paign for 1921, soon to be launched.
The Army is carrying on campaigns
in this state and Ohio, because of the
fact that it is in need of funds to
carry on its good work, for which

and for that reason the Army needs |
help. The world-over knows the |
good work the Army did during the
war, Of which they are not in the
least boastful. However, our noble |
boys, who fought overseas, among |
them our lads from good old Mont
gomery, have returned home and

soldier boys will say: at is a grand
organization; they were good to us,
never turned us down, but instead,
were at our sides when help was most
need, and now is the time for us and
the general public to show their
gratitude for the Army" Speaking
