AMERICAN LEGION NEWS
Items Of Interest To Ex-Service Men
And The Public.
What Is The American Legion: This
remark was made on one of our
principal streets, a few days ago. The
t. merican Legion was organized in
F. ance shortly after the Armistice.
It is now a little over a year old and I
h. 3 over 7,000 Posts in the United
States and new charters being granted
every month. Every one who served
with the United States or Allied
Armies, between April 6, 1917 and No
vember 11, 1918, and has an honorable
discharge, is eligible to membership.
We find that the public in general is
somewhat in doubt as to the purpose
of our organization; for their benefit
we wish to quote the Preamble of our
National constitution, which is as fol
lows: PREAMBLE: For God and
Country, we associate ourselves to
gether for the following purposes: To
uphold and defend the Constitution of
the- United States of America; to
maintain law and order; to foster and
perpetuate a one hundred per cent
Americanism; to preserve the memo
ries and incidents of our association in
the Great War; to inculcate a sense
of individual obligation to the com
munnity, state and nation; to combat
the autocracy of both classes and the
masses; to make right the master of
might; to safeguard and transmit to
posterity the principals of justice,
freedom and democracy; to concen
trat and sanctify our comradeship by
our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
How About. Your Discharge Certifi
cate: Have you put it on record
with the County Clerk? Any day you
may misplace this certificate and never
find it again. You have the one and
original copy, which will never be re
placed, in case it is lost. The War
Department will issue you, in case of
loss, a short certificate, simply stating
that you have had an honorable dis
charge from the Army. No record of
the battles or sector will be given. You
sl|puld have your certificate put on
record for your own protection. In
years to come this will be a very
valuable document.
Have You Converted Your Insurance:
Former service men desiring to re
instate their War Risk Insurance
which has lapsed or been cancelled, or
wish to convert their insurance in
cases where it is now in force, should
apply to Post Adjutant, America^
Legion. He will gladly furnish
blanks and necessary information and
assist you in every way possible.
The Woman’s Place: At present,
indications are that every post of the
American Legion will have an auxil
iary post. The National and State
Departments earnestly request that
the mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters get behind the Local posts.
That they will organize and lend their
moral support and sympathy to the
legion’s work. We hope and expect
that the day is not for distant when
each and every post will have its Wo
men’s auxiliary. We are sure that the
women of every community can bind
themselves in interestes nearly as close
as those which hold the men. We all
appreciate the dark hours, the keen
suffering, privation and the great
sacrifice these women made when they
sent their men to war. They went in
spirit through every ordeal, every ex
perience, every hardship. Now that
the World’s war is over and their men
have returned, it is peculiarly fit, that
they should back up these men in the
great work now being undertaken by
the American Legion. ,
Bureau Congestion Ends: R. G. Col
omely-Jones, Director of the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance, announces that
the congestion, dissatisfaction and
vexing delays are at an end. The
volume of work handled by this de
partment, caused by the demobiliza
ton of the armed forces, during the
past year, is appreciated by ex-service
men and the public at large. He as- I,
sures the public and former service
men in prticular, that all mail will be
handled within three or four days and
{hat answers wiil be in the form of
real letters, not from paragraphs and
letters as formerly used.
Would You Believe It: The files of
War Risk Insurance department show
the following number of common
names: 51,000 Smiths, 48,000 Browns,
and 47,000 Williams. There are 52
John J. O’Briens, fourteen of whom
made allotments to Mary O’Briens.
The Johnston family (Johnstons, John
stones, Johnson, Etc.) are in the file
53,200 strong. There are 3,412 Wil
lie Smiths. The Rodrigues family
from Porto Rico sent 894 men, having
only seven first names. All their
serial numbers were in the 600,000’s.
Johny boy was listed 23 ways, and Al
oysius may be spelled 49 ways. Oddj

braska and Wladyslous Chas Zyzes of!

American Legion Ritual: A national
committee headed by Dr. A. D. Mc
Kinney of Des Moines, Iowa; will soon
have a ritual completed for the
American Legion. Mr. Guy C. Cham
bers of Lincoln, Nebraska, who repre
sents the Department of Nebraska on
this committee, request that any sug
gestion along this line, be forwarded
to him at once.
State Wide Drive For Membership:
The Nebraska Legion News, edited
by Frank* B. O’Connell, Department
Adjutant, states that on April 1, 1920.
The American Legion, Department of
Nebraska, will fire the first gun of one
of the biggest membership drives
ever pulled off. It is the beginning of
a three months campaign to enroll our
30,000 members for the year. It is
going to be a whirlwind from the start
and it is going to end up on the Fourth
of July with real old-fashioned, unsafe
and insane celebrations through out
the whole state of Nebraska. Lets^jet
back of this drive and do our Bit!
New Quarters For The American
Legion: Arrangements have been
made with the Public Library Board so
that in the future the American Legion
may hold its regular monthly meetings
in the Library. The Members of the
Legion greatly appreciate the interest
that a few of our community at least
and taking in our work.
Inman Veterans Join Legion: Word
has been received by the Post Adju
tant, that several former service men
of Inman and vicinty will attend the
next regular meeting of the post, with
the intention of joining. Necessary
arrangements will be made at the
meeting, so that these boys will have
a post at Inman which will be a part
of Simonson Post No. 93.
This Column is donated to the Ameri
can Legion by the Editor. Through
this column, you will be kept posted
on past and present news of interest
to former service men. If you have an
item of interest send it in and it will
appear in this column. If you have a
question to ask, it will be answered in
this column.

Nebraska State Bank, Tuesday even
ing, March 30, 1920, at 8:00 o’clock.

WEAK, WEARY WOMEN
Learn, the Cause of Daily Woes and
End Them.
When the back aches and throbs,
When housework is torture,
When night brings no rest, nor
sleep,
When urinary disorders set in,
Women’s lot is a weary one.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Have proved their worth in O’Neill.
This is one O’Neill woman’s testi
mony.
Mrs. A. Sanders, says: “I was hav
ing a great deal of backache. It was
such steady, tiring ache as to about
wear me out and I felt weak, run down
and nervous. Not until my kidneys
began acting irregularly did I know |
what was causing the trouble. I had
heard about Doan’s Kidney Pills, so I
bought some at Gilligan & Stout’s
Drug Store. I received relief quickly
and I have had no need to use them
since.”
Price GOe, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Sanders had. Foster-Milbum Co.,

UNION MEETINGS
CONCLUDE SUNDAY NIGHT
The throe weeks’ union church
services of the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches will conclude with
a service at the Presbyterian church

two weeks ago last Sunday evening
with a union service at the Presbyte
rian church and the first two weeks of
the weekly meetings were held at the
Methodist church. This week the

to illness the bishop, who also was to
have spoken at the union service, was
unable to be present and the Rev. J.

Enough For Her.
“Do you think, dearest, that you
could manage on my salary?” the fond
youth asked.
“Why, yes; I think I could, darling,”
the sweet wirl responded, “but how in

Do not take any man’s
word. There is no cheap
money. Do not be fool

get the money.
