO's NOte Book

We were invited a few
 evenings ago over to the sec
 tion house here in Holt to
 assist in gathering and par
 take of the ripe fruit of the
 fig tree. (we having previous
 ly found out the green figs
 were not very palatable) 1 seem to remember of having read somewhere of another fig tree that fourished in a certain garden that became famous on account of being able to spare a few leaves to assist the occupants of the aforesaid certain garden to hide their limbs. This fig rec here in Holt has not changed it's nature much in all these centuries, as it is still using it's leaves to hide it's limbs. Upon looking the word fig up in our encyclo- pedia we found some very interesting facts concerning it. The word figure is deriv- ed from fig, figure meaning formerly to cover up the body with fig leaves--that is, to hide the figure. you know. And then there is the Fig Newton invented by Sir Isaac Newton which in our national life is next in im- portance to the Volstead Act. MT. Newton will be remembered as the English gentleman who introduced a bill in Parliament and suc- ceeded in getting the law of gravitation on the statute books of England, which we understand has been adopt ed by most every other na- ton on earth.
 Near where we are work ing there is a sign board a. long the side of the road which reads as follows: "SCHOOL GO SLOW." For several days we have won dered why that sign was displayed so conspicuously and so near the shool house until yesterday. We saw a red headed school marm emerge from that school house and grab a nice, healthy young ster by the collar and yank

 Miss Leona Straddler, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of MT. and Mrs. o.
 U. Straddler, a prominent hQrseman of Holt returned from a visit to Adamana and the Petriied Forest rather unexpected yesterday on train number 9, she having intended to stay at least two weeks, which was cut down to twenty-four hours. l ask ed Miss Straddler why she had returned so preemptO- rily. She replied that on account of some slight heart trouble she could not stand the MULTITUDE. Being desirous of o b t a i n i n g t h e unpre u d i c e d views and opinions of this brilliant Westerner in re- gard to our beloved North ern Arizona, we asked her a number of questions about the Winslow Chamber of Commerce and the OIL sit uation in and around Hol- brook.

 Jack Dempsey denies the report that he has married again. All of which shows that he isn't as keen for a fight as some people suppose him to be.
 Many a Holbrook man who wouldn't think of mak- ing a wife of his cook has no scruples at all about mak- ing a cook of his wife.
 They argue that lightn- ing never strikes twice in the-same place. It has been our observation that after it cracks down once there isn't any same place.
 Coming home from al vacation isn't the worst fea- ture of it. There's Wood- ticks and asthma to be talk en into consideration.
 Why do some Holbrook men swear to love before marriage and love to swear after they're married?
