When oar Uncle Ebenezor. who Is
county super5ntendent OF the Sunday
observance league announced that
he meant 90 spend the weekend with
us. we were deeply disturbed
We aren't exactly Sunday viola
tors That is we are seldom rough
or even boisterous in our Sunday
pursuits. But 4 usually spend the
morning taking down she screens,
or cleaning out the furnace or thinks
erine with the car. All these things
need doing. and now they couldn't
br done
The Boss was more troubled than
I was She had invited some people
for dinner and as she was sure
Uncle Ebenezer would never APP
prove Of entertainment on Sunday
she had 90 call them up and tell
them tho children had the chicken
pOX This was not true, but the
emergency was great.
Then there was always the chance
that one If the neighbOrs would
drop in in the morning n the
weather was pleasant and ask me
90 join foursOme at golf or to
suggest that there might be a little
game .n the evening. I provided
for that contingency by putting the
front door bell out Of commission.
Uncle Ebenezer arrived late Sat
urday night He had a document
case with him, and a pre- occupied
air. The first thing he asked was
81 the post office was open on Sun
day.

said. "and expect tomorrow 20 meet
some OF my cO-workers who live in
your town. I trust il Will not in
convenience YOU IN the least. We as
sured him that It would not. Uncle
Ebenezer is rich. and is the god
father Of our eldest child.
He WAS mp before we were in the
morning. and appeared TO be con-
siderabiy fused because breakfast
was not ready.
II really have a great deal TO do, 4"
ne said I'VE are TO hold "a meeting

great deal Of matter i'm the mails

REGOUETS STORY
OF FIGHTING BY
SECOND DIVISION
Major General Harbord Re
cords Activities of First
Combat Force.

CAMP TRAVIS, San Antonio, Tex,
Dec. 24.-An account OF the fighting
of the second division. which hurled
the Germans back ia their drive on
Paris in 1918. has recently been
written by Maj. Gen. James G.. Har-
bord, its present commander, who
served with the division in France
The second division was recently Sc
lected by the war department as the
only com bat division in the army TO
be maintained at full strength and is
being filled with recruits from all
parts of the United States. Gen. Har-
lord says IN part:
NO official records can tell the
story of the division as II is written
in the memories of the men who
fought with II in those balve days.
The divisions first victory was that
midnight raid OF 500 Germans which
attacked the ninth infantry on April
10. 191S.
And that night of Memorial day
in 1918. when in lovely Normandy
the division was under orders 20
march on May 81 toward Beauyais
TO relieve the first division and at s
o'clock received orders TO embark at

duty northeast Of Paris where the
Germans had pushed down through
scissors toward Chateau Thierry.

carrying our men toward the enemy d?
Town after town was passed and the
change in the manner of the peo-
pie strikingly indicated the approach
TO the front. In fair Normandy they
welcomed our men with flowers; IN
Paris they cheered them; but as long
as conveys neared Meaux the anxiety
and depression OF the people was re-
fccted in the altered department OF
The soldiers and when they began 70
PASS long columns Of terrified refu-
gees, there was not more singing or
cheering. Faces became stern, and
hands frightened on rifles as the dis
tant rumbling of German artillery
began TO be heard in the east.
THE official record says nothing
OF that night on the road near May
en-. Multien when there was no one
faced toward the northeast and the
Germans except our men disembark-
ing from their trucks in the dark
ness, and the boche planes were
dropping their bombs along the
crowded highway. The writer well
remembers the relief on the face of
the gallant French general, De
goutte. on the morning of June .
when the first reports reached him Of
the arrival Of our men. For 40 days
the division fought there.

The total ordinary receipts of $6,- 694 000 900 for the fiscal year 1920 ex- ceeded those for 1919 by S1,542, 100000. while the total net ordinary expenditures decrease frcm $1S,514, 900, 900 to s6, ,403,- ooo, 900. The gross public debt which reached it's highest point on August 31, 1919, when it was $26,596, ,000,000 had dropped on Nov. 30, 1929 to S24,175, ,000, 0e0 There has also been a marked de- crease in holdings of government war se- curities by the banking institutions of the country, as well as in the amount of bills held by the federal reserve banks secured by government war obligations. This fortunate result has relieved the banks and left them freer to finance the ! needs of agriculture, industry and com i rnerce 1t has been due in large part to 1 the reduction of the public debt, espe- ICldliy Ol iile hOdtlIiS OCOt- bhl lllOAe Del = | ticularly to the improved distribution of l government securities among permanent 1 investors The cessation of the govern ments borrowings except through short ! term certificates of indebtedness had been ] matter of great consequence to the peo- pie of the country at large as well as tC | holders of Liberty bonds and Victory notes, and has had an important bearins on the matter of effective credit control

 About Treatment of Disabled Veterans


 It is my privilege to draw the atten- ton Of congress for very sympathetic con- slderatlon of the problem of providing adequate facilities for the care and treat ment of former members of the military and naval forces who are sick or disabl- ed as the result of their participation in the war. These heroic men can never be paid in money for the survice they patriotically rendered the na lion Their reward will lie rather in realization of the fact that they vindicated the rights of their country and aided in safeguard- ing civilization. The nations gratitude must be effectively revea ed to them by the most ample provision for their medic Il care and treatment as well as for their vocational training and placement. The time has come when a more complete program can be formulated and more sat isfactorily administered for their treat ment and training and I earnestly urge that the congress give the matter its early consideration. Ike secretary oi the treasury and the board of voca tiona education will outline in their annual re- ports proposals covering medical care an6 | rehabilitation, which I am sure will en- gage your earnest study and command your most generous support.
 Urged in His Previous Messages Permit me to emphasize once more the need for action upon certain matters 1 upon which I dwelt at some lclgth in m, message to the second session of the 66tl l congress. The necessity for example O encouraging the manufacture of dye stuffs and related chemicals the import ance of doing everything possible to pro mote agricultural production along econ omic lines, to improve agricultural al mar | keting and to make rural life more at tractive and healthful; the need for a lay regulating cold storage in such a way a to limit the time during which goods,m ma! be kept in storage, prescribing the meth I cd of disposing of them if kept beyond tn permitted period and reqviring goods re leased from storage in all cases to bea the date of thier receipt.

duced to the lowest amount which will permit the various services to operate. efficiently and that government receipts from taxes and salvage be maintained sufficiently high to provide for current requirements, including interest and sink ing fund charges on the public debt and part of the Victory loan before maturity
 With rigid economy, vigorous salvage operations and adequate revenues from taxation, surplus of current receipts over expenditures can be realized and should be applied to the floating debt. All branches of the government should | cooperate to see that this program is re- alized
 Necessity of Economy
 T cannot over-empnasize the necessity l of economy in government appropriations | and expenditures and the avoidance by | the congress of practices which take money from the treasury by indefinite or revolving fund appropriations. The es- 1 inmates for the present year show that l over billion dollars of expenditures ] were authorized by the last congress in addition to the amounts shown in the i usual compiled statements of appropri- l ations.
 l This strildngly illustrates the irn- portance of making direct and specific appropriations. The relation between the
 current receipts and current expenditures 1 of the government during the present l fiscal yearsas well as during the last fis- ] cal year. as well as during the last fis- cal year, has been disturbed by the ex- traordinary burdens thrown upon the re- turn of the railroads to private control | Over $500, 900 has already been paiC | to the railroads under this act-s35O
 00o,000 during the present fiscal year and it is estimated that further paymen aggregating possibly s650,OO0.000 stil must be paid to the railroads during tn,
 current year. It is obvious that thes
 large payment have already scriousl,
 limited the governments congress in re tiring the floating debt.
 Revision of Tax Laws Advocated
 Closely connected with this, it seem
 to me. is the necessity for an immediat
 consideration of the revision of our ta, = laws. Sinplifcation of the income an Il profit taxes has become an immediate ne l cessity. These taxes performed an indiS 2 pensable service. during the war. Tn
 need for their sinap9fcation, however s is very great in order to save the tax Y payer inconvenience ~and expense and
