STATE MEMBERSHIP PUSH
TO Be PUT ON BY LEGION


PORTLAND, Ore, June State
officials of The American Legion have
announced gigantic membership
push to enroll thousand more MEM
bers in its 11O posts prior to the 27th
Of this month. Representation OF
posts as to number of delegates and
alternates is based upon their paid
up mem bership thirty days prior to
the convention date, which is July 27.
The Oregon Department is now in
twenty-first place among the state
departments in the Union and far
ahead of nearby states, California,
Washington, Colorado, Idaho and
Texas. Strenuous efforts will be made
to move the Oregon Department up
to tenth place by June 27th.
Posts has been asked to appoint
committees to interview the eligible
ex-service men and advertise The Am
erican Legion-the only all-inclusive
soldier organization of World War
Veterans in eXistance today. Officials
state that amy eX-service man who is
not a member of The American Le-
gion is against it. If the legion is
fighting for eX-service mems battles
then he should be with us. Every
man outside the legion that is qualifi-
ed to be in it, is an enemy to the le
gion because he wcakens the organi-
zation just that much. AS long as
the exservice men are divided there
cannot be any real progress made in
the cause for which we exist. One for
all--all for one and all for the legion
is the motto of the great veterans or
ganization."

Clean Week.

The approaching warm weather
warns us that a general cleanup
campaign is necessary If we would
have an attractive and healthy city.
Weeds, grass and accumulated
garbage in the vacant lots, alleys and
back yards are the breeding places of
flies, mosquitoes, disease germs and
sickness.
A thorough cleaning up and keep
ing clean must result in many ad-
vantages in our community, Wiz
In promoting thrift; in safeguard
ing health; in stimulating civic
pride; in furthering fire protection /;
in making the home and city beauti-
full.
Now therefore, in pursuance of a
resolution adopted by the Board of
Aldermen and with the advice and
cooperation of the City Health Of
ficer, designate and set apart the
week beginning MONDAY, APRIL 3,
1922, as Cleanup Week and respect
fully urge every resident of the city,
both white and black to unite and
cooperate with the Street Cleaning
Department, to carry on this cam
paign to a thorough clean up. All
garbage, other than such as can be
burned on the premises should be
gathered into barrels, boxes or be
neatly piled in the street near the
gutter so as to facilitate handling
by 1.-THE city truck. An inspection by
the Board of Aldermen and Public
Health authorities will follow.

Two High School Errors.

Two very common errors that are
in the High School very much are the
meaning of the words faculty and
professor. The word faculty denotes
the whole teaching force of a cal
lege or university. The faculty Is
often incorrectly used to denote the
teaching force of high school, and
this mistake should be watched by
all high school students, so that they
will not make this common error.
Again, the title of professor should
be bestowed upon those who teach
in a university or college. Men who
are connected with the high school
are generally incorrectly called pro-
fessor. 1t behooves us to watch the
errors Of this kind.-Silver and Blue.
