This is funny weather here this

Historical Parade
Urged for Legion
At '3S Convention

California'S history will be told in
the American Legion parade at the
national convention in Los Angeles
next year if suggestions of Imperi-
al Valley LegionnaireS are followed.
The original idea for the histori-
cal parade is credited to DR.. o. H.
Van Eman of FL Centre. who de-
clared a new type of Legion parade
will heighten the interest of mem
bers of the organization through
out the nation and swell the at
tendance of Legionnaires of the
state. The history of each section
of the state would be told by parade
entries replete with costumed ex-
service 91en.
Imperial Valley Legionnaires will
place the idea before the executive
committee of the state department
at a session in San Francisco Sun

social service officials Thursday.
The Legionnaires point to the
fact that the work of service off,
Ger is done by the INDECENT COM
missioner at no additional salary
but results in considerable saving
OF Imperial county funds. They
contend the position should be
given to a veteran who understands
the requirements and regulations
governing the handling of veter-
ans affairs.
They cite from Nice's annual
report for 1896: arranged govern
mental disqualification for 81 vet
Grams which resulted in a saving
OF several thousand dollars to tax
payers as approximately 80 per
cent OF the number would have
been county cases requiring care
in the county hospital.
The problem of the stranded
transient veteran has been serious
because there are no county funds
available for their relief. The vet
eIans service officer obtained help
from the Red Cross, the Salvation
Army, and individuals so that tenn
porary assistance was given all
deserving ones. An aged Indian
veteran of the Indian wars was
obtained $50 pension a month and
thus was prevented from becoming
charge on the county.
During the year 1896, according
to the official report by Nice. a
total of 1,l2l interviews were
granted veterans in the office and
206 in the field, 81 cases were re-
viewed, 18 cases were taken 10
rating boards in Los Angeles, four
guardianships arranged, l6 burial
claims completed. seven World war
widow and orphan cases handled.

sion cases arranged, two Civfl war

Atlanta, Aug. 10 (C)-Governor
Rivers, incensed because other

This Week in
Thought and Religion
By Robert L. Moody
Religion In National Life


The coming lesson in church
school deals with the above subject
A great lesson is to be learned and
applies to our present day religious
life.
Ancient Israel was to bring "an
offering: of every mar that giveth
it willingly with his heart" Elk.
25:2. judging from the approval
and direction received from the
Lord by Israel as they built the
"tabernacles," places of worship
is due to our failure to give will
ingly."
Our places of worship are lonely
for the presence of the greatest
number of our pople because they
fail to obey the charge to mot for
sake the assembling of Ourselves
together. al the manner of some
but exhorting one another; and
some much more, as ye see the
Gay approaching" Heb. 1925.
Many are failing to worship be-
cause of the evils and hypocricy of
Others, but this is no excuse, be-
cause the Bible is our guide to
Cody living-not men. We are to
follow them as they follow Christ.
The end of our religious efforts
are not /. e. should not be-to
build earthly tabernacles," but the
hour cometh and now is, when the
true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth: for
the Father seeketh such to worship
Him.
Much contention exists IN Oma-
ha, about social reform, relative TO
taverns, gambling places and lewd
houses. If every person who claim
ed to be a Christian in Omaha
would tbe" as he processes and
stops supporting these worldly
places many of them would close
automatically, because Of the lack
of trade. Pure religion and undefil-
ed does not consist of social talks
about reforms, but Excepting ones
self unspotted from the world. Re-
ligion will never have its proper
place in the ife lof a nation until
it finds it's proper place n the life
of each individual and community
of that nation.
