Soldiers Welfare department Of the
State Board of Control.
In the interim before the next con-
vention and next meeting of the state
executive committee following the
convention, at which new adjutant
will be elected, O'Toole will hold the
position. The duties are not new to
the Acting Adjutant. He is the old
est member of headquarters staff in
point of service, having stepped right
out of the olive drab of the army and
into the work of assisting Harrison
Fuller, then chairman of the temper
airy state organizing body in 1919, at
time when there were less than
thirty posts in the state. O'Toole be-
came Fuller's secretary and in August
1919, when the first state convention
was held in St. Paul and the Mime
sofa department formally organized,
became assistant to Horace G. Whit
more, who was elected first state adj
jutant.
In the days before the American
Legionaire was the official paper of
the Minnesota Legionaires, Phil han
died all publicity in addition to his
other work He watched the swelling
of the Legion membership in Mime
sofa from a scant 5000 to it's present
position with a yearly average of
close to 10000. Most of the routine
correspondence Of the department
was carried on by O'Toole. Post Com
manders and Adjutants have known
him for years as the man who puts
out the official headquarters bulletins.
This feature of his work has given
him wide personal acquaintance
throughout Minnesota.

"By the way, Roy is a captain in

their youngsters to read and they

Carol personally, dressed in her

However, Gopher Prairie didn't

AMERICAN LEGION
Bed for Every Leeionaire

The greatest number of Pullman
sleeping cars ever gathered in any
one place at one time has been prom
ised the American Legion for the Lee
glon National convention this fall :.
The sleepers will be assembled close
in to the business district of Omaha
and in themselves will house as many
people as will the hotels of an ordin-
airy city of 100000 people.
The Pullman company has prom
lsed that when the Legion meets in
Omaha this fall, 800 Pullman cars
will be shunted out at Omaha and
turned over to the Legionaires. This
number includes those Pullmans
which will be occupied as specials"
by organizations from their home cit.
les, as well as those which will be
used purely as "hotels."
These 500 cars will be IL, Ia and
16 section each and will care for q
minimum of 25 persons each, count
ing but one to a berth.
Pullman City" which will spring
up in night, will have a population
of $4,000 in less than a day.
The men who live in the sleeping
cars while at the convention will
have just about all the conveniences
afforded those who live in the best
hotels. Each car will be provided
with telephone with city connec-
lions, the Legion special postoffice
will deliver mail direct to each car,
sanitary arrangements are complete,
free showers baths will be installed,
and there will be free automobile SER
vice for all Legionaires. These free
automobiles, $500 of them, will be
waiting at Pullman City" all the
time, day and night.
"a Bed and Every Legionaire" is
promised by the committee. Every
bed in Omaha except those actually
needed by the home owners will be
available to the visiting Legionaires.
Already every hotel and most of the
boarding houses are under signed
contract with the committee and
there will be no over-charging. Choice
of quarters is left to the American
Legion and committee of that or
ganization will supervise the housing
of the Legionaires.
Arrangements for the Omaha
convention are months ahead of ar
rangements for any previous conven-
ton at the same PERIOD Russell c.
Creviston, National Adjutant, Ameri-
can Legion, told the Omaha commit
tee last week when he visited Omaha
and checked up on the plans for the

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, July 29-With poll
ticians talking about a reorganiza-
ton of the government departments
as means of reducing taxes, people
are wondering whether they really
mean business. A Senate leader has
declared that placing the government
on scientific basis would save $780,
100000 annually. There has been so
much talk and so little action about
these changes in the Federal service
that the average citizen is bit skep-
tical. Observers say that true ecnom-
les can be worked out by giving con-
structive thought to the problem rath-
er than discuss the subject noisily
and specifically.
1t is to be noted that the talk of
reorganization of the government
comes from administrative offices
rather than the legislative branch
The prime mover in this remodeling
process has been Secretary of Conn
merce Hoover. He has, however, en-
countered many pitfalls and made lit
tie Roadway. 1t is now proposed to
place the matter definitely in, the
hands of Congress for there is linn
it on the authority of the President
to transfer one bureau to another de-
partment. That Congress must give
serious consideration to the subject
OF economies in the Federal service
is indicated in the demands of the
organized farmers for better business
methods in the Post Office Depart
ment. Testimony was presented to a
special congressional committee this
week to the effect that the Post Of

George D. Wing Tells Duluth Weekly
Advertiser Readers of Recent
Visit to Sank Centre

After returning to his home at Du-
luth following a week end visit with
old Sank Centre friends, George D.
Wing, former local editor of the
Herald, had the following to say of
his trip in his "Bill Cuff" column of
the Duluth Weekly Advertiser, of
which he is the editor:
81 just got back from Gopher
Prairie.
Maybe you remember the place
where Red Lewis said Carol wore
the pink pajamas?
CHOW don't all rush to Gophel
Prairie. Stick around here this week
and take in the Exposition of
Progress. Anyhow, Carol isn't in
Gopher Prairie any more anyhow.
Since Red broke loose with his
yarn about Carol, the DANES in the
old town heightened their skirts and
got out a warrant for any women
who bobbed her hair. The place isn't
what it used to be, believe, me, I
know. I used to live there.
"But I got lotta kick outa my
visit to Minnesota's prize hick town.
While l was there / ran across Asa
Wallace. Asa you know went to New
York about a year ago and the me-
tropolis journals are still talking
about hin1-and Main Street. Every
now and then Asa goes to Washing
ton or New York for publicity. He
can't get publicity in Gopher Prai-
RE. Things just are not lone that
way there. One can get publicity, if
you know what / mean. But not the
kind that gets front page space in
the New York World.
"We had big time in Gopher Prai-
RE last Saturday night. Just to
break the monotony I parked on the
famous drug store corner with "Doc''
Monahan and Roy Scott. Probably
you don't know these lads, but that
is because you never lived in Gopher
Prairie. But as l said, we had a
first class evening. While we stood
there two lady tourists passed. The
girls were wearing cover-alls. That
furnished conversation for the, eve
ming. We had to tie Roy to hitch
ing post though to keep him with US.
