Argonne post of the American Legion
at st. Paul, Mimi, was attending
school in the Kansas university when
his money ran out. A letter forwarded
to him from his native state told
Of the work Of the Federal Board for
Vocational Education In Minneapolis.
Through disability incident to his
service as flyer, he was entitled to
the Federal educational aid. Without
sufficient funds to make the long trip,
nevertheless he set out to appear be-
fore the board.
Three days In box car, coal
g0ndola and the tenders of three
passenger trains conveyed him to his
destination. Several fast changes Of
cars, unusual maneuvers and debates
with trainmen were necessary, Ibut
the aviator came through smiling. One
mail clerk proved friendly, but that
train was bound for Chicago. After
two more trials he found a bunk on
some coal and woke up the next
morning In the st. Paul yards.
Placing his case before the board.
he was classed "Sectlon One" en-
titllng him to tuition, supplies and
training pay until he completes his
course.

Medical Corps during the World war,
Mrs. Murray likewise volunteered. She

She sold Liberty bonds, organized Red
Cross units and did active canteen
work.
The Women's Auxiliary was organic.
ed nationally In Austin, Tex. July
20. 1919. Mrs. Murray was one Of the
first women to organize unit in
Houston in March 1920. When she
became state president, there were
twenty-three units in the department.
Under her direction, thirty additional
units have been formed and fifty
others are now organizing. Mrs.
Murray plans to obtain a unit for
each Of the 291 posts Of the Legion in

angel" OF SENATE PAGES
Political Opponents Of Senator ElkIns
Aver He 10 Appearing In En-
tlrely New Light.

When Senator Phelan Of California
retired from the senate there was an
air Of gloom around the haunts Of the
pages on the Democratic side which
couldn't be dispelled. The California
senator has been the ofliciak angel of
the pages for years and he had seen
to II that they got tickets for baseball
games and such things. Being a page
without having an angel Is hardly
worth while.
About this time Senator Davis e.
kins Of West Virginia heard about the
desperate situation of these boys and
declared he would be the official angel
for the suffering pages. Since Senator
Elkins is supposed to own lot Of coal
mines and oil wells and perhaps rail-
road here and there, II they haven't
been mislaid lately, nobody could make
a grander angel and the pages see be-
fore them a summer marked by ball
games, strewn with lollypops and ice
cream.-Buiralo Express

Fraternity the Great Need.

1t was Victor Hugo who conceived
this thought: 1.-THE true resistance of
man against catastrophes is an aug
mentatlon of humanity. Love one an
other, aid one another. Solidarity of
men is the retort to completely Of mys-
FERROUS facts. 1t Is thus that Is estab-
lished on earth the third term Of the
grand human formula, fraternity. Gov
ernments put obstacles In the way Of
liberty and equality, they will come In
their time, In spite of the monarchy ;
equality In spite of the aristocracy.
But fraternity is the opening door. the
emptylng purse, the helping hand"
To be sure, the majority may be
wrong, but you have to live with 1t,
don't forget that.
