LEGION NOTES

II r u " N NO IE .
e
The Adjutant is in receipt of let
ter from Senator McCumber in which
he states that there is no doubt at
|all as to the passing of the .Compen-
sation Bill at this session.. The only
thing that will take the time is fig
uring out where to get the money
from. It seems to the opposition to
the bill that we will all want the
money, whereas, without doubt about
80 per cent will take advantage of
the other provisions, such as paid up
life insurance, homes, land or educa-
ton.
Several of the fellows have brought
or sent in their discharge papers to
be recorded the last week, but there
are a good many more in the county
that should be recorded. Snap into
it and mail them today.

to make the "birds" that soldiered in
Siberia feel homesick.

Work is being rushed on the de-
tails Of furnishing seed apd feed in
Emmons county this yeaf, as provid-
ed for at the recent Special session
Of the county commissioners. Tie
Record will attempt to give herewith
an outline Of the plans, >4nd the re-
squirements Of those,savailing them
selves Of this assistance.
First Of ALL it should be kept in
mind that the county is not donating
feed or seed to anybody, as was the
sgrasshopper dope, for instance. The
county will be bonded for $125, 900 or
as much thereof as is necessary to
supply the wants Of the farmers Of
the county. But, in each case, the
applicant for seed, or seed and feed,
will be required to give q first lien
on his 1922 crop, and the debt will
be further lien against the land on
which such seed is used, the owner
being required to sign the application
where the land is worked by . renter.
Another important thing to re-
member is that, except in the case
of another Countrywide catastrophe,
there will be no additional tax be-
cause of such bonding for seed and
feed. The bonds cover q period Of
five years and the law requires a
sinking fund to- be provided for one
fifth Of the amount Of the bonds each
year. However, those securing as
ssistance viii have to repay the amount
this fall if they get any crcp what
ever, as the county gets the first re-
turns. Unless there is an entire and
complete failure, such repayments
will more than provide the necessary
one-fifth. .,ss5
The bonds will draw six per cent
interest. and the farmers will have
to pay six per cent interests. AS the
notes are repaid, the money will be
placed in the seed and feed bonding
sinking fund, and will drop six per
cent interest as time deposits. The
law provides that each farmer must
give a first lien on his crop for an

PLAZA HOTELS
ANOTHER YEAR
Senator FernaId Says No Pro-
diction Accurate as to Per-
manent Closing

The Government hotels on the
Union Station plaza will continue FOR
at least another year, Senator Fernadl,
chairman Of the Senate Committee on
buildings and Grounds, announced To-
day.
1T Is not possible to make any
accurate predictions" said Senator
Fernald, but I should say that the
hotels win be continued until there
is need for extensive repair work upon
them. I do not think Congress will
care to make any appropriation for
their rehabilitation.
Probably they VIII be good for
one or two more years. They are
paying their way now and are not a
burden upon the Federal treasury. I
think, however, the Government will
60 out Of the hotel business before
lcng."
Senator Fernald wrote a letter to
Senator King today askiag whether
he desired a hearing to be held upon
his bill to transfer the park police =.
the city to the metropolitan police de-
partment.
Senator Fernald said he had not
received a single communication on
this subject from any supporters of
the plan and was inclined to be OPP
posed to It,

culture.

Bathel''s Body Found
on Beach at Zion
Zion Has New Mystery in Finding of
Body of Drowned Man There
Saturday Afternoon.

"
An inquest was held at Zion City on
Saturday afternoon to determine the
cause of death of man found in a
bathing suit on the lake front south of
25th street. The body was found by
some teamsters on Saturday morning
about 8 o'clock and they reported the
matter to Chief 7. r. Becker. The
men are hauling gravel from the lake
front and as they were proceeding TO
their work they suddenly came upon a
man clad in bathing suit lying dead
beside piece of timber, although he
was not tied to it. This timbe was
Is feet long and s inches, wide, and
the water from the lake had been wash
ing over both man and timber.
Under the direction of Coroner L. j.
Taylor of Waukegan, the jury went to
the morgue to examine the body, but
the face was so battered in that it was
impossible to identify the man. He
wore bathing suit consisting of navy
blue wooden pants and white wooden
shirt. Around his waist he wore a,
leather belt.
Some of the members of the jury
were of the opinion that the man may
have met his death while bathing at
one of the beaches in Chicago and the
supposition was supported by the fact
that the newspapers there short time
ago printed story telling of the find
ing of clothes on a beach in Chicago
and the failure to find any clue to the
owner. A wind that had been blowing
from the southeast also strengthened
the supposition that the body may have
drifted from Chicago. The man was
5 feet s inches in height, and looked
to be about $50 pounds in weight, al
though the body was badly bloated,
and it was difficult therefore to calcu-
late correctly. He appeared to be a
man about 40 years of age, they said.
Undertaken Otis Scripter received
orders to bury the body Saturday night
in the potter's field at the county's ex-
pense., He was ordered to keep the
clothing for the purpose of further
Identification.
In their verdict, the jury came to
the conclusion that the man "came to
his death by drowning, and we are un-
able to determine whether lit was acct
dental or not"

News dispatches received through
the Associated Press, brought word to
Kenosha on Sunday evening that the
Misses Belle and Edna Gable, of Keno
sha, now on vacation tour in the far
west, had been injured in a motor acct
dent near Portland, Oregon. Members
of the family, whose home is on Selma
avenue, had received no messages up
until late hour this afternoon res
garding the accident and the meagre
press dispatches were the only reports
that could be secured.
These reports declared that twelve
persons were injured, six seriously
when sightseeing automobile ran off
the Columbia highway near Hutnomah
Falls, Oregon, Saturday afternoon
about four o'clock. The big motor bus
skidded off the highway colliding with
a tree. Among those seriously hurt
were the two Kenosha young women.
Unable to Get Messages.
Relatives of the two Kenosha young
women, have attempted in vain to get a
message from Portland telling of their
exact condition. The two left Keno
sha several weeks ago on sightseeing
tour of the far west, including trips to
Washington and Oregon. The last
word received from them stated that
they had reached Montana and gave
no address in Portland. For this rea-
san IL has nrove7o yary dif1cuIt IN
reach them by telegraph.
The young women have many friends
in Kenosha who are anxious regarding
their condition. Miss Belle Cable is a
teacher at the Durkee school here,
where she has been very popular and
successful. Miss Edna Gable is a
private music teacher with large
clientele in Kenosha. The news that
they had met with misfortune cast a
cloud over the entire city on Sunday
evening.

THE governors of seven states have
Simultaneously announced that they

cies of the situation demand action.
Bitter Against States.
"You will have no trouble in guess
ing what kind Of action is thus meant
on the part of the national and state
governments which you shouted for,
voted for, invested your last dollar
for, and crossed the Atlantic to fight
and be gassed and die for in the war
to make the world in general and Am
erica in particular, safe for democracy
and liberty.
"And now that the war is over and
Kaiserism is dead and democracy and
liberty are on top, this same crowd to
a man, to whom you rallied in such
a frenzy of enthusiasm, to compensate
you for your noble patriotism, is now
lined up against you in battle array
and ready to shoot you down like
dogs.
at is true, Mr.. Union Man, that your
craft union leaders with scarcely an
exception, stood with the Wall Street
profiteers in bowling for war and rush
ing you, the common herd, into the
trenches to be gassed, multilated and
murdered while they remained in the
rear to receive the plaudits of the
plutocratic press for their patriotism.
But that does not excuse you for you
chose those leaders and were re-
sponsible for them, and after all, the
leaders are about as fit or otherwise as
the rank and file that elects them.
Crying Need for Unity.
eff, in the light of this situation,
you do not realize the crying need for
unity for solidarity on every front, re-
CARELESS of creed or color, you are in
deed in pathetic plight and your case
is all but hopeless. Your weak craft
unions have got to be converted into
a powerful industrial union, and you
have got to cut loose once and for all
from the rotten political parties of
your masters. Your interests as work
ers and producers are absolutely iden-
teal and there is no earthly reason
why those who are employed in the
same industry should belong to differ
ent unions or give their votes to diff
ferent political parties.
''The struggle is entering upon its
critical stage and whether the toll
ing hosts shall emerge in triumph and
establish social democracy in the
world or go down in humiliating de-
feat for another historical period of
economic bondage, depends entirely
upon the capacity of the workers to
muster their forces and stand togeth-
er, strike together, vote together and
fight together all along the line"
