session represented in the state's membership. Covering all of the United States and most of Mexico In his travels, Mr. Chapman settled down to the practice of law In New Mexico just before America entered the World war. When she did, he volunteered as a mechanic and chauffeur and spent two months In an army motor shop. Then he was transferred to a balloon school, but before he could get acquainted with i the blimps they moved him again, this time to the company’s personnel headquarters. He was in an officers’ training camp when the armistice came. Entering Legion work early, Mr. Chapman was u member of the comImittee which wrote the non-political clause into the organization’s constitution. He boils down his biography to this: “I am a member of the A F. & A. M„ B. P. O. E., and K. of P. I am an American by birth, training and inclination; an Episcopalian by faith and a prohibitionist by law. I sing, dance, play the piano and am married. What else could I ask?” TITLES OF SOME NOTABLES I General Douglas Haig, "Earl and i Field Marshal"; Beatty, "Ami. ral of the Fleet. ! — I Decorations and titles won by distinguished British and Canadian 'guests at the third annual convention [of the American Legion in Kansas | City, October 31, November 1 and 2, I are testimony of their notable records during the World war. General Douglas Haig bears the 'titles of earl and field marshal and has the right to use the following letters, indicating decorations, after his [name: “K. T., G. C. 8., O. M., G. C. V. JO., K. C. L E.” Admiral Beatty’s official designation lis “Admiral of the Fleet, the Right .Honorable Earl Beatty, G. C. 8., 10. M„ G. C. V. 0., D. S. 0.” ( The correct manner to address the (Commander of tiie Canadian corps in (France Is “Gen. Sir William Currie, G. O. M. G., K. 0. 8., K. C. M. G„ |C. 8., Principal of McGill university.” The participation of Great Britain and her dominions in President Harding's world conference on disarmament is believed by national convention officials to remove all doubts in iregard to the presence of the distlnIgulshed guests at the Legion national i convention. 'swale was a dishwasher [Commander of Legion’s Washington ( Department Licked Kitchen Bess, Then Took His Job. The story of how a fist fight made him a dish washer is told by Thomas W. Swale, com- ■ mander of the ' American Legion's Sp department of the y state of Washing- J * ■ton. , v While the down- K z * ■trodden bookkeeper of a Great \ | Northern con- , V st ruction gang, A Swale was cajoled into an encounter with the gang’s bully, who held the rank of camp cleanser of the pots and pans. The fight became rough, the bookkeeper knocked out the dish washer and the foreman forthwith made up for lack of personnel by assigning Swale to wash the dishes until the beaten kitchen mechanic could return from the hospital. After gaining an education. Swale, nt twenty-three years and 200 pounds, was the “baby of the Washington legislature,” serving for two terms. During the war he served in the army intelligence section in charge of I. W. W. investigations in the Pacific Northwest. He is a practicing lawyer in Seattle, Wash. The Verb Salvage. Tiie verb “to salvage” did not pass out of existence with the disbanding of the A. E. F. Its synonym, “to manage,” is still recognized as part of the language of Legionnaires. George R. Anderson post of the American Legion at Ardmore, Okla., recently “salvaged” a library of 2,000 volumes. As in the army days when anything from a mess kit to a five-ton truck might have been acquired mysteriously with the simple explanation “we managed for it” or the equally expressive “we salvaged it,” the post acquired the library. During the war the people of Ardmore had collected a large number of books to be shipped to army camps for use of soldiers. But after the volumes were collected and boxed they were never shipped. They were discovered recently in a storeroom by a member of the Legion post and it did not take long to salvage [them.

land and vice president of The Hague Conference in 1907. During seven years as mayor of The Hague van Karnebeek exhibited administrative qualities and diplomatic talents which brought him into line for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On? of the first nternatlonal complications with which he had to deal arose'from tho arrival of the ex-Kaiser Wilhelm in Holland just after the Armistice. Karnebeek never moved an inch from tho stand ' he took then—that Holland could do nothing but afford safe asylum to the German exEmperor—nothwlthstanding tho Morin of criticism in the i allied press. Van Karnebeek is now beyond question the most popular statesman in Holland. Dr. E. Moresco, tho second member of the delegation, has had a brilliant career in the Colonial service. In 1913 he went to Dutch East India as first secretary of the government, and in 1916 ho was made general secretary to the colonial department at The Hague. Recently he was appointed vice president of Council of India. Dr. Moresco is a Jew, his family many years ago having immigrated from Portugal on account of the racial tolerance in that country. » The third delegate, Dr. F. Beelaerts van Blokland, is an authority on the ’’ar East. As minister of the Dutch tovernment in Peking he was able to itudy at first hand, not only the probem of the Pacific but various probems in which China particularly is nvolved. BUYS TOGS IN INDIANA (United I’renM Service). Noblesville, Nov. 23 —This city is lavishing its pride on the rest of the world today. McKay Morris who plays the part of the Gopher Prairie [ medic Doc., Kennicott, in “Main Street” at the National Theater, New York, bought his third act bed room toggery here —all of it! As Morris was motoring through here with a friend he espied a pair of pink striped pajamas hanging in a store win dow. “There is Doc. Kennicott’s nighty,” he exclaimed as he slammed on the brakes. “Yes, and there’s his bath robe,” replied his friend. A treen spotted bath robe was decorating a charming wax figure with little blond mustache. Morris made these purchases and he found Noblesville so auspicious a costuming center 1 that he went to other stores on Main street and bought a suit, shoes —in fact everything he wears in the play. Thus—giMU. i» chtt«lory which has been thrust upon this city! monroenews John Ulerick of Fort Wayne, was here Monday on business. Fred Miller of Richmond, was in town Tuesday on business.

The Berne Lumber company at this place believes in improving. A force of carpenters are at work erecting three large coal bins and store room, making five bins. This was necessary on account of their increasing coal trade as their bin room has been inadequate for several years. Many improvements have been made at the Lumber yard and their premises represent a real metropolitan lumber and coal establishment, and adds much to the town as a business center. The second boys basketball team and the girls team of the high school met the Craigville first boys team and the girls team on the local grounds here Monday, and the local teams defeating the visitors by two hotly contested games, resulting in a victory of 14 to 7 in favor of the boys and 14 to 3in favor of the girls team. Both games were fast and many good points in the game was noticeable. This makes two games played by the local girls team this season, winning one and losing one.

However, many were glad to give thanks for what they did have on their table. The revival at the Methodist church is growing in interest, large crowds are in attendance each night and Rev. S. L.
