CLEAN UP THAT BACK YARD
Matter of Importance That Does Not
Always Seem to Bo Given
Consideration.
At various seasons we women faith
fully scour our homes from attic to
cellar, and then stop at the back door
leading to the yard, which, after all,
Is a kind of outdoor room not alwaya
fully appreciated.
Many a woman most fastidious
where the house proper Is concerned
tolerates a surprising degree of untidi
ness In the back garden. Accumula
tions of house and garden trash are
not only eyesores, but positive men
aces to health. If you have been lux
in the past, get busy with broom and
bucket before the rubbish collectors
make their next round.
Dig Into the corners, particularly th
dark, damp angles under porch ot
shed. Let In the sunlight I Sunlight
Is the greatest purifier known. Get rid,
If possible, of the tall wooden fences
which often surround even tiny yurdH
Bcurcely big enough to stretch a sheet
across. Grass and flowers refuse to
grow In the rank shade, but snails and
microbes flourish amazingly. Let in
the health-giving sunshine; keep the
yard neut and you should worry uboul
the public gaze I
Let the children help In the work.
Hid them round up stray clothespins,
tin cans, old brooms and milk bottles.
Don't make a clothes-prop rack of the
lilac bush, nor a dishcloth drier of your
slirulis. Dig up lihinviin mill dandelion
weeds from the grass while digging U
good. It will be doubly hard Inter in
the hot sun when the roots are
stronger.
Dim't let tradesmen take short cuts
across your little grass plot, even if
you have to set up wire guards, which
are hrs unsightly than bald patches in
the crass. Don't let the withered flow

WHEN IN LOVE
A pest of the American Legion the
national organization of ex-service
men, in every county in the state of
Orepon by August 20 is the goal
which has been set by State Secre
tary Dow V. Walker, of Portland, in
an announcement to the press recent
ly. This means that Oregon with more
than ('9.000 prospective members of
the American Legion, will be well
organized by the state convention
planned for September. Already ap
plications for chapters have been for
warded to national headquarters at
New York from 16 local posts and as
many more will be sent from state
headquarters a5ain shortly.
In every county where t'aere is no
post as yet, one ex-service man is
being chosen by Mr. Walker as coun
ty organizer, whose duty will be to
see that former soldiers, sailors and
marines in his locality get together
as soon as possible. In counties where
there are already posts, the members
of the executive committee of the
post first organized In the county
are automatically designated a coun
ty committee to attend to the organ!
zation of other branches throughout
the county and the president of that
post becomes organizer.
In other words, the state organiza
tion is responsible for the organiza
tion of at least one post in every
county and members' of that post are
responsible for the development of
tha American Legion in other parts
of their county. Any town in which
there are fifteen ex-service men to
band together may form a local post
and make application to the head
quarters of the state committee. Lib
erty Temple, Portland, for a charter.
These applications are approved,
numbered nad sent to New York for
final approval and issuance by the
national committee of the American
Legion.
By August 20, a post in every j
county, and by August 30, a post in
every town or locality having furn
ished more than 100 men in the
world war, is the aim of Mr. Walker.
A membership drive throughout the
nation for 1,000,000 members, or
about 25 per cent of the service men
of the country, will be staged by the
American Legion in September, dur
ing which month the lOrogon state
convention will be held in Portland.
The national convention of the
neapolis on November 11, the anni
American Legion will be held in Min-
versary of the signing of the armis
tice.
