The News has been criticized two li
or three times recently because of
its giving the Legion so much space
each week. This is a civic organiza
tion which is devoting itself to the
interests of the public, as well as its
own members and ex-service men.
The Legion does not recognize rank,
race or creed, and is ready to lend
its support at all times to any worthy
undertaking. Its efforts to raise
funds for the purpose of continuing
its chaiitable work, its promotion of |
athletics, and the care of ex-service
men of all wars, is often criticized,
but— oh well. Some folks just nat
urally have to “knock” something,
and it probably hurts the Legion less
than any organization in existence.

A lady customer of ours held receipt for taxes
paid. Tax collector was attempting to collect
again. The lady had paid her taxes at the First
State Bank. The First State Bank was able to
show that the tax collector received the money
for the lady’s taxes along with that for other
taxes all in one check; that if part were paid,
all were paid.
