AMERICAN LEGION
SIMONSON POST NO. 93
News For Former Service Men By A
Service Mm.
TO Our Comrades Who Sleep In
France: Comrades of all American
Legion posts are asked to call their
members and all citizens attention to
the Marne Memorial, which is to be
erected at, Meaux, France, near Chat
eau-Thierry, on the Marne river. It
is particular fit that Crateau-Thierry
and the Marne should be designated
a9 the place to erect this memorial as
a tribute to our dead comrades. One
of the greatest sacrifices of the war
was made at this place. The name of
Chateau-Thierry, to-day is history.
This memorial statue is to be given to
France by the American people, and
will mean the same to the Fench
people as the statue of Liberty means
to America.
Have You Joined the Legion? We
Want to build up our post of the
American Legion, will you come over
to the next monthly meeting and get
acquainted? You do not have to
join, unless you want to. The fellows
would like to have you come over and
receive the benefit of our meeting, be
cause service men can help each other
bsst. In union there is strength.
Will You Allow Us To Aid You?
Were you wounded or disabled or
do not have any claims which the
American Legion can help you to set
tle? If so, will you permit the Adju
tant of Simonson Post to help you with
it. The Adjutant has been assured by
government authorities that they will
co-operate.. Are you keeping up your
insurance, and how much? and do
you know your rights under the War
Risk Act; if not, will you talk this
over with Frank D. Hamish, Post
Adjutant of our local post. He will
give you a copy of the booklet which
tells in simple language what your
opportunities are, and how valuable
this insurance is. Will you at least
Ill
reinstate at once to protect your de
pendants until you have thoroughlj
investigated the converted insurance
This insurance is a badge of honoi
and only service men are entitled tc
its protection.
Identification Cards; The War RisI
Insurance has sent out a small
white card to all holders of W. R. In
surance. This card when data is fillec
in will prove a very reliable source oi
information, in case you wish to write
the Bureau regarding your insurance
It will also prove a means of identi
fication in case of accident or sickness
while among strangers. These cards
should not be returned to the W. R
Bureau, as many have done with theii
cards.
A Good Idea From Holt County: The
following bulletin was sent out from
National Headquarters, March 3, “De
partment Adjutant urged to instruct
Department Historians, on the ad
visability of all ex-service men offici
ally recording their Discharge papers
with the Recorder of their county.’
The National Commander neglected tc
inform all Deparments that this idea
originated in Holt County, Nebraska
But no difference who had the idea, ii
is sure a good one and should be fol
lowed to the letter.
Citations Revoked: The National Com
mander of the American Legion has
been notified by the War Department
that citations bestowed on the Bear
ing Service Company of Detroit, arc
withdrawn. There were 27 citations
in all issured this Company, on theii
pledge, to employ all former service
men who left their company to entei
the army or navy during the war
They have now refused to take one oi
their men back and all citations art
revoked.
About That Discharge Certificate
Have you put it on record with Mr
Porter County Clerk, of this coYmty 1
If you have neglected putting it or
record, you should take it to the
njmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnmmmammmmmmmm
county clerk at once and have it re
corded. Any day you may misplace
this certificate and never find it again.
If you will put it on record, you will
always be able to get a true copy, at
ary time, which will answer the same
purpose as the original.
\V. R. Insurance Congestion Ends.
The War Risk Insurance Bureau,
announces that the number of un
answered letters in that department
which have caused so much trouble
and inconvenience in the past, has
been reduced from 325,000 to 38,000.
Unposted premium payments have
been reduced from 210,000 to 9,000.
This will enable the Bureau to handle
all business as current.
Will You Assist the Legion? Do you
know of any former service man or
woman who needs hospital care or
compensation? If so, will you please
send their names to Post Adjutant,
Simonson Post No. 93, O’Neill, Ne
braska. The members of this post
request information, regarding all
cases that need medical or hospital
attention in this vicinity.
“Uncle Mose” is With. Us: We are in
receipt of a letter from Hon. M.
P. Kinkaid in 'which he assures our
Adjutant and all former service men
and their friends of this vicinity that
he favors “Adjusted Cmpensation” for
all former service men, as outlined by
the American Legion Committee and
that this measure will continue to re
ceive his hearty support.
Insurance Film Released: The W. R.
Insurance Department announces
that they will release the film entitled
“Uncle Sam—Insurance Agent” to all
posts of the American Legion for ex
hibition. This film is part of the
campaign to keep active the thirty

The Biggest Vote
You Ever Cast!
but not a rich
«« VI ---- man; a diplo- ^
1 A / B W mat, but not an “internationalist”; a statesman, but
■f B| yJ ■ not a dreamer; a fighter, but not a militarist; a leader,
^ » AM j • not a politician.
Because, if you cast it right, that vote will name
John j. persuing the next President of the United States.
For President
The statement is a big one, but it is not a whit
bigger than the facts justify,
i Of all the many candidates in the field, John J.
Pershing of Nebraska is the only one who has
refused the nomination from politicians—who has
declined to announce himself as a contestant—
who has left his hopes and aspirations in the
t hands of his fellow citizens.
In spite of this, the Pershing-for-President
< sentiment lias spread throughout the United
States with unparalleled rapidity.
Today, despite the fact that no organized cam
paign whatever has been made for him outside of
this state, Pershing looms in the eye of every
astute political observer as the nominee of the
national convention in Chicago.
The reasons are simple. Pershing is:
| The one candidate on whom all factions
can unite.
The one candidate who has DEMON
STRATED his ability to handle a Presi
dential-size job.
The one candidate who is fitted to
solve the international problems which
remain as this country’s heritage of the
World War.
The one candidate who, throughout the
confusion of war, kept his head level and
did his work quietly and quickly—yet so
well that his enemies have found no loop- |
hole for criticism.- i;
The one candidate who is a business
man, but not a ricl\man; a diplomat, but
not an “internationalist”; a statesman,
" but not a dreamer; a lighter, but not a
militarist; a leader, but not a politician.
The Nation wants Pershing. Let Nebraska
nominate Pershing, and the rest of this country
will name 1: im at the t: itional convention and
elect him next November by the biggest majority
ever given a Presk.ential candidate.
You will hear many words from the other can
didates; you will hear none from Pershing. He
has performed the task which you and the rest
of ther nation set him; he leaves it to you to say
whether he performed it well.
> THAT FACT MAKES EVERY NEBRASKAN
THE CUSTODIAN OF THE GREATEST
TRUST WHICH WAS EVER PLACED IN
THE HANDS OF A STATE CITIZENRY.
IT IS A TRUST THAT NEBRASKA MUST
NOT —THAT NEBRASKA CAN NOT —
BETRAY. |
No other state—no other body of voters—can
dischar ge that trust for you. On Nebraska—AND
NEBRASKA ALONE—rests the responsibility.
You and you only can place the name of Nebras
ka’s greatest citizen in the presidential lists.
YOU AJNJJ YOU O.N.LY can give to the nation the one man, who, above all others is htted to
carry out the great tasks which will confront the next president—John J. Pershing—your fellow Ne
braskan—your presidential candidate.
NEBRASKA MUST NOT PAIL. Do your part. Go to the polls Tuesday, April 20, and vote for
Pershing of Nebraska
for President
