that since Ardmore was being judged
by his actions, they ought TO be Of
creditable manner.
Mr.. Fell also reported on the state
convention held recently at Enid He
highly praised the work performed at
the convention, mentioning particu.
larly the fact that the various COM
mittees did not undertake to discuss
matters which were not. related to
the work of the legion. The le-
gion does not ask for anything which
is not right and just" he said.
Pays Tribute to New Officials
Ex-comnander Fell paid tribute to
the new officers who will guide the
legion during the coming year, des-
cribing them as a group of most ca
pable men.
Post Commander King read some
correspondence he had received from
headquarters relative to the Kansas
City convention, and which proved TO
be of very stimulating nature as
regards the proposed attendance of
the Ardmore Post during the conven.
ton.
The formation of local chapter
of the 40 Hommes and s Chevaux"
side order of the legion was discuss
ed, and Judging by the large number
who signified their intention of be.
coming affiliated with the chapter, it
is very probable that its formation
will he effected in the near future.
Further information regarding it will
be discussed at later sessions.
Mr. King called attention to the
fact that all members of the post
desiring TO make reservation for
the trip TO Kansas City and return
must have their applications in the

October 5. All Oklahoma delegates
will wear Indian head dress and an
Oklahoma armband. Members de.
string these must also make appl-
cation to the adjutant by October 5.

MINISTER RESORTS TO
LIMERICKS TO DRIVE
HIS SERMON HOME

New York, July 4-The laws of
sanitation and the prinsciples of mod
esty have been thrown to the proven
bal four winds by modern woman in
her pursuit of Lucifer, known to
the Rev. John Roach Straton, of the
Cavalry Baptist church of this city,
as the demon, Style. In an excor-
iatfng sermon the Rev. Straton pro-
nounced the knee length skirt out of
harmony with God and detrimental
to health. He called it everything
but an eyesore. The present style
of women's dress is "in crashing dis
cord" with the higher things of
life," said the minister, waxing fore
nsic, adding that: "The only thing
that saves dangers of present styles
is the humor of the situation" AS
an example of which he quoted:
"Mary had little skirt,
The latest style, no doubt,
But eveythime she got inside,
She was more'n half way out"
