"Please extend to the several
hun dred Minnesota newspapers
which are cooperating to such a
remarkable extent with your Min
nesota Legion News Service, the
thanks Of the National Officers of

Gopher Legion Has Fine Record.
Since its establishment In 1919,
the American Legion Of Minnesota
has organized 4s2 Legion Posts
and 275 Legion Auxiliary Units
Every town of 500 population or
more has an American Legion Post,
and most Minnesota towns Of 800
or more population have posts
Sixty-five thousand former service
men have enrolled in the Mime
sofa Legion since its institution
However, the Legion counts only
paid-up members, and at this time
of the year, practically all members
are in the act of reinstating-pay-
ing their 1922 dues. These are
arriving at State Headquarters at
the rate of six thousand each week.
To encourage conscientious study
combined with athletic prowess
among the boys and girls of North
ern Minnesota, each American Le-
gion Post in the Eighth Minnesota
District will present an American
Legion cup or medal each year to
the member of the local high school
who excels both in athletics and in
scholarship. The presentation will
be made the occasion for suitable
ceremony.
Legionaires of Duluth, Minnesota
are nothing if not enthusiastic
sportsmen and athletes. Especially
in winter do they glory in the fray.
This year their Legion Hockey
Team is writing history for "Min-
nesota" and the Legion writing
it across America. They beat
Eveleth's Champion 1921 Hockey
Team two straight, went to Winni-
peg and licked the Canadians twice.
then to st. Paul, where they played
the two most sensational hockey
contests ever staged there, before
the biggest Twin City crowds which
ever gathered to witness such an
event. Both teams, in both games,
were tied at the end of the regular
session, and in the supplementary
period necessary to decide the issue,
st. Paul won both games by two
lucky shots. Now the Duluth bows
are off to Cleveland, Pittsburg, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia to defend the
reputation they have gained for all
that is manly and sportsmanlike in
the athletic life of America. The
Legion emblem appears on every
mans uniform. Their Gopher bud
dies bid them God-speed.
National Commander MacNider's
declaration that ''The Strength of
the Legion is in it's Posts" is
daily being demonstrated by scores
OF Gopher Legion posts. Mime
sofa Legionaires are proving that
quality and not quantity counts
most in Legion affairs as in every
other worthwhile endeavor. Some
| OF the smallest Gopher posts are the
most verile, most helpful, most ag-
gresslve. They are always up to
their ears in worthy community en-
terprizes. As result, they have
their local citizens back of them
have won for themselves place.

hospital. The money furnished a
Christmas tree, Christmas dinner,
