and fraternal spirit engendered by service in the late war; to pro- tect and promote the interest of members and all ex-service men and by great cohesive organiza- tion to form a national bulwark of patriotism. It proposes to achieve its objects by nonpartisan action. There is no sectional is- sue confronting the American Le- zion. By carefully steering the wise course upon which it has en- tered, there is no reason why it should not ultimately embody in it's membership and represent the views of practically all of the sur viving soldiers of the great war.
 There are now more than two million members of the American Legion and the org anization has more than four and one-half mil lion to draw from. The Ameri- can Legion will soon be the lar gest cohesive body acting under unified aims in America. And although nonpolitical, the Legion is sure to exert an indirect inhu. ence in politics.
 Although neutral in matters involving employer and employee, the Legion is sure to exert an in. direct influence in labor matters.
 The American Legion is the most potent force in the country today for inculcating and preserv- ing the doctrines of true Ameri- canism and for combating un- American propaganda.
 Considering the membership of the American Legion itself and the immense number of relatives and friends and we'll wishers of the members, any undertaking by the Legion should have the hearty support of the community.

Keeping Money at Home on
 the Yukon

Yukon has learned the trick with Tn the last 20 years of keeping most of its money at home by pre- ducing a large share of it's own foodstuffs. The valley produces annually most of the potatoes and other vegetables which it consumes and is also large producer of poul- try and eggs, and has a good start in raising cattle and hogs.

AMERICAN LEGION OPENS BUILDING FUND CAMPAIGN
 WITH ENJOYABLE DANCE
Local Post Plans to Make the Coming Season Lively One With Numerous
 Dances, Smokers, Bazaars, Etc.

The first of the series of dances which the American Legion will give this winter for the benefit of the building fund took place at the Redmen hall Saturday evening. A popular priced ad- mission was charged and the at. tendance was very good. The music was furnished by four young people in turn. Miss Ruth Lindman at the piano was as- sisted by G. F. Scribner, and Laurence Taylor by Dick Hanson. Loyal Binkley was floor manager and Harry Coulter had charge of admissions. The dancers spent a very enjoyable evening and there is no doubt but that the Legion dances will be very popular this winter and that the building fund will grow accordingly.
 The building fund campaign that has been launched by the To- cal post of the American Legion is in keeping with a general movement on the part of the or ganization for the erection of a post home in every city and town in the United States in which there is located a post of the Am erican Legion.
 The local post plans to make the coming season a lively one with numerous dances, smokers and bazaars.
 Armistice Day November ID will be commemmorated with an all-day bazaar followed by a big dance in the evening.
 It is the duty of every patriotic citizen to support the efforts of the American Legion by at least showing that degree of interest which shall encourage the mem- bers in their worthy undertaking.
 The American Legion is in a class by itself, and is destined to do a wonderful work in preserv- ing the history and traditions of the American Expeditionary For. ces and its units and individual members.
 For many years the Grand Ar my of the Republic was the keeper of the ark of the covenant. It controlled politicians and ire quently dominated politics. It focused the sentiment and also the practical interests of the vet erans. Its real importance was that it stood before the nation as an organization devoted to patri- otism. The successor to the Grand Army of the Republic is the American Legion, another great body of American veterans who have survived a call to ser vice and who by their service in- dicated their devotion to the na- tional sacrament.
 The American Legion is de- signed to preserve friendships

Today whether Letta would face a

owing to her extreme youth. Indica-
lions, however. pointed to her being
brought before the circuit court be-
cause of her marriage.
The trial will open behind closed
doors

wood chopper in the Iron Mountain
district of the Ozarks.
Stories of the death of little Lilly
Parsons vary. Some declare that Let
ia shot her stepdaughter to get even
with her husband who was alleged to
be having an affair with another wo-
man. -,
Others state that Letta shot the girl
when she refused to let Letta comb
her hair.
Letta said she was playing and that
the shotgun-which nearly blew the
top of the child's head off-went OFT
by accident. that she didn't know 1t

Association, Speaks at C. of c.

I'VE need more Sunday schools, not
only in the United States, but in for
eign countries said w. c. Pearce,
associate general secretary of the
Worlds Sunday School association of
New York City, in an address today
noon at the Topeka Chamber of Com

Coe of Topeka.
81 was recently talking to young
man from Turkey" said Pearce, land
l was impressed by what he told me
concerning the missionary work going
on in that country, even with our linn
tied resources and workers there. That
young man came to the United States
from Turkey, after he had been con-
verted by our missionaries. He set
tied in Columbus Ohio, went to work
and is now a credit to his community.
1 could not help but contrast this man
with Villa, the Mexican bandit, who
lives in a country where there is prac-
tically no Christian training for the
members of his class"
