Abraham Lincoln. Worthiest of Worthy Causes Local Folk Are Asked to Assist the American Legion Before every thinking resident of Klam ath county, regardless of the degree of af fluence he has attained, there looms a question worthy of his most earnest consideration. It is the move to secure money with which to complete the American Legion memorial building soon to rise in Klamath Falls. This problem has not been considered lightly. The public, commonly, does not favor concentrated action with a view to se curing funds for any cause which chances to' present itself. It is believed that, frequently, these cw-called "drives" are a mistake and that, on occasion, the donations made are not spent wisely. In the present instance, however, Klamath Falls has net been faced by any such "drive." In consequence, it remains for local folk to contribute vhat they can, that the city may benefit from Ce c::-3oldiers contributions. The word is used advisedly. Most of the money already has been raised by legion men and they have been unselfish to the extreme. For a building which will materially benefit virtually every family in Klamath Falls, they Tequest local citizens to provide but a small amount. The people should pause for a moment and consider the benefits which will attach to the erection of such a structure as the legion fav ors. At the present time, there is no gym nasium in the city; no place where the youth of the city and county may compete in games, so essential to the welfare of growing boys. In the city is no auditorium of sufficient size to house a crowd interested in the considera tion of a question of general interest.. The new structure would boast a gym nasium where the Boy Scouts and students of the high school could engage in such athletics as basketball and handball. It would take care of a sizable gathering when an auditor ium proved necessary. Please remember this: in virtually every city of the size of Klamath Falls, business men, professional men and working men have in terested themselves in vhat is commonly call-, ed the "big brother" movement a movement of older men to associate with, and attempt to solve the problems of, the coming generation. The results, authorities say, have been grati fying. What organization, it is asked, would be better suited to help in such a movement than the American Legion? And, answering this question, The News will say it believes there is none. The American Legion, offering Klamath ;county something very much worthwhile, is waiting for its citizens to decide whether they shall co-operate. And the American Legion will not wait in vain. It would seem that New York citizens should know by this time that the only way to get more subways is to dig for them.-San Antonio News. On to Washington!

Ho plunged his hand into his pocket and was somewhat shocked upon encountering the fist of a fat fellow-passenger. "Aha!" snorted the latter. "I caught you that time!" "Leggo!" snarled the little man. "Leggo my hand." "Pickpocket!" hissed the fat man. "Scoundrel!" retorted the little one. Just then a tall man In their vi cinity glanced up from his news paper. "I'd like to get off here." he drawled, "if yotl fellows don't mind taking your bauds out of my pocket." ,Whlle campaigns In Iowa "Uncle Joe" Cannon was once ln veglcd Into visiting t lie public schools of a town where he was billed to speak.
