thousands of our soldiers, sailors

'"The American Legion is sacred
ly pledged in its creed to oppose
every form of autocracy. If a COM

be depended upon to offer deter

"The American Legion, serving

that it is part Of it's duty to help
make sure for Americans the en-

and the pursuit of happiness. In
these purposes, upon its part, we

ADVERTISING.

DRESCOTT people know how to
u advertise, for in the years they
have spent in selling Prescott to
the world they have developed
some very effective technique 10
the art of publicity. P. T. Barnum,
in his most vociferous days, had
nothing on them.
They have finally put their lille
gitimate burlesque "Smoki'' Indian
dance out to the world to such
lengths that the world generally
believes there is such a tribe OF
Smokis, and that the ceremony, in
stead of being the silly batch of
trash it is, is a solemn prayer such
as is put on by the Indians on
the reservations near Gallup, or
the Hopis in the pueblos north Of
Winslow.
The Smoki dance has been 50
much written about that edltOrlal
paragrphers on eastern papers
have begun to use it to illustrate
epigrams, the following one hay
ing been sent to The Mail this
week:
"Smoki tribe of Indians have
their snake dance, but it prob
ably is not so dangerous to To-
cal property as when the coll
lege boys have them"
The pinnacle of success has been
reached when a publicity story can
be gotten across so effectively
that the paragrphers use it, for
the presumption is that everyone
is so familiar with the allusion
that the meaning of the jibe is ap-
parent at a glance.

Call Of the Desert
By D. T. BUSHBY,
Flagstaff, Arizona
(Written for The Mail.)

Stretching out with greedy hands,
Mile upon mile and more;
Lifting here like an ocean wave,
Falling there, but always on
Even to the sky.
A player with life and death,
Beckoning always with mystery,
A mystery that remains ever hers.
Yet becomes always stranger
AS time passes by.
Whitened bones of animals and men
Give silent warning of her strength.
Seeing them, we stop and shudder i;
Then, fearing We know not what,
Hastily pass on, deeper.
Beautiful smoke-like cities
And wonderful lakes and rivers,
Dancing crafty out of sight,
Tantalize US with their reaIness,
Then leave us blind
The fiery sun finds brother
In the shifting, burning sands;
Painting lizards scurry, and rattlers
Hum in agOnies of torture
And death for us.
When we are through it at last
We trenble without reason.
Yet, already it calls us back
Wavering, we answer, and tOmor-
row
Others will see-our bones.

UNION CARD AND LEGION CARD

OK years ago, in the cradle days
~ of the American Legion, there
was both unrest and confusion
while uniforms were going out of
fashion and overalls were coming
back. Employers and employed
alike were harassed by uncertainty
as wage standards hung in the
balance and business conditions
seemed heading toward a slump.
Tt was a time of national touchi-
ness. a chip-on-thesh period,
with hair-trigger nerves producing
explosions.
1t was inevitable that the Legion,
growing in this period, should find
itself regarded doubtfully by each
of the two groups most. vitally in
terested in the changes which were
taking place in industry. One
group, seeing bolshevistic ghosts
in every shadow, feared that the
returning soldiers and sailors, con-
scious of the sacrifices they had
made and confronted with the
harsh realities of a society whicn
had grown different while they
were away in uniform, would join
the ranks of discomfort. The other
group feared that industry would
try to line up the service men as a
Praetorian guard for capital.
Happily, the American Legion
unerringly chose the only ground
on which it could stand between
conflicting groups. 1t early adopt
ed policy Of absolute neutrality
in all disputes between capital and
labor, and this policy has been
preserved. True, in 1919 several
posts did violate that policy, but
their action drew swift rebuke
from the organization as a whole,
and served to make clear the true
principles on which the Legion
stood. The exceptions proved the
rule.
So well is the Legion's policy
now understood that the double
distrust of the early days has dis
appeared. National Commander
James A. Drain recently comment
ed on the friendship existing be-
tween the Legion and the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. In let
ter to George L. Berry, president
of the International Printing Press
mems Union and past national
vice commander of the Legion,
Commander Drain said:
'You will recall that at the direct
request and invitation of the late
Samuel Gompers / attended the
last annual convention OF the
American Federation of Labor IN
Ell Paso in November, 1924, and
there spoke to the delegates. MY
address had nothing of a special
labor aspect; it was just the
straight American Legion doctrine
which 1 preach everywhere: Serv-
ice through the American Legion
to God and country in peace as we
strove to serve God and country in
the military establishment in war.
No audience I have spoken to
showed greater appreciation than
that at Ell PasO.
There is every reason why the
American Federation of Labor and
the American Legion should be
upon good terms with each other
