AUXILIARY OF LEGION MAKES BIG CAMPAIGN Two Weeks Before Christmas See Many New Members. Four times more paid-up members in at national headquarters for the new year than there were on Christmas day last year, is the Christmas present the American Legion A-uxl-liary enjoyed this year, according to announcement made by Mrs. Lucy Boyd, national secretary. “The two weeks preceding Christmas were big ones for the Auxiliary’s membership campaign,” declared Mrs. Boyd. "During those two weeks the cards poured into national headquarters in suoh volume that a check-up revealed four times as many members on our books this year at Christmas as were paid-up last year at that time.” Work for Cups Considerable Impetus has been given the pro-January membership effort of the .Auxiliary this year by departments striving to win two new national cups awarded for early membership effort. Mrs. O. D. Ollphant, of Trenton, N. J„ Past National President, has {given a cup to that department with more than a thousand members which enrolls the greatest percentage of paid-up membership from the time of closing of the national convention to Jan. 1. Mrs. R. L. Hoyal of Douglas, Arizona, has given a cup to be awarded to that Auxiliary department with less than a thousand members enrolling the greatest peregentage of paid-up members from the time of the national convention to Jan. 1. Leading Departments The ten leading departments in paid-up membership at national headquarters on Deo. 20, was as follows 1A order: New York, Flf rtda, Minnesota, Kansas, Indiana, I*ennsylvania, lowa, Oregon, Rhode Island and Arkansas. Florida, famous as a winner of national trophies awarded by The American Legion, is leading the Auxiliary for the Ollphant trophy.

WEATHER FOR YEAR NORMAL But There Were Plenty of Ups and Downs. The average weather, rainfall and temperature for 1925 was Just about normal, but that doesn't tell the story, according to J. EL Armington, local United States weather prophet. For Instance, rainfall was way below normal until the middle of the summer, almost resulting in burning up crops. Then came one of wettest autumns ever known in Indiana. September was one of the.hottest Hooslers have ever been called on to endure. October was one of the coldest wettest Octobers. January was the driest January the State ever saw. In the latter part of May the mercury fell forty-four degrees in one day, resulting In a killing frost. Thirteen days later, on June 6, Indlanspolis was sweltering in a heat overcome on the streets. The thermometer also showed 98 above cm July 2. These two days were the hottest In 1925. On Sunday, Deo. 27, at 6 am., came the coldest weather of the year, with a mark of 7 below zero. The average rainfall is about forty-one inches. In the year Just ending, about forty Inches rain fell. Average snowfall is twenty-five inches, hut 1925 was short, only getting eighteen inches. An eighty-five mile wind visited Indianapolis in July, accompanied by a deluge, causing great damage. A tornado swept in from the west over southern Indiana, killing and Injuring hundreds, and causing a SIO,OOO property loss. Figures show that 1925 was Just about a normal year, taking it by averages.
