Bonus Bills
[From The American Legio
Weekly.1


Weekly.l =
Thirty-six bonus bills have been
introduced in Congress. They are
nearly as different in their provi-
sions as they are numerous NJ
doubt others will be added. Many
OF them may have originated in a
sincere desire to aid the man who
was in service. There are evidences
that others We're designed for no finer
purpose than to distribute among
constituents for political effect,
without any thought that they would
be enacted into law. Otherwise how
explain the existence of several
bonus bills that would bankrupt the
country.
Committee hearings are not NOV
ing swiftly in the matter Sincere
congressman are anxious to learn
the crystalized sentiment of the
men who were in service. Do the
majority of them want a cash
bonus? Or do they favor a con-
structive bonus such as aid in build
ing homes, in gaining education, in
securing farms. in learning trade
or profession? Or does a combination
offer a solution?
The issue is q large one. As a
problem in equity 1t is without pre-
cedent It is one upon which le-
gion members must give careful
thought. for their attitude. when ex-
pressed at the Minneapolis conven-
ton, will prove one of the determin-
ing factors in final legislation on the
subject.

INTEREST IN HOGS
 IS INCREASING

In Mississippi, the number of hogs has increased 56 per cent in four years. Seventeen counties in south east Alabama last year shipped over 2,300 cars of hogs. Like stories of the great expansion in hog production come from all parts of the South, | from Virginia to Texas. Shapely Durocs, Poland -Chinas, Berkshires and Hampshires are replacing the razor-backs and good feeding and care are coming to be recognized as essen tials in profitable hog production.
 All of this expansion and develop ment is nothing but natural for the fact Is that the south is probably bet ter suited to hog raising than any other part of the United States. Our mild climate and long growing sea- sons make possible the production of a wide variety of crops for hog feed ing, and the cheapness with which these crops may be grown almost in sures cheap pork production. During the next ten years we expect to see in the South still greater expan- sion of the hog g-raising industry, for prices promise to remain good, and even when prices fall, the Southern hog grower who follows the right methods can remain in the business and prosper longer than the man in the north possibly can.

MUCH INTEREST is MANIFEST


Yesterday morning the Pembroke
saloonists, T. E. Dougherty and j. W.
Barger and Mr.. Ragsdale were ar
raigned before County Judge Cham
plain on twelve warrants charged
with selling liquor without license.
Mr.. o. H. Anderson was the attor-
ney for the defense and S. D. Fruit,
Fowler and White and S. Y. Trimble
for the Commonwealth.
The commonwealth introduced evil
dence against t. E. Dougherty to
show that liquor was sold to various
persons without license. The defen-
dant did not deny selling the liquor
and claimed that the act of the Board
of Trustees of the City of Pembroke
in revoking the license was illegal and
also that revelation of the license by
the County Judge was illegal.
After the evidence of the Common
wealth had ben introduced the at
torney for the defense move the court
to give the jury peremptory instruc-
tions to fine the defendants. The
motion was overruled by the court.
The defendant, T. E. Dougherty,
was then Introduced and testified
that he was doing business in Penn
broke, He exhibited his license from
the national government, his state IL
cense and his license from the town
of Pembroke.
He also showed a notice he had
served on the Board of Trustees of
the town of Pembroke, revoking au-
thOrity to cancel his license.
The defendant admitted that he
had signed the agreement to close his
saloon on April 1st, but denied that
the agreement was binding.
Mr.. E. B. Ledford, chairman of the
Board of Trustees, of the town of
Pembroke, testified that the defend
ant was notified that he could
receive his money back when he had
his license.
In rebuttal Mr.. G. B. Powell, cUun-
ty Court Clerk, was introduced.
The case is attracting widespread
attention and many spectators are

MEET
IN PADUCAH
Greatest Conclay On May 3Oth In
History of State.

Between 1000 and 5000 people
from dozen states are expected to
flock to Paducah on May 80, Decora-
tion Day., when the order of the Mys-
tic Shrine viii hold the greatest con.
clave in the history of Kentucky fra
ternal orders.
Preparations are being made by
Paducah Shriners for the entertain.
ment of at least 1000 visitors on the
"Big Day." If plans now contem-
plated mature, the number will be
increased almost to 5000 by dele
cations from Nashville and Memphis,
Tenn, and from Chicago, Evansville,
and Louisville. Every city of any
Importance with a 500-mile radius
which boasts Shrine Temple will
send representatives-in most in
stances, a solid contigent of their en-
tire membership.
Elias j, Jacoby, of Indianapolis,
Imperial Potentate of the lodge of
Shriners, and the biggest man in Ma
sonry in North America, will come to
Paducah for the big assembly.
The coming of Potentate Jacoby,
announced today by local Shrine
leaders, is the most important event
that has ever been heralded by Shrin-
ers in this city, and is an announce
ment of the most national interest.
Paducah is the smallest city in the
United States that has ever been hon
ored with a visit from the supreme
ruler of Shriners, at any conclave.
A year ago, Potentate Jacoby attend
ed conclave in Louisville. His de-
cision to come to the Paducah assem-
bly, was a happy surprise to members
of the fraternity throughout this Sec
tion, and elaborate preparations will
be made for his entertainment. Po-
tentate Jacoby's presence here means
that the Paducah concalve May 20
will eclipse any convention of Shrin-
ers ever held in the State, and in
point of numbers and variety and
elaboration of entertainment and
amusement, will outdo any conven-
tion of any kind ever staged in Ken
tucky.-Paducah Evening Sun.

Death List Grows.

Dallas, Tex, April 11.-One hum
dred known dead had been listed as
victims of the tornado which struck
Northern Texas, Southern Oklahoma
and parts of Arkansas when order be-
gan to form from the chaos caused
by the storm.
The injured, some of them so badly
hurt that they cannot recover, are
expected to number several hundred.
The property damage, while it will
run into several thousands of dollars,
will be smaller than at first expect
ed, since the path of the storm avoid
ed all the principal cities, striking on
ly farm houses and smaller villages.
Last night the homeless were cared
for by their neighbors. The storm in
its erratic course did not deyastate-
any entire regions, often leaving sew
eral houses untouched and then dip
ping in and demolishing the next few
homes. The temperature dropped to
freezing along the northern line of
counties after the storm.
The counties most seriously dam
aged were Grayson, Fannin, Hunt,
Wood, Van Zandt, Wichita, Collin,
Camp and Titus in Texas and Bryan,
Cotton and Pontotoc in Oklahoma,
The oil fields of Wichita county and
of Southern Oklahoma suffered hum
dreds of thousands of dollars dam
age in wrecked derricks and machin-
cry.
The hour at which the storm struck
probably caused the high death rate.
Nearly all of the houses destroyed
contained sleeping people. In most
cases the first the occupants heard
of the storm was when the walls
crashed down upon their beds.

MYSTERIOUS KNOCKING
AT MADISONVILLE HOME
Has Created Much Concern Among
Residents of Town.

Great excitement has been caused
among the residents of Madisonville
by the curious happening at the home
of John Clayton, on Mill street, which
occur when the family retire for the
night, says the Hustler. The strange
feature of it all is, that the noise,
which consists of knocking on the
side of the house, does not commenre
until Miss Nevaline Clayton, aged IA
retires.
Different melodies have been sung
by the family when the noise COM
menced and the knocking on the side
of the house was in time with the
music.
Another strange thing about the
noise is, it happens every other night.
While. several members of the family
we're i'll recently the knocking ceased
until they had recovered.
Several citizens went to the Clay
ton home Saturday night equipped
with flashlights. and made an effort
to solve the mystery. They failed to
do SO after a thorough investigation
of the house and premises.
One man in. the party stated that
he believed Miss Nevaline Clayton
possessed supernatural powers.
