Rock Island, Dec. l2.-Editof The
Argus: A great majority Of people.
Il seems TO me. are forgetting there
are church services and bible
classes these days. They are too
busy with al service and fads,
especially sith the modern
American 81. al.
Attention should be paid more to
the ten commandments. The auto
mobile has changed times greatly.
Parents used to 60 to church and
take their children to Sunday
school, but now a great number OF
them instead take an auto ride or q
promenade on Sunday morning.
Children should be in some Sunday
school on Sunday morning instead
of running the streets, and ! believe
there would not be 50 much crime
among the youths of the cities so
prevalent these days. Tie bible
should be taught in the schools and
children taught to love 1t and put
Christ first in all things, leaving out
the frivolous things in life.
Wear simple clothes to church
and eliminate the fads and the
dance. What the world needs more
today is Christ. :.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April IA
Congresmen who have been chatting
under the belief that they were not
getting a square deal in the public
mind due to snap judgment because
the so-oalled soldiers bonus" has
not been passed are endeavoring to
Justify their position while the an
nual pensions Appropriation bill is un-
der debate in the house.
Former Speaker Joseph G.. Can
non, who is chairman of the sub-com-
mittee in charge of the pension bill,
IN reporting this measure for the first
time marshalled into one startling ar
ray all the appropriations for the ben
eft Of the veterans Of all the wars,
showing that Uncle Sam is already
obligated to spend something like
$732, 100000 during the next year
in soldier relief work. He empha
sizes this by comparing II with the
total Of all expenses Of the govern
ment for the fiscal year 1916, which
was $724,492, ,999.
The pension bill carries an appro-
priation Of 100000 Reprcsen-
tative Cannon, in speaking on this
measure. pointed out that the Fuller
bill to increase Civil War pensions,
and the Sells bill to pension Spanish
war and Philippine insurrection vet
Grams. both of which have already
passed the house, would add respect
lively $65,000.000 and Si2,500, 900,
making total of 100000.
The maintenance of national sol
diers' homes costs Uncle Sam So
900. and state and territorial sol
diers' homes add another million dol
lars.
Representative Cannon and other
speeches on the pension bill seem to
think that pension legislation and
pension expenditures by any other
name are pension expenditures just
the same. and so they have added tc
the pension total certain other larg,
items for the care of veterans from
the world war.
The bureau of war risk insurance
estimates that the amount required
for compensation for death and dis
ability during the fiscal year 1921
including care Of the insane. medica
examinations, artificial limbs. etc
will be $l97,s65, 500. They point ou
that the bureau of war risk insur
ance is doing for the world war veter
ans the same sort of service that tn,
pension bureau has been doing for
the survivors of all other wars. Il

ONION SEED YIELD
In CANARIES SMALL
Paintings Last Year Fifty Per
Cent Smaller Than the
Year Previous

Concerning the Canary Island onion
seed crop. Consul Frank Anderson
Henry Of Tenefiffe writes in the
Daily Consular and Trades Reports
as follows:
Present indications point TO small
yield Of onion seed in the Canary
Islands during 1920. This crop H. of
particular interest in that from 50 10
90 per cent of il is exported TO the
United States. This crop is planted
in November and harvested in June,
July and August The greater part
Of each years production is con-
tracted for in advance with American
seedsmen. Ii is grown principally on
the island of Teneriffe, though small
amounts are raised on La Palma, Co.
mera and Hero.
According to exporting interests.
paintings last fall were smaller By so
per cent than the year before and the
crop will consequently be the smallest
in many years. This was due to two
causes: First. the American market
was well supplied with seed in 1919.
and seedsmen postponed selling their
contracts; second. onions for planting
were 500 per cent higher in price than
usual. which made the prospective
profits from an onion seed crop an
extremely speculative proposition. II
il too soon 10 form any reliable opin-
ion as to the prospects of the crop
now in the ground, as March and
April are critical months.
Exports of onion seed 10 the United
States during the past two years have
been as follows: 1918 94.045 pounds.
valued at $99.O36; 1919 69.592
pounds. valued at $74.245. The ex-
ports to Porto Rico we're: 1918 3l44
pounds, value at s2741; 1919 2O3S
pounds, valued at S2341.
