Convention Opening To-day
in New Orleans Is Ex.
gspected 10 Surpass Amy
thing Heretofore Tried
Countrywide Reports Favor
Deegan, New York Man,
for Post of National Com
rnander; Girls Invited

Everything is in readiness for the
opening to-day of the annual Legion
convention at New Orleans and all in
dications point to the fact that it will
not only be the biggest affair Of it's
kind ever staged in that city but that
it will far surpass anything hereto
fore attempted by the Legion.
The American Legion special train,
composed of eight cars, left the Grand
Central Station Saturday at 1 o'clock
with the entire New York contingent
on board. Special stops were made at
various points UP state to pick up dele
gates. 1t is expected that the train
will arrive in New Orleans early this
morning
Legionnaires throughout the city
expressed themselves on leaving as
more than satisfied with the reports
coming in from all parts of the coun-
try favoring William F. Deegan past
commander of the New York Depart
ment, for the office of national COM
mander. In view of the announced
support of the delegates from Mis-
souri, and Massachusetts and from any
number Of posts, the New York City
Legionnaires, and particularly those
from the Bronx, and confidens that the
next national commander will be from
this city and that his name will be
Bill Deegan.
II Deegan is elected to that office
it will be the first time since the for
nation of the Legion that a New
Yorker has been made national COM
mander. Posts throughout the state
have instructed their delegates to vote
for him.
Deegan has gained his great popu-
larity from the fact that during his
period of office as state commander he
has always shown that his aims are
the aims of the ex-service man and
that his one desire is to see that the
veteran gets a square DEAL
Advance reports from the Committee
in charge of the arrangements for the
convention indicate that there will be
10000 ex-service men and women and
their friends in New Orleans through
out this week. The largest parade
ever held in that city will take place
on Wednesday, when 10000 members
of the Legion will march down Canal
Street in review in column of platoons.
A cenotaph commemorating the SOL
dier dead has been erected on the par
quet of Canal Street, directly opposite
the tribune of the gold star mothers,
and all veterans will pay tribute to
their fallen comrades with salute as
they pass by. The route Of the parade
will cover a distance ofs7about four
miles, and it is expected that the head
of the column will reach it's destina-
tion before the rear guard has passed
the reviewing stand.

scented this season, viii be played
at Rosemont Base Ball Park on
Wednesday. August 9th, 500 p. M.

posed of athletic girls who have
made base ball study and profes-

g.
The club Is organized in Chi
cago. and they make a tour of the
country each year, and this is their
first season in the South, as they

disappointed, as these girls play
ball
A large crowd will surely be on

After The Showdown

All over the country today man.
ufacturers, jobbers, and merchants
are giving serious consideration to
this important and conspicuously
demonstrated fact: the public pre-
fer to buy nationally advertised
brands Of merchandise. And pub
lie demand is the last word in all
economic situations. No one can
go against it and long endure.
This will mean, then, that more
and more manufacturers will seek
out ways to make their products
worthy of distinctive trademark
and a sustained plan of advertising.
1t will mean that merchants will
more and more give preference in
their stocks to advertised brands.
It will mean that the jobbers will
more and more arrange to supply
the merchant with advertised
brands.
But new advertisers, manufac-
turers who are finally convinced
that their future lies in the direc-
ton of an advertised product, will
discover that the magic power of
advertising cannot be applied over
night. 1t may require sustained
effort to attain position of equal
ity with competitors who have
been advertising for many years.
This will be an unWelcome discov-
cry. But it will be found to be the
truth, and will be their only hope Of
gaining a substantial foothold in
what, from now on, must continue
to be more keenly competitive
market than we have known for
generation.
