PLAN AID FUND
FOR DISABLED
Lcgionnaires Are Working Out
Scheme For Making Use Of
Expected Bonus

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 20
Plans for big rotating fund to pro-
vide loans to sick and wounded eX-
service men in each state are being
worked out at national headquarters
of the American Legion here.
Ex-soldiers who do not need the
ready cash that would come to them
from the governments payment of
adjusted compensation would con-
tribute their bonus to the rotating
fund. Service officers of the Legion
in each state wuold loan the money
without security and at nominal ratee
of interest to needy veterans.
TIE principal benefciaries of the
loan fund would be "our buddies who
are broken in health" that they may
take care of themselves and their
families and keep their self-respect
while battling through red tape for
their Just disability compensation,
according to Hahford MacNider, the
Legion's commander, who originated
the plan.
There are hundreds of instances in
which sick and wounded ex-service
men, unable to get government aid
have had to depend upon charity
while their claims were being review
ed, the Legion reports show. Tuber-
cular veterans who owe their condi-
tion to poison gas or to exposure have
gone to sanitariums in the west
there been denied immediate treat
mcnt or admission and have become

service men already have made known

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-All dis
abled veterans of the world war un-
der care in government hospitals and
institutions will receive adequate
clothing and equipment under bill
favorably reported by the house mil
itary affairs committee, which goes
on the calendar for vote in the
house when congress reconvenes af-
ter the Christmas holidays.
The bill authorizes the secretary
of war to cooperate with the sur
geon-general of the United States
public health service in distributing
army clothing to government pa
tents, Thousands of dollars worth
of this surplus war material is now
stored away in warehouses.
House leaders have demanded a
special rule for consideration of the
measure. Statements were made on
the floor that if congress could rush
through bill for $20,000,000 for
starving Russians, it ought to be able
to put through one for cold ex-ser-
vice men.

NEW MUSCLES SHOALS
OFFER NOT PRESENTED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. The
conferences between Secretary
Weeks and Representatives of G. G.
Tinker, head Of the San Francisco
Construction company, in connection
with the Muscle Shoals projects.
which the latter had announced
would be held today, failed to ma
terialize. Weeks said he had not
been advised of the arrival of Tink-
er's representatives. The impress
sion in war department quarters, all
though without positive information,
is that Tinker's offer had to do with
the completion of construction work
at Muscle Shoal in the event for it's
sale to private interests were aban-
doned.

TAKES LITTLE GIRLS LIFE.

REYNOLDS Dec. 26.-While
plaving with fireworks Saturday
night, Emily, the 6-year-old daughter
of r. E. Waters, was fatally burned
when her clothing became ignited
from "sparkler." Before aid could

shifted several hours afterwards. Mrs.
H. 0. Fowler was painfully burned
about the hands and arms by trying
to save the child's life. Mrs. Fowler's
injuries are not considered serious.
American farmer lost in 1920, in the
cost of his products above the sum
he received for them, sum greater
than the total of all the gold and sill
yer coin and bullion in the United
States today.
"The farmers of this country lost
not less than SIS 100000 on the
crop of 1920" says Estabrook.
'From that you can understand
why the buying power of the farmer
is at low ebb."
