What The Americv/i Legion Stands
For: (Preamble of Constitution.)!
For God and Country, we associate’
cjrselves together for the following!
purposes: To uphold and defend the!
C.nstitution cf the United States of'
America, to maintain law and order;!
to foster and perpetuate a one hundred i
per cent Americanism; to preserve’
the memories and incidents of our as
sociation in the Great War; to incul-!
cate a sense of individual obligation j
to the community, state and nation;
to combat the autocracy of both classes1
and the masses; to make right the
master of might; to promote peace
and good will on earth; to safeguard
and transmit to posterity the prin
ciples of justice, freedom and democ
racy; to consecrate and sanctify our
comradeship by our devotion to mutual
helpfulness.
Chairman cf Executive Committee Ac
cepts Position in Omaha: C. W.
Conklin, Chairman of the Executive
Committee, Local post of the Ameri
can Legion, 'has accepted a position
in Omaha and left Monday to take
up his new work. The loss of Mr.
Conklin will be greatly felt by our
post, he having been a faithful worker
f-r the good of ex-servoice men.
Nation Needs Business Man at the
Head of Government: It will not
be many months until we will cast
our ballot and from the looks of
things, some one is due to move.
This will be a very important election
for the American Legion, as well as
fer the nation and the world at large.
When you go to the polls on election
day, Remember, what our nation needs
at present is a Real Honest to Good
ness Business Man for president, re
gardless of politics.
Y. M. C. A. Gives American Legion
$500,000.00: The Y. M. C. A. has
made a gift of half million off dollars
to the American Legion. This
amount represents part of the profit
from canteen operations in France
during the war. This money will be
held in trust for five years, the Legion
using the interest to carry on their
work.
Jack Dempsey In Bad: According toj
Gordon Dowson assistant United
States district attorney, Maxine
Wayne, former wife of Jack Dempsey,
heavyweight puglist and draft dodger,
will relate a startling story to the
grand jury, regarding Jack’s exempt
ion. She is being brought back from
Tihuana, Mexico, to testify against
Mr. Dempsey.
Will the United States Invade Mexico:
Prof. Frederich Starr, famous an
thropologist, known all over the world
and an accepted authority on Mexico
and its affairs predicts such a move
after the presidential election. Prof.
Starr states he is positive that the
U. S. will invade Mexico and if neces
sary absorb it.
Are You a Member of the American
Legion: If you wish to join our
Post hand your application to any
Post member and he will see that your
name is entered on the Post roster.
Members receive information on
numerous subjects. All American Le
gion members are kept posted from
week to week on all subjects that are
of interest to ex-service men. Bulle
tins and letters are sent out to the
0 Adjutant of Local posts from Depart
ment Headquarters treating on all sub
jects regarding past and present
troubles. The Adjutant will gladly
help you get action on any trouble you
may have with the government.
Will Investigate Vocational Training
Board: Mr. Harold Littledale a re
porter for the New York Evening
Post, has made a thorough investiga
tion of this Board and has reported
it very inefficient. He states in his
report that out of 209,000 cases reg
istered with this Board up to and in
cluding January 17th of this year,
nineteen months after its creation,
only 217 men had been trained and
placed. Something certainly should be
done for these ex-service men.
Soldiers Bodies to Be Burned: Secre
tary Baker informed Chairman
Wadsworth of the senate military
committee that the bodies of 50,000
American soldiers would be brought
home from France. Shortage of ma
terial used in manufacture of coffins
is handicapping the work. The cost of
returning these bodies to America is
estimated at $30,000,000.00. Bodies
of 20,000 to 25,000 will remain in
France.
Have You Lost Your Discharge Cer
tificate: If you still have your dis
charge certificate, you are in luck. You
should take it to Mr. Porter, County
Clerk of Holt County, he will gladly
put it on record and return it to you
within a day or two, without charge.
This will protect you and you will al
ways be able to get a true copy from
the County Clerk in case you can not
produce the original. You should do
this at once for your own protection,
any day you might misplace your certi
ficate and never find it again. You
have the one and only copy of your
Army record that has been made or
will be made. In case the original is
destroyed, the War Department will
| issue you a short certificate stating
! that you have had an honorable dis
charge from the Army, this certificate '
will not give any record of where you
have been or what battles or sections
you were in. Think this over
We Are Doing Nicely: Simonson
Post No. 93 of the American Legion
has a membership of fifty. Have you ,
joined ? If not take your application
to the Post Adjutant or any member j
of the Post and your name will be
entered on the Post roster. The Ad
jutant will gladly take up any differ- 1
enco you may have with the Govern
ment and do all possible to straighten
out your trouble. i
Yanks In France: Gen. William D.
Connor left Paris by way of Ant- ,
werp, Germany January 9th accompa- .
nied by 300 officers and men with or- j
ders to report back to the United j
States. This cuts the number df 1
Yanks down to about 100 men still in 2
France. These men will not return to 2
this country for some time as they are j
working with the Grave register de- j
partment.
O’Neill Boy Bequests Application Card 1
Jack Chemeler formerly of O’Neill 2
but at present traveling out of Omaha, 2
says: “Send me American Legion J
card at once. I want to join your ]
post. Nearly every town in myterri
tory has a post and I miss many good I
times by not being a member.” g
American Legion Magazine In New a
Hands: The American Legion Mag- i
azine is to be reorganized and move J
back to New York under new manage- 1
ment where it started. It will appear J
in larger shape with less propaganda j
and more news and articles of inter- j
est. We hope the magazine under new j
management will fill a long felt need j
of ex-service men. What we want is j
the dope and not’ stories. J
What’s the Matter With a Homestead: 8
You birds don’t seem to take kindly |j
to Government land. As far as we 2
are able to discover not one ex- ser- 9
vice man in or around O’Neill has
filed on land in the North Platee pro- '
ejct. Reports state 1200 former
soldiers, sailors and marines have filed
and all land taken. Secretary Lane
has asked Congress for an appropria
tion of $7,000,000 to $12,000,000 for
irrigation project next year, Presi
dent Wilson has approved the expendi
ture. Projects that will receive ap
propriation include the Yama, Grand
Valley, Uneampagre Valley, Boise,
King Hill, Minidoka, Huntley, Milk .
River, Lower Yellowstone, North
Platte, Newlands, Carlsbad, Rio
Grande, Yomatila, Kalamath, Belle
Fourche, Strawberry Valley, Yakima
Valley and Shoshone. This land is
worth from $125 to $200 per acre, as
soon as the water is turned on. This
will be an opportunity of a lifetime to
secure a farm and should not be over
looked by any Dough-boy, Leather
neck or Gob.
Leave For Homestead: Two of our
members, Charles and William
Schroder have shipped for Gillette,
Wyoming, where they have filed on
homesteads and expect to spend the
summer. They asked to have the
Legion magazine sent to their address
in Wyoming.
Nebraska Legion Has Official News
Paper: Frank B. O’Connell, De
partment Adjutant, Lincoln, Nebras
ka, is putting out a four page paper
edited by himself, called Nebrsaka Le
gion News which lives up to its name
in every respect. He has been in close
touch with the American Legion since
its organization and his work is
handled in a very efficient way. Mr.
O’Connell' can not be commended too
highly for the work he has undertaken.
We all wish him success.
American War Veterans Record: A
copy of which is at hand, is chuck
full of interesting information for ex
service men. Subjects are well
handled by its editor.
By-Laws For Local Post: The Post
Adjutant has received a sample
copy bulletin of by-laws, sent out
from Department Headquarters, which
will be acted upon at the next regular
meeting. The bulletin is greatly ap
preciated by the committee on by-laws
as by post officers.
The Local Press; State that they
will gladly print any information of
interest to ex-service men. That they
are fully in favor of a reasonable
Bonus for all men who served with
Uncle Sam. If you have any news
send it in and it will appear in this
column.
DON’T GIVE UP.
Discouraged Citizens Will Find Com
fort in the Experience of An
O’Neill Man.
Experience is the modem instructor.
Profit by the experience of others.
It may save your life.
The experience of friends and neigh
bors,
The testimony of O’Nill people.
Will bring renewed encouragement.
Here is a case in point:
R. H. Mills says: “I have had no
further need of Doan’s Kidney Pills
since publicly recommending them
some time ago. I still praise them be
cause of the satisfactory relief they
gave me from backache and lameness
I had when my kidneys were dis
ordered.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Mills had. Foster-Milbum Co.,
