Would Form Local Organization
Dudley Loomis post, American Le-
gion, through the post commander,
Sergeant Nagele, makes the follow
ing plea for the Salvation Army:
"The Salvation Army occupies an
unique position in the minds of those
who served. While remembering the
fact that the Red Cross, the Y. M. G.
A., the X. C.'s and other like organi-
cations performed their share of their
particular mission during the war,
the Salvation Army is the only or
ganization of this class that retained
the unanimous support and the good
will of the men who were in the
service. We are still and always will
be in hearty sympathy with anything
your organization undertakes to do.
We wish you success in your pres
ent mission
The Moscow chamber of commerce,
through the president, George N.
and Secretary B. G. Rowe,
has issued the following statement:
"Inasmuch as the Salvation Army
is nationally known as an organfza-
ton, the Moscow Chamber of Com
merce does not feel that a special
letter of recommendation is required
to call the attention of the people of
Moscow. Idaho, to the splendid work
being done by this organization.
Therefore the matter of contribution
IS left to the individual solicited"
