The Terrible Future.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm terribly worried about the fu-
ture."
"Why fret about the future?"
"It's this way: I'm not making very
much money. I'm just going along the
ordinary way without piling up any-
thing that looks like a fortune."
"Well, why worry? You're happy,
aren't you?"
"Yes, I'm happy enough now, but
twenty or thirty years from now, when
the record of this age Is written, what
shall I say to my children when they
ask me what I was doing when every-
body else was getting rich?"
MAN IS AFTER INFORMATION
After Listening to Much Sage Advice,
Bill Jones Wants One Matter
Cleared Up.
Our friend Bill .Tones Is a traveling
man and needs rest, but unfortunate-
ly he doesn't sleep well. He has con-
sulted a number of doctors in the vari-
ous towns he visits, and being a sys-
tematic person has made a sort of
digest of the advice he has received.
It sums up as follows:
Don't sleep on your left side, as
that creates a pressure on the heart.
Don't sleep on your right side, as
It interferes with the action of the
right lung.
Don't sleep on your back, as that Is
bad for the nervous system.
Don't sleep on your stomach, as that
causes a pressure bad for the diges-
tion.
Don't sleep in a chair, as the body
cannot properly relax.
Bill wants to know if any one can
tell him how to keep from falling over
when he sleeps standing up.
Scared Them Off.
"Tomorrow's my birthday," said the
man in the trench coat," "and I shall
get the usual very welcome box of
cigars from my wife."
"Welcome?" Jeered his friend. "I'll
bet you throw them away!"
"Not much! I give them to my
friends. They remember the horror,
and later when I offer them a cigar
that's really good they decline. I tell
you, my wife's gift means dollars in
my pocket every year."—Stray Stories.
Most of the movements to right the
wrongs of the people stop after the
first parade disperses.
How the average woman does abuse
her husband—and how he does deserve
It!
Color to Show Denominations.
The treasury department at Wash-
ington is now working on a proposi-
tion to mark bills of various denomi-
nations with a standardized colored
seal, so that anyone can recognize
notes of different denominations at a
glance. The plan, suggested by a Phil-
adelphia druggist, is to have a col-
ored seal in one corner of the bill, for
instance, a green seal for a one, a pink
seal for a two. a blue seal for a five,
ind so on. Treasury officials, how-
ever, dislike the idea of using different
dyes.
Too Literal.
"Did you hear about the deface-
ment of Mr. Skinner's tombstone?"
asked Mr. Jones a few days after the
funeral of that eminent captain of in-
dustry.
"No, what was It?" inquired the
neighbor, curiously.
"Some one added the word 'friends'
to the epitaph.
"What was the epitaph?"
" 'He did his best.* "
A Difference.
"I understood there were scandal-
ous goings on at the party last night."
Oh, no, grandma; the young folks
merely Indulged in some osculatory
diversions."
"Well, that was all right, but that
rascally Jimmy told me you were all
playing kissing games."
Advice to pugilists—when In doubt
put on the gloves.

Organization Disposes of Claims and
Interest Amounting to $44,768.60
During Month of April.
Long-standing debts aggregating
$33,005 and accrued interest amount-
ing to $11,703.00
were paid off by
the Amerlcun Le-
gion during the
month of April,
according to a
financial state-
ment recently is-
sued by llobert
H. Tyndail, na-
tional treasurer
of the organiza-
tion.
The statement,
which sets forth
the financial
status of the Le-
gion as of April
80,1920, marks nn Important step In the
history of the 15-months-old body. It
stunds as conclusive evidence that the
Initial expenditure of some $257,000
which the Legion borrowed prior to
the Minneapolis convention for use In
building up a solid, permanent organi-
zation on a firm basis, was wisely
made.
"When the Idea of a Legion was
first conceived and its founders be-
gan putting into execution their plans
for making it the vast reality it riow
Is," said Mr. Tyndail, '"they found
they needed money, just as in the case
of any new association or enterprise.
All business men know that every new
enterprise must sustain an initial loss
to be liquidated Inter over a period of
time after the body becomes a suc-
cess.
"To initiate the organization plan,
some 200 friends of the Legion Indi-
vidually guaranteed 92 separate loans,
aggregating $257,000, secured by their
personal notes. The money was bor-
rowed on these notes throughout the
country on a basis of apportionment
according to federal reserve bank dis-
tricts. The loan is a legal debt, ac-
knowledged by the Legion at Its na-
tional convention, and constitutes an
ordinary, normal business transaction.
The notes bear interest and every
penny of Interest and principal will
be paid off Just as fast as our present
stable resources warrant.
"Today, the best evidence that the
money was wisely expended Is found
In the fact that the American Legion
Is definitely established as a complete-
ly organized body. That active man-
agement of its affairs is In the hands
of a national executive committee
composed of representatives from ev-
ery state in the Union shows that the
organization is a sound one.
"It is due entirely to the able efforts
of those in charge of the early organi-
zation work, who raised the money
and expended it in a business-like
way, that the Legion is now able to
pay off these debts In substantial
sums.
''National headquarters of the Le-
gion receives no financial support ex-
cept from dues and sale of emblems,
excluding, of course, the $400,000 trust
fund given to the Legion by the Y.
M. C. A. This money, which probably
will be increased to $500,000 after the
final audit of the Y. M. C. A. canteen
account, will be invested in safe secur-y
ltles pending the formal appointment
of the Fletcher American National
Bank of Indianapolis as trustee, the
executive committee of the Legion hav-
ing decided that the sum be held in
trust for a period of five years. The
principal, under this plan, is to be
invested and re-Invested, the Income
to be used for the benefit of disabled
ex-service men or for work in con-
nection with the National Americanism
Commission of the American Legion,
the donors having expressed this pref-
erence."
PAID-UP MEMBERSHIP COUNTS
Delegatea to Conventiona Are Choaen
on the Baala of Number In Good
Standing.
Figures at National headquartera of
the American Legion show a vast num-
ber of posts throughout the country
have enrolled considerably In excess
of their present actual paid-up mem-
bership. Delegates from posts to the
state conventions, and from states to
the national convention are chosen on
the basis of paid-up membership, with-
out regard to enrollment.
The state legislature of Massachu-
setts has enacted a law prohibiting the
wearing of the Legion insignia hy any
save actual bona fide members of the
organization, which Is construed aa
barring those whose membership has
been allowed to lapse, from enjoying
this privilege. Individual Logiotinaircs
are being urged to «hslst in prevent-
ing the wearing of the Legion button
by persons who are not paid-up Legion
members.

been held. The dates of the others,
and places where held, are given in the

HAD RUSH OF ORDERS IN MAY
NEW HAMPSHIRE IS IN LEAD
Department Shows Gain of 6,000 Mem-
bers During American Legion
Week; Nebraska Second.
In a letter forwarded to all depart-
ments of the American Legion recent-
ly, Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant,
annonnces that standings of states in
the Legion "membership push" will be
determined ou the basis ofreturns at
national headquarters'1 up to the close
of business Juue 13.
Incomplete reports from various
parts of the country indicate that the
New Hampshire department with a
gain of 6,000 new members during the
American Legion week, having so far
enrolled the largest percentage of eli-
gibles In its state, is leadiug all oth-
ers. Nebraska is second, Massachu-
setts third and California fourth in
the race at present It Is estimated
that the grand total of new members
gathered in during the entire cam-
paign will be nearly half a million.
Telegrams arriving at national head-
quarters during the last few days show
that In comparatively few Instances
have all posts in any state reported
their totals of oew members gained,
and It Is believed the winning depart-
meut will not be definitely known un-
til after June 15.
Demand for Memorial Day Supplies
Taxed Legion Department; Fourth
of July Warning.
"Don't shoot the pianist—he's doing
the best he can."
"Treat the undertaker kindly—you
may be buried yourself some day."
These, together with various and
sundry kindred admonitions might
constitute a seemingly appropriate In-
troduction to this pathetic narrative.
It deals with the plight of certain dis-
tracted Individuals at national bead-
quarters of the American Legion. Aside
from Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant,
who has been swamped so often that
he's getting used to it, this unfortu-
nate had to read and answer more
telegrams and letters in May than all
other members of the headquarters'
staff combined. And the reason is
this:
Between May 1 and May 25 the fol-
lowing orders, among others, nil for de-
livery by May 30, poured in like a
barrage on the emblem division, of
which the hero of our tale has charge:
2,158 grave markers.
368 silk United States flags.
128 wool post flags.
90 wool United States flags.
Result, some 3,200 separate and dis-
tinct "rush" orders, Including almost
innumerable demands for buttons,
pins, badges, rings, watch-fobs, auto
radiator decorations and whatnots.
So, at last in tones that moved his
colleagues to tears, the martyr sent
out this "S. O. S.":
"Please tell all posts and buddies,**
he sighed, "that they'll either have to
order the stuff they want for July
Fourth earlier than they did their Me-
morial day paraphernalia, or I'll drop
dead in the midst of the rush and gum
up the whole works. Please tell 'em
to have a heart; decide now on what
they want and write about It This
will make it possible for the factory
to get the orders out on time and save
the expenses of 'steen hundred tele-
grams."
