followed more leisurely with Molly.
They arrived at the cache few min
utes after the half-breeds, to find the
two policemen waiting for them, while
the two men we're embarrassing the
dogs. Andersen. the old Swedish care
taker, was standing beside Joe's coffin
with stunned look ON his face. The
policemen were not OF prepossessing
appearance. The elder man, the ser.
geant, was about forty years Of age.
He had fair hair, dropping mustache,
n slight cast In one eye, and an ex-
preston OF sullen insolence. His COM
panion, short, stocky young fellow,
looked hardly less surly and evidently
LII at ease.
Evening, Mr.. Carruthers," said the
sergeant bruskly. ''I'm sergeant Pc
tiers, and this Is Constable Myers.
That's Joe Bostock's body you're bring

Wilton was staggered. Eyes, It's
Joe" he said gulping. "How did you

The policemen exchanged glances.
Peters smiled scornfully under his
long mustache, ''It's known. all right.

LEGION HONORED AL DEAD
Organization Participated In Services
at Final Interment OF Men
Brought Home.

Army transports in which many OF
them went across eager for the con-
fiict have carried back the last of the
$4,000 A. Il. r. dead, those relatives
had requested to be returned to this
country for permanent burial. The
graves registration service Of the
army, which had the work of return
Ing these bodies in charge, did an al
most superhrman task. But this
service could not give the comradely
human touch to the handling Of these
bodies after they reached the United
States that seemed due them.
No organization was so well suited
to perform the last rights of honor
and respect for these soldier dead as
was the American Legion. The men OF
the Legion took upon themselves the
obligation. Forty ship loads of bodies
came to eastern ports during a period
of two and half years. 1t was not
always possible to have an elaborate
service, because the arrivals were too
frequent, but in every instance there
was at least a prayer by chaplain
of the Protestant, Catholic or jewish
faith, an address by a prominent citi-
zen or army officer and a rifle salute.
A number of times, however, the
services were noteworthy. President
Harding delivered an address az
services arranged by the Legion, May
%, 1921, when the Princess MatOika
arrived with 451 bodies. General
pershing and Senator Lodge spoke
when the Somme and the Wheaton ar
rived, July 10, 1921, with 1000 dead.
The last cargo of bodies arrived In
Brooklyn, in April, 1922, on TIE Cam.

Private Charles w. Graves, Company

on a caisson through the streets, lined
with silent threngs, to the army base,
where simple ceremonies marked the
close of the last public demonstration
for Americas returned dead.

Of
Legion posts are established In
practically every community In the
United States and Legionnaires have
carried their flag into 20 foreign coun.
tries In every one Of these far-fiune
11,000 posts there are one or more
men who know Lemuel Bolles. Mr.
Bolles, then, knows them. Ever since
the Legion was organized In France
Mr.. Bolles has been identified with 1t,
Since its first convention In Minneapo-
lis In 1919 he has been national adj
iutant, and as such he has met per
sonally or correspondent with thou
sands of Legion men and women. His
duties have taken him into almost all
the AZ states during these three years,
and he receives thousand or so let
tiers each week. He has, without doubt,
the largest personal acquaintance with
men of arms ever enjoyed by any In.
dividual since armies were invented.
Mr.. BOlles was born In Minneapolis,
grew up on the ranges Of the Dako-
tas and was established In Seattle,
Wash, when he entered active service
for the World war. He began his
military career as a private In Ma
tional Guard company. Overseas he
served as colonel on the general
staff of the First army corps, and
was decorated with the Legion Of Hon.

Wilton, who, of course, knew all the
members of the small force of police
that was stationed there.
"We're from the Pas" answered the
sergeant shortly.

subsidized promptly. II guess this

continued.
"This lady In Miss Mcdonald" said
Wilton angriIy, "and you'll keep civil

Peters looked him up and down inso-
Iently, and for moment or two the
men faced each other In an aggressive
attitude. Then the sergeant, sneering.
swung on his heel. Wilton did not
know what TO make Of his attitude. for
the police were always friendly.
Andersen's room was placed at Mol
lys disposal and after Wilton had
seen TO her comfort he went outside
the shack.
The dogs were yelping and snarilng
over their fish from the cache. Pa
piIlon had just finished feeding them,
and Wilton thought Peters had been
speaking to him. Probably the ser
geant was trying to obtain informa-
ton.
The Swede came up to Wilton, hold
ing pan OF sizzling brown potatoes.
II cant believe 1t. Mr.. Carruthers,'
he said. "Only last week he passed
through here with you. Gosh, he was

"Joe was shot at my side In the

I'm going to know" said Wilton
grimly.
"My God, it's all up with the line

Wilton Looked at Molly whe had
come out Of the bedroom and was
standing near him. Andersen's excla.
nation had gagged the whole situation,
Wilton felt physically nauseated BY
the heat IN the shack, the unpleasant
ness Of the situation, and recurrence

friendship that looked as If II would
be good for all time. Do you know
what the trouble Is, Molly?"
"I'm afraid Tom Bowyer has been
influencing him against you. He has
strong power over father. He helped
him In some way when he first came
to this country"
'Then that's another score against
our friend Bowyer," said Wilton.
"But / was going to say--you see,
my fathers mind has given way to

May | Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.

Without the Postal Service, business
would languish in a day. and be at a
standstill in a week. Public opinion
would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrowmindedness thrive
1t is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and it comes nearer to the
innermost interests of greater num-
Der of men and women than any other
institution on earth. No private bust
ness, however widespread, touches SO
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls.
fiuttcrs 50 many pulses, has SO many
human beings dependent on Its min
istratiOns.

been set for May l, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
paign of Its kind In the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations, large users Of
the mail. newspapers. motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire OrganIza-
ton of 100000 postal workers are to be

Let's Have One.

We are a believer in women $
clubs. Properly conducted they
accomplish world OF good. This
town should have one. A live
organization of this kind has
wonderful field in which to labor.
There is the matter Of bringing
up our boys in such a manner that
they will become leaders instead CT
drones when they reach maturity.
We want to see our girls modest
and ladylike at all times, instead
of bold and defiant, as you find
them in some places. We want
them to eventually make the right
kind of mothers. Then there are
many women who do not under
stand the art of managing huS-
band. They do not employ that
degree of tact which produce har-
mony instead of disCord. A COM
parison of notes along this line
would produce wonderful results
in some homes. In fact there is
no limit to the opportunities for
impr owing social and domestic con-
ditions.
Men are busily engaged in pro-
viding the necessities of life and
managing our political affairs
Their minds are to much occupied
to note as they should the loose
points of our moral and social sur
roundings.
1t requires feminine brains to
devise ways and means of putting
that touch of beauty and refine
ment to our community which
makes living most attractive. 1t
is the brain of woman which is
best fitted to plan and execute
those ennobling influences which
should control the destinies of
humanity. We have room for a
live woman's club. Let's have
one.
The Dolores star., 1922-04-28

THERE are some people who go
through life with smooth serenity
that is seldom ruffled. 1t is not
ruttled because they do not trouble
to go deeply into affairs and con-
ditions around them. They do
no harm in the world, and some
times exert themselves to the ex-
tent of doing little good We like
them, but they command no great
amount Of admiration. There is
another class, and they are in the
majority, who are not averse to
speaking their minds. Generally
they are fair students of men and
conditions, dig down after facts,
make up their minds after a care
full analysis, and then stand by
their convictions. They give
praise where it is due, but do no,
hesitate to Censure when it becomes
necessary. They are the construc-
tive citizens of this country. And
then there is still third class.
They are the kicSers-the chronic
ones-and their happiest moments
are when they are kicking at some
thing, or somebody, or both. They
come into the world kicking, go
through life with a kick, and kick
because they haye to shuttle off
They are destructive to society.
but more destructive to tothemselyes,
The choice is yours.
