LEGION AND BONUS.

There is going to be a conference OF American
Legion officers soon in Cleveland, O. The South
Carolina department OF the legion convention
a Spartanburg the other day instructed its dele
gates their efforts at the conference to
obtain Reputation of the bonus program
Evidently there is going to be warm debate
this bonus question. The program urged
congress has been that of the national executive
committee. The committee has maintained all along
that it had the support OF the big majority of mem
bers of the legion though apparently referendum
taken. There seems to be growing dissalisfac
ton with the plan among legion members and
there is also said TO be much opposition
members, who outnumber the legionares. The whole
question will probably be threshed out and a future
policy adopted.
The public is keenly interested in the proceed
ings, because the issue is not only of national
honor but that goes home to the rocketbook Of
every citizen. If it develops that bonus is really
desired by the majority of service men, the nation
may be expected TO acquesce, matter what hard
ships it may entail But there will certainly be

two of service men are opposed to it or Indifferent

Except when days are chill.

Beware Of eating bread,
