OUR DENVER BOYS FAREWELL
APPEAL.
My Creed.

I believe in the United States Of
America as a government of the peo-
pie. by the people, for the people
whose just powers are derived from
the consent of the governed; a democ-
racy in a republic; a sovereign Nation
of many sovereign states; perfect
Union. one and inseparable, estab-
lished upon those principles of free
dom, equality, justice and humanity
for which American patriots sacrificed
their lives and fortunes.
1 therefore believe it is my duty
to my country to love it; to support
its Constitution; to obey its laws; to
respect its flag; and to defend it
Cgt.inst all enemies. l go to fight for
my country and l trust that those
who remain behind will be as true as
we who have gone. If do not return

Bass l.ured by BRIGHT lioht.

Here is fish story based on an oc-
currence at PontooSuc lake, in Maine
a pair of bullhead fishermen were in
a boat anchored some distance off
Broadway and it was quite dark. An
other boat with two men in it an
chored short distance. away and the
men began fishing. The first fish to be
caught was Il small rock bass. "Give
me that fish," said the other. 1t was
handed to him by the one who caught
1t and he threw 1t at one of the men
in the other boat, whom he knew. The
fish whizzed by this mans head and
landed in the boat, on the bottom of
which was a lighted lantern. "Gosh"
said the one who had nearly been hit,
''where did that come from?" II don't
know" replied his companion. ut

Evils of Eye FATIGUE.

Many nervous as well as other dis

consideration in connection with our
health and happiness. Eye fatigue
spoils the disposition; as that is one
of the conditions given for inefficient
work we find here cause for more
loss of the workman's time. When

PAYMENTS CUT,
NOT DELAYED
War Risk Bureau Resents
Charge Office Work
Is Neglected.

Following close on the heels Of
scathing Congressional criticism Of
the War Risk Insurance Bureau for
delays in paying aliotmenUs and
family allowances to soldiers de-
pendents, it developed yesterday
that, instead of being delayed. 10
600 such payments have been cut
of.
In defense of the bureau. it is
explained the government makes
no payment of allowances unless
two conditions exist. One is that
the beneticiaries are dependent
upon the soldier in whole sor IN
part for support. The other Is that
previous to entering the service the
enlisted man habitually contributed
a stated amount monthly to their
support.
Cases DisalIowed.
A case in psfnt is that of a boy
who stated that he contributed S25
a month to his mother. He allotted
SIS and asked that an allowance Of
$40 a month be made to her. In
vestigation showed his mother is a
widow and is employed at a salary
of s1.400 a year The Bureau ruled
that in this case she was not a de-
pendent and cancelled the $40 al
lowance.
Another investigation revealed
that a woman receiving an aHot-
ment was the wife of a man who
drew a salary of $500 a year.
Sweeping denial of charges on the
floor of the House that many of the
14,GO employees of the bureau did
not average a real days work a week
was made. Tribute was paid to the
loyal and patriotic clerks, who in
many cases have worked day and
night and have given up their vaca-
ton leave
Another criticism had to do with
unopened mail. The bureau chiefs de-
clare no letter remains in the Office
more than a few hours before being
read. and replies are sent as promptly
as possible. Nearly 5000 pieces of
mail are received at the bureau daily.
