GET READY GOPHERS
The Zero Hour

For the big Gopher rally or distrlct'
county and post commanders and ad-
jutants is fast approaching. MIME
apolis is the place, May 9th ana ftn
the time, when from every corner OF
the state the Gopher Gang will as
semble to swap plans and ideas with
the object of making the American
Legion of Minnesota the hnest ana
partment in the nation. IF there IS
one appeal above all others which
would like to make to the men OF
Minnesota who honored me with the
responsibility of department COM
mander for 1922, it is that every mem
Der of the Gopher Gang make 1T his
personal concern to see that his post
arranges to send it's commander ana
adjutant to Minneapolis for the con-.
vention," says State Commander van
Dyke. ....
There is every indication that the
Gopher Gang will see to it that the 500
district, county and post eommanders
will be there, along with the 6Oo as
trict county and post adjutants, Judg-
ing by letters which are reachlng
Commander Van Dyke daily. They not
only say they will be there, but de-,
clare they wouldn't miss the conVen-
ton for any consideration. II every
post, county and district feels that
way, the success of the Gopher Legion
rally is assured In addition to the
discussion from the floor ana among
the adjutants and commanders, each
district commander will devote FIVE
minutes in telling what posts In MS
district have accomplished and ive
minutes in telling of plans for the fu-
ture. Then, too, the department COM
manders of Wisconsin, Iowa, NORTH
and South Dakota plan to attend and
tell the Gophers what their depart
ments are accomplishing.
The state conference of the Minneso-
ia Americanization Association will be
held in Minneapolis May 9TH ana etn.
Secretary of Labor Davis will be there
and will probably talk to the Legion
commanders and adjutants at joint
banquet of the two conventions on the
evening Of May 9Th. The Americana
zation conference is open to all our
tration fee-so many Legion leaders
plan to reach Minneapolis May 9Th,
take part in the AmericaniZation con-
ference May 9Th and the forenoon OF
May 9Th, and then be present at the
opening Of Gopher Legion convention
