Soldiers Bonus Legislation in Congress

ALL chance of the passage of SOL
"A diers' bonus legislation next win
ter seems to have gone ~glimmering.
Failure of the party platforms to de-
clare for the proposition seems . to
have destroyed all hopes of favorable
action by congress.
Supporters of the bonus bill had
relied implicitly on the political con-
ventions taking a stand or the sub
ject. They had gone on the theory
that political pressure from the ex-
service men would be so strong that
both parties would be sure to declare
for some form of adjusted compensa-
ton.
The soldiers bonus bill as passed by
the house a week before the recent adj
journment is pending in the senate
committee on finance. The committee
has given the bill no consideration and
may prefer to allow it to slumber
without action during the coming ses-
sion. Officers of the American Legion,
however, are certain to agitate and
probably will force the committee to
report the bill to the floor of the en-
ate.
Even in case the bill in some mirac-
ulouS should get through the

Nobody Seems to Want MacGregor Ross

WHAT to do with MacGregor Ross
w has become an international
question, for negotiations are in prog
ress between the United States and
Great Britain over the Ellis Island
prisoner. England does not want him,
the United States cannot prove he was
born i'm Scotland, and Ross is very
candid to say that he himself cannot
remember where he was born. 1t is
charged that he is a member of the
Industrial Workers of the World. He
has been very active in its affairs on
the Pacific coast, and has been ordered
deported as an undesirable alien.
To the federal authorities in Seat
tie Ross name sounded so Scotch
that they arrested him with So aliens
and sent him to Ellis Island. Though
he claims the United States is his a
tive land, there are no records to
prove it.
Ross's earliest recollection is of SELL
ing papers on the Bowery in 1864,
when he was about 10 years old. He
remembers driving a canal team in
Pennsylvania and of going west later.

Baseball Expert Expects Young

Joe Villa, q New York baseball ex.
pert, says that if young Waite Hoyt
takes good care of his right arm and
continues to learn the weak points of
American league batsmen he soon
may be the greatest pitcher in base
ball. Four years ago Hoyt, who now
is &c, was a Brooklyn ~Sci1oolboy, also
a natural curve artist. Anxious to be-
come a professional, he visited Eb-
bets Field on several occasions and
surprised the big leaguers with his
display of skill.
A Giant scout saw Hoyt warn up
n afternoon and told McGraw, who
asked the %youngster to report at the
Polo grounds. Hoyt made such a ia
vorable impression on McGraw that he
was signed to a private contract, and
a year later he was sent to a minor
league team. Making little Roadway
among the small fry, the boy finally
drifted out of McGraw's control and
was temporarily forgotten.
Last summer the Boston Red Sox
unearthed Hoyt and he jumped into

Originally the cost was fixed about
$1.75 a day. Then it was given out

man and Won FEELS fighting desperately
for the hand of Crete Felsner, a pretty
Dresden actress.
Hartman and the young woma were
secretly engaged when Won Fels came
upon the scene. He paid court so
openly that a quarrel between the two
men followed. Won Fels, an expert
duelist, challenged Hartman and the
challenge was accepted.
The girl, realizing that her fance
would have little chance for his life
in an ordinary duel, and knowing him
20 be an expert aviator, proposed a
novel departure from the usual field
of honor-a duel in the air. The idea
met with instant favor and the Sec
onds arranged for details for the first
aerial duel.
The duel was to be fought at an al
titude of 5000 feet, the contestants fir
ing through their propellers until one
was downed. The first time the ma
chimes came within range of each
other, neither aviator was harmed. The
Fokkers turned and again dashed at
each other and this time Won Fels' ma
chine crashed to the earth.
An inquiry was instituted and is still
III progress. The affair was so baf-
fingly novel that the military jurists
are in a Quandary. The young woman,
who was the of the duel, left
the town hurriedly and Hartman was
cheated, temporarily, at least, of the
prize for which he had risked his life.

erS of Western Canada.
Will Get Above 40 Cents Over the
Fixed Scale Set-World Looking
to the Dominion for Its
Grain.

It will be of interest to many read.
ers to learn that their farmer friends
In Canada will do so well out of the
prairies last year.
There was a fixed price Of $2.15 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
o n.
Not knowing the price at which II
would be possible to market the crop,
the Canadian grain board, which or
ganization handled the whole Of the
crop last summer, fixed $2.15 as a min
imum price for No. 1 wheat, and ar
ranged that each farmer should be
given certificates for the quantity of
wheat he delivered. Tie amount re-
ceiyed over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
selling their wheat was to be divided
pro rata at the end of the season, and
the holders of these certificates will,
therefore, participate in the extra
price received according to the guam
tity Of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
a bushel over the fixed rate of $2.15 a
bushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about $40.000,00 0 will
be distributed among the farmers of
| Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference in
the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the price that was fixed for
last seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat In Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
at between So and So per bushel, was
made recently before q conference of
western supporters Of the government
by DR.. Robert Magill, who was one of
a deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued in ia
vor of open trading from the aspect
of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
STA owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
none to export, India was prohibiting
export, while Australians acreage
would fall from 100000 to 100000.
The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
ly no wheat for Europe, except from
the Argentine and North America.
DR.. Magill, according to formal an
nouncement, though it would be i'm.
| possible to secure as good a price for
the producer by control as by the
| open market. The United States mar.
ket was now open, and, according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little to spare from that quar-.
ter. The net result would be that Ca
