WHAT is THE GOPHER GANG?
Vigor, vitality, vim and punch
The courage to act on a sudden
hunch-
Inc nerve TO Jackie the naFQeSC
thing,
With feet that climb and hands that
cling,
And hearts that never forget to
Buddy, that's the Gopher Gangl
Sand and grit in concrete base
Friendly smile on an honest face
The spirit that helps when a bud
dy's down,
That loves its neighbor and loves
Buddy; that's the Gopher Gang!

turn from New Orleans they will
make five-hour stop at Vicksburg,
also at Memphis and st. Louis. A
Minnesota Civil War Veteran, j. F.
Christian of Wheaton, has copy
of the Vicksburg Daily Citizen pub
lished July 2, 1868, printed on wall
paper, yellow with age, and pro-
tected with frame and glass.
Printed during the two-month siege
one paragraph reads: Eve have
Just INDUCED in a steak of so-called
Confederate beef and can assure
our friends that they need have no
scruples about eating it. As long
as We have a mule left our soldiers
will be content to subsist on it.
Success and glory to our cause"
Other Legion trips which may be
taken from New Orleans include
