 Bishop Homer Stunts said at din- her in Omaha:
 "If we were all as ambitious topro- gress ethically as our war protiteers are to progress socially, it would be a very good thing.
 "A war profiteer decided recently to drop the Baptist faith and tur Episco- palian, as all the high-up people in town went to the Episcopalian church.
 ''So he visited the book store and asked for the hymnals, Bibles and so forth that he would need in his new way to worship.
 He seemed well enough pleased with the volumes that the salesman laid before him till he came to the book of Common Prayer. Over this he drowned and shook his head.

 Martins Ferry, Ohio, Aug, 5.-Wil- lard Ball, local newspaperman, went fishing in the Ohio.
 But-sueh luckl
 He caught chub and tossed it into a skiff.
 Then he caught fish of variety he did not get chance to determine because it fell on a diving board and bounced back into the water.
 His third haul netted catfish. He gave it to Loy Freeman to hold, but the fish "horned" him, causing him to drop it back into the water.
 When Ball went to get the chub it was gone.

ABAIR, WHO ENTERED
VERGENNES PLANT
IN BAD CONDITION
Ex-ServiCe Lad Found BY
American Legion, To Be
Taken to Waterbury For
Observation.

As result of investigations on the
part of the local post of the American
legion, Frank Abair, the % year old
ex-service boy who was arrested a few
weeks ago for entering the shade roller
company in Vergennes, will be sent to
the state hospital in Waterbury for OBJ
Servation.
The case of Abair is one Of hundreds
OF others of similar nature, where eX-
service men, having criminal records,
are found to be Unbalanced through
injuries, and without the investigation
of the Legion and cooperation of pro-
scouting state officers, would be sent to
penal institutions when they should
really be in state hospitals.
Young Abair's case is one particularly
III point During the war he was
aboard the Buena Vista, which boat
was torpedoed. The torpedo struck
the ship within 20 feet OF where Abair
was sleeping. Terribly shocked he
climbed to the deck and jumped into
the sea in his night clothes. For 48
hours he hung to a raft and was finally
picked up and taken to a hospital in
Brest, Frnace where he remained for
49 days Then he was transferred to a
lor0edo boat A serious accident befell
dim when he was hit on the head by
dar;t crank, knocking him unconscious
lor sveeral hours Abair was taken to
naval hospital in America where he
was discharged. The lad tells pitiful
story of his experiences after leaving
the navy, finding himself many times
wandering in the woods Finally he
reached Vergennes and at the time Of
his arrest in connection with the shade
roller company states that for two days
and nights he had had nothing to eat
but a crust of bread given him from a
workmans dinner pail Since his ar
rest he has been in Addison county Jail
The Legion started an investigation
With States Attorney Stone cooperat-
ing with a result that counsel was
assigned and decision made to send the
boy to Waterbury for observation.
When examined last night by ply
icltn and other Legion men Abalr was
found to be in a terrible condition,
virtually unconscious, and it was de-
cided definitely that he should 80 to
the state hospital.
The lads condition was SO serious
that he was taken today to the Mary
Fletcher hospital by Dr. Ross for an
ray examination
