Utoosevelt, as is generally known, n
a member of the national executive
committee of the American legion
and one of the overseas officers who
visioncd the great after-war organiza
tion at the Paris caucus. The St.

committee, which has headquarters
at the Liberty Temple, Portland.
All that is necessary to start a post
of the American Legion is for 15 hon
orably discharged service men to get
together, elect temporary officers and
apply for a charter. Any ex-sorviee
man with a good record may appoint
himself organizer in his section of the
state if no post is heiijg started and
write to Secictary Walker for infor
mation as tq the proper procedure.

turned ovvr to State Treasurer Hoff

Where Seagulls Roost.
Sengiilts do not always roost on the'

places say that thousands of gulls
roost in trees on Hlg Duck, Little

In them ns well. The name Is true of
ninny other Islands along the Mnlno

I hereabouts have particular roosting
places on the water.
