more, business thrives, national in

more to divide. 1 :

building for his buddies of two wars.
A full attendance of members of
the local post at the'»ext monthly
meeting, Tuesday night, August 5, is
urged. It is promised that some in
teresting reports of the state con
vention will be given, and a discus
sion of the memorial prospects will
highlight the meeting. This writer
has noted a growing interest in the
memorial possibilities, and can fore
see a city-wide (maybe a pounty-
wide) desire of Legion members—
not to mention the average citizen—
to be a part of a movement that wiil
be a credit to the city and county.
Coach Walter A. Johnson, 1 of Pres
byterian college, will be the principal
speaker.
Those fund-raising dances, adver-
i tised elsewhere in this paper, are
still swelling the Memorial fund, and
causing lots of fun at the armory
each Saturday night. The public is
invited to attend.

To teachers, I say: “Get to know

to sell himself on the interview. 1

' ize that personal qualifications such
as incentive, resourcefulness, adapt-

than joining a union to assure suc
