My Dear Commander Mahan:---
4 The annual Forget-Me-Not observ-
ance of the Disabled American VET
erans Is particularly deserving OF the
most sympathetic attitude on the part
J of the public. The government is en-
! deavoring in avery possible way to
/ alleviate the sufferings of those for
: whom the war still endures. Yet there
/ are certain phases Of this great prob
] lem In which outside agencies may
, be Of vital assistance. The Disabled
+ American Veterans has proved one Of
s the efncanious auxiliaries In this task
2 It's cooperation with the Veterans Blu
Q reau on administrative problems, and
with congress on legislative matters
Q has been impressively helpful, as has
: the organizations direct contact with
individual veterans in bringing about
!, the prompt adjudication Of claims

So mighty the stretch of your mountains,
Sov~st your great sweeping plateau,
So Wide aSe your deep scented valleys
And tsndIess your rivers that flow,
That ~ peaks Of the continents skyline
Mak6 love to the west winds that blow
And twtne with the warmth of the springtime,
While your eastland lies buried in snow.
| have watched you brood silent in winter
While the northern lights CLEANED in the sky;
! have you lash wild in your fury.
With your mantel Of white piled on high;
Forgetting the love of the ages
That slumbered beyond the divide,
Where waters rush unmolested
BY ice-foes, thru lands wonderous wide.
have seen you relent of your madness,
And smile in your quiet repose,
As the frost king gives way to the songbird
And the Bitter Root flirts with the Rose
I have watched while they harnessed your rivers,
And tunneled your mountains for gold
While cattle roam free your ranges
glory your borders still hold
In the eastland your landscape is dotted
BY homesteads in wide open plains;
In the westland your valleys cluttered
With vineyards. and forests that reign
In the proud, naughty sweep Of your beauty,
In the hush of the moonlight that CLEANS,
In land of perpetual mildness,
In the music of fast rushing streams.
But you still hold charm in your keeping;
Its wonders no mortal tell;
It's your solitude land, yet unpeopled;
II has gripped my heart deep in Its spell.
| have roamed thru its wonderful silence,
Where human feet rarely have trod-
To me it's the heart of Montana;
To me it's the workshop ofAGod.

interesting address, was introduced
by Commander r. M. Porter of the
American Legion. Mr.. John Power
Who saw considerable service In

Mr.. Merriman and Mr.. Porter.
| Mr. Merriman spoke Of the tendency
OF . great many persons to shrink
from reviewing the horrors OF ths

opinion that the suffering and ter

be forgotten; that we should not for

was fought, - set out in Presiden
