AMERICAN LEGION DANCES.

On the first and third Wednesday
Of each month the American Legion
Of this city will give dance at the
National Guard Armory on Iberia
Street; this to be a regular feature
Of the Summer Amusement program
me that is to be followed.
The first of these dances was held
the first Wednesday of the present
month and was a decided success,
and there is all reason to believe
that all that are to follow are to be
even better.
The Banner Orchestra has been
engaged for the entire summer;
surely this is drawing card. This
music has earned reputation
throughout the entire South Louisi-
ana and it will not be long before
the whole state will have heard, of
it's fame and will be calling for it.
The next dance will be on We'd
nesday, May II, at the Armory at
$50 P. NJ, and the admission will
be $1.O0. Write all of your friends
in the surrounding towns of the fact
and urge them to be here to contri-
butte to the success. All of the funds
obtained from these entertainments
are used to further the work of the
ex-service man who is not doing the
best in the hard old world. Hardly n
week passes that the local Post does
not help some worthy soldier Of the
last war who is down and out at
present, but who is striving to get
on to a place where he can get a
regular job; last week it was a Brit
ish soldier, who presented all of his
papers showing the merit of his
cause who shared the benefits of
your past good help. Keep on help
ing.

Legion Five Wins From Barre

The game last Thursday evening with

but was none the less very interesting.
The Barre team started off with a rush
and after the first ten minutes of play
we're leading the locals to 3. The team
work of the local five was not up to the
usual form, owing to the loss of their
center, Carroll Silloway. The new COM

practice looks very promising.
