We were all at her bedside un-

such a devoted and comforting

the good Lord at her bedside and
He had bestowed that everlast-

Just two weeks ago dear mother
You did leave US here to mourn,
Made our home so sad and lonely
Left our hearts with anguish
torn.
Oh we miss you, darling mother,
Miss your voice and tender care,
And our hearts are always sad
dened
When we see your vacant chair.
And again, dear mother,
When our days of life are fled
In Heaven above we hope to meet
you
Where no farewell tears are
shed
Good night mother.

American Legion Stands For
American Principles

Upon the completion of the
Old Years work, as we look for
ward with confidence to the New
Year, The Shaw Post American
Legion wishes to express it's ap-
preciation for the splendid CO.
operation it has received from
the people of Weldon and Hall
fax County.
Owing to the leading part The
American Legion has taken in
our Armistice day celebrations,
some of our people seem to think
that the prime objective of the
Legion is to celebrate on Armis-
tice and Memorial Days.
1t is true that the Legion con-
ducts Memorial day ceremonies
everywhere in the United States.
The Legion on Memorial Day sees
that the grave of every Ameri-
can soldier and sailor in France,
Belgium, England, and Italy is
decorated with the American
flag and flowers.
But that is not all. The Le-
gion is a vigorous seven.days-a-
week force in the affairs of thou
sands of American towns and
cities. 1t takes an active interest
in public affairs and works for
civic Improvements, fighting in
every good cause, cooperating
with other organizations, seeking
to make America a better country
in which to live.
The Legion maintains a Nat
ional Americanism Commission
with branches in all the States
which is working for improved
schools and for better public edu-
cation in general for wider
understanding of duties and obi.
cations of citizenship, and for
the higher development of the
spirit of loyalty and patriotism
among all classes.
In a recent letter General John
J. Pershing said THE American
Legion now occupies such i'm
portant position in the country
that it is highly important that
all who are eligible should become
members and lend their guidance
and influence to the affairs of
this most representative organi-
zation of the best blood of Ameri-
ca"
The Legion is absolutely nom
political and is composed of ex-
service men of all political par
ties, all religious faiths, all trades,
professions and occupations, all
stations of life.
The Legion is a true democracy
in which the liberty of the in
dividual is left untrammeled, un-
impaired. Its Constitution and
policies insure that it always will
work fof the benefit of all and
can never be exploited for the
glorification or selfish interest of
individuals or groups.
PREAMBLE TO THE LEGI0NS
CONSTITUTION
For God and Country, we as
sociate ourselves together for
the following purposes: To up
hold and defend the Constitution
of the United States of America;
to maintain law and order; to
foster and perpetuate a one
hundred percent AMERICAN
ISM; to preserve the memories
and incidents of our association
in the Great War; to inculcate a
sense of individual obligation to
the community, State and Nation;
to combat the autocracy of both
the classes and the masses; to
make right the master of might;
to promote peace and good will
on earth to safeguard and trans
NIT to posterity the principles of
justice, freedom and democracy;
to consecrate and sanctify our
comradeship by our devotion to
mutual helpfulness.
