Let us, have your name before April 6th. j You ask, What has the legion done?; First I will mention a few things ^ that i^tve been accomplished by the 1 local pOst: It has repaired and fitted j up its present quarters so that we be-j lieve we have just reason to feel proud of our home. Especially since: this wis accomplished without call-1 ing upon the general public for as-j sistance. It has been a pleasure to us; to grant permission for the various: organizations to use the hall when-; ever desired. It distributed the French War me-j morial certificates to the next of kin j oi those who were called upon to j make the supreme sacrifice. It contributed to the fund where-! by flowers and an American flag wasl placed on the grave of every veteran' who sleeps on foreign soil, on last. Memorial day. It has taken charge of the funerals of departed comrades of this community. It has secured Victory medals from the government for the veterans who have made application for them. It has helped veterans with their. War Risk insurance, with their com-j l: 1 ?: it,i jjei.'i-sviuu ciami^, aiucu uiciw sc*; cure vocational training; and placed some in hospitals. It has striven to keep holy and unpoluted, not only the memories of the veterans' service, but the clear discerning knowledge of why they served?witness the Armistice day celebration. It has been the spokesman for every ex-service man in this community. Second: The national organization has obtained a raise in compensation! for disabled men from $30.00 to $80.00 per month?$125,000,000 voted to the War Risk insurance bureau for death or disability claims?$90,000,000 voted to the Board of Vocational training; and $46,000,000 for hospitalization. The legiorris now fighting for legislation which will place under one head the War Risk insurance bureau, i jVocational training bureau, and the I Public health service, thus speeding up the claims of thousands of disabled men now without just treatI ment. The legion has helped hundreds of ex-service men settle claims with the government. You don't know when i you may have one. John B. Setzler, Commander. NEWBERRY TO MEET ALL SOUTH CAROLINA TEAMS Newberry, April 3.?Newberry college's complete baseball schedule for the present season has been announced. The schedule calls for 16 games, eight games to be played at home and eight on the road. Two games will be played with every college team in South Carolina. The Lutherans are not given to boasting beforehand of accomplishing great things, but there is reason to believe that a good showing will be made by the team as the season progresses. Seven members of last year's team are on hand again this season; namely, Luther, Derrick and A. Shealv. oitchers: Cromer and Rob inson, catchers; W. F. Shealy, star shortstop, and Haltiwanger, centerfielder and leading batter of the team last scacon. Robinson, besides catching the slants and speedy ones of the husky Indian hurlers, will be used also in the role of utility man. This Columbia lad can play almost any position well, but he will likely be used moinlv irt tVip infiplH. Several new men are showing up well and are expected to add strength to the team. P. K. Harmon is manager of the team and W. F. Shealy is captain. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DRIVE OFFICIALLY CLOSED "The chamber of commerce drive for a bigger ar.d better Newberry came to its official close at the team luncheon Friday, with a total number momKorcIiinc rortnrf.pfl litl t'O that VI 1* IV111 WJ. * V|/w* ?v? ?J- - ? time of 348 members. A great effort is being made to reach the goal of 400 and there is every reason to be lieve that this will be accomplished in the near future. Mr. Z. F. Wright, chairman of the team organization, spoke of his great appreciation of the services the teams have rendered during the drive week and prophesied that if the same kinc of team work and spirit could be carried on with the work of the permanent organization there could be no question about the future of Newberry.

Wicker, Jim Johnson and J. B. Hunter, carried away all honors, leading by a total of the week x>f 74 memberships. Captain Wicker's team of this division also lead all other teams with a total af 28 memberships, the next one to him being Captain Goggans of Major Kohn's division, whose team gathered in 26 scalps. The third highest captain in the organization was Captair. Jim Johnson, also of Major Babb's division with the total of 24 memberships. Major T. K. Johnstone's division stood second, with a total of 45. an interesting fact being that each of his three captains, Captain Martin. Captain Mayes and Captain Summer, had exactly 15 memberships apiece. One of the surprising results of the week was the large number of memberships obtained by the women's teams under the majorship of Mrs. F. R. Hunter. Captain Mrs. Fant being in the lead with 15 memberships. MICKIE, THE PRINT, t>OK? \N\GG1MS, VMUO VANS fc! COURSE <51VE \T IAST \WEGK. WE S XWOZ.

P. J. Carter of the American City bureau, who has handled the publicity and office during the campaign left the city on Saturday. Mr. Wm. C. Ewing, who has been the director of the campaign for the American City bureau will remain in the city until the arrival of Mr. Jas.

Mr. McKenna is expected to arrive on Wednesday of this week. It is doubtful if Newberry has ever taken a project which has been carried forward with such a zealous spirit and which has developed such enthusiasm as the Chamber of Com-i merce just closed. There is every reason to expect that the interest will not only be maintained but increase as the work of the new organization develops.
