membership at national headquarters
of the Legion here. Hundreds Of
miles of travel by boat, cart, donkey

the birth of new post of the lie

This was illustrated when Harry

headquarters of the Legion here to
apply for charter for the newly
formed Frontera Post No. 9 at
Frontera, Tobasco, Mexico.

THE TRUTH PAYS


Last Saturday morning a kind
ly disposed lady met me on the
street, and in passing greetings, she
asked me, GLOW is business ,"
| replied that business wasn't so
good in our job printing department.
And / might have added that paper
statesmen who visit my office regu-
larly report that there is a slump
in job printing all over the country.
But this is nothing unusual for this
time of year.
The lady then proceeded to predict
that business would be even worse
for me if | continued to publish
items in this paper against prohi-
bition. "The people don't like it,
she said. "And you are going to
find that it harms your business. -
Within two hours after that a
business man came into my Office
from New York City and placed
an order for twenty-thousand 16-
page catalogues. t2u,U0U-eount EN-
AND HE TOLD ME- THAT HE AID
MIRED MY SPUNK FOR PUB
LISTING THE TRUTH ABOUT

And that is all ! have done-and
intend to continue to do! The items
that appear in this paper week
after week are merely the facts
CLEANED from other publications.
Why should people oppose the
publication of the truth? Is il
moral cowardice? Is it because the
truth proves prohibition fail
ure?
Why cover up a filthy, running
sore, and then claim it is cured?

PLEASE DON'T ARGUE WITH US


The other day an estimable gentle
man called me on the phone about
getting small order of printing.
When the price was quoted to him,
he complained that it was too much.
This gentleman, like hundreds Of
others, evidently did not realize that
the cost of setting up the type for
job is just rs great for printing
100 copies as it is for printing 1000
copies. After the initial cost of the
composition is figured the cost of
printing from the type is proper
tionately decreased with the greater
number of impressions made
But this gentleman argued several
minutes to get the price cut. This
| could not do because our prices
are figured out on the actual basis
of time and material. And we don't
like to do sloppy work-we charge
a fair price and do the work right.
We very often do Jobs absolutely
free of charge where a worthy, non
profit-making object is being served.
But we bill it for the actual price
and mark it 'Paid with our compli-
meuts."
If this gentleman had appealed to
me for help, instead of arguing to
get me to cut the price, would
have gladly contributed the little
job of printing Because | learned
that the printing was for public
benefit.
Please remember this in asking
us for prices on printing:-the
smaller the amount of copies, the
proportionately larger the amount
of cost. Don't argue with us and
try to make it appear that you
know more about printing than we

THE ANSWER


There is a fly in the ointment of
those who make sweeping claims
for the airplane as the consummate
offensive weapon. Over in northern
Africa, French troops are fighting
more losing than winning battle
with the half-wild Riff tribesmen.
France has an air force which is adj
mittedly the greatest in the world
and the model on which our aerial
propagandists would have us design
our national military establishment.
Why do not the French send over
a few airplanes and wipe the Riffs
off the map?
The answer is likely that the man
with bayonetted rifle is still the
winner of battles.-Fort Worth Star
