:t NEWS NOTES OF
1J-" AMERICANLEGION
h. Establishment of a radio department
for receiving wireless news and keep
ing in touch with American Legion
posts throughout Louisiana is an
nounced in a recent issue of the Peli
r- canaire, the official newspaper of the
Louisiana department of the Legion.
Through co-operation with amateurs
- in towns in which there are legion
a newspaper and the local posts. Ar
s, rangements have already ,been made
e for this service from Shreveport, Ope.
Af lousas and Franklin to New Orleans
where the Pelicanaire is published.
By the use of the radio service, the
13 press sheets of news from tall over the
16 world sent out daily from the Arling
ton station will be received by the le
9- gion organ. This service is conduct
g ed by the United States navy for its
1) battleships and stations.
Three hundred volumes covering
the field of American activities in the
World War, have been received
through the medium of the American
legion weekly as a start of a com
plete legion war library, which will be
d established - in a room at national
headquarters. The collection of books
includes volumes dealing with the his
h tory of units from companies to divi
sions. It contains the products "of
hand presses in French and German
print shops as well as more ambitious
r output o fleading New York publish
n ers.
f Declaring that the "desultory, if not
e dilatory policy of the administration"
o in seeking out substantially 150,000
e deserters from the military and naval
t services and slackers during the war
t' has been the subject of much adverse
n criticism, particularly on the part of
the American Legion, Senato: Moses,
of New Hampshire, has offered an
-amendment to the house joint resolu
tion which he believes will expedite
the punishment of the "undestrables."
The amendment provides that the re
peal of war legislation embodied in
the house resolution "shad not be
construed as effective to terminate
" the military status of any person now
in desertion from the military or na
p val service of the United States, nor to
terminate the liability to prosecution
"( and punishment under the selective
service law of any person who failed
to comply with the provisions of
said act."
The American legion will enter
1921 with practically 10,000 posts, ac
cording to the estimates based on the
latest figures. During the week end
ing December 10 fifteen new posts
were added, which brought the total
to 9,930. Arkansas led with three
posts. The Woman's auxiliary in the
same period obtained twenty-seven
new units, raising its list to 1,586.
Four new units gained by the New
York department, placed that depart
ment in the lead for the week. Fore
ign posts added recently are at Chu
quicamata, Chile, and Guatemala City,
Guatemala.
" Although the victim of a murder IJn
Jacksonville, Mo., was a former sera
ice man, members of the American le
gion post at Moberly, Mo., a town
nearby, were cool-headed enough to
quiet a mob of enraged citizens, which
threatened to resort to mob violence.
The legionnaires wele successful in
persuading the angry crowd to per
mit the man accused of the murder
to be placed safely in jail to await
trail.
Following the action of the United
Service post of the American Legion
in Bronx County, N. Y., which sent
representatives to Washington to
fight the passage of the proposed
"blue laws" by congress, other posts
in all five boroughs of New York
have put themselves on record against
the proposed legislation. In New Jer
sey, Hubert Rocke post, of Teaneck,
expressed a similar sentiment.
The Turin Verein hall at San An
gelo Texas, lost its unpleasant nami
when it was leased recently by men
bers o fthe local post of the America
Legion and remodelled into a moderi
opera house a t acost of $5,000. Thy
first attraction, a local talent minstre
show, earned $1,539. High class show,
will be booked for the theatre by thb
post.
American Legion legislation ha,
been drawn up in several departments
for presentation to legislature. Ii
Iowa the Legion legislative commit
tee will put forward a bill to punisl
persons wearing the American Le
glon emblem without authority. Oth
er-Iowa bills included provide a state
bonus of $15 a month during service
and legalized boxing contests. Th(
Arkansas legislative committee has
bilh for converting the cld state capi
tol building into a memorial. The In
diana department will press legislatioi
permitting veterans to have their hon
orable discharges recoreded by count3
officials free of charge. A measuxr
will be introduced into the Minnesota
legislature making Armistice Day .
state holiday.
Miss Ray C. Sawyer, of New Yorl
SCOity, has been appointed chairwomar
of the state auxiliaries committee b.
Charles G. Blakeslee, commander o1
the New York department of the
American Legion. The committee will
be in charge of the organization ol
new units of the Woman's auxiliary ol
the Legion until the state caucus
which will be held early in the spring.
State legislation whichec will offer
the alternative of a $2,000 farm ox
home loan or cash compensation at the
rate of $15 a month of service for ve.
erans o fthe world war, will be pressed
by the Oregon department of the Amer
ican Legion. It was so decided at a
recent meeting of the state executive
committee of the Legion. The Legion
naires also vited to sponsor in the
legislature a bill similar to the Jap
anese law of California ,aimed to prev
ent land holdings by orientals in the
state when it was pointed out that the
adoption of the California law caused
an influx of Japanese into Oregon.
A national poll of the members of
,the American Legion may be ordered
by national headquarters in the near
future to determine which plan mem
hers will choose in the event that the
Legion four-fold bonus bill id passed
by the senate. The senate finance
committee reported to the national
'legislative committee in Washington
that this step might be necessary to
ascertain an estimate of the imme
diate expenditure which the bill's pas
sage would call for.
Charging that army overcoats are
being solicited from former service
men for disabled veterans because the
government has failed to clothes them
adequately, Miles D. King, a member
of the West End post of the American
Legion in New York City, has written
a letter of prtoest to Secrtary of War
Baker. The writer states that "sur
plus army clothing is being sold right
and left at what is supposed to be sac
rifice prices, and I am therefore un
able to understand why these convale
scent soldiers cannot be furnished with
sufficient clothing."
The appeal -to former service men
to give up their overcoats according
to the letter, was made from the Amer
ican Red Cross, thror -h a Legion mem
ber at a meeting of the New York
post.
In an effort to alleviate the national
shortage of employment, American Le
gion posts in many parts of the coun
ry have established employment bu
reaus for local former service men
wvhere industrial establishments and
business houses of the community list
heir "help wanted." These post bu
reaus are operated free of charge and
eligible to any veterans applicant, re
gardless of Legion membership.
A recent report that the internation
al Molders' union had advised all its
members that if they became affiliated
vith the American Legion their union
cards would be forfeited has been de
clared a fasehood in a letter from an
officer of the union to Samuel Gomp
era, president of the American Federa
tion of Labor. The letter states that
"we do not wish to mar the wonder
ful record our members made during
the war by prohibiting them from
Joining such a patriotic body as the
American Legion."
By way of showing their gratitude
to the newspapers of the state for their
loyal support during the year of 1920,
the Minnesota department of the
American Legion has sent each news
paper a letter of thanks. Each letter
bore the signature of A. H. Vernon,
departmenet commander..
Book'eeping for American Legion
posts has been e4mpllfied by a com
plete post accounting set which has
been prepared by a special commit
tee and now is ready for delivery. The
emblem division of national headquar
ters is filling orders for them.

said t obe 110 miles. There are thirty
five members of the post, which rep

Wholesale swindling of veterans
and gold star relatives by unscrupu
lous lawyers who demand exorbitant
fees for obtaining compensation in
cases of injury or death is being in
vestigated by the Massachusetts ce
partment of the American Legion. The
widow of one msn is said to have
paid a lawyer's fee of ten per cent cf
a $10,000 due to her through the dealth
of her husband overseas. The war

Worth Considering
The question is not so much how
you contract a cold ,but how to get
rid of it with the least loss of time
and incenvenienace. If you will con
sider the experience of others under
similar circumstances ,who have been
most successful in checking their
colds, iu their beginning, you will se
cure a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy without delay, and use it
faithfully. There are many families
wh ohvae used this preparation suao
cesemfully for years and hold it in
high esteem. It is excellent.

MOST IMPORTANT PRICE
REDUCTION
Of all price reauctions made in recent
ntnths, there is none of such import
ance as the substantial decline in
lumber.
With the presen tneed of homes and
buildings this spells a great saving
to builders. Than too, the actual dol
lar saving on the material for a new
hoine would amount to mqre than all
the savings on other purchases for the
average family for a year or more.
If you could realize how long the pres

the cost of production you would not
