forts to revitallzing his business. In
February, 1919, when the city of Hart
ford needed a capable man to direct
its Soldiers, Sailors and Marines club,
Mr.. Bannigan was asked to take the
job. Despite the call of his business,
he abandoned it again, through pa
triotic motives, to supervise the club.
A recOrd-maker in the formation
and organization of Rau-LOcke post
No. 8, Mr.. Bannigan soon became one
Of the most prominent Legionnaires
in the state and was elected as the
first state adjutant. Department head
quarters had been without a perma-
nent location, using a room in the
Service club as quarters. Br. Ban
nigan prevailed upon the city author
tiles to turn the building over to the
Legion.
Mr.. Bannigan is also a member Of
the national committee on war risk
insurance and compensation and is
chairman Of the Hartford Elks' ma
tional soldiers fund committee.

A LETTER FROM c. II. TAGGART.

Indianola, Miss, May 20, 1921.
Dear Opinion Readers:-
Our Chautauqua circuit has reached
the Delta" of Mississippi, where the
high priced Long staple cotton" is
grown. We have left the rice fields of
Louisiana and are gradually gong
north. 1t is very hot and dry and
dusty Rain is sorely needed for the
ern Mississippi told us that much OF
the cotton had to be planted over. on
account of the cold spring. The young
cotton needs hot nights as well as
days.
This town of Indianola is noted as
being the scene of a Post Office fight
that attracted the attention of the
whole nation at the time OF it. 1t was
in tie time of Roosevelt's administla-
ton. \ cOlOred woman was appointed
as Post Mistress. She was Good

But the town was growing rapidly,
and meeting was called to talk over
the "Nigger Post Mistress question.
At that meeting, it was decided to
send in petition for her dismissal,
and she was asked to resign, when
she did. Mr. Roosevelt refused to ac-
cept her resignation. She wrote him
sign, but he said "No u and more
over he wired that the Post Office
should be kept open, and that in case
this was not done, troops would be
then the whole town was up in arms.
Through the efforts Of John Sharp VIII
liams, senator from MISSISSIPPI, and the
congressman from this district, Mr.
Roosevelt was persuaded not to send
troops. The Post Office was closed,
and all the mail for Indianola came to
Greenyille. a town about thirty miles
away, and was sent here by express.
Well, the citizens here finally called a
public meeting, and decided to appoint
a postmaster of their own, and they
did, He handled all the Expressed

where from three to ten days), and
some of the business men had their
mail come to Heathman. a little ham,
let, a few miles east Of here. This
kept up for eighteen months. MrI
Roosevelt came here on a hunting trip, |
and investigated matters personally, !
and when he saw the situation he
gave them leave to have regular |

me the story practically as have |
given it to you. He said that Teddy |
