YoUNTvILLE HOME
Must Receive State Money or Be
Abandoned

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Ex-Governor
Budd, Attorney General Fitzgerald,
Controller Colgan, President Loupe and
Attorney w. H. Jordan of the Veterans
Home association met today to consider
whether the $4,000 appropriated to the
home by the state should be paid to the
Yountville institution or not.
The question was whether the Veter-
ans Home association could convey the
property to the state when there was a
doubt whether the state could receive
and maintain it as state institution.
The federal allowance to the home is
contingent upon the one from the state,
and if one is withdrawn the other cannot
be paid. The entire matter was referred
to the attorney general, and whatever
he recommends the governor says he will
indOrse.

Some thirty odd years ago Tom
Barr had beans for dinner. He was
doing some pretty hard marching on
that day, and did not have time to
eat all OF the beans. So he put three
into his knapsaek and forgot all about
them until six years ago when he
found them and planted them to see
what would happen. The result was
a good sized hand full of beans. He
planted these the next year and
promised the Grand Army lodge
enough beans for supper every year.
The bean weevil got the beans but
that did not prevent the old soldiers
from having a supper every year.
Last Wednesday night they had the
