party daunted one iota by the
pathetic reception accorded the
last delegation which argued the
case before the present Admins

negligible results.
The Collectivists have Just con.
cluded another convention In
which a platform reiterating the
demand for Immediate and COM

demands for complete "Filipinixa-

present these positions are filled

Of the United States. The Filipinos
also wish a native Filipino to
hold the position of vice. governor
and secretary Of public instruc-

to amend the organic act. the

Bureau Big Aid
to EX-SOldierS

All of the men whom the government
has undertaken to have trained were
unable to return to their old positions
on competitive basis with other
men.
Right Men for the Jobs.
The bureau Is trying to impress on
the public the fact that 1t need not
hesitate to employ the rehabilitated
men. The government is not sending
out any one-legged park gardeners. A
man who was 80 badly injured about
the face that he is at disadvantage
in meeting people Is not trained to be
a travelling salesman. On the other
hand, the loss of a leg does not af-
feet the work Of a craftsman and a
disfgured face Is not handicap to u
stock breeder.
The employment section is distinctly
proud of the fact that so many of the
bureaus trainees have greater earn
ing capacity now than they had Il
their pre-war occupations. A typical
case Is that of man who had been
a landscape gardener on large es-
tate. He lost one arm, and is now
an auditor in the government service
at $1,000 more a year than he was
earning before the war.
The Veterans bureau says that 1t is
starting its employment services with
men Of fine caliber. A report has just
come from the University of Florida
stating that the average scholarship
in its law department is S5.5 per cent
for trainees of the Veterans bureau,
while other students averaged 70 per
cent.-Frederick ]. Heskin in Chicago

Old Feud Alive

the lot of the Grifliths family in Dur
ham. 1t Is not clear whether there
was any ill-feeling between Sarah and
her husband. but after his death she
moved to Manchester, and in her will
she requested that she be buried In
the Joy family lot and not with her
husband.
Sarah survived her husband by 80
years, dying in 1887. She left an es-
tate of about $4,0O0-and will. Her
immediate heirs were Nancy S. Fesler,
her sister, and Samuel. her brother.
Apparently Nancy was not avaricious,
but the $4,000 would have been Of
more gratification to Samuel had It
not been for the will.
The stumbling block In the will was
the provision that suitable monument
be erected TO the memory OF Sarah and
the burial lot fitted up. Nancy and
Samuel, the administrators. differed as
to how this provision should be con-
strued; Ndncy insisting that an i'm.
posing monument be erected, while
Samuel held that a suitable monu-
ment" meant merely simple head
stone sucn as had been erected at the
graves of other members Of the Joy
family buried In the lot.
Nancy, however. was frm for the
suitable monument" and insisted that
her sister deserved q more imposing
commemorntion than q mere head
stone.
After this controversy over the suit.
ableness Of the monument had gone on
for some time, Samuel became bitter.
Deciding it was time to let the world
know the folly of his sister, Sarah. in
leaving such n will. he erected about
her grave. which was still without a
stone. board fence on which he
painted the words "a $4,000 Grave"

this overt act, Arioch decided that 1t
was time for him To take IL hand IN
the proceedings, and one dark night
he removed the fence with its sarcastic
legend and left the grave once more
bare.
Samuel was not to be thwarted In
his purpose, however. and his next
move was To put up II small stone bear
ing the words, II Am Socialist"
What became of the stone remains a
mystery. However. the son Of Nancy
Fesler had taken sides with his mother
and with the Griffiths brothers and its
disappearance Is credited TO him.
