Our late allies recognized the jus
tice of this claim for compensation.
Australia, that paid her soldiers 40
per cent more than our men received,
paid all veterans $40 to SIS a week
until they obtained employment.
Canada paid an average of $500 extra
compensation to each veteran and S75
a month unemployment pay. England
and France paid cash compensation.
In all these cases compensation was
paid soon after the meuATere demobil-
lied. There was no waiting o. quib-
bling. These nations owe money to
the United States, a debt approx
mately S11 100000 900. Our total
national debt is about 100000, 900;
Great Britain's, S31, 000,000,G00;

Adenoids interfere with breathing
because they form barrier across
the back opening Of the nose and force
the child 20 breathe through his mouth,
which gives him vacant, stupid look.
A child with adenoids is predisposed
to colds, bronchitis, Pneumonia, and
even tuberculosis, because the air he
breathes is not filtered through the
nose as is that of the average per-
son. With part of air canal INSTRUCTED
the child does not get enough air into
his lungs and his red blood corpuscles
suffer from lack of oxygen.
Adenoids spoil child's voice be-
cause they fiji! Up the upper part of
the throat where the voice resonance
is ordinarily made, and the child
talks as ii he had bad cold all the
time. They also impair the sense OF
smell and taste so that the child has
very little appetite and his whole
system is undernourished in conse-
oucnce. Because adenoids cause the
mouth to be used as breathing tube,
the arch of the teeth bends with All

cning of the upper lip, so that not

the shape of his mouth is spoiled too.

Immediately reiterated their stand IN
favor of compensation and the Legion
legislative committee notified the
President that the fight would be con-
t.nued for enactment CT the law.
When Congress reconvened in Sep
TENDER, hearings were begun IN the
House and Senate, that continued into
1922. Principal attention was PAID
to the means of raising the money to
pay compensation. The Legion has
refused to adviss Congress how this
should be done, believing it is the
duty and province of Congress to de-
termine how this valid claim shall De
paid.
The Legion also has consistently
held to the position that the word
"bonus" is a misnomcr for the bill,
that adjusted compensation is some
thing due ex-scrvice men, not as
gratuity for military service rem
dered, but as an approximate read
justmcnt of the economic losses ne
sustained by reason of that service.
The bill aims to give the soldier, who
offered his life with his services, a
compensation that will more nearly
approach that of the laborer who re-
manned at home, secure from danger,
and whose compensation increased
from 200 to 800 per cent and, meas
ured by the amount of labor actually
performed, far beyond these figures.

get enough rest to repair his growing

Adenoids frequently cause deafness
because they prevent the ear from
receiving air from the back of the
throat, and often the INSTRUCTED and
diseased tubes infect the rest of the
ear and cause earacne or even alb
sesses. For all Of these reasons chill
dren with adenoids are always sub
normal, either in weight, general
health or mentality, and the only safe
thing is to have the adenoids removed
as soon as they become bad. This
IS a simple operation, but should be
performed only by nose and throat
specialist or by competent general
surgeon if the specialist is not avail
able. 1t is astonishing how muck the
child's general health will improve af-
ter such an operation, and he should
begin to gain in weight and general
bodily resistance Immediately.

Genoa a Propaganda Center.

1t is fair to presume that 10 censorship is
being applied to the press dispatches sent out
from Genoa; at least, the divergent opinions ex-
pressed by the multitude OF correspondents there
assembled justifes the assumption that the tclc-
graph wires are untrammecd. Reasoning from
the same standpoint the conclusion is equally
easy that the minds OF the 1,l00-odd CORE
spondents there present also free as the noun
tain bird. Only on such basis is it possible to
account for the conflicting tales that come from
the conference. 1t is just barely possible that in
each instance the tale has some substantial foun-
dation in fact, but it is scarcely possible that
either Of the many yarns represents the exact
status OF affairs over there. All of this makes
clear understanding of the progress impossible.
for any conclusion must finally be tinctured by
doubt raised by the variance in rectals of what
takes place there. One thing may be accepted as
pretty well established, that the conference has
afforded fine opportunity for the propagandists,
and that they are all at work overtime, broad
casting views and opinions calculated to con-
fuse and obscure the American mind as to what
is actually taking place in Europe. Sometime
the result of the deliberations will be made
known, but until that is definitely settled, watch
ers in this country will be kept pretty much at
sea by ronnancers over there

Control of Stockyards.

The decision OF the supreme eour, in the
ttoekyards case is another stone in the wall that
sustains the power OF congress over interstate
commerce Holding that the business carried on
at the yards is part OF interstate trade the court
disposes OF the theory that because OF the loea-
ton OF the yards they are under state control
exclusively. Also, the court emphasizes the rule
already laid down in the transportation act cases,
that where the conduct OF business under state
control is nimical 10 similar business carried on
Gnder interstate control, then the matter comes
within the power OF congress to regulate.
Slowly extending the fabric OF the Sherman
law to the government OF great industries, the
rulings OF the court have the support OF reason
and, with clear understanding OF what is in
yolved. should in the end prove beneficial to the
interests most drcetely affected. The stockyards
control act grew out Of report made by the
Federal Trade commission, in which the packing
industry was vigorously attacked, and from
which came an order directing absolute divorce
OF ownership between the packing houses and the
stockyards. This latter decree has not as yet
been entirely carried out because of the diff
ficulty of securing capital to make it possible.
In this respect it partakes to some extent of
the order that forbade the packers from engaging
in other lines OF food production, and so deprived
the western fruit shippers OF the use Of the pack
ers refrigerator cars. Such details may be ad-
justed. but the principle is established
Nebraska will feel the effect of the law, for

Chosen for | L.ofty Service.

Public announcement by the election commits
sioner Of the judges, clerks and other officials of
elections in Douglas county is notable re-
minder that one Of the most important functions
OF democracy is the periodic selection of its
office bearers Such selection requires the set
ting up OF machinery, more or less elaborate, to
carry ON the election. In community where
the number of qualified voters runs high into
the thousands, the judges and clerks must be
numbered by the hundreds, and their selection
becomes very weighty and significant pro-
cedure. Under the law this task is imposed on
the elections commissioner, who is by the au-
thority Of his office charged with the duty of
constituting the boards that handle the votes.
Men and women are called to this high service
without distinction other than their known
probity and capacity for handling the work.
Their business is to safeguard the election, to see
that ballots are freely cast and fairly counted, so
that the purity of the government may be pro-
tected at its fountain. Americans habtually refer
their grievances to the ballot box, and on the
outcome Of the voting rests the decision of the
greatest Of issues. For this reason, no part Of the
public service to which citizen may be called
transcends that OF judge or clerk Of election for
as they are faithful so is the election honest and
as elections are honest, so is government made
secure. The list of names published by the elec-
ton commissioner really is roll of honor.

Uncle Sam as Your Banker.

Five years ago the first Liberty bond drive
was on, the offer being government bonds to
bear 3H per cent interest, and the issue was
subscribed by at least twice. Presence Of war
stimulated the purchase of these bonds, but the
real reason was the faith Of the people OF the
United States in themselves.
" Has that faith diminished? The Bee thinks
+it has not But, here is another proposition: The
government short time ago offered an unlimited
amount Of savings certificates, on which the in
terest rate would be 4H per cent, to be COM
pounded sem-annually and run for five years.
BY this means the treasury officials sought to
tempt a.lot of money to come out of hiding and
4 get towork again. The end has not been gained
What is the matter? No one seems to know
The apprehension Of panic, of bank failures and
the like, was not warranted, and business condi-
tions have progressed to point where any dam
ger Of panic has passed. Money, therefore. is
safe in the banks. The government is offering
higher rate of interest than savings banks pay,
and on the security Of the government itself, the
best in the known world. @
Do the people who have boarded money be-
lieve it is safer in hiding than it would be in
possession Of the United States? Is any form Of
investment better than United States bond
bearing AZ per cent INTEREST," Especially when
the savings certificate so represented is redeem-
able at any time, and therefore liquid asset
equal to the cash itself?
Uncle Sam is willing to be your banker If
you do not trust him, then the old stocking, or
the tin can, or wherever you hide your money,
IS the place for it. II idleness is better than eff
fort then your money is doing better in hiding.
But if you want your money to earn more for
you, and under absolutely safe conditions, buy
postal savings certificate and quit worrying.

Shifting Industry West.

omsns oi great changes that arc coming Ia
the middle west were pointed out by James X.
Howard, president OF the American Farm Bureau
federation, at the recent conference OF the Mis-
sissippi Valley association al Kansas City. One
is the shifting OF industries from the coast 10
mdeonnent. The other. closely linked with the
first. is the development OF inland water
transportation through the Grea, Lakes. the Mis-
souri, Mississippi and tributary rivers.
The vast distance that stretches between the
factories OF the cast and the raw materials OF
the ives, lays a heavy toll on production. No
other great industrial nation ever developed
under such handicap. aud Mr. Howard declares
that We have been able 10 do so only By reason
OF the richness OF our basic resources and the
relative eheapness OF our long rail haul
Rail rates now have been advanced so that
farmers are groanng under the cost OF market.
ing their goods. This fact alone will drive the
inland waterways into use. Elee,riicaiion aud
other technical improvements may hold out
some hope OF lower freight charges. bu, Mr.
Howard speaks the mind OF the middle west
when he declares that the solution OF the problem
Of transportation does no, lie in the direction of
the development, OF overland traffic.
Natures way is always trustworthy. II seems
almost a defiance of natural law for Americans
not to build industries in the locality where raw
material is Immediately at hand. And what can
be said OF the neglect OF the water routes to the
sea-
Utilization OF the Great Lakes for ocean car
riers is the biggest issue before the American
people. Mr.. Howard asserts His statement that
the proceeds from hydro-elec,rie power would
pay the cost is backed up by engineering re-
ports. That is the natural route to Europe
The development of the Missouri Mississippi and
Ohio rivers, as this farm leader says. links up as
part OF the same project, giving outlet to South
America and through the Panama canal TO the
Orient.
