Eorerathers Had No l.uxuries.

People who complain because they
cannot get some of the little luxuries
they used to enjoy before the war
might do we'll to remember that their
forefathers lived without sugar till the
fourteenth century, without coal till
the fourteenth, butter on their
bread till the fifteenth, without to-
bacea and potatoes till the sixteenth,
without tea, coffee and soap till the
seventeenth, without umbrellas and
lamps till the eighteenth, and without
trains, kilograms, telephones. gas and
machines till the nineteenth.

SLAUGHTER BEACH

1t seems strange that people who
own lands devoid of improvements,
will not improve it themselves, or sell
it and let some one else do it. 1t is
worthless as it is. They can't see be-
yond the end of their nose. If they
would only think for a moment they
would find out that improvements
here would enhance the value of 9TH
er lands three-folds. 1t will take an
entire new deal to put Slaughter
Beach on the map as it should be.

one of the best behaved lot of people
ever assembled at the beach. The
writer never heard an oath uttered
during their stay. Two bands of mus
ic furnished the music during the day.
The young people enjoyed dancing
and other sports and had a general
good time.
The OdOr of decaying fish and king

.SURE YANK BONUS
WILL MATER|ALZE
House Members See Action
After Campaign-Commit-
tee Meets Tomorrow.

The republican members of the ways
and means committee are going to have
a conference tomorrow to consider
bonus legislation for former service
men. The members of the committee.
both republicans and democrats, feel
today that they can go no further with
respect to bonus legislation since the
House has so conspicuously shown It's
opposition to the bill which represented
the best Judgment of the majority on
the ways and means committee.
The republican members on the
| ways and means committee say that
those who stood forth as friends of
| the soldiers in insisting upon certain
forms of legislation have in reality
killed any prospect of a cash bonus.
and have probably made it possible
for the democrats to prevent any
bonus legislation until after the cleo
ton.
1t is the general feeling among
members in the House today that
there will not he any bonus legisla-
tion at this session. but that the for
mer service men will not suffer there
by. and that some benefit for them in
the future will be worked out more
acceptably when removed from the
political stress in which it has now
become involved
Want Question to Go Over.
Representative knutson of Minne-
sofa. the republican whip. said that
many members felt that the whole
question should go over until after
the November election, SO as to avoid
the possible injection of partisanship
in it's consideration.
Representative Garner of Texas.
democratic whip and member of the
ways and means committee, which
conducted extensive hearings on re-
lief legislation. declared sentiment
was rapidly changing" and that a
ma jority of the democratic members
of the committee were willing to let
the bill continue to sleep in COM
mittee.''
Much of the change in sentiment
members said. was due to the large
number of protests against increas-
ing tax burden and it's possible effect
on the cost of living.
