AMERICAN LEGION
 AIDS SERVICE MEN
Establishes Branch to Care for
 War Risk Insurance

One of the most important activi- tlonal organization of American veter- ans of the World war; is the war risk division which has been created at na- tional headquarters, New York, to ren- der prompt and efficient service to SOL diers, sailors and marines in matters of war risk insurance allotments and family allowances, compensation and service pay.
 More than four million men who were members of the military and naval forces between April 6, 1917, and November II, 1918, took out war risk insurance. Many of these men or their dependents are now entitled to cOmpenSa tlOn. To all veterans the government offers the opportunity to convert thelr insurance row, or at any tlmc within the next five years.
 The American Legion realizes that the majority of the men who are en- titled to the privileges of the war risk insurance act will need expert and dis interested advice on their own indi- vidual cases. At the St. Louis meet Ing of the Legion the delegates pledged the Legion to a campaign of sound education and widespread ac- tivlty, in order that the rights, priv ileges, and benefits of the insurance act might be conserved and that men discharged from the service might be made to realize their rights under this act.
 To this end each state organiza tion in the American Legion has desgnat- ed a war risk insurance officer who will be prepared to handle promptly and with expert knowledge all cases which have been referred> to local posts for advice and action. Many of the local posts have obtained the vol untary services of a member who is ia miliar with the financial regulations relating to national service so that missteps may be avoided.

IN MEMORY OF LITTLE JANE
By Mrs. Theodore Holmes

There grew in beautiful garden
Roses of various hue;
Some were stained with rain drops,
Some fresh with the morning dew
In the midst of that beautiful garden
Was a bud of purest white;
God saw it, and sent His angel
At the dawn of the morning light
@
She plucked this tiny rose bud
(Too pure for the light of day.
And folded it in her bosom
And tenderly bore it away.
And now, in that heavenly garden
Twill ope nits petals of white
And bloom in all it's beauty
With never a stain nor blight.
This radiant bud of beauty
To earth for while was given,
But He gathered it ere its blooming
"For such is the Kingdom OF
Heaven"

GOVERNMENT BULLETIN
ON HOUSEFLY MENACE

The U. S. Public Health Service
has just issued an illustrated 1920
poster calling attention, in a striking
manner, to the dangers of the com
mon huse fly and explaining the best
methods of destroying them.
In the center of the poster there is
a vivid Axe picture of fly, showing
clearly the thousands of little hairs
nits body, wings and legs, which
! serve so readily to collect and carry
the disease-breeding filth which makes
this insect so dangerous to humanity.
Smaller pictures show larger numbers
of flies swarming about outhouses,
garbage pals, cuspidors, etc., and fly
ing thence to the bed of sleeping
infant where they drag their nasty
feet over its sweet innocent face, be-
foul the nipple of it's nursing bottle,
and then go from the child to the
DINING room where the food and
dishes are contaminated with filth
and disease germs.
The poster also contains the fol-
lowing information and suggestions
which we fell are worthy of the con-
sideration of everyone just at this
time, in order that there may be eff
fective cooperation in the spring
campaign for the determination of a
pest that annually causes the entire
ly preventable loss of more lives
than the total number of our casual
ties from all causes in the World War :
"The house fly is little insect but
a great spreader of disease.
"Kill flies and save lives.
Thousand of people die every year
from diseases transmitted by flies.
the most common of these diseases
are typhoid fever, diarrhoea, dysen-
terry, tuberculosis, anthrax, and chol-
era.
"To rid a town of flies, everybody
must do his bit.
"There are many kinds of flies
ALL HARMFUL.
'Flies bred in filth, feed on it, live
in it, and contaminate everything
they lay their hairy little legs on.
at is a good thing to swat, trap,
or poison flies, but it is still better
to prevent their breeding:
BY keeping stables clean.
By removing all manure at least
twice a week.
BY keeping garbage in recptacles,
with close fitting covers, which should
be emptied and washed frequently
By building only f1y-proof sanl-
tary privies when sewers are not
available.
''The time to begin a campaign
against flies is before any have been
seen in March or in April of each
year.
"A PAID OF FLIES BORN IN
APRIL MAY GIVE ORIGIN TO
MILLIONS BY AUGUST. DO NOT
LET THESE MILLIONS COME IN
TO EXISTENCE KEEP THE FIRST
PAIR FROM BREEDING.
"Street cleanliness and immediate
destruction of all filth are the best
measures against flies.
"Outhouses, homes, markets, baker
les. and all food establishments should
be screened against flies.
'REMEMBER: NO FILTH, NO
FLIES, LESS DISEASE.

STRONG FEATURE AT
 THE COLISEUM TONIGHT

Tonight at the Coliseum a strong Metro feature, in five acts, entitled the "Stolen Triumph" will be the attraction.
 It deals with the story of man v..s ,5 gifted, though poor, and his struggles to make a name for himself, A very creditable play written by him is stolen by chum of his, who produces it under an other name and makes lot of money thereby. The steal is ef- fected in a very underhand way.
 Stephen, Hunt, the authors chum, is given the play for production. Hunt, who is a poor playwright but a good manager, had promised his wife to produce a great play, and sees his opportunity to succeed by producing the play written by his poor friend, changing it's title and taking the credit for writing it him self.
 The poor author meets with hard luck and leaves for other parts after the death of his wife. The thief, out of pity, adopts the au- thor's son, Years roll on, and the poor author returns to the scenes of his earlier struggles, reclams his son, and the events Following the measure of the just punishment meted out to Hunt makes this d gripping story and one well worth seeing.
 Popular prices will prevail, the general admission being 25 cents. with reserved seats at 50 cents.

 On reaching Kaltag next day they learned they would have to under go quarantine again. The doctor at Nulato was apprised by wire of their arrival and they were given an old dsused cabin in which they were held for eleven days.

 While in quarantine at Kaltag the boys patched, using the heater in the cabin they occupied for cook ing purposes, there being no stove.

A very largely attended and thoroughly enjoyable party was given by the ladies of the local Red Cross yesterday afternoon, in honor of Mrs. J. R. Bowen, who had been the chairman of the local Red Cross during the past year.

a master criminal as a barrier behind
which he might hide and beat back his
pursuers. But American boys and
English boys and French boys broke
down that barrier, and they have to-
day arraigned that criminal at the
worlds bar Of justice, where he is be-
ing tried for his crimes. The Ameri-
can people are a part of the jury that
is trying him, and l have tried to pre-
sent but a small fraction of the evil
dence against him.
1t is safe to say that the verdict may
be left with the American people, with
the French people, with the English
people, with the Belgian people, and
that they will sentence the Boche to
pay and pay and pay for several gen.
erations until there has been bred out
of him and his children that idea that
might is right and that he can over
throw the civilization and the free
dom of the world to crafty his own
selfish purposes.
The crime is greater than the Boche
can ever pay for. 1t is really greater
than the world will ever know, and the
items in the long account Of the crilui-
nal record OF Germany will never all
be recorded.
