AMERICAN LEGION
The American Legion of Oklaho-
a stood in seventh place during
1921 in point of expansion of organi-
zation among all the states, accord-
tig to information received here to
day from Lemuel Bolles of Indiana-
polis, national adjutant.
Starting the year with 205 posts
the state executive committee of
the Legon approved the applications
of 48 communities for the establish-
ment of new units. The state was
only twelve new posts behind first
place in the United States. In mem-
bership at the close of the year the
state was at the highest point in the
history of the organization.
As the result of membership cam-
paigns in the various posts 1,213
members were added in the week
ending January 7, nearly as many
as during the entire month of Jan
uary last year. Erick and Billings
were placed on the honor roll dur-
ing the week for increasing the
membeship for 1922 from 10 to 100
percent above the 1(>21 record.
The Legion began 1922 with
754 posts in forty-eight states-
territorial possessions and twenty
foreign countries. During the past
twelve months 778 posts were organ-
ized. Eleven of the posts organized
in 1921 were outside the United
States. They were scattered from
Vensuela to Turkey
