rooms Monday evening in regular ses-
sion.s The business meeting was cut
short and the evening was given to
Kar Polo in which practically the en-
tire membership present participated
and thoroughly enjoyed.
During the business meeting sew
eral sepmmittee reports were listened
to with much interest as they had di-
rect bearing on the activities of the
Robert James Swift Post.
Commander Krohm appointed a
visiting committee consisting of Com
rades Geo. Berggreen, and Henry
Sauer, their duties will be to visit
the home Of any ex-Servieey man
who is ill. This committee will be
relieved by the appointment of an
other at the next regular meeting of

nation of Mrs! M H. Millner who
removed from this city last week.

sible to the G. A. r. III the ar
rangements to properly observe that

boys thinking of home, and with
hearts feeling for the welfare of their
loved ones in the event of their be-
ing dumped off, eagerly signed up
for the insurance. Today there is
no war. Peace has come and with
discharge many of the veterans al
lowed their insurance to lapse, think
ing all imminent danger past. But
old age, dependency, uninsurabiJity.
and want are the silent enemies just
in the offing, more menacing by far
than the roaring cannons. The law
gives those entitled only until July
2, 1926, to re-instate their insurance.
Commander Krohm is desirious of
having all members present at this
meeting to ascertain for themselves
the opportunity still open to them.

er f the evening was spent playing
