WHY LEGION POSTS PROGRESS
Working Hand In Hand With Re-
spective Communities Results in
Membership Increase.

Progress of the posts of the Ameri'
can Legion is founded on the relations
with the community in which they are
located, according to findings of the
national officers Of the organization
from survey of posts showing regu.
lar membership increase.
This survey was made in % states
principally those of agricultural re-
gions, and represented reports from
$40 posts in towns with an average
population of II, 1913 persons. Each of
these posts has shown membership in
crease over that of the preceding year.
Membership growth Of these posts has
not been sporadic. 1t has been steady
and sure. OF the BOG posts formed in
1919, an average of SO members was
shown. In 1920 this average for 357
posts had dropped to %. The next
year 1874 posts added one more to the
average. In 1922, the average for 600
posts jumped to So and thus far the
$40 posts show an average of 62 men,
bers
Reasons assigned for this growth
are primarily due to interest in civic
affairs. A majority of post officers
say that membership has grown be-
cause they have sold the Legion to
the community Such posts have en-
countered little opposition in their
five-year progress in Legion activity.
Actual accomplishments of the Lee
gion show a multiplicity of move
ments, and keen observance by the
veterans Of the needs Of the commu-
mites. The questionnaires show that
posts have built tourist parks and
camping grounds; they have caused
city parks to be opened; some build
and maintain baseball parks and
clubs; others build community bathing
pools; a large number of posts have
caused Fairgrounds to be opened;
many have erected public memorials;
a few provide free band concerts by
Legion musical organizations some
plant trees as part Of conservation
program and for memorial purposes;
others maintain burial plots for de-
ceased ex-service men; most Legion
posts make efforts to obtain employ
ment for former service men; they
direct boy scout movements and
sponsor troops; they participate in
Americanization Of aliens, and afford
instruction in citizenship for boys and
girls: and the majority perform serv-
ice work for disabled men, through the
posts and in the hospitals. Other &C
tivities assigned as the regular lot OF
Legion organizations include the legis-
lative accomplishments for the veter-
ans. service work for the disabled In
compensation, participation in local
fetes, pageants, athletics, and other
movements developing community In

Give Up Reins of Office.
Oklahoma City, Okla-Governor J.
G. Walton was suspended from office.
when the state Senate by vote of &c
to 1 adopted resolution temporarily
relieving him of his official duties for
the submission by the lower house of
a bill of impeachment against him.
The House short time before had
impeached the governor by passing
bills specifying two of the % charges
made against him. The vote in the
House on the first charge was n to II
with nine absent.
The suspension resolution was in.
troduced by Senator w. M. Gulager of
Muskogee. A committee was named
to inform the governor and the lieu
tenant governor of the action.
Governor Walton said that he in
tended to be at his office as usual.
Shown the text of the resolution as
printed in local newspaper, he
treated it lightly, declaring, That's
just what the newspaper says"
He emphatically declined to make a
statement, meeting each query as to
his future intentions with a bland, Il
