The comrades all know that the post is required to pay a Department Per capita fee on each member, and that it requires money to relieve the needy veterans, pay rent occasionally eat.  Hence the necessity of regularity in paying dues.  The good soldiers never shirks his duty.  It is the wish of all, that we shall stick together, an unbroken band, while we pass down the hill of life.
