ANNOUNCEMENT

The attention of the American
Legion Dance Committee has been
invited to the fact that, despite their
efforts to arrange q holiday dancing
party last Monday evening at which
all the guests would be assured few
hours of social fesiivity, the evening
was spoiled for a number by the rash
and thoughtless act of one guest III
playing the obnoxious prank OF put
ting snuff In a PORTION of the pun H..
the Committee wishes to call tie
attention of this young man. and am
others who may Lave aided him in
the undertaking. that he chose re-
lDarkably Grade and childish "ty IT,
show his appreciation of the even
ing's entertainment, for by doing
this trick. he destroyed much pleas
ure for others.
The local post of the American Lee
gion believes that it is real priv
ilege to be permitted to provide So
cial entertainment of the highest
calibre, and avails itself of this op-
portunity to announce that only the
best kind Of parties are contemplated
1t regrets exceedingly that such an
act occurred. and suggests that such
individuals, who are unable to enjoy
cordial hospitality without abusing
it, render the American Legion the
favor of their absence.

Towns Real Opportunities.

Nearly all places go down In his
tory because of the kind of people
they give to the world or encourage
TO remain, because of their interest
in education, religious training and In
true Americanism. The real greatness
of any city depends on the future 1t
is building for Its people, not on the
wealth and prestige which the people
are winning for 1t today.
No town need be pessimistic because
its numbers are small. There are OPP
portunItles aplenty for It to win last
ing fame II 1t helps those within 1t to
be intelligent, honest and anxious to
help the nation and the world to be
better places In which to llve.-Walter

An Obstacle.

The moment you stand still and say,
81 am just going to be an interested
onlooker," you become an obstacle in
the way of the Masters progress. If
you stand, some one else will stand
too. If you are not with Him you
are against Him. What the Master
wants today In the cities and villages
of America are men and women who
are living with Him and gathering
with Him. Let parents begin in the
home. America Is waiting for the
manifestation of the sons and daugh-
ters of God 80 become part Of that
great force which will bring us to a
fuller realization of the F,therhood of
God and the brotherhood of all men.
Let us be loyal to our great Captain
who gave His life for the cause of the
worlds brotherhood and salvation.

DISTINCTIVE SIGN FOR TOWN
Idea That Is Attaining Popularity In
England ls Worth Consideration
In Our Own Land.

They are endeavoring in England to
make a fashion In village signs--what
good notion to borrow! 1t has been
urged that for the unlovely notice at
the entrance to Il town, reading, Fair
field. No 'cut-outs,'' there be sub
stituted sign such as villages and
the visitors to them enjoyed In the old
days; design, boldly executed and
colored which should call to mind
some historical or industrial assocla-
ton with the place, or some sugges-
ton Inherent In the name Itself ana
which would come In time to be known
as the symbol Of the town. The Lon
don Daily Mall thought the idea so
good that 1t opened competition to
designers Of village signs. The first
prize was 5000 and has gone to man
who made sign for the village Of
st. Peter Thanet-the English have
literally picturesque names on their
map, but some Of our own Indian
words would offer the artist as rich an
opportunity, and think, too, what he
could do for Concord and Lexington,
for Deertleld and Tarrytown. Several
Of the English villages have already
responded with the offer to buy the de-
signs submitted In this particular com
petition and have them executed and
set up. In addition Automobiles
have declared their desire to contrib
ute toward the expenses in some cases,
for they say that though they live In
the city, they would have much pleas
ure from these signs. At this point,
however, the village will be wisest to
refuse. The town may go where II
will for the artist, but the sign must
be its own, no gift to 1t from an out
slder-better take five years to get II
and have 1t real than obtain 1t quick
ly and artifclally. The village sign
Is no fashion to sweep the countryside
wholesale, but what an admirable one
to set going and let grow steadily !
