Legion Notes and Local Baseball Trip Announced
Regular monthly Legion meeting set for Thursday June 12 at 5 00 pm. Bonus applications should ship to western states first to improve approval odds. The next meeting will discuss filling out application blanks. A law suit by a prominent eastern attorney tests the Bonus law but War Dept and Veterans Bureau have not paused it. The cash provision appears sidelined. Congress adjournment may remove it. Local team manager Dr H C Hollenbeck says the baseball squad will travel to Sheldon on Sunday June 15 with Lefty Riley to pitch and Earl Hayden catching. The team aims to improve their 500 percent record in the next game.
