The American Legion was
born of the fighting spirit of
the American Army and navy,
that spirit welded five million
men together in a united de-
termination *o conquer Geman
militarism, it still lives. Ani-
mated by it the American Le-
gion marches on to day with
the same blazing conviction
that the five million knew in
1918. Today it is ready to
fight our battles for right.
“For God and Country,” we
associate ourselves, this was
the indomitable purpose that
provided the first caucus at
Paris, that was affirmed at St.
Louis and consecrated at
Minneapolis. That solmn pur-
pose was reaffirmed at Cleve-
land. and now the Legion heads
in to 1921 with the zeal of
crusaders in a glorious cause,
the fulfillment of the pream-
ble to it’s constitution. Read
that preamble again. Let it
sink in. It points out the
path of duty to every legion-
naire. There are those out
side the Legion who scoff at
the sentiments of that pream-
ble. There is fighting to be
done, and the Legion is going
to be in the front lines. We
shall follow no middle of the
road policy. We are going to
hit and hit hard. W’e shall
fight all attacks on constitu-
tional Americanism and battle
to keep this country safe on
the road of national destiny.
We shall first obtain justice
and proper care for our sick
and wounded. We shall press
unceasingly our work in
Americanism. We shall achieve
a fair adjustment of compen-
sation for the men who suf-
fered financially because of
their service. This, and much
mor<\ we will do.
“Fall In,” has sounded. The
objectives are ahead. Let’s go

One of the outstanding fea-
tures of the day was the fine
co-operation and aid rendered

TO THE PARENTS:

only a week before the game*
and that is the reason for
their defeat.

If a child is going to miss
any part of the school term,
it should be the latter rather
than the first part of the ses-
sion, for if he attends the lat-
ter part of the session, he wiii
be a drag to the class in which
he happens to be and will not
be doing himself any good
either.
Therefore, if your child is
not in school, please see the
teachers and let them know
WHY he is not there.

Our quota reached Head-
quarters on time and when you
visit the Soldiers T. B. home
at Kerrville, you will find,
among the many Posts that
contributed, to this great cause,
“The Burt Fleming Post.”
Those Posts names will be on a
bronze tablet, in the Adminis-
tration building. There you
will find that the American Le-
gion here is doing their part
in helping those poor unfor-
tunate Buddies that contracted
the awful disease while fight-
ing to save our country.

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.
All were agreeably surprised
at the number who came
through the sleet to Sunday
school last Sunday. Let us
hope for a fine day and a house-
ful next Sunday.
Mr. T. J. Meredith is soon
to move away from Junction.
For years he has been a teacher
in our Sunday school. Almost
every session found him in his
place. He has studied the
scripture a great deal and loves i
mentioned contest was insti-
tuted.
One of the things that Junc-
tion High needs most at present
is CLASSIFICATION. As we
now stand, we do not even have
classification as a High School.
This is a sad state of affairs
and something that should he
remedied if at all possible. In
order to get classification, we
must meet certain requisites
prescribed by the State Depart-
ment of Education, among them
being a certain amount of
laboratory apparatus apd ap-
pliances and a certain number
of books in the library and for
the purpose of getting these
things, we are making this ef-
fort to secure these funds.

sibly can to bring a Box. Now

HEADING US OFF.
England is importing raw
materials from the United
States and is selling finished
products in Europe at prices
below those of this country,
thus building us a solid foun-
dation for the tuture trade of
that section of the world.
This fact alone shows the im-
perative necessity for a read-
justment of price conditions in
all of oqr lines of manufactures
and trade.

When everyone was bounti-
fully helped they filed into the
big living room around the fire-
place and we won’t say w’hat
happened there.
Afternoon there were two
interesting contests that you
had to rack your brain for the
answers and having finished
such a big dinner it was hard
to do. In the first contest
Mrs. Dr. Skaggs won first prize
a bottle of perfume and Mrs.
Omer Wright was consoled
with a package of peanuts.. In
the second contest Mrs. Douglas
Motley received the beautiful
silk handkershief and Mrs.
Blackston Smith the package of
chewing gum.
Mrs. Turk Kindrick and Mrs!*
Omer Wright were the new*
members enjoying the privilege
of the club that day.
Before the party w?as over
we had a business meeting and
it was decided that the club
would arrange a Thanksgiv-
ing Basket for the one’s in
need in the town that we were
sure would not have a Thanks-
giving dinner. Each member
can leave her donation at the
office of Dr. Skaggs, not later
than Wednesday morning be-
fore Thanksgiving. Mrs.
Ilolekamp and Mrs. Skaggs
are on the committee to in-
vestigate and deliver this bas-
ket.
Those present and enjoying
the entire day were:
Mrs. Blackston Smith, Mrs.
Doug Motley, Mrs. Olney Pat-
terson, Mrs. Hez Denman, Mrs.
Clay Secrest and daughter, Mrs.
Dr. Skaggs, Mrs. Carl Wolf,
Mrs. Turk Kindrick, Mrs. Louis
F. Boyle, Mrs. Omer Wright,
Mrs. Phillip Joseph, Mrs. Con-
rad Holekamp and Miss Winnie
‘ Keid.
The next regular meeting
! will be held at the home of
Mrs. John Kountz, Jr.

The following clipped from
Pennsylvania paper is self ex-
planitory: “The team is
poor.” Keogh remarked with
fervor today. “We have been
severely handicapped by in-
juries this season. First we
lost our star fullback, ‘Tex’
Hamer, a San Antonio lad, who
was operated on for appendi-
citis and then our regular qar-
ter-back, Dick Lavin, had his
j jaw broken in the game with
; Peddle Institute.”
j It’s the spirit of the boys
that pulls them through,” add-
; ed Dr. Keogh. “The lads are
in there fighting all the time.”
The back field has been hit
hard with the injuries to Ha-
i mer and Lavin, but still it is
' coming along nicely with a
I bunch of farly experienced ma-
i terial. All Junction will be
iglad to learn that “Toot” U

and will soon be able to be ^
