congress stand ready to cooperate in
every way possible to provide a soldier
relief agency which will function ef-
fectively.
The case or disabled war veteran
whose home is in one OF the small
towns of Wayne county, Indiana, is
typical OF the condition many former
service men have been placed in by
the methods now in vogue. This man
is married and has three children.
Since his discharge from the army two
years ago he has been able to earn
not more than $500 because of a dis
ability originating in the service. Be
fore enlisting he earned about $500
per day. After his discharge his dis
ability was rated at 10 per cent, en-.
itling him to compensation OF less
than $500 per month.
Compensation Cancelled.
Last December, when he was ad-
Inited to a government hospital, his
compensation was Cancelled. Later his
application for vocational training was
approved. which would have assured
him and his dependents adequate pay

There are good reasons to believe.
however. that the man is normal
mentally, but in the event his mind
has been effected the question has
been asked IL that is logical reason
for the government to refuse adequate
compensation for him and his four
dependents.
1t is also stated that this man was
advised by the war risk bureau over
three months ago to submit additional
aMdavits concerning his case SO that
an adjustment Of his compensation
might be undertaken. The afidarits
were sent him but no action has been
taken on them. A member Of con
grss and the American Legion have
now interested themselves in tits
case. In the meantime, however, the
| former soldiers wife has been sewing
and doing house work to feed and
clothe herself and children and keep
them in school.

kissed her and went out.
/ But Tim did not fall in love with
Myra-that night. The girl had ad-
| justed the lights as Emily did, opened
box of candy and settled herself on
the couch. Tim sat beside her, his
arm around her part of the time. Par:
of the time he walked about the ROOM
smoking and talking of his office and
his hopes of raise in salary.
But come back and sit here" Myra
begged.
And Tim came. And he kissed her
he had gotten into that habit during
the winter. Myra was easy to kiss,
she never refused, and she was a
sweet little thing.
TOO tired to dance tonight" she
murmured once in his ear.
DO you like that sort of life?" he
asked.
NO" she answered It's so empty,
Tim. I'd like to do something real
I'd like a real home, not this stuffy
bandbox."
There was more warmth in Tins
next kiss. Myra thought she had found
his real weakness. She talked still
more about a home-but beyond his
casual and sentimental caresses, she
made no impression. But she did not
despair of doing that. There was a
great deal of cunning and a great deal
of stupidity in her methods.
4 But he was falling IN love! She
guessed that much. And if Ruth did
him, wouldn't it be kinder, she asked
lusions? She decided to do that.
So when she wrote, her letter was
all of Tim.

he were afraid of me-"
There was more, but Ruth did not
have to read it. The cold fear was
all through her now, she could hardly

on the page. Surely this was not

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl
of 10 and love man of %. l know
that he loves me. He was married
once and divorced about three months
ago. I have been out with him several
times and he has asked me to marry
him, but I haven't consented. / love
him and I can't give him up. Will
you please advise me? THANK YOU.
When a man is divorced it is evident
that he has failed to make one woman
happy. Then the question arises as
to whether he will be able to make a
second wife happy. Very often di-
vorce results from the union of two
natures which are very inharmonious
The first marriage fails, while the sec
ond may be a success if the choice OF
mate is wiser Only too often. how
ever, a person is too selfish to be hap
by in any marriage.
would advise you to wait a year OF
two and let time test your regard for
each other. If you care as much al
the end Of a year as you do now, you
will have reason to think that your
natures are congenial.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Would it be
proper for couple to become engaged
and the girl not be given an engage
ment ring on account of hard times
Do you suppose it would disappoint
her, as she is of a good and kind dis
position and brought up without know
ing what it was to have money all the
time? Would it be proper for couple
to talk this question over? A READER
If you knew what an engagement
rings means to any girls heart you
would not dream of overlooking the
gift 1t is something the girl waits
for from the time she is a little girl
Hard times are not an excuse fol-
not making the gift. If a man is sc
poor that he cannot save money tc
buy ring, he is certainly too poor tc
marry. Buy a ring if you have to save
money several months in order to ge
it. The ring can be sim. II, but j
should represent as far as possible
your regard for the girl. If you fine
it impossible to make the gift as fine
as you would like to have it, explain
it to her. 1t is all right to talk ovel
such matters. Do not hurt her, how
ever, by asking her to release you from
the obligation of buying the ring
When a man asks such a thing, the
girl almost always hides her disap
pointment and without showing in the
least how much she cares says that i
is all right and she will be glad to d.
without.

write her and tell her this-and what
was happening, anyway? Were they
in love-was it only Myra and not
Tim? Was Tim afraid to tell her
or was he merely sentimental because
Myra was willing to be? Ruth hated
this idea worse than the others-her

miserable to think of a way out.

'STUNG BY A RATHER

Earl Foltz, the four-year old son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Foltz of Schurz, was
stung on finger by rattlesnake at
Walker lake last Sunday. The family
had gone to the lake for days fishing
and Mr.. Foltz, who was wading in the
lake, hooked bass and threw it to
the shore, and little Earl ran to pick
it up, when he was struck by snake
that was coiled under rock. AS soon
as Mrs. Foltz realized what had hap
pened she cut the finger with knife
until it bled freely, tied bandages
around the arm to retard the circula-
ton and hurried the boy to Schurz.
where the reservation doctor dressed
the wound. The lad was then brought
to Yerihgton and placed under the care
of DIR. Leavitt. The child's arm was
badly swollen nearly to the shoulder.
but the doctor says he will recover.
There can be no doubt that the
boys life was saved by the presence Of

DIVERSITY OF CROPS

c. J. Dick, of the Times force,
recently brought from his sisters
ranch on the west side of Walker
lake a bunch of rye, some of which
measured FIVE feet in length. He
says that ont of $50 frrit trees planted
at the ranch in March only one died,
and that one pear tree had made the
phenomenal growth of 2 l-2 feet since
it was planted late in March. His
sister planted number of Coffee
plants, which have attained consider
able. growth, and Mr.. McCabe, of Dali
las, Texas, who is visiting at the
ranch, AYERS that the plants will bear
coffee beans. The outcome will be
watched with interest. Mr.. Dick also
brought a box of gooseberries picked
at the Michael Knopf orchard, which
have an excellent flavor and are very
prolific. Mr.. Knopf in the course of
two or three years will have one Of
the finest commercial orchards in the,
west.
Aaron Peterson, who has a ranch
at Cottonwood canyon has black
berry patch from which he has sold
so far this season 500 boxes of ber-
ries. He is erecting several buildings
near his grove at the lake for the ac
commodation of those who wish to
camp and fish.
Mr.. Dick says that he is arranging
the preliminaries to begin the con.
struction of summer resort this fall,
and hopes to be able to accommodate
southern Nevada folks next summer
who desire to take an outing neal
home. He intends to plant coup1,
carloads of California cedars near the
lake for shade where the beach is
sandy and the going is delightful He
says that one may go along the high
way and see thousands of fish going
and coming in the clear water.-Tono
