AMERICAN LEGION TO
HOLD MONEY RATTLE
IF PLAN is FAVORED

Owing to popular demand on the
part of the pubic, the Frank Per-
kins post Of the American Legion
has decided to give away $1,000 as
a cash prize to the lucky number of
house rattle tickets now sold instead
of refunding the tickets provided this
plan is acceptable to those who
bought chances. If the plan meets
with approval the vouchers will not
be refunded unless demanded by the
ticket holder.
About 230 tickets have been sold
and it is believed that the required
number cannot be disposed of, so as
to hold the house rattle The Legion
expects to send a circular letter to
every person holding a ticket to find
out whether the above plan is salts
factory, and if it is not the money
will be refunded
On the other hand if the plan is
approved the Frank Perkins post will
hold big dance on February 9 at
which the rattle for the $1,000 will
take place. The Legion expects to
give dance which will afford real
old fashioned good time for everyone.
Under the present plan, if salts

that have been sold in hat and the
one which is drawn will receive the
$1,000, approximately the amount
that has been paid on the tickets.
Phe Legionnaires have talked to
a number of ticket holders about the
plan, which appears to be more ac-
ceptable than refunding the money
OF even holding the house rattle if
this last we're possible. The people
thus far interviewed on the proposed
plan are in favor of it, some of them
have expressed the desire to buy
chances on the $1,000. The post,
however, will not sell any more
tickets on the money rattle if it is
held
