TWO INSPIRING ADDRESSES Musical Program of the Evening Also One of the Highest Excel lence and Pleases Audience. ronj Ttaur.r'a Dtur Last evening for the second time in the existence of the local post of the Aemrican Legion, the members of this organization of service men met and broke bread at the post I banquet. This occasion was one that I was fully as pleasant as that of the j past in a social way, and left even greater thought with the members jantl those outside of the organization I that were present, of the maturing j American Legion that has been doing ; things in the nation for the service man, disabled or well, members of the organization or one who was not aSliated. The members of the American Legion Auxiliary were responsible in a large part for the great success of the occasion by the splendid manner in which they prepared and served the feast, offering in their delightful manner a menu that would temp the most exacting. The ladies also arranged the tables and the hall in a patriotic color scheme in which the red, white and blue was the prevailing note, the national colors and the American Legion standard also being used in the decorations of the hall. The tables were brightened with the bloom ot tne carnations as well as streamers of red. white and blue and red, white and blue candles. The service men were Invited to the dining hall at S o'clock and en tered to the stiring strains of the march played by Peter Gradoville and his joy producing melodists and who also offered a program of the popular music of the day during the course of the serving of the ban quet and making no small part of the success of the occasion. The banquet was presided over by Attorney J. A. Capwell, as toast master, and who in this capacity covered himself with glory and very pleasantly introduced the various spekers of the evening that were call-I ed upon. Father George D. Pierce, chaplain of the post, was called upon and pronounced the invocation, where upon the feast proceeded. The principal address of the num ber of after dinner speeches was that of Sam Reynolds, past commander cf the Omaha post, and also the present national committeeman for Nebras ka. Mr. Reynolds talk was a straight from the shoulder discussion of the American Legion, what it has done, what it can and should do in the future in its great function as a living part of the national life. Mr. Reynolds told several stories of the service that is found in the Omaha post in particular, of the dedication of the post to the task of serving the service man. He also covered the stand of the American Legion on the proposition of the universal draft, of money and property as well as labor in war, to take part equally with the men on the battlefield in making the battle for the country's cause. He also touched on the Legion's stand for the endowment for orphans of the world war and its wonderful effect th?t it would have in assisting the advancement of the nation. Mr. Reynolds briefly discussed the at titude of the interests at the time of the Legion's program was announced at the New Orleans convention and from which time they had conducted an attack on the proposed compensa tion to the war veterans in hope of weakening the Legion. The attitude of the big interest and the opposition of the radical elements indicated that the Legion was standing in the mid dle of the road for the protection of the old American doctrines and poli cies. Mr. Reynolds pointed out that the Legion was non-political, non-seeter-ian and embraced in its membership, Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jew, and that the question of creed did not apply in its ranks any more than it had when they all had gone to the front for the nation. The ques tion of race or religion was not ask ed of the man serving at the front and was not asked by the Legion. Following the address of Mr. Rey nolds, the members of the banquet party enjoyed several delightful musical numbers. Miss Kathryn Wadock giving a piano solo. "The Marseillaise." the national anthem of France, aud as a tribute to their late allies the service men and their guests stood until the last strains of the great patriotic melody had ceased. Miss Josephine Altman favored the Danquet party witn iwo very enjoy able numbers that gave this talented lady an opportunity of displaying her charming voice. Miss Altman and Miss Helen Wescott, also gave a very artistic duet, selecting a Tuscan folk song as their offering. The ladies were accompanied at the piano by E. H. Wescott and in response to the request of the audience Mr. Wescott was compelled to give them a piano number, playing "The Stars and Stripes Forever." John Curtis, secretary to the state railway commission and one of the live wire service men of Lincoln, was called upon and pave a mos; pleasing address that was allowed by his time and it was general regret that Mr. Curtis had not a greater length in which to speak. He told briefly of the responsibility that siooa oetore every region man or the support of our country and its institutions, the preservation of which was threatened in discord and attacks on the very foundation prin cipals of the nation. He briefly touched not only the ned for local ity to the nation hut to the state and the community in which we live. the fact that the resident of a com-i munity should stand four square for) the place he labors and earns hisi bread, to help upbuild the commun ity and not attempt to destroy it by knocking or opposing those things that were for the bes interests of the community. He commended the plans for the Legion memorial build ing here and hoped for Us success as a real monument of service to thei community both for the service men and the general pnblic. Mr. Curtis intcrsperced his addre -s with mr.ny very clever stories that added to the pleasures of the gathering. At the close of the banquet- the toastmaster called upon a number of the local Legion member:-; who gave, the message of service to tr.e com munity in which they lived : nd also the expression of the h pe that the ne w Memorial buildi: g might be be made a real success ia the coming year and give Plattsmouri! an ade quate place in which to hold com munity gatherings.

A Thought for After a tree takes root in the soil, it is pretty sure to gain in girth and in the spread of its branches. After the savings habit takes root in a person's character, it, too, will grow and become a dependable shelter against financial difficulties. Our suggestion for Arbor day is that you start a Savings account at the First National Bank, and give the savings habit a chance to bring protection and happi ness to you.
