Legion Prepar
ing for the Fall
Fun Festival
Event Will Ee Held From November
11th to 16th Inclusive Eaise
in Dues Is Made.
The Hugh J. Kearns post of the
American legion of this city held
thtir regular monthly meeting laBt
evening at the Legion building and
had two matters of importance to
deal with that of the forthcoming
Fall Fun Festival and the changes in
dues made necessary by the action of
the last state convention.
The Fall Fun Festival is to be held
on the week of November 11th to
ICth, inclusive, and as this will occur
soon after the election of the new
officers it was decided to have the
committee selected at this time in
order that the plans may be carried
on without delay and Commander
Lugsch selected as' the committee to
have charge of the Festival, W. R
Holly, Leslie W. Niel, Frank H
Smith and Elmer A. Webb. The com
mittee will plan a much larger
scheme of entertainment than in the
past and also to eliminate wheels or
other devices that have been featured
at these as well as other similar
events given by other organizations
in the city. The committee will plan
special features which it is hoped will
make the forthcoming show a real
event in every way.
The post also faced the necessity
of action on the dueB that will be
charged for the year 1930 at the last
state convention of the Legion at
Hastings made an advance in the
dues of the state organization and
which automatically takes all of the
amount heretofore raised by the local
post in their charges for dues. The
local post has since its organization
maintained their dues at two dollars,
the lowest amount of any post in the
state and of this sum, one dollar was
sent to the national organization and
seventy-five cents to the state organ
ization, leaving but twenty-five cents
for the local treasury and which
amount was hardly adequate for the
Bmall expenses of the poBt adminis
tration. The last state convention
raised the state dues to one dollar per
member and this will not leave the
local post anything from their mem
bership fees and thence the neces
sity of the raise.
It was decided by the unanimous
vote of all of the members present
that the dues be placed at three dol
lars for the next year and which will
permit the post to have social fea
tures or lunches at their monthly
meetings as is the custom in a great
many of the posts of the Btate. In
many of the posts the memberships
have for years ranged from three to
five dollars, so the local post is still
among the lowest In the cost of mem
bership. The election for the officers for the
year 1930 will be held at a meeting
on Thursday. October 31st as the
changes in the state constitution has
arranged for the new officers to take
office in November instead of De
cember to give them greater oppor
tunity of getting ready for the new
year program.
The local community building is
being given a fall overhauling by the
memberB in painting several of the
smaller rooms and it is hoped to be
able to have the main hall painted
and re-decorated. One of the plans of
the year calls for the placing of a
ceiling on the main dance hall which
will add to the appearance of the
hall as well as a great saving in the
heating of the building as now a
great amount of heat is lost in the
open spaces above the rafters of the
room.
POSTPONE MEETING
From Frlday a Dally
Owing to the continued rain and
increasing disagreeable road condi
tions it was found necessary today
to have a postponement of the coun
ty welfare meeting which was to
have been held today at Weeping
Water. This meeting was to have
been held a few days ago at Weep
ing Water but owing to the storm
it was decided to have the date
changed to Friday and today the
conditions are even worse and mak
ing necessary the indefinite post
ponement until more settled condi
tions. Hon. E. M. Pollard of the de
partment of labor and welfare, was
to have met with the advisory com
mittee and the county officers in
whose line of work the care and cus
tody of delinquent children falls.
This county is the first in the state
to be organized along the lines pro
posed by Mr. Pollard as to the care
of the delinquent children, con
forming to the plans now in vogue in
other states.

WILL ATTEND CONVENTION
From Saturday's Dally
C. C. Wescott of C. E. Wescotfs
Sons store leaves Monday for Omaha,
Nebraska, to attend the 2nd buying
convention of the Allied Clothiers
and Jobbers, a group-buying associa
tion of which the Wescott store is a
member.
The Allied Clothiers and Jobbers,
comprising leading clothing stores
in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Mis
souri, are affiliated with the Allied
Clothiers who are having their buy
ing convention one week later in St.
Paul.
Two buying conventions have been
deemed desirable owing to the ex
pansion of the organization. The St.
Paul convention is for the northwest
members: the Omaha convention,
which Mr. Wescott is attending, is
for midwest members.
The Allied Clothiers have been in
active operation for ten years, and
can therefore claim to be pioneers
in the field of cooperative buying
which is a distinct trend in modern
retailing.
Group buying not only permits
each store to buy at lower prices
than otherwise possible, it also as
sures the store of dependable mer
chandise because, before a manufac
turer's line is selected by the direc
tors of the Allied Clothiers, it must
first answer every test for reliablity.
All the directors of the Allied Cloth
iers are owners of leadine clothing
stores.

of the past years, which is now on
display in the windows of the
Thierolf clothing store, this being a
silver speaking trumpet, which in
the nast fortv-seven vears served as
" "
the mouthpiece through which the
fire chief has called his orders to the
members of the department. This
trumpet was rormeny a yaiuame as
set to the department, but since the
election of Dr. O. Sandin as chief. It
Is unnecessary to use the trumpet,' as I
the chief is capable of doing his own
broadcasting without any assistance
from artificial means.
The trumpet has engraved upon it
the names of the men who have serv-
erf n rhief nf the TMnttsmnnth fire

with Hon. F. E. White, in 1882, and
continuing with unris Koenke, 18 S3-
