Sweet Bill, Now Awaiting
Presidents Signature,
Confers Many Benefits
on Disabled Veterans
Congress Is Expected to
Take Up Bonus Issue
at Once; Notes of New
York City Legionnaires

An indication Of the important part
me voice of the American Legion is to
olav in the framing of the national
legislation having to do with the well
Fare of the former service man and
woman is found in the prompt action
taken by Congress last week after its
members had conferred with the Le-
rion's national commander and ma
tional executive committee.
On Monday the representatives of
the Legion arrived in Washington and
had their first of series of discus
sicns with committee members from
Congress In keeping with the legis-
lative program adopted at Minneapo-
lis, the Legionnaires made it plain that
their first duty was to safeguard the
welfare of disabled veterans. Congress
accented this view without question,
and on Thursday the Senate passed the
Sweet bill, which materially increases
war risk insurance payments. Few
amendments were made, and the House
readily concurred in them, so that on
Saturday night the measure was finally
adopted and turned over to President
Wilson for his signature.
Briefly, the welcome increases for
dssbled veterans are:
If the disabled person has neither
wife nor child living, $50 a month in
stead of $50, as at present.
II he has wife. but no children liv-
lrg. 500 instead Of S45
lt he has wife and one child. $95
instead Of sos
II he has q wife and two or more
children living, sl00 instead Of SOS.
If he has no wife, but one child liv-
ing, 500, with S5 for each additional
child instead of $40 and $40 for each
additional child.
The Sweet bill also awards $4,000 in
surance to the family or estate of
every man attached to the United
States naval collier Cyclops, which
mysteriously disappeared on March 4,
1918. No trace of the vessel or her
crew has ever been found.
The bill enlarges the war risk insur-
snce restrictions so that uncles, aunts.
nephews. nieces, brothers-in-law and
sisters-in-law can be made beneficiaries
Of government insurance in thesfuture
The passage of the Sweet bill has
great significance for the members of
the Legion. 1t means that the national
legislative bodies recognize the organi-
zation as the official spokesman for all
veterans and viii subscribe to any rec
ommendation it makes within reason.
The Sweet bill was acted upon. first,
because 1t was considered most impor-
tant by the veterans themselves, but
other reforms indorsed by the Mime
apolls convention, including the much
discussed bonus issue, will be acted
upon without delay

SMALL TRACTS THAT ARE WORTH MUCH

, Virginia, Idaho, for four pure bred
gifts that cost $3.50 each, delivered
in Blackfoot. He selects all his
breeding animals with view OF
keeping the herd pure and progress
siye. He has pure bred, registered
male for service and the sales from
his stock hogs are very profitable.
Last fall he sold seven short-yearl-
ings for $40.55 each and last month
sold ten May pigs that brought him
$4,000. Mr.. Heusser says they
raise these hogs chiefly on skinned
milk and roughage. The skinned
milk is the by-product of the dairy
and what he receveis from the sale
of stock hogs he does not consider
costs him much to produce. His
cream sales amount to about $40 per
day and all these things make en-
Fl ?yment for himself and family
right at home. The family lives we'll,
both because they are doing some
thing that is profitable and because
they are producing food stuffs of the
very best there is. They have con-
siderable orchard on the place and
are setting some ever-baring rasp-
berries so they can have raspberries
and cream in season. Mr.. Heusser
is planting an acre of mangle-
wurtzels for the cows, as well as
couple Of acres of corn. He is care
full to raise those things on the farm
that will furnish plenty of feed for
the chickens, COWS and hogs and he
provides plenty of shelter as we'll as
plenty of food for all of them. He
says the good boarders among the
animals are the ones that pay the
profit. Mr.. Heusser is not at all in
sympathy with the Arkansas traveller
who listened to the lecture on how
to grow hogs quickly and brought
out the idea of rushing the hogs to
develope them to full size in a short
time. The Arkansas man is quoted
as having said, What does time
amount to to hawg?" Mr.. Heusser
urges people to remember that capt.
tal invested in hogs should be turned
for different reasons. BY keeping
the hogs growing rapidly they pro-
duce better pork than the hog like
the Arkansas man raised, that took
a long time to grow.

Albert Heusser lives on the w. A.

ago without much capital and has
been gaining steadily ever since his
arrival. He operates little dairy
along with the industry of chicken
and hog raising. He bought the
Younie place year or so ago. There
are thirty-three acres in the farm and
he paid $4,000 for it on the install
ment plan. There is a nice two
story, stone dwelling on the land and
a stone barn. Mrs. Younie had
charge of the place and she said she
had observed that men who handle
COWS nearly always succeed, and
man who handles cows, chickens and
pigs, she considered a very good
risk, so she was satisfied to sell on
the installment plan. Since that

sell the place for cash, but she said
she was satisfied to go along on the
installment plan so long as Mr..
Heusser was trying and especially
