Big Rush to Renew
Legion MenbersItip

Membership Of the American Legion
shows great Quickening Of interest.
Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant Of
the organization has declared, after
reviewing the rapid renewal Of mem.
bership for 1924. Figures In the
hands Of the officials Of the organiza.
ton. indicate that renewals are IS per
cent greater than In any previous year.
which fact Is taken as a sign Of .
healthy condition.
Mr.. BOlles has said that such an
Increase Is due primarily to the op-
position to the demands Of ex-servlce
men for adjusted compensation. which,
he says, has only served to unity the
veterans that their request may be
needed. He says that charges to the
contrary are unfounded and only In.
spired by designing persons who seek
to discredit the Legion because OF Its
program.
One Indication OF the increased In.
terest. according to the Legion man.
Is the unusual sales made by the di.
vision which handles official jewelry
for the organization. In two weeks
prior to Christmas. the sales OF this
division exceeded by more than three
times. those Of the previous yenr. An
other sign taken by the national ON.
cials as n splendid forecast. Is the
rapid filling Of the "Five Hundred
Clubs" Of posts which boast Of more
than 1000 members. These clubs In.
ciude only the nrst hve hundred men
