WOOL.

BosroN, Mass, June 2S.-There was a
fair attendance at the Government wool
auction here to-day when 5000, 900
pounds of wool were offered. They were
almost wholly of the South American
type, grading fair quarter blood and be-
low. Interest was hardly so keen as 1t
was az the sale of May 25. some 2S per
cent. of the total offering being with
drawn.
The woods were suited again especial
" to the uses of the carpet manufactur-
ers. who directly or indirectly were the
principal buyers, w. w. Wood of Phila-
delphia and the Alexander Smith Carpet
Company taking. respectively. 100000
pounds and 1.139.000 pounds of greasy
wool. The percentages of the various
descriptions sold were: Pulled. 90; South
American combing, GA South American n
carding, IS: West Coast. 100; secured
wool, 81. The West Coast offercng was
only $4,000 pounds.
Prices were possibly bit easier COM
pared with those of the last sale. some
descriptions selling off about half cent
I'm the grease. The secured wool sale
was disappointing on account of heavy
Withdrawals. Argentine combing fours
were firm at IS to 10 cents, clean basis
for good woods. and second clip cardirfg
woods of the same grade about Is to II
cents, clean basis.

spirit stayed with his men and lead
them on to the victory and they re-
joiced when. they learned that. their
major would recover from his wound.
At the Spartanburg meeting of

hon was nominated for state COM
mander and his nomination was
greeted with cheers, for that body
we'll knew that he would make an
ideal state commander.
During his administration the Le-
gion has grown in South Carolina and
throughout his term Of office he has
wisely steered clear Of all political
entanglements nor has he allowed
the Legion to be commercialized.

a couple years ago through the ef-
forts of Hal Kohn, an ex-service
man, with the help of the other ex-
service men in Newberry, has had

posts in South Carolina.
The post has a fine home, nicely
fitted up and the membership is ac-
tive in all things for the good of the
town.
Hal Kohn was the first comnlan-

organization and history of the post

HOW NEWBERRY POST
WAS ORGANIZED
(By Hal Kohn.)

Just two years ago today as l was
in nrid-ocean, returning from II
months service in France and Bel
giun, I chanced to pick up in the
reading room of the S. S. Finland a
little booklet telling about the Amer
lean Legion in the States and what 1t
was doing.
While in, France had read in the
Stars and Stripes about the Legion
being formed in Paris, where repre-
sentatievs from all the A. E. F. out
fits met together and discussed the
future association of former service
men and there formed the American
Legion.
I realized that such an association
would be of great benefit to the SER
vice men as we'll as to. the country
at large and I made up my mind to
ioin the Legion when I landed and
to work for the objects and principles
which it stood for.
1t happened that 1 accidentally
passed the Legion headquarters in
New York city and l went in and
ioined and got some further infor-
nation about the work and learned
that headquarters had been establish
ed in South Carolina and that my
application would be forwarded to
them.
While home on ten day leave,
prior to being discharged, was ask
ed to organize the Legion n New

Newberry Unit.

The Woman's Auxiliary of New
berry will join with the American
Legion Post "a, in the entertainment
of the state convention September
and 8. In arranging plans for this
convention this Auxiliary has not
forgotten the other women organiza-
tions of the state A conference of
these units has been called to meet
during the convention to perfect a
department organization. The New
berry unit was organized February
20, 1921, with % members which
has grown to 65. The officers are;
Mrs. L. w. Floyd, president; Miss
Sadie Goggans, vice president; Mrs.
John NJ. Kinard, secretary; Miss Su-
die Dennis, treasurer.

General S. D. Butler of the Mar
ines, who Will address the conven-
tion Wednesday afternoon at Will
.lowbrook park, will be one of the
chief figures at the convention, This
address will be open to the public.
General Butler will be introduced
by Hon. J. j. McSwain, member of
congress from the Fourth district.
General Butler has seen service in
the Philippines, in the Boer war in
China, and was with the Marines at
Chateau Thierry. After the war when
a man was wanted to pull Brest out
of the mud General Butler was the
man picked for the job. At Brest
he built miles of board walks and esl
tablished the most wonderful system
of kitchens over organized to care for
the returning troops. The kitchens
could feed 5000 men in thirty min
utes.
General Butler was placed in COM
mand of the Marines at Quantico.
Under his leadership this post has
made great Improvement.
Be,.use of his record in France and
his fine business administration at
Qua,..i.o, General Butler gives prom
ise Of becoming conspicuous nation
al figure.
No doubt General Butler will have
a message that WI be of interest not
only to members Of the convention
but to every citizen cf Newoerry.

berry county and got busy at once
l found it very easy to get the requir-
ed Is members necessary to secure
charter for the Newberry Post and
l did the job in such short time that
S. C. headquarters wrote me that
Newberry took the prize in length OF
time required to apply for charter
and to secure the required members.
So the Legion started off in quick
step in Newberry and has been dou-
BILE timing ever since. We have or
ganized posts in Prosperity, Whit
tnire, Little Mountain, but the New
berry county post has been the most
active of all and the membership
has grown steadily, for from the Is
charter members it has reached as
high as 100 members, which while
not half of the former service men
in the vicinity of Newberry still it
speaks we'll for the work and shows
that the boys are deeply interested
in the American Legion and want it
to become mighty power for good
in the city, state and country.
The Newberry county post has
been in existence for almost a year
and a half and | believe that in this
time the folks of Newberry have
learned that we stand for the highest
principles and that we are ever
ready to serve. Our achievements
have not been spectacular or great,
but we have brought service men to-
gether who would never have known
each other in the same spirit that
they have become acquainted, we
have secured and completely furnish
ed at our own expense a home for the
post, which in addition to being Le-
gion headquarters is gathering
place for many organizations of the
community and always open for
members of the post and visiting SER
vice men.
We have taken part in every pub
lie enterprise and have not always
waited to be invited to help. We
have backed up all movements look
ing towards a better and bigger New
berry.
The outstanding achievements,
would say, of our post are the Legion
home in the old court house, our
bring the third annual state conen-
ton to our city and the preparations
which we hacv made for it and our
service to all ex-service men, whether
