Grandma ,Hapgood, on her little
billy Massachusetts farm, wrote in

Grandma was se-cleaning, and
on a certain sunny day in late April

coverlets, and to air the comforters

GOVERNOR DAVIS ENDORSES
MARCH 20 AS AMERICAN
LEGION EMPLOYMENT DAY

Permit me to inform you that l
have been following with a great
deal of cordial interest the efforts
of the American Legion to obtain
work for the thousands of former
service men who are out of employ
ment in the country at large, and
of course | am particularly concern
ed with this problem here in Idaho
l do not hesitate to express the
earnest conviction that every effort
SHOULD be made both by individuals
and by civic organizations in the diff
ferent communities of the State TO
bring this drive to a successful Gull
mination on March goth. this date
haveing been set, 1 understand, as
American Legion employment day.
Idaho has not forgotten and new
er will forget the sacrifices made by
the men who wore olive drab in the
war for civilization. The former
service man deserves every consid- !
GRAFTON that can be given him. 1
can think of nothing that would oc-
casion keener or more justifiable |
state pride than an announcement
that Idaho has found employment
for every one of her sons who serv-
ed with the colors in 1917 and
1918.
Very sincerely yours.
D. w. DAVIS,
Governor of Idaho.
