veins. An unfamiliar excitement, al
most an exultation, had come upon
him. He lowered his head nearly to
his hands that rested in his lap, then
waited a full five minutes more.
Then he opened his eyes. The
light had grown around him. His
hands were quite plain. Slowly, as
a man raises his eyes to miracle,
he lifted his face.
The forest was no longer obscured
in darkness. The great trees had
emerged, and only the dusk as of
twilight was left between He saw
them plainly,-their symmetrical
forms, their declining limbs, their tall
tops piercing the sky. He saw them
as they were,-those ancient, eternal
symbols and watchmen of the wilder
ness. And he knew them at last, ac-
quaintances long forgotten but re-
membered now.

But Simon didn't strike. He laughed
instead-s simple deep note of utter
and depthless scorn. Then he drew
back and let Bruce pass on up the

The strangers face changed too. He
did not flush, however. His lips curled
ever so slightly, revealing aninstant's
glimpse of strong, rather well-kept
teeth. His eyes were narrowing too {;
and they seemed to come to life with
singular sparkles and glowings be-
between the lids.
"Well?" he suddenly demanded.
Every man in the rOom-eXcept one
started. The one exception was
Bruce himself. He was holding hard
on his nerve control, and he only con-
tinued to stare coldly.
"Are you the merchant" Bruce
asked.
"No, amt" the other replied. "You

CONGRESSMAN MONDELL
WRITES EX-SERVICE MEN

Congressman Frank w. Mondell.
under whose leadership the Soldier
Bonus bill passed the House OF Rep
resentatives with an overwhelming
majority has written to several ex-
service men in this county pointing
out to them the fact that there are
many dangers still confronting the
bill and that every e~x-service maj
should watch its progress closely:
Congressman Mondell's letter is as
follows:
Il have long since learned that
eternal vigilance is the price OF sue
cess in securing legislation, and I
am therefore writing you to invite
your assistance in urging the early
passage by the Senate of H. R. 1O874,
the Veterans Adjusted Compensa-
ton Act. without amendments likely
to defeat its final enactment.
LAS you are aware, we encount-
cred no end Of difficulties, some OF
them rather unexpected in securing
the consideration Of the measure in
the House, but the final vote. 333 to
20, on March 23rd, ought to be con-
vlncing as to the sentiment of the
nations representatives.
Notwithstanding this perfectly
overwhelming vote, the enemies OF
the legislation hope either to put the

cities and TIE farmer found 1t i'm
possible to secure farm help un-
lees he paid wages on the govern
meats eost-plus basis. Thus the
government increased the farmers
expenses at the Anne time that 1t
curtailed his receipts.
Moreover, the McAdoo manage
ment of the railroads. after they
were taken " by the government,
loaded upon the railroads vastly
greater annual expenditures. There
would perhaps have been nc COM
plant Of this II the McAdoo regime
had at the same time increased the
passenger and freight rates to be
collected by the. railroads SO that
their revenues would be increased in
proportion to their expenditures.
This Mr.. McAdoo did not do. with the
result that following the war 1t be-
came absolutely necessary to in
crease freight and passenger rates in
order to make up in some measure
the revenues which the railroads
were unjustly denied at the time
when the government increased their
expenses. This blow of larger
freight rates fell heavily upon the
farmers, for farm products consti-
tute a large proportion of railroad
traffic. The farmer would have had

ate. or to so amend it as to make its
enactment into law very doubtful.
Hence the necessity OF making it
very clear that the veterans of the
World War are expecting prompt
action.
Il am not surprised at the tactics
OF the avowed enemies OF the legis-
~lation, but l have been surprised at
n attitude OF some OF it's alleged
friends in suggesting changes which
under present circumstances, would
be fatal. or in proposing other leg
i~slatiOn somewhat similar to certain
features Of h Compensation bill
which. IL taken up for consideration
by the congress at this time. would
afford an excuse to sidetrack or de-
feat the Compensation bill. or elm
mate some of its more important
features.
For instance. my attention has
reen called to earnest appeals which
have recently been made on behalf
Of Senate 1884. Senate 1884 is a
general reclamation act and while
it has recently been amended in an
attempt to make its provisions avail
able to a certain exent to veterans.
1t Is by no means exclusively a vet
Grams reclamation act. and many
Of its provisions could not be made
satisfactorily applicble to a veterans
reclamation project. Whatever may
be the virtues OF this bill as a gen.
eral proposition of reclamation. its
agitation at this time tends to raise
an issue as between this legislation
and the adjusted compensation act.
"The land settlement provision
which Is Title Eight of the Adjusted
Compensation Act as it passed the
House, Is a complete reclamation
statute drawn and proposed on be
half Of the veterans exclusively. 1t
was n of the features OF the four
fold plan recommended to congress
by the legislative committee of the
Legion and made a part of the Com
pensatiOn bill which passed the house
Of representatives in May. 1920. 1t
has been Endorsed repeatedly by the
Legion convention. by Legion Posts.
and by many individual veterans. To
raise a question at this time as be-
tween this reclamation plan and
another general plan containing fea-
lures that no Legion organization
has ever Endorsed. is calculated to
throw doubt on the Compensation
act and particularly to jeopardize
this highly helpful. beneficial. and
constructive feature under which
veterans will secure the opportunity
to help improve and to own their
homes and farms.
May I suggest the %propriety OF
writing our senators and the Senate
Finance Committee Of which SEN
ator Porter J. McCumber is chair
man. urging favorable consideration
not only Of the bill as a whole but
of Title Eight the land settlement
provision. Very truly yours,
F. w. MONDELL."

There is no feeling against Senator
Kendrick in the Agriculture Com
mittee. and 1t was. OF course. en-
tirely proper for your association
to indorse Senator kendrick as a
good president and friend. but we
were greatly surprised that he
would permit a resolution. giving
him credit for the Packer bill. to be
passed. As a matter of fact, Chair
man Haugen OF the Agriculture Com
mittee introduced the bill that was
substituted in the Senate for the
senate bill. and while Senator Ken
drtck, who represented the minority
in the conference finally reluctantly
agreed to the Maugen bill. and
abandoned his original idea of Pack
er legislation. 1t was a surprise to
some of us to know tina he even
Endorsed or would be willing to in
dorse. the legislation.
Senator kendriCk was in the SEN
ate when his party had all the reins

history or our country was there
more necessity for packer legisla-

for complaint. The fact OF the MAJ

records. that the government with
held from the farmers some Of the
profits OF initiation and precipitated
its d~eflation program at the very
moment when It would be most injur-

will be remembered that in an eff

food congress passed an act which
was supposed to guarantee q min
imum price for wheat. Under the
administration Of that law during
the Wilson administration, the min

enjoyed the profits Of great initiation
the farmer was not permitted to do

to pay the higher prices which in

during the war were limited.

1t isn't always good policy to
claim too much. particularly OF those
things In which we are not the lead
ing performers. Senator Kendrick
and his friends are finding this out
in the matter OF the resolutions they
were so successful in getting through
the American National Live Stock
Association. In those resolutions,
they claimed practically all credit

passage through congress Of the
Packer legislation. whereas. the &c
ord shows that he had mighty little
to do with 1t even strongly oppos-
ing the substitution Of the House bill
for the Senate bill introduced by
Senator Kenyon and himself. but the
House bill prevailed and became a
law.

It is recognized by reserve bank off
