HELP THE LEGION FUND TONIGHT

BY ATTENDING LAWN SOCIAL AND HOME TALENT PLAY AT OPERA HOUSE. Tonight is American Legion night, the first of a series of events to be given by the Dewey Biggs Post through which they hope to secure sufficient funds to rent and furnish a hall for regular meetings. With the ultimate object in view of creating interest of such general nature that it may result in swelling their fund to such proportions that they may later on huild a. home of their own, the Legion members will start a campaign for financial assistance which will assure them of becoming a permanent chapter. The events which are carded for this evening in conjunction with the regular weekly band concert are a lawn social, to be held on the court house lawn, a dance on the lower floor of the court house and a home talent play entitled, “Uncle Dick’s Mistake/’ which will be given three times during the evening at the New Ellis theatre, beginning on the hour at eight, nine and ten. The Legion is being aided in their worthy movement by the Women’s Auxiliary to the Legion and Kappa Kappa Kappa. The Legion fund will be aided greatly through the generosity of the • Rensselaer business men who have agreed to give five per cent of their gross sales made during the day. By doing your trading today you are aiding a most worthy enterprise. o
