DO Il Now.

Now is the best time of the year for
every American Legion post to go after
new members.' Every eX-service man
who is a member now should remem-
Der that the post commander and the
post adjutant of his post can't get
those members without help. 1t is to
your interest as much as it is TO the
interest of your officers that your post
has big crowd Speak to your neigh
Dor about it. Perhaps he'd join your
post If he was asked. Lots of fellows
you know don't consider IT talking to
them personally if you are talking to
crowd. They want to be fed with a
spoon, you know. Well, feed 'em.
Speaking of Soldier Insurance.
The question is frequently asked,
What is the best form Of policy?'
This must be decided by the insured
himself, because he knows best his fl
nancial cordition, etc. If, however,
man should select one, form and later
decides that some other form would
suit him better and desires to exchange
for another form of converted policy at
a lower rate, he may do so any time
within five years from the effective
date of his original contract by sur
rendering his policy and submitting
satisfactory evidence of his present
good health. The new policy will bear
the same date as the old one, will be
based on the same age and may be for
the same or less amount Of insur-
ance. The difference in the reserve on
the old policy and the reserve on the
new policy may be used only toward
payment of premiums on the new
policy where the policy has been in
force less than one year but if it has
been in force one year or longer the
difference in reserve may be used to-
ward payment of premiums on new
policy or withdrawn in cash.
The Indianapolis Conference.
A conference of state and national
American Legion officials was held in
Indianapolis, Ind, at national head
quarters in January. At that confer
ence the first business transacted was
the adoption Of a resolution with re-
gard to disabled eX-scryice men.
THE American Legion, in conference
assembled of its National Executive
Committee, department commanders,
department adjutants and important
national committees as it's first
thought and action calls upon the gov
eminent for the prompt, honest and
efficient functioning of all agencies af-
fecting the welfare of our disabled
comrades; and further demands that
immediate steps be taken by the proper
authorities to completely decentralize
the Veterans Bureau and settle at once
all pending claims.
THE American people want these
men given proper care. The American
Legion intends to see that this is
done"
Other things accomplished at this
conference were:
Approved the national commanders
plan for service and compensation
census in all departments.
Appropriated $4,000 for memorial
to be erected in Cincinnati in honor ol
the late National Commander Gal
braith.

All over York county and all over
the state and the nation ex-service
men are watching the action of the
government relative to the passage or
the soldier bonus bill. All over the
country the ex-servlce men are conf
dent that the bill is going 70 pass and
some Of them have even gone so far as
to calculate just exactly what they are
going to do with theirs. That it is
coming there is little or no doubt; but
when no man can tell. The only thing
to do is for ex-soldiers to rest easy
about it. You'll have plenty of notice
when 1t is due and payable.
