editorial7 Through these two oc-

Early mistakes made by over en-
thusiastlc ex-service men, n good
many of these mistakes making the
posts or departments in debt on ac-
count OF this enthusiasm and lack of
acceptance of responsibility. have
been done away with in the past
year. Both posts and departments
are realizing that their business In
tegrity must be kept unimpeachable.
In addition to that. a deeper spirit of
Americanism and acceptance of re-
sponsibility is making the interjection
Of personalities and cliques in the
legion a thing of the past. 1t has
become an axiom in the American
Legion that you can't be a cheater
or a fore1usher and get by"
The departments recently visited as
n representative OF the national or
~ganization. are Utah, Idaho, Montana
and Washington. together with h
Department of Wyoming. and all of
these departments are n good shape
although all of them ut n time or
another had a larger membership
than now. They have realized that
n large membership with only a
small percentage of the members
working is OF no more real value
than a smaller membership with
everybody working. The Department
OF wyoming has just concluded the
most successful convention that was
ever held. The convention developed
considerable differences of opinion as
always. out they were thrashed out
in a friendly and amicable way. and
everyone who had the privilege Of at
tending went away feeling that IT was
a privilege. that the convention had
accomplished a great deal Of good and
that Laramie and the Laramie post
were wonderful hosts.
A large delegation is planning to
attend the national convention at
San Francisco. and in this connection
in order that the general public may
understand some Of the principles Of
the American Legion, there are no
candidates for the various offices in
the sense Of candidates for political
office, although the various national
offices are much sought after and no

declared by lower freight rates from

possible for Chicago and tho east TO

Those at the meeting agreed that
the remedy necessary was to waive
the long and short haul clause Of the
Interstate Commerce commissions
regulations to permit the railroads to
reduce rates from Chicago and the
central states to the Pacific coast
without reducing the charges to the
intermediate territory. II was ex-
planned that the railroads have asked
for such action but that shipping in

have opposed any reductions in rams

Those who are interested in the success of a building suitable for g nurses home are most cordially invit- ed to the ceremonial opening of Tut ank-hamen's Tomb as described in this paper one week ago.
 This event will take place al the residence of Mir. and Mrs Wendell Witter on June 2e. which is easy of access, as it is near the state road.
 Don't forget the date. If you do you will miss seeing seven groups of tiae following nations. led by Uncle Sam, Liberty and Columbia, followed by Great Britain, Belgium, France. Sweden, India, and Italy, represented by Mouslini and a group of the fa- eisti, six young men in black shirts and red sashes. who will sing the Gar ibaldi Hymn. than which there Is no finer martial music. India will be rep resented by group of four women who will sing "The Song of India. " Each nationality will sing the anthem of their own country as they march up to the entrance of the tomb. The East Woodstock orchestra, conducted by Nelson Frink, will ably assist the nations in rendering their songs.
 The luncheon caravan will be sup piled with western refreshments. such as sandwiches, and iced coffee and tea, cake. ice cream, and an abun. dance of luscious strawberries with rich cream produced in this valley of the Kings of Agriculture.
 As preeaution against the sting of thirst a graduate nurse in a cozy home will give first aid in delicious drsughts of fruit punch. ice cold.
 All the treasures are removed from the palatial residence of Queen "Bossy" and her heiresses and the floors are polished sufficiently for dances, new and old. The Eastern orchestra will furnish the music. This is commonly called barn dance.
 Forget not the date. It is June 29th. beginning st 5.3o by the sun dial. The lighting and decoration of the grounds will have to bc seen to be appreciated.
