ZERO IN ACCOMPLISHMENT

For utter void in the way of achievement, the his
tory of Congress has finer example than the soldier
bonus bill.
The proposition to give the veterans of the World
War bonus has been discussed almost since the arnls-
ce The present Congress has theoreacay At fase
been giving the subject the most earnest consideration
since the day it was organized AND the proposition mas
got nowhere.
subject dozen different plans were suggested, con-
sdered rejected. The Presidents views were sought,
and obtained It was stated fairly clear language that
he would not approve bonus bill that did not carry pro-
vision for raising the necessary funds
Despite this pronouncement, members OF the Lower
House of Congress kept up futile bombardment on the
White House, seeking approval OF the most Impossible
schemes This Congressman or that daily ANNOUNCE
ing that this that bill would receive the approval
of the White House. The President remained silent
Finally, the House passed bill providing bonus, and
leaving the problem of taxation to kind Providence
On the presentation of the measure to the Senate,
it was confidently announced that the Senate Finance
Committee would produce promptly workable bill which
would merit the Presidents approval But the process
similar to that in the House previously Now after
many weeks and MONTHS the committee has reported
measure similar to that passed by the House. There is
absolutely no assurance that the President will give it
favorable consideration Yet the Senators expect to pass
it. and them preen themselves before the soldier voters
this autumn statesmen who gave their time and
thought and sincere effort to obtaining bonus.
AS the matter stands unless the President does a
complete reversal there will be soldiers bonus this
year. at least Veterans who hear Senators and Repre-
resenatives mention the bonus during the campaign
speeches this tal should laugh them out OF tne eetg
Similarly any attempt to capitalize politically the
other side of the question: should be accorded similar
laugh There large element of the electorate opposed
any bonus, because of the burden of taxation it will
impose Senators and Representatives seek the support
of this element the theory that they have passed no
bonus providing taxation
There is little doubt that 80 per cent of the veterans
would like to have the matter settled, passed in work
able form, or rejected finally
There little doubt that 80 per cent of the
opposed to the bonus would prefer to have passed
rejected.
But 90 per cent of the Congressman quite

Another Fact

To sell a man piece of land or
farm, his future home and home for
his children, is not an easy job. IT the
man has no confidence in the vendor,
you can't sell him a chicken or second
hand stove. The average man is not a
mind-reader and is often unable to dis
tinguish between trustworthy and I'M
trustworthy men, unless he gets hon.
est and reliable information about
those whom he must depend on in
buying a home or farm.
Notwithstanding that have had to
contend with much misrepresentation
and many attempts to discredit me
with my patrons and the public, to-
day, am still here, stronger and in
spired for future work.
When you are dealing with large
number of people, it is impossible to
please everybody, but ! am gratified
over the fact that the big percentage
of my clients are my best friends.
THERE Is A REASON
If you have anything for sale, or if
you are thinking of buying anything
in real estate, for satisfactory results,

The North W>enerm
CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA

w e believe that North Western
employees should show the same
willingness as the Company to
abide by the orders of the Railroad
Labor Board.
/ his adjustment is fair After the
reduction ordered by the Labor
Board, North Western employees
will be paid a higher scale than
labor in other industries.
| he reductions in rates of grain,
hay and other commodities that
were made effective January l,
1922, together with the reductions
effective July l, 1922, reduces our
income-based on our 1921 bust
ness-by $13,9O0,0O0.
| he reduction in wages ordered by
the Railroad Labor Board effective
July /, 1922, reduces our expenses
based on 1871 payrOliS - by
$4,100,000.
A strike by North Western en-
ployes against the decision of the
Railroad Labor Board will not only
destroy at once the confidence
which the years have given the
North Western in it's employees, but
it will be a strike against this
country's progress toward pros
perity.
We believe that North Western
employees will continue their faith
in American institutions and let
right and wisdom govern tn cir
actions.

"Charms."

Charms"
Strictly speaking. most authorities
agree that charm should be applied
to an object which has as its purpose
the defense Of its possessor against all
evil, and his protection from any
menace. This carries with it, accord
ing to some authorities, clear ex-
PLANTATION of the tortuous ugliness Of
the carvings and more or less hideous
grotesqueries of the charms Of more
than one group of primitive peoples.
The theory was that such charm
would act as kind Of lightning
rod" against evil forces. On the
principle that like attracts like, they
would prefer to seek the charm rather
than its possessor-an to such an
amulet they were harmless.

otherwise not seriously hurting

would undoubtedly have killed
her. Much excitement followed,
what with the screams of the
injured woman and the uncer-

hurt. While the confusion was
greatest, deputy Reynolds still
kept his eye on a closet door,
until such time as he could ask

Shall Not Be Handicapped.

OUR public school is the cradle
of knowledge for Rockingham
and community. 1t might well
be termed the incubator Of prog
ress and achievement. In a few
years the destinies of this com.
munity will be in the hands OF
these children. The greatest
heritage we can leave them, the
one which will fit them for meet
ing the problems of life, is an
adequate education. The school
inculcates in the young mind a
respect for all that is upright,
just and humane, and paves the
pathway of life with that know
ledge and understanding which
is necessary to a successful life.
Without the knowledge obtained
in a school a man or woman
would be totally untitled for the
conflicts of life, HANDICAPPED
FROM THE CRADLE TO THE
GRAVE.

what are our townspeople going
to do with the handicapped high

issue for building larger room is

YOU REGISTER BY SATUR-

doubtful if the most pronounced
opponent of the issue expects it
to be defeated; as a matter of
fact, the issue will carry by an
overwhelming majority pro-
vided you and YOU and YOU do
your part. The issue MUST be
carried: the schools must carry
on: the youth must be given the
opportunity Of being fairly equip
ped to take their place in what
ever sphere or field Of endeavor
they may elect. Register before
Saturday night and let's provide
them with a high school building.
