are no written orders or commands
except those of your own conscience
and bunk-fatigue brings no excited
top-kicker.
Just the same, Soldier, the Ameri-
can Legion needs you and you need
the American Legion. That's fifty
fifty. Hold up your end and become
member. Your honorable discharge
is your eligibility ticket. Your Lee
gian button will tell the world you
have such a discharge.
Legion Headquarters in the Old
State Capitol, at 532 Boston Block
in Minneapolis, at 312 West Superior
Street in Duluth, or the .Adjutant of
any of Minnesota's five hundred
hustling Legion posts will give you
the glad hand-and stand by you
later, should you need true friend.
And so will any of the thirty thous-
and buddies who form The American
Legion of Minnesota, best and livest
| Legion department in America.
The Motivedis to Serve
When buddy with the American Lee
gion emblem in his buttonhole calls
at your home and inquiries if a form
er veteran lives there, do not think
that he is after donation. What he
wants is to assist comrade of the
great war in any way possible. The
Legion Service Census Campaign is in
full swing throughout Minnesota. Ev-
cry city, town and township is being
canvassed to locate veterans with a
view to adjusting any claims they
may have against the Government,
such as reinstating lapsed assurances,
obtaining vocational training, back
pay, allotments, compensation, medi-
cal treatment, victory medals, dis
charge papers, and SO on. Many a
veteran has a wrong conception OF
the American Legion and its purpose.
It is the earnest wish of every inform
ed Legionaire to give reliable infer
nation about the organization. Ev-
cry live outfit wants to stand right
with the buddies its members fought
with, and respect, every live Legion
aire wants to see the Legion grow
and prosper, so that it may be strong
enough to render still better service
to country and comrades. The qucs-
tionaires carried by the Legion Ser
vice Census workers are confidential.
No Buddy need hesitate about an
,swering the inquiries contained
therein. Your buddies of the Legion
are at your service.
