One Pleasant Spot in
Handling Soldiers Bonus

The adjutant generals department
is still wading through almost un-
counted thousands of applications for
the Soldiers bonus, making good
progress and doing it's best to get the
! checks for the cash to the bofs at
the earliest possible minutete The
kicks" and "growlings" continue to
come in from some of the boys, and
the blunders in the applications and
neglect to properly fill out the
blanks and to enclose the original
discharge papers continue, as well.
But" said Adjutant General
Presson, occasionally we do get a
little cheering word to help brighten
our spirits and help us begin another
days labor on the bonus. The fol-
lowing letter to the treasurer of State
and in turn passed on to this de-
partment, seems worthy of being
given to the public, as showing that
there are still appreciative people
among us:
Treasurer of State, Augusta, Me.
Dear Sir:
"As the nearest approach to being
able to thank the people Of Maine 1
am writing to let you, as their repre-
sentative, know that do not take the
hundred dollar check received today
as a matter of course.
1T is certainly heartily appre-
ciated and will be used in a manner
BETTING the ideal in the name of
which it was given.
Thanks for the accompanying
suggestion as to safe and sane
manner in which to dispose of same.
IF this word of thanks will inter-
est any others whose immediate eff
forts and services have made this
bonus possible should consider it a
kindness if it were passed on. Sin
cerely and gratefully

questions-Why do not the railroads reduce 9TH
er industries are doing? Why do they not readust wages
for work requiring less skill less constant attention in
stead of adherng to the standardized rates established by
the Government when all railroads were under Gen.
tralized control?
The answer is that the Railroad Companies have &C.
tua control the wage scales although the payroll con-
sutes the largest single item in the cost of operation
Only the public grasps this fact does really under
stand the difficulties which confront the Railroads
Under the Transportation Act of 1920 the carriers ara
required to exert every reasonable effort and adopt evey
available to adjust differences relating to cond-
lions Of employment. If they unable to agree upon
the wages the dispute may be transferred to the u
Labor Board by either party. The Board may then de-
eide all disputes with respect to wages salaries of en-
poyes subordinate officials of carriers not decided by
mutual agreement between the parties and under such
provision there is little prospect OF adjustment downward
by agreement.
The Railroad Labor Board investigated the wages of
railroad employees and announced it's decision in july 1920
retroactive to May 1920. The Board decided that the
railroads should add to the rates established by the u
Railroads Administration for each of the various classes
of labor certain amounts per mile per hour per day
the might be- thus maintaining the continuity of
wage fixing by governmental agency The decision fixes
increases for all classes OF employees throughout the
try regardless of local conditions, thus through the
process of standardization really creating inequalities

LUTHER LEAGUE II
ENDS SCATTERING
ANNUAL CONVENTION VERNfIL-
LION CIRCUIT BEST ATTEND
ED EVER HELD BY DIS
TRICT LEAGUES.

Violin, Sept. 2.-One of the most
successful gatherings held in this
part of the state for some time was
the annual convention of the Yer.
million circuit of the Young Peoples
Luther league and Choral union
which held sessions, extending over
three days at Moe, an interior point
near here.
The attendance was the largest OF
any convention held by this organi.
Zation, all of the leagues belonging to
the circuit being represented. The
greater number travelled by auto
which added to the pleasure. All
the pastors of the circuit and a num-
ber of clergymen from outside points
were present, as were choir member.;
from all parts of the circuit.
The opening sermon was preached
by Rev. T. T. Thompson, of Fair
view. Several papers prepared by
members of the various leagues were
read to the convention. These COW
cred all subjects connected with the
WUIh VI the led dSutS. DuTluS SOH1t
of the sessions home and foreign
missionary work was the subject of
discussions. Roundtable discus
sions of various league topics were
features of the convention.
During the convention a good sum
was contributed to be divided equal
ly between the league and foreign
missions. One of the musical fea-
lures was sacred concert given by
the Choral union, under the direc-
tion of Miss Grace Gunderson, of
Elk Point. The chorus numbered
108 voices. There was an abund-
ance of good music throughout the
convention.
AT business session the ollow-
ing officers were elected for the
coming years: president, Rev Jers-
ing Thompson, Harrington, Neb.; /;
Rev. T. T. Thompson.
Fairview, S. d.; secretary, Miss Jes-
samine Jaeger, Vermillion; treasur-
err, Terance Ellison, Vermillion.

FIGURES SHOW
HOG INCREASE
MINNEHAHA COUNTY GAINS "a
PER CENT IN 10 YEARS
BULLETIN ON HOG HOUSE
TYPES.

Brookings, Sept. 2.-The new CEN
sus figures show that Minnehaha
had 92,705 head of hogs on her
farms in 1920 and only 50,1S8 head
in 1910. This Is an increase of AZ
527 head in 10 years, or "a per cent.
These figures indicate that Mime
haha county is rapidly becoming
great hog raising county. They also
indicate that hogs are and will be
the mortgage lifting" crop froms
now on, as they have been In the
older cornbelt states.
A substantial, dry, well-lighted.
well-ventilated and clean hoghouse Is
a mighty big asset to profitable hog
raising, according to r. L. Patty,
extension engineer at State college.
Such house will have the little pigs
and help to give them a good start,
The healthy pigs and the ones to get
good start are the money makers.
1t is a good idea for anyone think
ing of building within the next year
or two to begin looking over plans
and houses. Special attention should
be given to the kinds of windows US
ed for supplying sunlight and the diff
ferent ways in which they are put in.
II is also good plan to inquire about
the cost of these windows. The
small ones sometimes cost consider
ably more than larger ones.
The extension service of State col
lege has circular showing the plans
for several types of farrowing hous-
es. These houses are substantial
and at the same time economical in
framing. They are in good proper
ton and attractive but not elaborate.
This circular may be obtained free
at the county agents office.

Farmers Seek Place
At Disarm Meeting

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The American
Farm Bureau federation has asked
President Harding to provide proper
representation for agriculture in the
disarmament conference. Farm bu-
reau leaders declare it is essential
that the farmers view point receive
due consideration.
Commenting on the request, Presi-
dent j. Il. Howard said:
Our failure crafty the Versail-
les peace treaty in 1919 Is largely
responsible for the slough through
which agriculture is struggling. The
blame for agricultural stagnation
must be placed at the door of those
who blocked peace ratification two
years ago.
"In the disarmament conference
President Harding has the greatest
opportunity ever presented to any
one man since Lincoln's day to bene-
fit the world. We view with the
most hopeful interest the coming
conference to bring about a world
disarmament"

SEE BREAD LINE
IN NEW YORK
ALL CHARITABLE ORGANIZA
TIONS ARE MAKING PREPAR-
ATIONS TO MEET THE SIT
UATION..

New York, Sept. with a half
million unemployed MEN tramping
the streets of New York and hun
dreds of thousands of woman and
children eking out the barest sort of
existence, the dreaded bread line will
reappear this winter. All charitable
organizations know 1t is coming and
are making preparations to care for
the long lines of down and cutters
making their way in the small hours
of the morning to the free bread and
coffee counters of various Bowery
missions and haunting the thresh-
olds of the municipal lodging hous-
eS.
Charity organizations are making
plans to accommodate more men
than they have ever had to deal with
befort. 81.
The missions are stocking up
against the demands the unemploy-
ment situation will make upon them
and officers who are handling the
problem for the city hope that some
effective measures may be taken to
obtain some sort of employment for
many of the men now idle. The
cripples, and the lame, halt and
blind, must be fed, regardless of
what is done, but it is hoped some
work may be found for the able bod
led men who are anxious for any sort
of work. Conferences are now be-
ing held, and out of them some plan
may be evolved to create employ
ment.
Unemployed persons in other ci-
ties were warned to keep away from
New York in statement issued by
Bird s. Coler, commissioner of pub
lie welfare, outlining plans for meet
ing the situation here. He said ma
tive New Workers would be given
preference in the aid distributed by
the mayors committee on unemploy-
ment, and by it's subcommittee In
the five boroughs.
Comm :ssioner Coler said the situa-
tion among the sailors was grave
and announced his intention of call
ing upon the shipping board to man
all ships in the future with Ameri-
can crews.
The American legion and the Vet
Grams Of Foreign Wars have agreed
to cooperate with the municipal au-
thorities In caring for unemployed
former service men.

pardon for Eugene Debs, the social
list national executive committee
which is meeting here, declares 1--WE
decline to accept the latest reason
given for failure to act. 1t is not in

The statement refers to the re-
lease of many convicted German
spies, some of whom were convict
ed of placing bombs on ships sailing
for European ports" and bitterly de-
nounces the American Legion.
''It is known that one militarist
organization, the American Legion,
born under mysterious financial aus
pices, that has INDUCED in kidnap-
ing of socialist speakers; that has
fostered a mob spirit and has in
spired and led mobs and has attempt
ed to terrorize those not i'm accord
with it's ignorant and reactionary
views, has insolently attempted to
thwart the efforts of millions to re-
store this country to its old status
as a nation where all are free to
speak and to write.
This buding militarist- junker

or the future. 1t represents the era
of abysmal matreds which it hopes

Success Raising
Calico Corn

Sioux City, Sept. 2.-What can be
done by good farming methods lis
shown by display of calico corn just
placed in the Dakota Trust and Saw
ings bank. The corn was raised by
M. Clennon, who lives at the edge of
town on the Dell Rapids road.
The field contained 80 acres, and
went about rs bushels to the acre.
Ten bushels of this is being saved for
seed.
Each of the ears on display is
nearly perfect in form, Of unusually
large size, and are excellent for dis
play uses. Not only the ears, but
the kernels are of good size, and run
evenly.
Inasmuch as calico corn has not
been raised to any great extent in
this county, this goes to show that
this part OF the country Is adaptable
to nearly all kinds of grain IL they
receive proper care and cultiva-
ton.

FEDERAL TROOPSARE
ORDERED TDN|RGNVA
MINERS NOT DISTRESSING IN AC-
CORDANCE WITH COMMAND
OF PRESIDENT.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Federal
troops were ordered into the West
Virginia coal fields today. Orders
We're issued shortly before O'Clock
this morning by Major General JAM
es G. Harbord acting chief of staff,
and adjutant General Harris, who re-
mained at the war department all
night to keep close watch on the
situation. The twenty-sixth infantry
left Camp Dix at IL O'Clock today
and the nineteenth infantry from
Camp Sherman was entrained wait
ing for orders to move. A decision
to send federal troops was reached
after General Bandholtz at Charles
ton reported the miners were not
dispensing in accordance with the
command of President Harding.
Bandholtz said he was satisfied the
miners would not obey the command.
He requested troops be sent imme-
diately. Martial law for the mine
war area was considered by Presi-
dent Harding and members of the
rushed into the Mingo and Logan
districts but martial law will not be
declared unless miners offer resist
ance to the federal troops, it was
said. The proclamation of martial
law has not been used under similar
circumstances since shortly after
civil war days.
