A BETTER INVESTMENT

Men who pride themselves upon
their business conservatism have been
advocating a loan of one billion dollars
to the German Government by the
United States. on the ground that this
sum would bring manifold returns
through the stimulation of trade be-
tween the two countries. Many of
these men have been consistent OppOn-
ents of any form of financial cOmpen-
satiOn for American veterans of the
World War on the ground that the
nations present finances could not bear
the added burden of the payments to
ex-soldiers.
Several interesting questions arise
from these facts. The business judg-
ment of such men is that the nation
could spare a billion dollars for Ger
many. Why do they shudder, then, at
the mention of payments to the men
who helped keep their dollars at the
top of the worlds monetary units?
And if n billion dollars would in
fuse new energy into an enfeebled
Germany, what countless benefits
might not be expected through the dis
tributiOn of the same sum to ambitious
and aggressive young Americans?
What would be the cOuntry's gain if
it enabled tens of thousands of veter.
n to get homes of their own-if it
gave them the capital for the purchase
Of farms that would enable them to be-
come real producers? America can
find no better investment for its MONEY
han in the promotion Of the productive
power of its ex-seryice men,-Ameri-

The captain found Desdemona IN
tumult. Armed members of the vice
ring were parading through the streets
in confident bravado. The post mar
shaled its forces and ordered the three
offending 'peace" officers of the town
to leave within tw~enty-fOur hours. The
latter returned a cOntemptuOus re-
fusal. Desdemona seethed. From Oil
fields and camps hundreds of men
poured into town to be present when
the ultimatum should expire.
Eighteen L~egionnaires were sworn
in as deputy rangers and mingled with
the crowd while the offending officers
staggered down the main street. Just
as the time limit expired One unarmed
member of the Legion post stepped up
to the officers and ordered them to
surrender. A dozen revOlvers leaped
from a dozen hips and all the bra.ado
went out of the ring. The Legion dep
uties disarmed the leaders and march
ed them off to an Office, where they
wrote out their designations as town
officials.
The next morning the roads from
DesdemOna were dotted with automO-
biles bearing the exodus of the sport
ing fraternity to and greener
pastures. Desdemona was through
with them.

How q post of the American Le-
gion purified a little oil-boom town in
Texas when respect for law and order
had become a mockery is told in the
American Legion Weekly.
Desdemona, Tex, was hardly more
than a stop for wayfarers on the road.
a slumbrous, dusty community, until
oil came and the town took on new life
and lured hosts Of brawny adventur-
ers. The treasure hunters came to
prospect and pioneer, but, as is inevi-
tably the case, there followed after
them a horde of shifty-eyed gentry
and red-lipped women The word was
passed out that the lid was off in Des-
demOna.
Then the ring ran up against The
American Legion. Individually for a
long time the members of Peavy-Brice
post tried quietly to combat the spread
of vice in Desdemona. The ring, aid
ed by the town constable, a deputy
sheriff and the justice Of the peace, de-
cided that it would crush this organi-
cation Of veterans who stood for ideals
that were not compatible with places
Of unsavory repute. It began by
threatening the ~Legionnaires with viO-
lence and when it found them unwil-
ling to retaliate it grew more arro-
CANT. The post quietly called a cap
tain of Texas rangers from Austin.

ton system.

The state legislature of Oregon has
sent a memorial to congress urging
immediate passage of the American
Legion's four fold adjusted compensa-

Neither the home building nor Drake

audits are advised by the st. Paul firm
which made the survey. In a report
on the state creamery at Werner and

Bismarck, the audit concern made only
brief statements.
No System of Accounting.
The auditors declare there has been
no adequate system of accounting in
stalled by the home building a~ssocia-
ton up to December 3, and that "the
records and accounts were yet in an
incomplete and unsatisfactory condi-
ton"
The report by Charles r. Kositzky,
former state auditor and an Indepen-
dent, was submitted today on the home
building association. He said there is
evidence on every hand that the work
of the home building association has
been supervised by men who do not
know the lumber business or who are
not fully efficient in attempting to DO
the work assigned to them"
Further, Mr.. Kositzky criticized the
buying policy. He states that the as
ISOLATION paid $1.1O0 more for one car
of lumber than the December % price
and in concluding says:
