that has come about in many counties
in the southern and interior section of

most favorable attention. An effort has
been made in some quarters TO dctract
from Mr.. Cummins' services during Mo
war. Although married. over the draft
age, and holder OF a fed"ral position.
and one OF which was sufficient cause
for exemption, Mr.. Cummlns volunteer
ed his services TO the government, en-
listed in tho United States army. and
for nearly two years was absent from
his home, sacrificed his business and
gave his strength and his talents TO the
country's war work. While many
others did quite as much. the signlf
cameo OF Mr. Cummins' participation In
our war activities will not be under
estimated by thoughtful voters.
Mr.. Cummins Is abundantly qualified
to perform the duties or attorney Gen

FREIGHT CAR SHORTAGE

From all over the country come re-
ports that business is being seriously
hampered by the lack OF freight cars.
This is due as much to congestion and
lack OF adequate personnel and motive
power as to the actual deficiency in eN-
listing cars. Traffic Manager Townsend.
OF the National Tube Co. OF Pittsburgh.
Is quoted as saying that million
freight cars costing three billion dol
lars should be added to the railroad
equipment OF the country during the
next five years.
While it may be true. as railroad
men claim, that the present trouble is
more, a result Of the inability Of con-
signees to unload cars quickly than in
ability OF the roads to move cars. 1t cam
not be denied that the railroads require
an immense amount OF new rolling
stock But fuller use of the cars is also
pressing. President Loree figures that

called a Liberty Bond or Victory Note.
On this bond is stated the conditions
under whihc the government borrowed
the money from you.
For instance: If you hold n bond OF
the Third Liberty Loan. 1t states that
on April 18th and October Ism or each
Year until maturity. you will receive IN
tercst on the amount you paid for the
bond Other issues bear other rates or
interest and other maturity dates, all OF
which are clearly stated on the bond:

In tho meantime, tho price Is low on"

Hold the bond you bought during the

Buy as many more at the present low
rates as you can afford. If you hold

 Cleveland Convention.

Twenty thousand ex-service men. representing every state in the Union and far-on outposts where the Stars and Stripes flies. swung through the streets of Cleveland, O., in the great opening parade at the second annual convention of The American Legion.
 Leading the parade were hundreds of disabled veterans of the World war in automobiles, while behind them came 31 winners of the Congressional Medal of Honor. For two solid miles the sidewalks and stands were packed with cheering spectators as the vet erans passed in review.
 Frequent picturesque incidents served to lend color to the parade as the long column of olive-drab and navy blue tramped down the line of march Le Roy Williams. a Grand Army of the Republic veteran, who won the Con- gressional Medal of Honor at the bat of honor men and marched the entire route. A huge flag that stretched across the street, borne by Legion naires of Akron. O.. was showered with coins by the spectators until moro than $500 was in its folds.
 The delegates from Paris. Cuba. Pap anna. HaVaii, Porto Rico. Mexico and the Philippine islands. who had trav- eled thousands of miles to attend the convention. received c tremendous ova. ton from the crowd. Army nurses and former yeomanettes came in for their share of the applause, and . sensation was created by the Montana dslega- tiOn. which appeared in leather chaps. spurs and sOmbreros.
 More than 3O0.00O spectators viewed the parade. which was declared to be the greatest spectacle ever staged in Cleveland.

Praise of Principles Embodied In Message From Spanish War Vet
 crane and American Legion.

Recognition of the seniority of the Grand Army of the Republic among ex-service organizations and praise of It's principles are embodied in re- cent message from representatives of the United Spanish War Veterans and The American Legion.
 The statement, which Is signed by Thomas J. Cunningham of the United Spanish War Veterans. and Dr. T. Victor Keene of The American Le- zion, is as follows:
 "The representatives of the United Spanish War Veterans and The American Legion, appointed by their respective national commanders, ex- tend to you hearty greetings. At . joint meeting called by your past com mander-in-chief. Col. c. N. Adams, . declaration of principles was unani- mously adopted. It was agreed that one of our natiop's most valuable in- stitutions for the teaching of patriot ism has been the Grand Army cere- monies in many localities. and 1t was believed that a wider recognition by all of the national veteran groups in a formal manner of sthe opportunity SO afforded would result in mutual good and profit.
 "The younger veteran groups de- sire the Grand Army to clearly and definitely understand that we recog- nize their seniority, and hold the Grand Army. composed as 1t is of our fathers and grandfathers, in reverent affection. We hold it a splendid thing to be permitted to aid and help the Grand Army in its work during it's life; and when the Grand Army shall be no more. with the appreciation that all men who have seen service feel for brothers in arms. to continue the GUS. toms and honor the memory of the Grand Army as we will our own."
