AMER. LEGION HAS
SUCCESSFUL YEAR

The Plentywood Post n. 58 Of the
American Legion with Ralph Lmd as
the Commander is about to close q
successful year in this community.
Election of officers at which a new
commander, a new adjutant and fl
nance officer are to be chosen viii
take place December 18th.
During the year the Legion has
held a number of successful dances
and the Indoor Circus which brought
large crowds to their affairs. Next
year they expect to put on bigger and
better attractions for the boys in the
hospitals and other veterans. Andy
Malcolm W o vs. S adjutant and fl
nance officer left the town a short
while ago, and is being substituted
by Leland Kitzenberg who states that
the Paris convention in 1927 is prov
ing of great interest to the forty
six members in Plentywood, and the
auxiliary members. Over four of the
PlentywOOdites have signed up al
ready. If any others wish to 90, they
must notify the state office at Helena
before the last of May. In order 70
take advantage of the special rates
the Legion is offering for this con-
ventiOn, the war veteran must have
been a paid up member both in 1926
and 1927.
The auxiliary should not be forgot
ten when speaking o f the lie G o n.
Among the many good things they DO
is to send little presents to the sol
diers at the hospitals each Christmas
Friday, the third, the Legion is to
hold another of their good dances at
the Farmer-Labor Temple with the
Williston Hot-en-tOts playing. A week
from then on Dec. 10th, a boxing
match at the FL. Temple viii
win be given at which the Winn or
chestra Of Poplar viii play.

the labor of the convicts was sold Tor
ten cents on the dollar of its real
value. The products of these prison
factories were sold I'm the open mar
ket i'm direct competition with the pro-
ducts Of legitimate manufacturers
and free workers, and the unjust and
tax-subsidized competition was play
ing havoc with the industry.
The bosses and the workers were
both suffering; so they decided to
ioin forces in trying to find some So
luton for the common problem. A
Joint Committee on Prison Labor was
formed. made up Of the members OF
the Union Made Garment Manufac-
turers' Association and the United
Garment Workers of America. In
looking about for trained help to as
sist on the job, the Committees at

College, Mena, Arkansas.
This college is a unique institution
of higher learning, which feels that
its excuse for existing lies in making
available the services of technically
trained people and in advancing mod
ern science in the labor movement Of
the country.
Commonwealth Students Attack
Problems
About the time that the garment
manufacturers and the garment work
ers' union had decided that if they
did not hang together they would
hang separately, some of the people
at Commonwealth College decided
that the prison labor problem was
one that needed the attention of tech
nically trained people. The writer
who is a member of the faculty, took
a group of three students from the
sociology, economics, and literature
classes, loaded them into an auto OF
ancient vintage, and the group start
ed out to devote the summer of 1921
to the first-hand study of prison la

FROM LIFE

Why should we sit these hearts Of
ours above
The rest, and scramp them in posses
sion's clutch?
Poor things we gasp and strain to
capture love,
And in our hands it powders at our
touch.
We turn the fragrant pages of the
past;
Mournful with scent of PASSIONS fad
ed flowers,
On every one we read, Love Cannot
Last"
So how could ours?
It is the quest that thrills, and not
he gain.
The mad pursuit, and not the con
quering;
Love caught is but a drop of April
rain,
But bloom upon the moths translu-

Why should you dare to hope that

Well, am game.
