American Legion of Wiscon-
sin Leads the Nation With
Thirty Per Cent of Total
Members.

Milwaukee Leading the nation
with 80 per cent of the 1924 mem
bership already paid in to Depart
ment Headquarters here, the Am
nerican Legion of Wisconsin has
set new record unequalled in the
history of the organization. With
5000 paid up members on January
1st, officials of the Legion are con-
fidently predicting that the state
membership will reach close to 49,
600 before the next state conven-
ton to be held at Stevens Point
in August. The total membership
for 1924 was 26,318.
The new record is remarkable,
declares Austin A. Peterson, State
Adjutant of the Legion, Milwau-
kee, because fees for 1925 are not
due until January 1st. The cards
now in the state office are of new
members or Of old members who
want to prepay their dues.
1hrCy-one PoStS IN the Depart
ment have sent in memberships
equal to or greater than the num-
Der for 1924.
A Milwaukee Post, the Alonzo
Cudworth Post No. %, leads the
state in the number of cards sent
in with 452. Appleton runs close
second with 1852 memberships.
Records for previous years show
that an average of 1000 members
have been paid up on January 1st.
The receipt this year of 5000 or
more than 80 per cent of the total
membership for 1924 is a record
unequalled in the National Organ
ization.

As sit down to read the village
sheet and get the news,
And thru it's trenchout columns
meet with other folks and get
their views.
This one recurring thot has often
been my quest: %' e.
Why don't they print the dope
Sheet" first and then the rest ?
For people will be ever human as
you know, .-..
And like to read substantial stuff
and stuff for show.
So let us meet this long-felt need,
and slacken thirst,
And fix the paper so the folks
can read "The Dope Sheet" first.
If, as Vern Price says of the folks
"They like the bunk, -.
"And get kick from nearly all
the jokes tho they be junk"
Then let the people have just what
they want with lots of jazz.
And put the "Dope Sheet" at the
front with all it has!
For where we buy our beans and
lard, we would expedite
These prices tho SO cold and hard,
we'd have in plainest sight.
So to our friends in charge we plea
ere worse be worst,
Let Price & Lincoln's "Dope Sheet"
be not last but first.

Number As
MORE COW!

We have another cow with a
longer tail.
Guaranteed never to fill the
milk pail.
This little cows a jersey too,
Not much good but she NAV
suit you.
She's nice and gentle, not a
bit high strung.
And you can be sure she is
not too young.
Nice short teats, couldn't be
shorter.
When it comes to eating this
cow is a Rip Shorter.
Her hair is a little rough and
she is pretty thin, but she's
a nightly good critter for
the shape she's in.
She'll do better the more feed
you give 'er.
And we'd like to swap her for
your old flivver.
