Show Has Seventeen Members Population Only Ten There's an American Legion post at Bull Head, S. D., "Barney Brought" post, with a genealogy longer than a giraffe's neck. And speaking of necks, the forebears of members of the post have been cavorting around this neck o' the woods, lo, these past five centuries cen-turies and more. They're all full-blooded Sioux Indians, all 17 of them. Twelve of the 17 braves fought overseas over-seas in the World war, where they proved that the term "brave," as applied ap-plied to men of their blood, is no misnomer, mis-nomer, for several of them were cited for gallantry in action. The fourth dimension, perpetual motion, mo-tion, the music of the spheres had not been solved at this writing, but members of Barney Brought post had solved an equally puzzling phenomenon phenome-non in that they have pushed the membership mem-bership of the post to 17, although the total population of Bull Head is tes persons. The mystic necromancy ol their forefathers is not responsible foi the seemingly impossible In this case, but rather-the hard-riding expeditions far into the brush country which have yielded the members above par In membei'ship. Thomas C. Necklace, a member of the post, was recently elected department depart-ment historian, and when he isn't busy with the official duties of his office whiles away the leisure hours with Virgil, Shakespeare and Darwin; he is a Carlisle graduate. |
