quota larger in proportion than
nearly every state, were the second

bersh;p drive now being conducted
in all states by the American Lee
gion, according to a message of
congratulation received Saturday by
w. J.. Wehrli of Casper, commander
of the Wyoming Legion, from ma
tional headquarters of the veterans
organization.
This is particularly significant
because this occurred five months in
advance of the recommended sche-
dule." says the message. please
convey u congratulations to all
department and post officials, and
to all individual members who have
contributed toward this success"
The only department that finish
ed ahead of Wyoming this year
was Florida, where a great influx
of new residents and eligibles made
possible an early contamination of
the campaign.
The quota assigned to Wyoming
by national headquarters was o.
799. which was the states men,
bership in 1922, and the highest
official membership Wyoming has
had in any yea heretofore. Last
Years membership was 2,761.
we nov have $500 MEMBERS"
said Commander Wehrli in a state
ment. issued Saturday, which is
100 more than the quota assigned
by national headquarters. Our goal
this ear is a membership of 1000
in Wyoming, and 1 am urging all
post officials and members to en-
roll every eligible ex-service man
within their jurisdiction"
In the membership ace for the
Lindsey trophy. Wyoming won 5th
place. owing to the failure of 2S9
membership cards to reach national

commend the gracious cooperation
which we have received from Chief
Arthur Fields of your State Patrol,
and his men. in tracing stolen auto
mobiles in your State.
THE willing and faithful support
which this branch of your Depart
ment has so generously given GER
| tainly in our estimation cannot be
other than a reflection upon your
efforts to promote an efficient force,
| and one of which the citizens OF
your State should be justly proud.
In our field work, we come in con-
| tact with many law enforcement
| units, but L wish to state that we
| have never received more hearty
sincere and generous assistance than
i has been accorded us by Chief Field
| and his men, and it is a pleasure in
| deed to indite a word Of hearty
/ praise for your efforts in making and
keeping this Department what it Is

| that your State Police is not SO en-
larged in personnel that its splendid
/ influence might be more greatly felt
