THE BONUS BUMCOMB

When the vote came for final pas
sage of the ways and means commit
tee bill for adjusted compensation
for world war veterans it took a man
of considerable stamina to stand out
and vote against it, yet this is ex-
actly what Walter J. Newton, rep
resentative of the Fifth Minnesota
district did when it came before the
lower house of Congress Friday of
last week.
Mr.. Newton, stated that the act
as passed was mere bumcomb flor the
reason that no provision was made to
finance the measure. 1t is true
that the bill provided for the issue
ance of certificates to the returned
soldier upon which he, can borrow
money up to so per cent on its face
value, if the bank or banks are will
ing to make the loan.
President Harding is in favor Of
relief for the World War veterans
but he insists that congress must
make provisions for financing any
bonus plan enacted into law.
The Herald yields to no man in its
friendship for the World War vet
eran. Hundreds Of millions of dol
lars have been poured into the rail-
roads; the ship workers and others
received unheafrd of wages during
the war period and it is only right
and proper that the financial sacri-
flee made by the young men of the
country who served either in camp or
at the battle front should be reim-
bursed for the sacrifice made.
There is an election drawing near
and to the Herald it appears that the
bonus bill was passed by the house
last week as one of political expedi-
ency to save political hides.
The Herald has not any plan in
mind to raise the money to pay the
returned soldier what is his due; the
World War veteran is entitled to a
bonus.
If sales tax is the only method
by which the money can be raised for
the bonus, and if it is absolutely es-
sential that the bill be enacted at
this session Of Congress, it would be a
better plan to provide for the money
in this manner than to foist the GER
tiicate plan which is bound to prove
unsatisfactory and expensive to the
very ones whom it is supposed to
benefit.

of his years, and the new firm will
be a strong and active one. The store
now occupied by p. w. Hammer will
be rebuilt for the new firm as early
as possible, and once established in
their new quarters the "boys" will do
a driving and thriving business.
Mr.. Henry Keller has done lively
business in his new factory the past
season. During the three months
since the completion of his Tanning
Mill factory he has gotten out wood
work for 700 of his mills, and has
shut down his machinery for a time
for the purpose of finishing up the
machines, ready for market.
He has more orders than he can
possibly fill for the approaching sea-
son. He is making the, best mill in
the market and he don't care who
knows it.
Monday and Tuesday were real
spring days and overcoats were shed
and general change in appearance
ensued.
The equinoctial storm was brill
liant failure. Among the pleasantest
days of the season were those laid
down in the almanac as the ones
which should have been disagreeable
and stormy. \

Forty-two Years Ago
Mr.. J. Cooper of this village has
perfected a new washing machine
which has been tried by the most ex-
acting tests and has given in every
case perfect satisfaction, fairly as
tonishing in it's capacity both in the
quantity and quality Of its work.
The washing for large family
can be done in from fifteen minutes to
an hour according to the variety of
goods to be cleaned and requiring no
more time to wash fifty pieces than
five. 1t is accomplished by an ingen-
ious and altogether novel direct at
mospheric pressure-but it must be
seen to be thoroughly appreciated.
Fuller details will be given next
week. MIR. Cooper will commence
the manufacture of these machines
without delay as he has already con-
tracted for the material.
A new piece of side walk has been
laid on Third street in front of Miss
Medland's new building, making a
continuous walk from John K. How
ards corner to the Sank Centre

C. M. Sprague has severed his
connection with the business Of Mr.
Keller and on April LIST, will become
associated with j. B. Perkins in the

WORLD PHONE TALK.
DUE THIS YEAR
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Before this
year is ended, Secretary of State
Hughes may be able to converse with
Ambassadors Harvey in London, Her
rick in Paris and Houghtop in Berlin,
simply by lifting a telephone receiver
off the hook.
So rapid is the progress being made
in radio telephony, that within 4 few
months or year citizens of one coun-
try will be able to talk with the people
of another country thousands of miles
away with little more difficulty than
they now find in calling up their
neighbors, the National Geographic
Society stated today in survey of
radio developments.
The United States is particularly well
equipped with radio facilities for talk
ing across the seas, as the bulk of
the most powerful radio stations in the
world either are in this country or
under the control of this government.
Only one radio station in the world
uses regularly longer wave length
than any station under the control of
this government. And this station was
built by the United States navy. 1t is
the Lafayette station at Bordeaux,
France. It's wave length is $4,000
meters, approximately II miles. Mess
ages from this station are received
in Washington-4,0 900 miles from the
source. The Lafayette station occa-
sionaly is heard in French Indo- China,
5000 miles away. The navy erected
the station during the war and then
sold it to France.
