AMERICAN LEGION TO
STAGE UNIQUE SHOW
“Powder River” Featuring and Cari
caturing Wild West Days Will
Supply Thrills Enough to
Satisfy Most Exacting
“Powder River,” the big American
Legion Jamboree, will be held on
Marchi 1st to March 8th at the Audi
torium.
It will be a fast and furious week
of pleasure and entertainment, ac
cording to the Legion men in charge.
“Bad Jim” Dahlman, the famous
cow puncher, and his side-kick, “Mexi
can Joe” Koutsky, will be on hand to
make things lively and with their six
shooters, will try to control the town.
The Red Dog Saloon will be the
center of activities and "Big John”
Hopkins, who drinks gasoline instead
of water, will be in charge.
The famous “Calamity Jane’s” Pal
ace will be the real gambling joint
of the fair city of “Powder River.”
Games of old, as seen during the early
Western days, will again be played.
Such innocent pleasures as stud poker,
faro bank, dice and roulett, will pre
vail at "Calamity Jane’s” Palace.
“There ain’t much going on in
‘Powder River’ these days” said Razz
berry Harry” Hough. “There was
only two cuttin’ scrapes and six shoot
in’s during the past ten days. ‘Hon
est Tom’ Dennison was dealin’ and a
final pot had done simered down to
Tom an’ a pale faced stranger with
a shifty eye that breezed into town
some days before. Suddenly the lights
went out and the shootin’ started.”
But for the coming American Le
gion Show, “Powder River” will be
made even tougher than this accord
ing to “Bad Jim.”
There will be fun every minute
and each ticket purchaser will be pro
vided with 6000 “smacks” in “Powder
River* currency as soon as he enters
the auditorium. This “Powder River”
currency can be spent in having a
good time dancing, gamblin', for soft
drinks, sandwiches and in various
other ways. Gilbert Jaffey’s Music
Masters will play for the dancing and
everyone is assured of the fun inci
dent to a visit to such a “lawless,”
liquor drinking, gun totin’, card play
ing community.
There is bound to be plenty of ex
citement, for an election will be held
to see who is Sheriff and Mayoress
of “Powder River.”
“Powder River” is rich also. Two
automobiles and other prizes total
ing $4,000 will be given away. Don’t
forget the date, March 1st to March
8th. The American Legion will be
the boss.

A hen is not supposed to have

A rooster hasn’t got a lot "

& But none the less most roosters have
Enough good sense to crow. p
The mule, the most despised of beasts,
9 Has a persistent way
Of letting folks know he’s around :;
By his insistent bray.
ta The busy little bees they buzz.
Bulls bellow and cows moo, ^
The watch dogs bark, the ganders quack,
The doves and pigeons coo.
I The peacock spreads his tail and squacks,
Pigs squeal and robins sing
And even serpents know enough p
To hiss before they sting. p
But man, the greatest masterpiece
That nature could devise, Mj
Will often stop and hesitate ' '
Before he’ll advertise.
Merchants who are wise
And want our people’s trade
Use THE MONITOR to advertise
And thus their fortune’s made.
