Important

We have been advised that a group
Of men, dressed in clothes very sim
liar to the regulation army uniform,
are canvassing the Lower Peninsula
of Michigan, selling a book called the
"Doughboys' Fun and Facts" at 25c
each. They claim the money raised
in this manner is to be used for well
fare work among eX-service men.
Their game seems to be to arrive in
a town by automobile, make a whirl-
wind campaign and go on to the next
town. This is purely fraud. Should
they arrive in your town, have them
arrested at once. To date they have
succeeded in eluding the officers in
each town they visit and have been
doing so for several months past.
We have been advised by the De-
partment Commander of the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars that no author
ization has been given to any of their
members drought the state to col
lect any money for welfare work. II
any individual is found doing this, he
should be stopped Immediately.
The American Legion, Department
of Michigan, has not authorized any
person to collect funds for any pur-
pose, and should anyone be appre-
hended soliciting funds, wire Depart
ment Headquarters at once.

to fight the catalogue evil than thru
