While the American Legion is interested in everything affecting the welfare of America, it has wisely adopted as a rule ana guide of action with every worthy exist- ing agency in all that it has to do, and the setting np of no special agency unless that is vitally necessary. Community Service of its fundamental obligations is service to community, state and nation. This is: being wonderfully net Over half of our more than 11,000 posts are rendering Invaluable service in their communities. Gradually. but surely, the posts are coming to realize that they should not become active or vocal on other than weal questions without the submission of views in due course to the state and national organizations, so that the voice of the Legion shall be a strong voice, expressing . mature ideas and not emotional ' outbursts of well enthusiasm.

Many attending the meeting after the last note of taps was sounded left with tears in their eyes. But not so with little Mrs. Wm. A. Listen, Gold Star mother, of Caliente, Nevada, who oumeyed to Ogden to see her son onored so impressively for giving his life to his country. Among the names on memorial tablet is the name of Alfred P. Listen, her son. This Gold Star mother lingered after the meeting with her daughter, Mrs. Geo. D. Knauss, in front of the tablet, gazing with fixed but tearful eyes at the name of their ion and brother on the tablet sorry, but proud, that her boy had died for his country. She with other Gold Star mothers were then taken by automobile to a reception for the Gold Star mothers in Ogden. Many will remember Alfred Listen in Ogden. Before the war he waa employed by the Washington market All present at the services were requested to face toward West where our fallen dead are said. to have departed.
