SOLDIERS BONUS AND REVIVAL OF BUS

SOLDIERS BONUS AND REVIVAL OF BUS
INESS-Diagnosng disease properly is the
function OF the doctors, medical or otherwise Dis
eases of the body polite so prevalent at this
time, and their symptoms plain that many rem
cdes are being advanced to help the patient The
most acute condition is certainly the deplorable
lack of circulating medium. Lack OF employment
and consequent low prices OF farm products and a
S:agnation in business in general are the symptoms
which indicate plainly this unhealthy state Of af-
fairs
Since every interest, from the farm the owrk shop
and tie mercantile world, are mutually effected
it may be possible to the cooperation of
public sentiment to apply some feasible remedy to
change this stagnated condition. No one, with
any appreciation of the great sacrifices made by
most of the men who served their country during
the World War, can have any reasonable objection
to their receiving some sort of adjusted compensa-
ton through Government aid
The main issue seems to be the manner and the
means by which that can be done without adding
additional and burdensome taxes, either OF bust
ness institutions the public at large 1t is appar-
ent that the sales tax" is Objectionable as NEAR
TO raise the money for this adjusted compensation.
snce to do so would continuously force the un-
pleasant and unpatriotic thought that the addi
tonal cost to the article purchased is being used
as soldiers bonus and thus in time make the
Toys the scapegoats of the nation. On the other
hand we are of the opinion that big business" in
terests are sufficiently entrcnchcd in the legisIa
i've halls OF the nation to protect themselves from
any direct tax to meet this additional drain on the
national treasury
eW are printing today in another column. the
full text OF recent speech delivered by Senator
Thomas f. Watson, on the Soldier Compensation
Act which contains the most reasonable and com
prehensiVe solution of both the means with which
70 meet this additional cost to the Federal Govern
ment and at the same time relieve the money strin
gency. The remedy is not original with Senator
Watson and is not one untred by this nation The
war between the states was carried on with treas
ury notes, such as he advocates to have issued
no one doubts the ability of this generation TO do
as well in any field of endeavor as have nrevious
ones
BY issuing treasury notes for Soldiers comncn
sation, we add the necessary money to our circu
iation to reuvenate trade open factories and
bring the prices of farm products up to a living
standard. Why cannot the various interested fac
tors in our National Legislative Halls agree on
this measure and thus end this period of bankrupt
cy and unemployment?

THE FARM LOAN BONDS-It is expected that
the %5O0OO0O far moan bonds now being offer
ed by the Federal land banks will be sold net to
the holders A. per cent. The demand for this in
vestmen indicates that it should be possible to fl
nance the countrys farming operations at very
reasonable rate, thus relieving the leading cause
of business trouble in the agricultural districts
The farmers of the country demand better cred
II facilities, and complain that after mortgaging
their real estate they can't get the loans they need
to carry their crops until the same can be marketed
o advantage. They ought not to be forced to sell
their product all in lump soon after harvest

TO the mortgage plan operated through the land
banks, to give the farmers as good credit facilities
for carrying their products as other business men

Things worth Knowing.

Saving time and gas-When
making a pie make enough pastry
for at least three extra shells and
bake at same time you bake your
pie. Now, with very little time
and gas, you may have many de-
licious pies such as lemon, choco-
late, cocoanut, butterscotch, French
cream, pineapple cream and numer-
GUS others. The filling is made in
a very short time and the oven
lighted just long enough to brown
the meringue, at same time crisp
ing the shell.
Novel laundry listing-In send
ing handkerchief to the laundry,
in order to avoid the loss of hand
kerchiefs and of temper as well,
haste them on a long tape, usually
two together OF course, they are
returned unironed, but who would
not be willing to press them out
rather than not to have them re-
turned to you at all, particularly
in these days of high priced linen.
To clean white paint-Mix lac
quer thinner with No. 1 pummice
to a paste; rub briskly, wash off
with warm water and polish with a
good brass polish. Then apply one
coat of lacquer.
To test tmegs-Prick them
with a pin. If good the oil will in
stantly spread around the pune
ture.

Dear Mrs Thompson: / am very
much in love with a very nice
young man. When he is with me
he always raves about me. He
says 1 am the only girl he loves
and l can't believe it because he
takes other girls to the movies and
to ice cream parlors and such
places. He has asked me to marry
him and l have given my consent.
What should 1 do? Should l go
on loving this man or give him up
and let him win some other girls
heart?
1 simply can't forget him. I am
nearly 81 and he is a few years
my senior. l have known him for
a year and he has always treated
me as nice as he could when with
me. WILD IRISH ROSE.

Suggestions.

If, when you make your aprons
for the kitchen, nursery, or sewing
room, you choose a pattern which
makes the skirt of the apron the
same width at the top and bottom
(at the belt and hem) you will
have two aprons from the same
material. The upper part wears
thin much sooner than the lower
part. When this occurs, rip the
hem out and reverse the apron,
putting the hemmed part into the
belt and hemming the part that was
in the belt. Think of this when
you cut your next aprons.
Did you get a lot of pretty color
ed handkerchiefs for Christmas?
One girl, thinking such gifts too
pretty for ordinary uses is wearing
few of them as vests, with her
suit and sweaters. Maybe you have
dainty collars that match the colors
of the ''hankys." Try the combi-
nation.
Before opening a cocoanut al
ways place it in an oven few min
utes The warmth makes opening
comparatively easy.
Darker tan shoes-If when buy
ing brown shoes the color is too
light and one hesitates to purchase
on this account it may be remedied
by rubbing with a cloth dipped in
ammonia, allowing the leather to
dry in between whites, and repeat
ing the process. 1t secures a nice
dark tan both quickly and effect
lively.
Linen is far more absorbtive than
cotton, therefore, it dries dishes
more satisfactorily. Moreover the
minute fibers being more loosely
held together it gives up dirt, es-
pecially grease, much more read
lily.
Furniture polish-To one quart
of lukewarm water add one table
spoon of vinegar and one table
spoon of olive oil. Wash small
space with soft cloth and polish
with dry one Vinegar cuts film
and dirt; oil softens and polishes.
! Before putting raisins or other
| sticky substance through the food
chopper squeeze a few drops of
lemon juice in the chopper The

! Always soak vessels that have
contained -four, potatoes and

FRAMED CHINTZ MAKE GOOD
PICTURES.
A new trick is this:

A new trick is this:
In chintz decorated room have
plain walls decorated in gray, tan,
light blue or green, which is again
in vogue in interiors.
Have no pictures of the conven-
tional sort on the walls. But in
stead cut from the chintz, of the
large patterned sort, several panels
of different sizes and shapes, each
containing one big motif, and have
these framed.
In this way one might contain a
big bird, another might contain one
group of flowers, and a fourth per
haps some fruit. These four panels
would be hung on the four walls OF
the room.
OF course two could be made
alike, if you wanted more panels
or did not have four separate de-
signs in the cretonne. These make
really very effective wall decora-
tons and are something new and
interesting.

Fashion NeUs
Notes by Wire|
to The Argus

Paris, May 30-It is correct at
present for the hat, to form a back
ground for the face. This is why
it is more than ever important for
a woman to select shade which is
distinctly favorable to her COM
plexion. The red hat persists, in
spite of red hot weather and moth
ing is more charming than blonde
head outlined against the down
turned red brim. Turning down
the rather wide brimmed hat in
back is the way in which a back
ground is achieved. The cool ocean
green and, again a high complex
ion, the gray or biege is especially
effective.
London, May 30.-A fashionable
modiste has declared that no wom-
ans wardrobe is complete this sea-
son without at least two frocks of
crepe marocain- These frock5,
moreover, must be very simply
made A rounded neck, a low waist
line, slightly bloused bodice, and
a length about three inches longer
than last seasons are the essen
tials. To show off the supple beau
ty of this fabric, the modiste forbids
embroidery for the bodice though
admits little on the belt and skirt.
An overdress is permissible, and il
may be split up the side in tunic eff

Paris. May 30.-The Parisienne
has suddenly remembered the nape
of her neck. For a long while she
has thought little of this adjunct
with inference. if at all. So deeply
has her attention been concentrat-
ed on the bodice low cut in front,
that even when low cut backs came
into favor the nape of the neck did
not much attract her notice. Now,
however, she is making amends. a
good many women have realized
that the nape of the neck is really
prettier than the collar bone. Con-
sequently we have the collar which
is high in front and somewhat low
er in the back, and the Parisienne
is rejoicing in newly discovered.
New York, May 80. A pretty
waistline is possible in frocks of
the thin, esasily moulded fabrics
suitable for summer wear. The
skirt, made very full, is gathered
onto the bodice with a two-inch
heading of the material left as a

waist. Hastily be it known that
