Fun Organization of Spanish American War Vets

I found this news article while researching a Vet in the local newspaper archives. Frankly, I've never heard of it and I thought Cooties was a strange name for a Veteran's group. It's dated January of 1934. Sorry it is not a better scan.

This article is referring to the Military Order of the Serpent and its auxiliary, the Military Order of the Lizard. The Military Order of the Cootie, as you may already know, is part of the V.F.W.
