KEEP AWAY FROM THE ORIENT
Ex-Service Men Are Warned That
Jobs Are Scarce and only Natives
Are Employed.

Whipple S. Hall, who travelled 10,-
coo miles to represent the department
of the Philippines at the national con-
vention of the American Legion,
warns all ex-servlce men TO keep away
from the Orient unless they have
enough money to bring them back
home again.
Discharged veterans of the Siberian
front, many accompanied by Russian
wives as destitute as their husbands,
worked their way to the islands as
merchant sailors and are now in the
hands of the Legion and the auxiliary.
Many Of them, penniless, worked their
way down through China in the belief
that the Orient blossomed with good
jobs. Virtually all manual labor and
small clerical work is performed by
natives.

of Wisconsin farmers into a single

100000 of dairy products annually
produced in the state is to be abon-
doned by the Equity society, which
promoted the project, Edward Nord-

announced. This decision of the so.
