The AMERICAN LEGION IS
GROWING FAST in ARIZONA

The American Legion, department
of Arizona, is now tied with that Of
Idaho for second place in the roll-call
of states showing the percentage of
gain in membership over last year.
Arizona's change of position from
third to second place Tgas the subject
of a special wire from national head
quarters congratulating the depart
ment on the splendid gains made since
the first Of the year when it was
down to 47th place.
Arizona with Idaho shows gain
of 104.3 per cent over last year.
Georgia, which still heads the list,
made gain of 1T since the last rat
ing; Idaho gained 013, while Arizona
showed the substantial increase OF
OLA over previous rating.
The growth of the Arizona depart
ment has attracted nationwide at
tention. Commanders of other state
departments are showering Command
er C. NJ. Stoddard with inquiries as
to how he does it and National Com
mander Alvin M. Owsley will be here
the early part of next month for the
purpose of finding out for his own
personal satisfaction.
Ernest A. Love post of Prescott now
heads the lists Of posts in this state
with sensational gain of 2561a per

Stoddard has wired his congratula-

The Lumberjacks went into last Sat-
determination to nicely subdue their
brothers from the east. 1t was a swat
fest from the first stanza to the last
chapter. Normal got away nicely with
a three-run lead. In the fourth frame,
with the bases full, "Hoddy" Stevens,
the shiek, connected with one of Lees
fast ones, and, brother, we are here to
tell you It was the sweetest thump in
our recollection This made the third
homer for the shiek this season. Hol-
brook retaliated bravely in the fourth
and fifth stanZas in an attempt to ev-
en- up the score. Costly errors by the
Lumberjacks, rather than good clean
hitting, made Holbrook look like a real
contender for while. Oh, sweet dad
dyi How those Normalites murdered
the ball in the seventh and eighth
frames.
Artistically, it was no game for the
world to honor in song or story, but
it was a combat of continuous excite
ment, and what do the galleries care
if the affair isn't neat, if it is nifty :?
Lynn Camp was on the mound
through the nine stanzas and pitched
excellent ball. He famed three gen
tlemen in the opening frame. His to-
tai of strike-outs for the first three
games are 25, which is quite some
achievement in itself, if not a record
in schoolboy annals,
Thornton held down the first corner

Prescott now has a good chance of
capturing the grand silver trophy to
be awarded at the coming state meet
ing of the department at Flagstaff.
However, as attendance at the con-
vention counts so points, every post in
the state still has an excellent chance
of winning the coveted prize.
Commander Stoddard has just re-
turned from Yuma, where he was ac-
corded a most enthusiastic reception
From an inactive post last year, the
organization has grown until it now
counts As members and interest in Le-
gion affairs is keen. On May IL Com
mander Stoddard will be the guest OF
the newly organized post at Grand
Canyon and on the following day he
will address the Flagstaff Legion
naires. On May 20 he will be at No
gales as the honor guest at the an
nual picnic of the Ridge Igo post
preparations for which are now un-
der way.

Like the optimist who always. walks
the streets with his head down looking
for the roll of 81 900 bills, the writer
is hunting for logical reason why
Captain "Swede" Johnson, the white
topped leader of the N. A. N. S. base
ball nine, becomes so elusive when we
try to shake him down for an inter-
view. This is "Swede's" first year at
the Normal, but he has made himself
so pat with the boys by his likable
and winning ways that he was Sc
lected to lead this years nine without
a vote cast against him. Johnson does
his work behind the bat. He is an in
telIigent receiver and a competent
thrower.
The schedule for baseball at N. A.
N. S. is still in the making, or rather,
we should say, has not been made up.
The Lulnberjacks have turned in three
victories in as many starts this season,
and should they continue to win, we
see no reason why they shouldn't make
it interesting for some of the valley
schools.

American Legion members in

10000 francs was contributed within
five days by Legionnaires in France.
This amount is one-half Of the total
subscription of the Americans in
France for last years Memorial Day
activities.
In the United States, the campaign
is gaining ground. Contributions have
been received from all sections of the
country. Letters received from con-
tributors express the sentiment that it
is a privilege to assist in honoring
the memory of the 32,100 war heroes
who lie buried in cemeteries of Eu-
rope. Here is $50. Call on me for
like amount each year, if you need
it" one letter stated.
However, the Legion proposes to
raise enough money this year to re-
move the necessity Of future appeals
for funds to decorate the graves. If
the 100000 goal is attained, the trib-
ute to the dead will be paid annually
by Legionnaires in Europe from the
accrued returns of the fund.
Legion posts in the state of Wash
ington have utilized novel plan to
accumulate their share of the fund.
Posts and individuals are adopting
grave in Europe at the cost of $25
for each grave. Pledges were led by
Spokane post with % out of a total
of Ill graves to be cared for by posts
of that state.

That they evaded service during the
World War, failing to register during
the draft period.
That several have engaged in the
liquor traffic of whom number have
been convicted in federal court or are

The toy sale was q success beyond
the highest expectations. The pro-
ceeds amounted to over $100. The
children have already decided how
they will spend their money. The
kindergarteners are going to buy a
canary, a white rabbit, and some ten
mis- shoes; the first graders want ten
mis- shoes, also; the second-graders
wish coping saw blades and lumber;
the upper grades all concluded to
spend their share in improving the
training school grounds.
Spring has come, and with it, the
urge of the outdoors, and as appear
ances speak for themselves, the fac
ulty has answered the call of the wild.
It is with the kind of response that
makes the automobile salesman's heart
beat in tune with the songs of the lit
tie birds in the tree tops. For every
where new and shiny cars are Begin
ming to park themselves along the
drives of the campus, and. of course,
the lucky owners are enjoying unrlv-
aled popularity. Then the unsophis-
ticated students who will one day be
teachers, look forward to the joys of
pedagogy, and apply themselves with
added zeal. However, let it be said
that we heard one mercenary soul re-
mark: "Be nice to Miss Platz and
Miss Whetsel, kids. This may be a
chance for ride to town."
On the evening of Saturday, April
%, the Girls Glee club, popularity
known as mans Concert Party" gave
a performance at Doney Park. Owing
to the fact that our imported dynamo
refused to furnish light, we were a
little late in starting. Everything went
off beautifully, though, even if we
could not have the lighting effects.
After the performance, everyone
entertainers, stage managers and au-
dience alike-were served with dellc-
ious sandwiches, cake and coffee. At
ter that the girls were allowed to
dance two dances before it was time
to start home. The girls enjoyed Civ
ing the entertainment, and most OF
all, they enjoyed and appreciated the
wonderful hospitality that was shown
them.
The April issue of The Pine is OIL
special interest in that it contains the
summer quarter bulletin and will be

rapid stride in circulation that The
Pine has attained-from mere 200
to $500 copies.
The Girls Hiking club ventured on
another jaunt out to Schulz pass last

of education of the n. A. N. S. was

Mullen, Saturday, April %. Mr.. Case,
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Proctor, the
full membership of the board, were
present.
The important business was that OF
considering teachers for the year be-
ginning July 1. 1t is gratifying to
know that practically the entire effic-
lent staff was retained and that most
of the faculty members have indicated
their willingness to remain with the
school, in spite of tine drastic cut by
the legislature, which makes many
needed increases in salary impossible.
