AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

A joint melting of the American Lee
gion and the American Legion Auxil-
larry will be held in the band hall at
eight o'clock this Friday night April
9TH. Every member of both organ
izations is requested to be present as
many important matters viii be dis
cussed
The women of the auxiliary will
meet as usual in the afternoon of Fri
day also.
| We have received six new bugles
for our bugle corps, and as soon as
possible we will organize a corps.
Then comes the drum corps, which
promises to be as overrun with appli-
cants as the bugle corps. The Legion
will also have one of the best base
ball teams in this section of the state,
and applicants for the team should see
Eugene Helgeson at once.
As stated IN last weeks paper, the
Cleanup Squad viii be in Viroqua
April 18th and 18th. Every man in
Vernon County who intends to have
his claim for compensation attended
to should be in Viroqua on one of
those days, and the following instruct
ions must be carried out if they ex-
pect to get any action on their claims.
All soldiers making claims should
have certified copies of their discharge
papers and if wife or children are
! involved, certified copies of marriage
certificate and each child's birth re-
cord. They should be prepared to sub
stantiate each claim they make, by
sworn statements from people who
knew them before entering service,
buddies who knew them in service, and
/ from people who observed their con-
dition shortly after leaving service.
Every soldier should remember that
| these credentials must be made out
before the Cleanup Squad arrives,
and if the Post Commander can be of
any service in preparing the neces-
sary papers, they may feel free to call
on him for this help The American
Red Cross Chapter of Viroqua will
aid the American Legion in this work
and all men interested should get busy
at once and arrange to be on the Job
the morning of the 18th or 18th. All
the fellows in Viroqua should attend
to their papers at once, so as to give
the fellows from the country the adj
vantage of the two days, but should
any of the fellows from the country
be in Viroqua before the above dates,
they should have their papers fixed
out. All newspapers in Vernon coun-
| ty will be doing the American Legion a
great favor if they copy these Legion
notes, and every soldier win be doing
some disabled soldier a great favor If
he viii tell him about the above in
structions. This is Vernon county's
chance to get matters settled as to
compensation for her returned dis
abled soldiers, and no man should
make the mistake of refusing to come
before this Squad thinking he can do
better by applying to his Congress-
man or otherwise. II has taken the
II Government some time to get the ball
rolling for her returned disabled sol
diers, but from all reports from other
counties where this Squad has been,
they are rushing through claims with
the minimum of delay. DIES.
II just as we go to press, a telegram
was received that the above dates have
been postponed indefinitely, concerning
/ tn Cleanup Squad, but every soldier
should bear in mind the above in
structions and have his papers COM
pleted at once so as to be ready when
the squad arrives.
"CHET" is BACK TO vIROQUA
DR. G. A. Minshall has sold his vet
Urinary practice at Westby and on
next Monday viii return to Viroqua
and become a member of the Smith Il
Slack insurance firm. The Censor is
as pleased to see "Chet' return as IL
was sorrowful to see him depart. The
city of Viroqua needs men of his in
tegrity and ability. He is a good spe-
cimen of the young progressive type
of man, and will make an efficient
team-mate for our capable mayor and
his poppy young partner. We wish
them all abundant success.
4 Dr. E. r. Benson of Cornell, Wis,
has purchased the Office and equip
ment of DIR. Minshall and will be at
Westby to take over the practice on
