Additional Veteran Hospitals.
= OF STATE AND NATION :

Col. Charles R Forbes, director of
the United States Veterans Bureau, has
chosen two more sites for veteran hos
pitals. With the selection of St. Cloud,
MINI, as one OF them it is believed
that Minnesota and nearby sick and
wounded veterans will be well taken
care of. The lack of hospitals in Min
nesota caused the American Legion to
collect a fund of its own and start
building a hospital at Rochester. This
hospital will take care of between 25O
and $50 mental cases among service
men. The Legion's hospital, which will
be operated in connection with the
Mayo clinic, will look after surgical
and general cases.
Director Forbes also announced that
he has decided against the Great Lakes
Naval Training station as the site for
Michigan hospital for mental cases.
Instead Sl,jO0,0O0 will be spent for a
sanituium at Camp Custer. The
Michigan hospital will be OF 800 beds
capacity.
As far as can be learned no further
announcement has been made regard
ing the establishment of a mental hos
pital in New York state. The New
York Legion has just opened its Own
camp in the Adirondacks for the care
of tubercular eX-service men. Several
hundred of these diseased veterans are
being housed, fed and doctored by the
service mems organization Urgent
need, according to published state
ments, exists in the Empire State for
the quick erection of a hospital for
mental cases New York, western
Pennsylvania and certain sections of
the west are said to be hard hit by
the number of mentally unbalanced
veterans for which these sections have

THE SINGER

"Write me a song" said mighty king,
(Which the lips of the world will love to sing.
Make it tender, and make it true,
And bring me this song in day or two;
Have it thrill with the souls desire,
And touch each word with your magic fire.
And the poet wrote and his song was heard
But never heart in the land was stirred.
"Try once MORE" said the monarch then.
Bard go back to your gifted pen
And write a song which the world shall sing
But the poet answered. "Oh, gracious king
! would give my life if ] could obey,
But never a song can be penned that way
Though the mind would bow to your royal will,
The heart must sing-and the heart is still"
"Fool," said the king, you have words to use!
Put them down and the farest choose,
Smooth the lines in your skillful way
And the world shall sing what you write today.
Your song shall bring you an honored name
And you shall live in the halls of fame"
But the bard was sad for his king, he knew,
Demanded more than his skill could do.
Then from his heart came a simple song
Which swept like summer breeze along
Not set down at n kings command,
Polished and turned for purpose planned
Ordered and graved for a royal whim,
But something which sprang from the soul Of him,
As fair and sweet day in spring,
And just a song which he had to sing.
