Ashland Post No. 14 has received
a communication from Weed Post
No. 71, of Weed, Calif., inviting our
attention to the fact that they are
going to stage a real celebration for
July Fourth this year. They state
that their celebration will be differ-
ent from the old drift of such cele-
brations. It is to be sane, attrac­
tive and instructive, in every detail
with special attractions of interest
to members of the American Legion,
More detailed information will be
given out at a later date. They are
very much in earnest in their en-
deavor for an extra good one this
year and have an extra good cause
for which the hope to raise some
funds with which to develop it. All
monies
will be
gained from the celebration
spent in the erection of a
children’s recreation park
in at­
tendance at this celebration, which
is most worthy indeed. A healthy
change from our time ridden cele-
brations would be greatly appreciat­
ed by all. Weed Post has our very
best wishes.

Editor.
The ex-service men and the Civil'
Service positions are pretty thorough­
ly dove-tailed together. There is 2
law in effect at this time that pro­
tects the ex-service man where his
work is good. We quote as follows:
“That in the event of reductions
being made in the force in any of
the executive departments, no hon­
orably discharged soldier or sailor
whose record in said department
is rated good, shall be discharged
or dropped, or reduced in rank of
salary.”
There is a pretty stiff little pen-
alty attached to the law for violators
of its provisions. which make it
scarcely worth while to attempt it.
• There is to be a special election
held on the seventh of next June,
(Juno 7, 1921), at which time it
will be decided by the people* of Ore­
gon whether the wish to have the ex-
service persons of this state paid a
bonus of $15 for each month of ser­
vice between the 6th of April. 1917,
and November 11th, 1919, and a
loan from the state for the purpose
