fnraU in, buddy!
In more than 11,000 communities the world over today
your old Buddies are. through The American Legion, still
in action, fighting at home for the land that was good
enough to fight for abroad.
There are vacant places in the ranks that can never be
filled blank files dedicated to the memory of old ship
mates and tentmates who went West when death rode in
the air and sea.
But there's your old place in the line, Buddy, waiting
for you, and the bugle of duty sounds "Fall in". There
are no written orders or commands except those of your
own conscience, and bunk-fatigue brings no excited top
kicker.
Just the same. Soldier, The American Legion needs you
and you need The American Legion. That's fifty-fifty.
Hold up your end and become a member.
By midnight Saturday July 1, Red Cloud Post No. 238
wants to have every eligible service man or woman en
rolled as a member.
Your honorable discharge is your elegibility ticket.
Your Legion button tells the world you have such a dis
charge. For further information call on
Dr. R. S. Martin, Commander
Harry Yost, Treasurer
G. R. Beck, Vice Com.,

BUDDY, JOIN THE LEGION
Because it is the spirit made visible
of the high resolve that led us through
the hardships of the war: because It
is the great and living monument of
the victory we won; because it is or
ganized in every community in Ameri
ca, and in every possession overseas
that flies the American flag; because
it comes to your help in time of need;
because it keeps you in touch with
the old comrades you are drifting
away from; because it finds you bud
dies everywhere: ana Dccause n menu
fies you with the greatest American
organization in America.
Do 'you know today what has be
come of Number Three of your old
squad, who saluted with two fingers
to his right eyebrow? Where is old
Bill Smith, who carried your pack ten
miles on the hottest August day
France ever saw? Or Tom Jones,
who lugged you under cover in his
arms when you tried to stop a silver
of H. E.? Have you ever met your
old top sergeant in civies yet? Don't
you ever light up a pill and meditate
a bit and wonder what has become of
the old-timers in camp and trench
whom you were always trc-inc to keep
in touch with? Have you any idea of
the whereabouts of one in a hundred
of them now? And when you happen
on one of them accidentally don't you
pump-handle for five minutes and
. fit Kni a..
wanaer on wim a nine caicn in your
throat?
You'r mighty right you do. It
was a tough old war, but it brought
every one of us associations and
friendships that he never wants to
lose completely out of his life. But'
time passes and every one of us has
his own path to follow. What can we
do about it?
The Ameriian Legion is the answer.
It's the officinl organization of the
ex-soldiers of America. It has a post
in every community in America. Its
weekly magazine is mailed to n mil
lion members. It is made up of your
old pals and founded on the memories
of the old davs. It has a place for
every man who wore the uniform.
Come in and keep in touch. It's lone
some outside.

THRIFT
"Save young man and become respect
able and reipscted. It's the aureat
way."-BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
THIS MAXIM from the mind of one of America's
greatest thinkers should strike home with the young
men of Red Cloud and vicinity. Our most successful
business men have heeded it in their youth and are happy
for having done so. They practiced thrift without personal
inconvenience and the dollars they thus saved proved the
foundation for their succsss.
