sOLDIER,s TRAVEL PAY

Many soldiers appear not to know
that upder recent law they are en-
titled upon discharge to travel pay at
five cents mile from the place of
discharge to the place where they
were mustered into service or to their
place or residence. Many of them were
paid at the rate of only 3H cents a
mile and they are entitled now to the
additional " cents. If those having
these claims will send their discharge
certificates to me, I will take up their
case personally and press them for
early settlement. The discharge GER
tificate will be returned. Address me
at House of Representatives, Wash
ington, d. c..

A big coffee man OF Brazil was
astonished when he reached New York
the other day to find that our national
beverage was retailing at from 40
cents to rs cents a pound He said
coffee was not scarce. but that the yes
sci he came in was filled with it and
that every port in Brazil was piled
high with sacked coffee waiting for
shipment to the United States. The
4O-cent grade was retailing at 10
cents and the very best grades at 2
pounds for 25 cents in all parts of his
country. Some scoundre1 profiteers in
this country are piling up hugh for
tunes by robbing without stint the
poor man of his breakfast necessity.
Some of these coffee hogs ought to be
turned over to the I. w. w. for bomb
fodder. Jail is too soft place for
them.-Rooks County Record.
A company of Wa-Keenians have

'Virtuous Wives" Go West
Young Man" and 1.-THE Woman on
the Index" form a trio of films to
be shown at The Spencer Square
next week that will be hard to du-
plicate. Too BAD Horace Greeley isn't
here to see Tom Moore hit the
trail in 60 West Young Man"
There's stirring action when Tom
gets his Irish to working and rips
things up. Pauline Frederick is the
star in The Woman on The Index"
which comes Friday and Saturday
and in it she has splendid oppor-
tunities for the display of her won
derful dramatic talent. "Virtuous
Wives" which is booked for tomor-
row, Monday and Tuesday has Gre
ated a stir in the moving picture
world, firstly it marks Anita Stew
arts return TO the screen after
years absence; secondly because
the picture was adapted from Owen
Johnson's much discussed and
highly enjoyable story, and thirdly
because it has been one of the most
extensively advertised pictures of
the year.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-03-08

To begin with there is an unusu-
ally interesting story told with all
the force and appeal which can be
conveyed by fine regard for de-
tails and the directors knowledge
of his subject matter. George
Loane Tucker has manifested skill
and intelligence in his direction of
the picture. A certain strata OF so
ciety where the pastimes of wives
is to play with other men, and
where the husbands are too busy
piling fortunes to notice their
wives indiscretions, is ruthlessly
exposed with good arguments on
both sides as indications, but with
the men a little in the lead. The
virtuous wives are the ones who
are so in action but not in thought
the ones who have degenerated
morally under the glitter of fast
social existence

at Augustana gymnasium next Fri
day night.
On March first he played to a
capacity audience in the auditor
ium in Oklahoma City, and the
Oklahoman declared the following
morning that words were quite
inadequate to. describe the genius
of young Mr.. Heifetz. In Dallas.
Texas, and San Antonio, many

The coming appearance of this re-
markable artist has of course
aroused wide interest, probably
more than was ever the case before
with a violinfst. He has made
musical history in America as well
as Europe, and 1t Is not too ex-
travagant praise to say that his
recital here will eclipse IN artistic
perfection any violin concert ever
heard by the musical public.
Heifetz has two hobbies, movies
and racing cars. 1t is standing

will not SIT idle very long. He
insists upon being entertained and
such a thing as spending the eve
ming or the afternoon quietly in
the hotel is not to be thought of.
AS for the racing cars, Heifetz
Is determined to have nothing
slower than Ralph Dc Palma'e

to New York from the present con-
cert tour. He now owns q big

neck speed all last summer at

At the Black Hawk.

I'VE Can't Have Everything" is
the picture which will be dis
played at the Black Hawk theatre
tomorrow In the story of this
picture, Kedzie Thropp, a motion
picture star, q role portrayed by
Wanda Hawley, regrets that the
war occupies so much of her hus-
bands attention, because it spoils
her pleasures. The thought of the
sacrifice of life and everything
worth while to win the war for lib
erty and democracy never enters
her pretty head. She cares only
for herself and walks serenely
over the bodies Of her friends and
victims TO attain her end. A con-
trasting character Is that of char
ity. played by Kathlyn Williams,
who shows a nobility of character
that is hard to excel. The story is
by Rupert Hughes, and the photo
play was written by William c. De
Mile. Nothing that has been said
in praise of the offering can be re-
garded as over-emphatic. 1t is a
masterful work, q contemporary
story OF metropolitan life and one
that will set people thinking.

ESTABLISHMENT OF U. S.
 EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The es- tablishment of the United States Elm ployment Service as a bureau of the Department of Labor is the plan of Representative John l.. Nolan, of California in bill recently intro- duced.
 The general plan for the creation of the bureau follows mostly the plans already followed regarding other gov ernment bureaus except that the money to be appropriated for its maintenance is regulated by specific provisions. The bureau would be headed by director general to be ap- pointed by the president, with a woman as assistant director general to be appointed by the Secretary of Labor.
 The bureau would be charged with establishing and maintaining nation al system of employment offices for men, women and juniors who are le- gally qualified to engage in gainful occupations. A system of offices would be established in the several states so that opportunities for em- ployment would be published at the right places. One of the features of the service would be the clearing of labor between the states and the es- tablishment of uniform standards,

REPUBLICAN LEADERS PLAN
 CUTTING OF EXPENDITURES

WASHINGTON, June 24.-House and senate leaders are determined to do all possible to hold the appropria- tions which must be hurried through in the next several weeks down to the lowest practicable figures.
 While greater reductions could be made were it possible to devote two or three months to the bills, it is now certain that the cuts in expenditures will be large.
 The army appropriation bill, report ed recently from the house military committee, has been reduced by about $400,0O O0,000.
 The navy bill will be reduced be- low the figure at which it was report ed in the last congress.
 Other important reductions are to be made.

U. S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 AIDS SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

AS citizens of the United States we all are interested in obtaining jobs for our returning soldiers and sailors. Lacking the sentimental appeal, but of equal importance economically, is the problem of placing discharged war workers in peace employment.
 The United States Chamber of Commerce has made the announce ment, widely published, that it and it's constituent organizations will bear a still more active share in the work of locating these jobs.
 The United States Employment Service has been officially designated as the medium through which efforts to aid soldiers and war workers are co-ordinated and cleared. Besides its regular branch offices, it has estab- lished, with the help of welfare and community organizations, emergency bureaus for returning soldiers and sailors through which we all may work together. While the urgent de- ficiency bill failed of passage by the last Congress, the response of the country to the predicament in which the employment service and the sol diers' placement work were placed has been so cordial that the service is en- abled to continue almost at it's for mer scale until Congress provides.
 The War-Camp Community Service and the other welfare organizations, realizing that the best way to help a discharged fighter is to give him 2 suitable job, are working through the United States employment service and the soldiers bureaus; while the gov ernment departments and boards, rep resented in the emergency committee on employment recently organized by the council of national defense, are similarly united to assist this central agency.
