-i en can Leqffon ^Corne Lookie! Watch it! There it goes! Exclamations like these will soon be heard all over the U. S/A. For State Adjutant Baca of The American Legion of New Mexico, has promised to send a genuine Mexican jumping bean to every American ^giri who will write him expressing willingness to correspond with one of the five thous and disabled veterans in New Mexico Minnesota girls should address Ad jutant Baca at Sante Fe, N. M. Every bean has been trained to jump through a loop or stand unhitched. ^. "Coming events cast their shadow before," is an old saying. Where isthe pessimist who said the Gctpher State wouldn't go over the top ahead cf all other Legion Departments in collecting and sending, to National Headquarters the dues of all its members for 1922? Cheer up, buddy, the coming year is going to see the enrollment of more Minnesota Legionaires than ever, be fore. On December 1,1921, state and national headquarters were being swamped with the dues- of thousands of Legionaires from all over the nation. National Legion dues, fixed by the national convention, are $1.00. State dues, fixed by the Minnesota state con vention, are $-1.00. Bach Legion Post collects, in addition^ an amount suf ficient to defray local expenses, which vary according to the amount of wel fare work necessary, club facilities, etc. Total diiea are usually $3.00 per year, which includes 52 issues of The American Legion Weekly, which alone is wcrth the assessment collected. When a member fails to pay his annual dues by the first of each year, he ceases to be a bonaflde member. He may still boost for the Legion, but his sup port, to be, effective, must be backed up by prompt payment of yearly dues. President Harding last week signed the following amendment to. the law relative to taxation: "Alter January lst,1922, no taxes shall be levied oh admissions, all the proceeds of which inure exclusively to the benefit of any post of the American Legion or theportunity. Legion Auxiliary Units, thereof, if no part of the net earnings thereof inures to the benefit of any private stock holder or individual." This amend ment was secured through efforts of the Legion National Legislative Com mittee at the. request of thousands of Legion Posts throughout the nation. It refers to the so-called "amusement admission tax." Down at Kansas City, Qopher dele gates from Edward Cutter Post No. 102 bore aloft a sign reading: "We are the boys from Anoka, Minnesota, the dry town on the Rum river." Legion aires from Ralph Grade Post carried this sign: "We're from Bemidji, Minne sota—First City on the Mississippi." Writes now L. A. La Plant of Anoka: "The boys here have instructed me to secure prices on canoes. Fifteen buddies are already planning a canoe trip down the Mississippi to attend the Fourth National Legion Convention at New Orleans in 1922. We'll be there strong, even if we have to swim." Some of the Legion Posts in North ern Minnesota cover a wide territory. Recently, when they learned that a Legion buddy lay sick and alone, mem bers cf Biwabik Post No. 160 made an 18-mile trip out into the country to visit him. Several hours were pleas antly spent, discussing war service and Legion affairs with the sick comrade, who was pleased as punch to have his buddies around him again. Who says the sun ever sets on the American Legion? At the Kansas City Legion. National Convention there were. Legion delegates seated ,from Alaska, Africa, Chile, Great Britain, Canada, Panama, China, Cuba, France, Guatemala, Hawaii, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Porto Rico, Palestine, Turkey, as well as from every state in the Union and the Philippine Islands. The sun is always shining on. buddies whose slogan is "Let's Stick To gether.''. Two weeks after the American Le gion -National Convention in^Kansaa. City, the paid-up Legion membership had been increased by 2,'fr00—^just double what it was the day.the convene-, vention. started. What did it? The pep and patriotism of 100,000 visiting Legionaires from,ali.over the world. "Minnesota's delegation, to ,the Legion Auxiliary National Convention in Kansas-City was a joy to the- heart of the delegation chairman and a credit to the Gopher State,"!sayfe Mrs. Sandy Hamilton, Minnesota State President- "Womanly, honorable in their actions, and united in their en deavors,,they made5 friends and showed a fine appreciation of their position as the wives, sisters, mothers and daugh ters of the men of Minnesota into whose hands our Nation committed its safe ty in its hour of need." -r «, ,^ "A Prairie Rose," the four-act comedy-drama of the Kansas, plains, staged by members of Osakis Post No. I played to capacity houses and was such an unparalled success .that Osakis Legionaires have decided to stage it anywhere in Minnesota on request.

A man ought to. live each day in such a wellrbalanced healthful way, he contended, that his. vitality would not .become fio exhausted as to demand & respite^ It ,is work, hot vacationing,, that makes U|p endurable. But work with tired bodies and unin spired souls is hot endurable. More over, this puts one in such- a fagged state that a two. week's vacation can bring neither pleasure nor- good- phy sical results. Both work and play in this case are unendurable.^ The only man who really enjoys an outing, then, is the man- who does not need one. There is a practical message in this thought.. Many of us are forced to fill our days with concentrated indoor work. As the weeks drag along toward summer and our bodies' bdcome wearier and wearier, we comfort our selves with the words: "Oh, well, pretty soon we'll build ourselves up again. We forget that the poor body which has had 50 weeks of hectic living cannot be.built up in two weeks. The body needs 52 weeks of sensible living, and then it will be„ready for work or for play. ti Practically^ everybody nowadays is a worker, a dMy:bread-earner.'* PWa^ are ho 'longer in vogue.:- Every one has a vocation, a business or calling to. which he devotes the greater part of his florae and interest. What ever the "occupation, good health habits are necessary to bring about the best results.' It is true, to be-sure, that in certain occupations, men need to watch their health conditions more carefully than in others.
