We must grid ourselves up with cour-

which We must face, insidlous ones.
To sit down and weep now would be
but to betray the bravery they have
shown. We must fight the little
tongues Of revolutionary flame that
are constantly darting up here and
there; We must combat the restless
ness, the discomfort; we must fight
the profiteers and the trade abuses !;
and we have equally to fight of old,
reactionary tendencies toward slip.

Washington, May 24.--{fter heated
discussion Of the prohibition question,
during which Commissioner Kramer
was bitterly criticized and us vigor-
ously defended, TIE House voted an
additional s2O0,D0O for enforcement Of
the volstead Act until July l.
Representative volstead proposed
the incyease in the total of the defl-
cieyaN appropriation bill to permit
retention on federal pay rolls OF 700
prohibition agents who. Mr.. Kramer
had announced, would be dropped for
the remainder Of the fiscal year be-
cause Of shortage Of funds.
The amendment was adopted, II to
SS, less than one-fourth of the House
membership being present, but an.
other vote can be demanded before the
bill is passed.
Even the members who favored the
amendment, however, doubted whether
1t would afford relief in time to be of
much value, inasmucl us the bill after
passage by the House must go to the
Senate.
| During the wrangling. Chairman
Good Of the appropriations committee,
who opposed the Nolstend amendment,
! said Mr.. Kramer had violated penal
provisions Of law by incurring II de-
ficit and had made himself liable to
mil sentence"
II want Mr.. Kramer to obey the
law just us much us bootleggers," he
declared, adding that S8,9OOOO0 had
been appropriated for prohibition en-.
forcement during the current fiscal
year.
Mr.. Kramer was defended by Rep
resentative Byrnes, Tennessee, ranking
Democrat on the appropriations com.
mittee, us a conscientious official doing
his best to enforce the law.
Mr.. volstead defended Mr.. .Kramer's
administration. declaring there was no
ground for criticism.
Declaring no estimate for additional
funds for prohibition enforcement had
been submitted to the appropriations
committee, and that no one had ap-
peared before the committee to ex-
| plain the situation, Mr.. Byrnes said
that II the secretary Of the treasury
had requested funds he would have
gotten all he wanted.
As the House milled through the de-
ficiency bill provision for the crea.
tion Of an office Of first assistant sec
dietary Of the treasury at salary Of
$4,000 a year and an amendment pro-
yidlng for purchase by the government
of S100,0OO,O00 Of farm loan bonds

~ Y
In response to mans inquiries from
ex-service men in the Middle West ~
garding government land grants, Irwin
L Femrite, secretary Of Argonne post
Of the American Legion In Des Moines;
L., has made on investigation Of the
situation.
"Persons desiring to make homestead
entries" said Mr.. Femrite, should
first fully inform themselves as to the
character and quality Of lands they
desire to enter and should In no case
apply to enter until they have ex-
amined each legal subdivision for
which they make application. Salts
factory information concerning the
lands may be obtained from personal
visit to the district In which one
wishes to take out land.
Each applicant is required to swear
that he Is well acquainted with the
character Of the land described In
his application and the only way that
he can assure himself that prior
settlers have no claim is to make a
personal Inspection pf same.
An ex-service man Is required to
establish residence on the land in
volved after his entry is allowed, un.
less an extension Of time is granted
on account Of sickness, climatic
reasons or similar excuses. Credit ID
given for service In the Army. Navy
or Marines, providing the applicant
has had eighteen months Of service. II
such Is the case, the applicant is re.
quired to live on the land only seven
months. If he obtains so much credit
for military service that there Is re-
quired only one years residence, he
must prove only such amount OF
cultivation as will prove his good faith
as homestead claimant. II his
credit for service requires more than
one years residence, he must show
cultivation to the extent Of one-six.
