New Office Created

The American Legion OF Oklahoma
Is TO have q department service Off
Ger ut state headquarters. who will aid
post service officers 10 adjust all gov
ernment claims OF disabled and other
eX-service men. \ service division was
created by the department executive
committee at meeting held at Okla
homa City July 2, a elimination OF
hopes and plans OF state headquarters
to provide for posts the services OF
person whose full time and energy shall
be devoted to aiding in the adjustment
of veterans bureau and other govern
ment claims Thus again is partially
fulfilled the pledge of the American
Legion not TO forget disabled comrades
whether members of the legion or not.
Employment of a department service
officer was made possible by receipts
from the Poppy sale held Memorial
Day by practically all posts of the le-
glon The sale is an annual event. Only
enough funds were realized TO last un-
I'll January /, 1922. but some means it
is hoped will be provided to continue
the service division permanently.
Appointment Of the service officer
was left to department Commander
Hughes b. Davis. of Duncan, and Sc
lection OF properly fitted legionnaire
will be made Immediately.

Senator Harreld showed that until the
last two years broom corn had been
bringing a good price but that all at

that this was because of sudden in
