STATE LEGION HEAD
RETURNS FROM VISITS

w. v. DeCamp of Jerome, state
commander of the American Legion,
has just completed a tour of officials
to all Legion posts throughout the
southern portion of the state, begin
ming at Yuma where the posts Of
Yuma, Wellton and Somerton held a
joint meeting, followed by visits 10
Casa Grande, Tucson, Nogales, Bisbee,
Douglas, Wilcox, Benson, Hayden,
Ray and Florence.
Commander DeCamp reports every
post he visited enthusiastic in pro-
grams for community service during
the coming year, and every meeting
was largely attended not only by Leg
ionnaires but by prominent citizens.
He says there is a wonderful spirit
among the members, which augurs
well for banner year for the or
ganization in Arizona, while other
citizens throughout the state are be-
coming more familiar with the aims
of the Legion and are supporting and
cooperating with it whole -heartedly
in its various activities looking to the
welfare of disabled veterans Of the
World war and service to communi-
ties, the state and the nation.
The Arizona Legion's membership
in 1926 is over 70 per cent greater
than in 1925, and more than 500
greater than any other year since
its organization; this is reflected in
the greater service rendered to vet
erans and the public. The member
ship mark set for 1927 is considerably
above that of 1926, and present indi-
cations point to attainment of the
goal
The total national membership Of
the Legion in 1926 to date is about
100000, which is larger than in any
year since 1920, and bids fair to be
close to one million in 1927.

COAL L0ADINGS OF B. & O.

B.tuminous Traffic Shows Big

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE. September 24.-Car
loadings of soft coal on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad during the first
eight months of this year have in
creased 16.9 per cent, compared with
gain of Sc per cent in loadings OF
all commodities, including those re-
ceived from connections. Cars loaded
with coke increased 43 per cent.
AS soft coal traffic represents a
third of all of the car loadings origi-
mating on the Baltimore and Ohio
lines, the gain in this item has had
an important bearing on the improve
ment in total freight traffic handled.
Even a larger percentage increase
in loadings of grain and grain prod
-.cts Is reported. Although grain load
ings were 1872 per cent ahead of the
comparative period last year. this
class of traffic represents only little
more than 2 per cent of all freight
originating on the lines and is, there
fore, of less importance.
