Delays cashina Certificates.

Minnesota members of the Ameri- can Legion are attacking the red tape and delay by the government In cash ing its certificates issued to disabled veterans to pay their expenses while travelling to public health and vOca- tiOnal training centers. Because of the difficulty in cashing the paper the ex- service men are now forced to accept . discount of ten per cent. Authoriza- ton by legislation of federal reserve banks and post offices to pay cash on presentation of the certificates is the remedy suggested by A. H. Vernon, Legion der artment commander, in let ters to F. w. Galbraith. Jr., National commande!, and to the federal board for Vocational Education. It Is be- lieved that the Legion will adopt the suggestion and back legislation to that end

SEEKS OWNER OF WAR MEDAL
Opera Singer Redeems Emblem Found In Window of New York
 Pawn Shop.

The sight of a Victory medal in the window of New York pawn shop moved Lucien Muratore, opera singer and French soldier during the World war, to redeem the decoration in hope that 1t will find its way to it's owner
 While strolling with my secretary" M. Muratore wrote, "I chanced to look curiously in window where many odd articles were displayed. Among them was this medal. Having served with the French army in the great war, was naturally interested Co know how this medal should come to such place. My friends informed me that probably the veteran had been forced by cir cumstances to part with it for small sum. It is certain that I should be greatly distressed to be forced to give up insignia of reward with which France has honored me. With this feeling, l sent my secretary to recover this medal for me in the hope that should be able to return 1t to the gal lant soldier who won it.
 The medal bears clasps for St. Mi hiel. Meuse-Argonne and defensive sector. It will be returned to it's owner if properly identified.

IN DEFENSE OF THE FARMERS
Statement That Agriculturists TurM Backs on ex-Service Men Is At
 tackled by Writers.

A statement that the farmers of thix country gained considerably as a re suit of the World war and now turn their backs on ex-service men has been challenged by numerous writer's.
 The following is good statemenx of the farmers case, as one cerrs- spondent outlines it:
 Sixty years of my life had rolle< away when this country entered tho war. l had four boys and they eer% tainly all wore brooches, but none of them claimed exemption. Three of them enlisted shortly after war was declared. The youngest was a boy of eighteen. Myself, one of the boya. and my siXteen-year-old daughter were left to conduct a farm of inore than 300 acres, and we had to wor from 16 to IS hours every day. Ifw hired any help We had to pay mum tion plant wages for an eight-hour das and if we had any surplus cash, th Y. NJ. c. A., the Red Cross, JewfG Welfare Board, Salvation Army and other meritorious war agencies sb- soibed it. I know that other farmers in this section were in the same condi- tion. I also know that the states which have paid their ex-soidkrA bonuses to date are almost exclusive, ly agricultural"

SPECIAL SESSION
 WILL BE CALLED
IN MEANTIME PRESIDENT WILL PREPARE MESSAGE DEALING
 WITH DOMESTIC AFFAIRS
TAX REVISION IS CERTAIN
April ii Is the Date Set For Special session of Coneress-New Ship ping Board Is Considered-
 Bonus Bill Up.

Washington. = President Harding mas informed a committee of sena. tors that he has decided to call the Sixty-seventh Congress into special session on Monday, April II.
 In the meantime the president will formulate his program of tax and tariff revision and other domestic legislation which he will recommend Tn his first message to the new Con- gress the day after it assemblies. Whether he will read his message to Congress, as did President Wilson, or revert to the written communication Of the presidents from Jefferson to Taft, MT. Harding has not decided, 'ne told the committee of senators, headed by Republican Leader Lodge when 1t called on the president to inquire if there were any further ex- ecutive business to lay before the special session of the Senate before it adjourns. Mir. Harding requested that tine Senate remain in session to receive and consider further appoint ments which will include, he hopes, the members of the new Shipping Board
 Following the visit from the sena- tors the president received James A. Farrell. president of the United States Steel Corporation, whom Mr. Hard- ing wants to eommandeer for chair man of the Shipping Board The pres ident had invited Mir. Farrell to come to Washington to discuss the matter. Whether Mir, Farrell had accepted the appointment was not disclosed fol lowing the conference. Earlier in the day the president had discussed merchant marine questions with Frank Munson, shipowner.
 Walter Brown of Toledo. O., who was an ardent Roosevelt Republican and leader in the councils of the Bull Moose party, was luncheon guest of the president. It is reported that Mir. Brown is likely to receive an important diplomatic appoint ment Information at the White House does not bear-out reports that the president. up to date, has asked Myron T. Herrick of Ohio to return to Paris as American ambassador.
 The president has sounded the Re publican members of the senate Com mittee on Foreign Relations on his projected appointment of Col. George Harvey as ambassador to Great Brit ain and found no objections raised. Antagonists of MT Harvey in private life have started propaganda against him, saying that the White House is being flooded with protests. At the White House it was said that no such protests have been received, but that op the contrary the selection of Colonel Harvey was being warmly urged in every quarter

to say nothing of them. but If must tell what l know, why, I must tell what l know. This man Travers was a farm hand working for Harris on his farm back in Manitoba. Harris is or was-well-to-do. and Travers ac- cordingly mustered up an attachment for his daughter This the young la- dy. 1t seems, was foolish enough to re- turn. They
 'Thatll do, Gardiner" interrupted Travers, in quiet, vibrant voice. You are getting away from the sub ject"
 ''On the contrary, I'm getting close your comfort, 1t seems"
 ''I am not Investigating any family closets" said the coroner. You will have to show the connection between these matters and the Inquiry we are making"
 'I will do that in moment. sir." Gardiner returned. But cannot show the connection until l have shown the events that are connected. Travers had trouble with Harris and had fight with Allan. Then he and the young lady ran away. They have both beer, fin this part of the country for some time. But Travers' plan to inherit the Harris property was up- set on account of the girl quarreling with her parents, and his ardor seems to have cooled off noticeebly. But he was as keen for the property as ever Riles was weakling in the hands of n man like Travers. and no doubt he betrayed the fact that Harris was taking his money with him into the hills Then the two of them framed up the plan which has resulted in the death of one and the arrest of the other"
 During these exchanges the sympa- thies of the jurors seemed to veer from side to side. The theories pro- pounded were so contradictory that opinions wavered with each sentence of evidence. But new bolt was ready for the shooting.

 At the age of eleven, Mir. Barnett organized the Abraham Lincoln club at the Hull House in Chicago and ever since he has been an organizer in business and in the affairs of the Le zion. His versatility is indicated by the fact that he has been d vaudeville artist as well as successful dealer fin hides and furs.
 Mir. Barnett was at first rejected by the army because of bad foot, but finally was accepted for few months of service in an American training camp. He has served as state adju tant since the organization of the Le- gion's Montana department.

"I heard him say something about MT. Harris losing all his money that night, in the old shanty up the river road. Strange things have happened up there, Riles,' he said. That made me suspicious. and I hurried back to the ranch, determined to follow them. I found that my revolver had been taken. I armed myself as best could, and set out When I came near the building which Gardiner had men, toned I dismounted and approached it carefully. It was very dark.

I didn't say sc before, because 1t didn't seem to bear on the case, but I have at home telegram which l received a few days ago from the New York investors, offering me personal commission of 20 per cent on the transaction if I was able to get this property for them at the price they had offered.
