Speaking of ex-service men and
uniforms, look at Canada. When her
soldiers were discharged, they were
given their uniforms with no strings
tied to them. They were also given
"a bonus Of $500 for every private SOL
der, and every man who wanted to
settle on farm was given full help
in money. tools and land. American
statesmen and journalistic in COM
Portable circumstances, and all prob
ably tax dodgers TO the best of their
|ability-have said that il would not dc
tic give the ex-service man a bonus,
that he would spend it foolishly and
cause a panic. About thirty million
PEOPLE in this country, none of whom
did any fighting, and not any more
work than they had to, have had more
than $500 bonus great number have
had two or three thousand dollars
bonus, and have spent IL foo1ishly, and
there has been no panic. America
has q dozen able-bodied men TO Can

ada's one; but America hasn't the
faith in and justice for the best oil

SHOULD PAY HONOR
TO THE DEAD SOLDIER

When the body of Virgil Randall
passes thru 0cala on it's way 20 its
last resting place beside the Okla
waha, it should be given the honor due
a Marion county boy who gave his
ell for his country.
As many of our people as possible
should meet the remains at the sta
ton and as many as can should escort
them TO the Randall home at Conner.
As the cortege passes through the
|city the firebell should be tolled.
An escort from the American Le-
gion will be present at the funeral and
render military honors TO their dead
|comrade, and all the soldiers and rela-
tiyes of soldiers in the county who
lean do so should attend.
It is not known when the remains
will arrive. The Star will try to givt
notice, and if it's time lis too short
people will be notified by telephone
and messengers.
Interment may be made in Green
wood, in which event the funera
should be attended by hundreds of oul
people.

Believes Government Will Put Approval on Bankhead High
 way Very Soon

J. A. Rountree, director general of the Bankhead highway, has returned from San Diego. where the government convoy reached it's destination October 3. MT. Rountree will spend some time in Birmingham writing hIs official report. upon completion of which he will go to Washington to meet Major Franklin and the army observers and make a final report on the highway and the work of the transcontinental highway.
 The reports will doubtless favor the highway and will urge that the govern ment take it over as military govern ment road
 Speaking of the arrival of the convoy in San Diego, the San Diego Union of Oc- tober says:
 ''The army convoy, 9 officers, 162 en- listed men and 70 motor vehicles, ranging from motorcycles to trucks of twelve tons weight, reached the outskirts of San Diego yesterday afternoon, shortly before 2 o'clock. The army caravan, the first to proceed with its own transportation across the continent to the Pacific coast since the days of the Mexican war, had
 covered nearly $500 miles of roads of every description, following the line of the proposed Rankhead southern high way across the United States, and was greeted in this city by what officers ana men alike characterized as the finest re- ception accorded their tour across the continent
 The men of the army train caught their first glimpse of the Pacific ocean tht goal of IT days of steady travelling in the face of difficulties at times almost shortly before noon as they reached the mesa land two miles beyond East San Diego As a token of esteem Mir. Rountree was presented at San Diego with handsome loving cup. He believes the trip to have been a marked success, and has demon- strated that the Bankhead highway is a feasible route the year around.

PROGRESSIVE MAN
 WANTED BY PEOPLE FOR NEXT PRESIDENT
w. J. Adams Predicts Demo- cratic Victory - Praises Governor Cox for Wag-
 ing Great Fight

Governor James M. Cox, the next President of the United States, will be elected to that office by a vote of the ma jority of the people whose com mon sense always tells them to do the right thing"
 This is the firm belief of W. J. Adams, who says he sincerely hopes that the people at the coming election will out vote tha radicals and others who have been misled into believing that Senator Harding should be the next President of the United States.
 T have always been keenly interest ed in politics" says MT. Adams, "and I firmly believe that success will crown the efforts of the democratic party because the people want a progressive Cox to head their nation.
 When President Wilson was elected the second time many people said that they believed that the hand of God had democratic victory.
 "But I don't think so. It was the
 hand of the great majority of the
 loyal American voters whose conn
 mon sense told them that the mas- ter hand of President Wilson would
 be needed for another four years
 to keep straight their relations
 with the foreign countries who
 were our allies.
 Now 1 think that stage has passed. We are in the reconstruction period, and it will take a man like Governor Cox, man with sound business sense, to keep the United States going for ward in the same progressive manner during the next four years.
 There is lot of talk about certain states that are in the doubtful line up Then there is lot of talk about certain states that are sure to go re- publican. I am not an expert on such matters, but firmly believe that every state that supported President Wilson at the last election will support Gov ernor Cox at the election on November ?, for in my opinion each of these states have daily been growing more democratic.
 About Governor Cox himself, want to say that he deserves much of the credit, for he certainly has waged one of the hardest fights presidential candidate, either democratic or repub lican, has made in the past twenty five years"
