Disabled Boys Make Poppies
More than sixty thousand of our
comrades gave their lives for their
country upon the fields of France.
More than sixty thousand of their
buddies are today undergoing or
awaiting treatment in our govern
ment hospitals. Is it not appropri-
ate that those comrades who still are
paying the price of victory should
have a big part in the plans for pay
ing tribute to the memory of those
who gave their all? Mrs. Sandy
Hamilton, State President of The
Minnesota Legion Auxiliary writes:
cit is our earnest wish that every
Legion Auxiliary Unit-and every
Legion post where no Auxiliary Unit
has been established send us it's
order for Memorial Day Poppies
without delay. The doctors in our
government hospitals proclaim this
the greatest work ever done for our
disabled boys. It keeps them busy
; and contented and at the same time
provides them with much needed
money-but they are making the
peoples faster than orders are COM
ing in. IL

In a letter to State Commander
Van, Dyke from National Adjutant
Bolles, the latter conveys the en-
couraging news that on March LIST
the national paid-up membership of
the American Legion for 1922 was
more than 100000 greater than on
the corresponding date in 1921. And
National Adjutant Bolles adds:
"This is our year to reach the mil
lion mark in actual paid-up member
ships. All signs point that way. Ev-
cry department is working hard
none more so than the Gopher Gang.
What does this new record mean? 1t
means that the Legion has convinced
the average veteran that it is worth
joining; that our fund of prestige
and goodwill is now so great that the
public expects every veteran to be
member.
"The old inertia has been over
come. Such events as the Kansas
City Convention, the tour Of Mar
shall Foch, the adjusted compensa-
ton campaign, and countless good
deeds which Legionaires everywhere
are performing, have advertised the
Legion in very hamlet. Men have
gotten past the point of asking why
they should join. The question now
is How can I afford to stay out?'
each of our eleven thousand Lee
gion posts must take advantage of
this tidal wave of enthusiasm. Early
returns show that the Legion appeal
is stronger than ever. We must go
out and get them in. A million ac-
tive paid-up members by May, 1922,
will give the Legion an overwhelm>
ing front in its fight for the jobless,
compensation, Americanism, the dis
abled, and will give the lie to those
croakers who have predicted the Le-
gion would lose it's standing.
"One hundred and fifty thousand
questionable blanks have just been
shipped to Minnesota for the posts
of your department. By this time
you will have distributed them to
your 500 Gopher posts, whose 10000
Legionaires will go out among their
comrades to record their government
needs and urge them to unite with us
under the Levion banner for the good
of our country and the benefit of all
our buddies.

Challenges the Gopher Gang

Charley Dake, Athletic Chairman
of the Lincoln, Nebraska, Legion
Post, writes: 81 see by the Weekly
that some of the Gopher posts are
training classes in wrestling and box
ing. It's fine idea and one that our
post in Lincoln, Nebraska has taken
up too. + would like to suggest, how
ever, that the Gophers do not get too
cocky or we will turn. loose a few of
our Nebraska Cornhuskers on them.
I have 135-pound wrestler who will
be Grand Champion of The American
Legion one of these days. He is
anxious to take on few of those
tough Gopher guys. Nebraska has
been noted for wrestling champions
in the past, and we will soon have the
Champion of The American Legion.
