TOWNLEY DUCKS LANCER

The Wichita Beacon Of Jan. 20,
1921, owned and edited by Gov. H.
j. Allen, of Kansas, in an editorial
says: 1t is the custom of A. C.
Townley when he enters strange
territory, to issue loud challenge to
all comers to debate the Nonpartisan
league issue with him.
He is usually safe in making this
kind of challenge. Every person,
however we'll known, hesitates to at
tempt beating a man at his own
game, and Townley's game is that of
bluff and buster. The speaker on the
platform always has the advantage,
for people come to hear him speak;
they do not come to hear heckler.
Therefore the presumption and preju-
dice is always against the heckler no
matter how unpopular or wrong the
speaker may be.
Townley is insincere in making
this kind of challenge. He has re-
fused to meet William LANCER, of his
own state, North Dakota, in a joint
debate. He does not dare to meet
LANCER. LANCER has repeatedly of
fered to debate the LEAGUE issue
with him, but TOWNLEY has always
evaded him. LANCER is loaded for
Townley, and Townley knows better
than to try to meet him on the same
platform.
Townley issued his challenge in Sa-
lima the other day. Nobody took
him up, but he did not know that Lam
ger was on his trail. Now LANCER is
in Kansas, and has offered to meet
Townley. But Townley has crawled
into his cyclon cellar.
Nobody can find him.
Before he issues his next challenge,
he will probably take a look round
at the horizon to see if William Lam
ger is anywhere in sight.

IS MADE PUBLIC
AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

The following will likely be of in
terest to all ex-service men:
Cali ex-members of the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps or Army Nurse
Corps during the late World War, are
entitled to treatment of any dental
disability, which was incurred during
military service or which was aggra-
waited by that service. Every ex-
service person who will file claim
is entitled to an examination, wheth-
er it is shown that treatment is
needed"
The above is from communication
of the U. S. Health Service.
There were few men in service who
did not incur some dental disability
or whose dental disability was not ag-
gravated by that service. Less than
ten per cent of the claims filed on
account of dental disability are dis
allowed. Forms 526, $50, 545 are
to be used in filing claim for dental
treatment, and can be procured from
the Pest Commander These forms,
when properly executed, should be
addressed to the Department Adjutant,
American Legion, Fargo, marked
Attention Dental Section, U. S.
Public Health Service" Upon the
receipt at Fargo they will be imme-
diately placed in the hands of the
proper medical officer, and the claim
ant will be informed by him to what
dentist in the community to go for
examination.

Fargo War Risk Officer, in charge
of the Service Department The
War Risk Officer has jurisdiction over
the following subjects, and is only
too glad to help some ex-service man
to overcome some of the government
"red tape," or the numerous other
obstacles which might confront him.
Look this list over and see if there is
not some 'fbuddie" whom you know
personally that is in need of some aid
on one or more Of these matters. The
State Headquarters handles cases of
all sort coming under the following
heads: Allotments, War Risk Insur-
ance, Vocational Training, Public No
taries, Liberty Bonds, Victory Medals
Clothing and Equipment, Travel Pay
Lost Discharge, Compensation, EN-
r,oyment, Government Bonus, Natur.
alization, Retainer Pay, Missing Men
Lost Baggage, Arrears of Pay, Per.
sonal Effects, and information on 101
other things of interest to service
men.
Perhaps the perusal of this list will
bring to mind some long forgotten
difficulties, which you meant to ad
just some time ago, but kept putting
off until it escaped your mind entire
ly. Surely there must be, in this
Post, some members having cases
coming under the foregoing heads
and whom can be helped.
There will be the regular monthly
meeting of the legion in the clut
rooms the evening of Feb. q

1t is interesting to note that said
packing plant is now somewhere near
one million dollars in the hole, and
that Mr.. Hoopman-who impressed
Mr.. Ward so favorably-is charged
with having been one of those to
blame for much of the loss.
When we read Sen. Wards letter
now it reminds US of little bit of
Prof. Ladd's advice relative to hold
ing their wheat last fall Mr.. Ward
believed that those who had stock in
the plant had nothing to worry about,
and it "also looked to him" as though
Mr.. Hoopman was capable of sue
cessfully managing the plant. And
it seemed hard for Mr.. Ward to un-
derstand how "some people" could
knock the institution.
Senator, you may be an able legis-
lator, and faithful tool of North
Dakota's socialist political ring, but
you sure went wrong on that letter
of yours about the packing plant.

We found we'll equipt modern plant,

us that Mr.. Hoopman is capable of

They have built up quite village

wish to live near the plant, have
their eating houses and store, water
works, light plant, ice plant and
ammonia plant, also have their line
of refrigerator cars in which they are
shipping out their product.
They are hauling about forty cars
of stock per day, at present, in all
lines, and tell us that they have been

SEN. WARD AS A PROPHET

Occasionally Sen. c. A. Ward has
broken into print with various and
sund:y slaps on the wrist for the ed
itor of this paper. Once he exhibited
a horror of being drawn into a joint
debate with the Record man. An
other time, the Rccoru quoted certain
Emmons county farmers who were
far from impressed with the wonders
Of the packing plant at Fargo. The
next week Sen. Ward published let
ter over his own signature that is
certainly likely to be interesting
reading at this time, especially to
stockholders in the packing plant.
Mr.. Wards letter is as follows:

able to handle all stock that shippers
wished to consign to them, except
some very large shipments such as 10
cars or more, which would, in addition
to the regular run, overtax their ca
pacity.
We believe those who have stock in
the plant need not worry about their
investment, and we cannot understand
why some people are so anxious to
misrepresent and knock an institution
in cur state that is helping to save
money for the people of the state,
and also build up industries.

DARING DAYLIGHT
HOLDUP IN MEMPHIS

Ernest Tapp, bank messenger for
the Federal Reserve Bank in Mem
phis, was held up and robbed of
$1,000 at II o'clock Monday morn
ing at Court avenue and Second
street. Hundreds of people were
passing at the time, but the lone
bandit who staged the holduD made
a getaway, says the News Scimitar.
Tapp had the money IN small
grip. AS he was passing the corr
ner, headed for the Federal Re-
serve Bank branch, a man stepped
alongside him and pressed pistol
to his side.
"Give me that money and don't
make any noise," the armed bandit
whispered into Tapp's ear
The bandit seized the grip and
walked away.
Tapp reported his loss to police
Immediately. Every available de-
tective was put on the case by De-
tective Inspector w. 7. Griffin.
Tapp, who is Il, had collected the
money from various banks, and was
on his way to the Federal Reserve
branch, where he is employed.
Tapp described the bandit as
under rs years Of age and wearing a
plaid suit and army overcoat.
The bandit did not pull out his
pistol, but kept it in the side pocket
Of his overcoat as he ordered Tapp
to give him the money.
After he got the money satchel,
ire bandit ordered Tapp to walk on,
threatening to shoot him if he
looked around Tapp was unable to
tell which way the bandit disap-
peared.
TaDp was walking on the Court
square side Of Second street when he
was robbed.
The bank Is insured against all
losses Of robbery, Il J. Heflin, man-
ager Of the Federal Reserve branch,
said after the robbery.

HARDING APPROVES
LONG-TERM WAR BONDS

That President Elect Harding and
Republican leaders IN Congress gen
orally favor refunding of certain
issues Of Liberty bonds in order that
the tax situation may be met was
brought out Monday, when Chairman
Fordney, of House ways and means
committee, returned to Washington
from a conference with Mr.. Harding,
in St. Augustine, says a Washing
ton dispatch. The plan follows,
generally, the forecast made recent
~ by Arthur Sears Henning, in
Washington.
Mr. Fordney declined to go into
details with regard to the president
elects attitude on taxation, al
though he said Mr.. Harding had
some decided views. The ways and
means chairman did say, however,
that he and the president-eleet were
in perfect harmony as to what should
be done, both in tariff and internal
revenue legislation.
Mr.. Fordney's expression was
therefore interpreted as indicating
that Mr.. Harding is opposed to the
proposed sales tx as a substitute
for the excess profits tax, which he,
along with practically all Of the con-
gressional leaders, insists should be
repealed.
Mr., Fordnev was one of the origi-
nal advocates of a sales tax. He
declared today however, that he did
nnt see any uned for II
The bulk of the $8,000,000,000 in
Victory Loan bonds, treasury GER
tificates and war savings certificates
maturing in 1923 will have to be re-
funded into long-term obligations,
Mr.. Fordney declared 1t will be
impossible to liquidate them without
greatly increasing tax rates, he ex-
planned, and this is out Of the ques-
ton.
Nearly half of the war costs, ex-
elusive Of the s10,000,000,000 loaned
to foreign governments, has already
been paid out of taxation, he said,
and it ID only right that most of the
remainder be passed along to the
next generation. The Victory Loan
bonds and war savings certificates
particularly should be refunded, he
said. and as much Of the treasury
certificates ais possible retired out
of the revenue.
Stop-gap legislation to take the
place of the Fordney emergency bill,
expected to be vetoed by President
Wilson until nermanent revision of
the customs duties can be made. has
been approved by President Elect
said Mr.. Fordney.
With the new emergency bill out Of
the way, tax revision win be taken
up and the permanent tariff bill will
follow. The old Payne-Aldrich law
will be used as a basis, with some Of
it's rates increased and other changes
made to meet the situation caused
bv the prevailing difference in ex-
change rates.

TO CALL HIM DADDY"

No matter how grand or rich d
great
IA man may be In earth's estate,
Tho he may have no thought Of care
But only pleasure everywhere,
He's not happy, I'll Just bet,
He knows not Joy
If baby boy
Has never called him daddy Just
yet.
No matter how poor and down and
out,
How much man must do without;
Each day filled up with trouble and
trial,
And always only self-denial.
Somehow, things always seem bright
If he knows a laddie
Will call him daddy"
When he gets home from his work
at night,
No matter how good and pure and
clean,
Nor yet how bad and low and mean
Al man may be III heart and name,
Somehow, you're never just the same,
After once Of heaven You know a
part.
Brought BY a laddie,
When he calls you daddy
With his little head nestled up close
to your heart.

And blow on loves fast dying ember.

ALERT DE4CON'S
WHISPER ALL THAT
SAVES COLLECTION

WASHINGTON. n. c., March II.
The action Of an alert deacon in
whispering 20 Rev. c. +. Hudson,
pastor of the First Baptist church
OF this city, that he had forgotten TO
call for the offering is probably the
only thing that saved the collection
at the Sunday night services recently.
When the usual time arrived for
taking up the Offering. the deacOns
promptly secured plates and took
their positions at the end of the
asiles 10 await the announcement
from the pulpit. but the minister
arose and delivered his sermon in
stead. Rev. Hudson was about to
announce the closing hymn when a
deacon told him the collection had
not been taken.
The congregation Will please be
seated while we take up the evening
Offering" Mr.. Hudson announced.
and the collection was saved.
Old citizens say they cannot re-
call a parallel case OF absent-minded-
ness.
