MEETING OF CAR
BON POST OF THE
AMERICAN LEGION
Carbon Post of the American Leg
ion No. 17 at their regular meeting
at the R. L. M. Club rooms Tuesday
evening discussed the Legion's plans
for Memorial Day observance. The
local post has made arrangements
with Quincy Scott, State Commander
of the American Legion to be in Red
Lodge at that time to participate in
the dedication of the stained glass
window, to b dedicated in memory of
the Carbon County Boys who "went
west" during the world war.
Letters were read at the meeting
from ex-service men from this city
who are, patients in the Fort Harrison
Hospital a tHelena and letters were
also read from the Montana delega
tion in congress relative to the com
pensation measures.
The local post has adopted the offi
cial Legion caps for official wear in
place of the uniform. This was
brought about through the fact that
the Legion is not a military organi
zation, but a civil brotherhood of ex
service men, pledged to active ser
vice for their community and coun
try, and therefore the caps, désignât
ing "American Legion" will be worn
at all parades and on all occasions in
place of the üniform.
Eighty-fivç flags have been sold
here and when placed will give the
business streets of Red Lodge a truly
decorative effect and will show prop
er respect for the flag according to
flag ettiquet.

The Chronicle believes that it has
found a channel through which it can

and in order to prove our contention
in this respect we are going to offer
our readers a special proposition in
[order that they may avail themselves
of this service and learn its value.
Almost every house-holder, in fact
practically everyone has in their pos
session some article whieh,they would
gladly dispose of if it could be done
cheaply. Stored away in the attic,
basement or shed is an old trunk,
baby cab, child's sled or some other
item that while still of value is worth
nohtjng to its owner. Somewhere in
the territory covered by the Chron
icle, someone would like to buy this
item, if they but knew where it could
be purchased cheaply. And the Chron
icle seeks to serve as the medium
wherein these two parties can be
brought to-gether and the sale com
pleted through use of the classified
columns in this newspaper.
