I cherish and hold sacred the memories of those stir ring day9, the valorous deeds and heroic sacrifices of the men in khaki and blue. I am the American Legion. With ever watchful eyes I care for and look after the needs and wants of the maimed and disabled veterans of the Great War. With tenderness and mercy I minister to them. With unrelenting strength and power I fight in the legislative halls of our country for their welfare and hap piness I turn the searchlight of pittiless publicity on inefficiency and unfairness toward the former ser vice man. T am fhA Amftrican Lwion. I safe guard those rights and principles for which our warriors endured a screaming hell in far-off lands for which they gave unstintingly of their warm life of blood. The con j stitution of our country I uphold j and will always defend. I I am the American Legion. I am strong with the strength of youth and wise with wisdom of experi ence. In my ranks are carefree boys and gray-haired men, millionaires and paupers, statesmen and humble folks, ail banded together for a com mon cause. I am the American Legion. The great sturdy organization of veter ans upon whose far-flung member ship the sun never sets. My outposts are established in every land, in every clime; my banner is unfurled beside the Stars and Stripes where ever Americans are gathered. I am the American Legion. f! The following lines by Stafford King of Minnesota, express the Le gion's feeling toward the Legion's Auxiliary: The American Legion auxiliary is ^ The backbone of the Legion. ' . The American Legion Auxiliary is I , Your wife, your mother, your sister, your daughter, Women who have suffered that you might succeed; Who know the bitter sweet of sacri fice; The sadness of farewell; The joy of reuniting. ' Women who know the patient happi ness of service% A too often unremarked and unre warded ; Who bravely sent you forth Like Spartan mothers of old to victory or your shroud. Who wept not lest you be ashamed, Who waited lonely days for you I Or still are waiting For those who rest where poppies blow Or walk the silent valleys of the deep. "They also serve who only stand and wait." They know and love you and through you They know and love the Legion. You belong to them and they to you. Help them now As they served then? God bless them! ADA JONES AND HER OWN COMPANY The event of the musical season will be the appearance at the opera house on March 14 of Ada Jones, the best liked and best known come dienne of the country. You will see and hear Ada Jones in person and her own company of high class ar tists. The success of this American girl, is as more than one writer has remarked, a shining proof that there are native singers who may never fear European rivalry. Ada J Jones is today an artist of glorious : gifts and power, the possessor of a voice to which few can ever be com i pared. :! Knicker suits are the style for girls these days. A man appeared on the ,! streets of Abbeville last week in I such a suit and created quite a fol i lowing.
