ADJUSTED COMPENSATION

One of the proposed amendments
TO the state constitution to be voted
on at the coming election, reads "to
provide for issuing bonds for ad-
justed compensation for service in
the World war. in order to pay Ohio
veterans thereof SO per month for
each month of service" To meer
this adjusted compensation, it is fig
ured, would require about S25, ,000,-
coo. The constitution does not al
low issuing bonds for this amount,
hence the necessity of amending the
constitution. However, the issuing
OF these bonds is limited to this
specific purpose, and does not let
down the bars for other issues.
This proposition is not a bonus,
although often spoken of as such. A
bonus means gift. The amendment
is for adjusted compensation. To
OhiO's soldiers shall have addition
al pay for the services rendered
more in keeping with the wages re-
ceived by those who remained al
home.
There are some who argue that
the honor and glory of our ex-ser-
vice men is the greatest compensa-
tion that can be bestowed upon
them, and they should be contenf
and satisfied with such. 1t is part
ly true, and far be it from our sol
diers to ask price for their patriot
ism, but honor and glory will not
purchase food or clothing. The
soldiers are not asking that they be
paids for the risk they encountered
All they ask is that they be given q
compensation comparable to that
paid the lowest paid laborers in
the state, by the poorest employers
during the war. Does, it not seem
fair that they should share in this
very small way the profits enjoyed

FIRE PREVENTION DAY

Oct. 10 is the date set for Fire
Prevention Day" On this day, if
you have not already done it, better
do a little inspecting and see that
all chimneys and pipes are in good
condition, before coal or wood fires
are lighted in the heaters or fur
naces. This has been very damp
season and has caused many pipes
sometimes to cause holes to come in
pipes. which if not looked after are
very dangerous, and often the
source of fires. -,e..sa

NEWBERRY WHITEWASHED

In the majority report in the
Newberry case the Republican mem
bers of the senate committee on
privileges and elections absolutely
disregard all the evidence presented
to them. None of the facts brought
out at the trial of the Michigan
senator in the United States district
court at Grand Rapids and at the
hearings of the Spencer sub-com-
mittee, none of the checks and ac-
count books and documents and
berry's nomination was procured by
the expenditure of nearly a quarter
of million dollars are accepted by
them as having any weight whatso-
ever. Proof of corrupt practices on
a gigantic scale, in defiance of the
: law enacted by congress, means
nothing to them. AS partisan ma
jority they were resolved to do their
full partisan duty by whitewashing
a senator of their own party.
The minority stand on solid
ground when they declare that be-
cause of the corrupt and illegal
methods employed at the Michigan
primary Senator Newberry ought
not to hold his seat in the senate No
other finding based on the evidence
is honestly possible. That Newber-
RVS seat should be declared vacan,
is obviously the only proper recon-
mendation in the circumstances, for
in the general election Henry Ford
did not receive plurality of the
votes.
1t remains for the senate as a
body to render final judgment in the
case. 1t is about to place itself on
trial before the American people.
If, swayed by partisan motives, the
senate votes to permit Truman H.
Newberry to retain his seat, it will
declare that money wins and that
nothing else matters.-New York

CHAPTER Ill

They do not feature the playing
of all records. Why?
.PLAYS ALL RECORDS
The idea is inyiting-suggest at
first thought that it would be a
great advantage. But is it?
The person who plays every in
strument i'm the orchestra is never
seen i'm the front row playing solos.
HE is Jack of all trades and mas.
ter of none."
There are plenty of baseball play
average, but Babe Ruth draws the
crowd. Why? Because he is best
in that particular line.
There are a number of voices in
the world, but none ever drew the
crowds that Caruso did. Why? Be-
cause he was best.
Would suit of clothes made to
fit all the male members of the
family be satisfactory for any one
of them?
A talking machine cannot be
made to play all records without
striking an average. To gain a lit
tie in one direction it must lose i'm
another. 1t must COMPROMISE,
and compromise is always some
thing less than the best. So the ma
chine that 'Plays All Records -
plays some better than others, plays
some worse than others, but plays
none perfectly.
We find that whatever instru-
ment people buy they use Victor
records more than any others. They
are best, and since this is the case
is it not better to have a Victrola
the instrument specially made to
play these particular records?

slightly over 1900 feet, the drillers at
the Transcontinental well met with an
accident Saturday, when a section of
six inch casing collapsed. The acci-
dent was due to the tremendous water
pressure against the casing. The
drilling crew is preparing to try to
being secured and at this time the ex-
tent of the delay is not known.
The drilling of the past two. weeks
has brought forth no new develop
ments, but those who are watching the
progress feel confident that the oil
sands will be encountered in this first
hole. Others think that second hole
will be required before it can be def
initely determined as to whether the
structure is to be a producing one. In
any event the company still continues
operations with all possible speed.

After January

Winnett, Dec. 1e.-As soon after the
first of the coming year as weather
conditions seem to be settled favorable
to field work the Seattle Flatwiilow
well will be drilled to completion BY
the Great Northern Oil and Develop
ment company, which has its headquar-
ters in Great Falls. Secretary Fl. G.
Dyer and Director B. Howard OF the
company were in Winnett today and
authorized this announcement. A
standard derrick will be constructed,
the 5 3-16 inch casing will be pulled
and the 5-S inch casing under
reamed in order to carry the larger hole
to depth. Drilling will be resumed
from about 2,260 feet to 300 feet
greater depth, within which increased
depth commercial production is con-
fidently expected.
The same company have standard
derrick up on lease about a mile
south of the Black Hawk well, in sec
ton 21-14-2s, but spudding in at this
location will probably await the re-
suits of the deeper drilling of the
