M'NARY SAYS BONUS
WILL Develop Arid
zones OF FAR West

WASHINGTON Aug. 2S.-Congress
is given an opportunity to do a grand
thing in empire building" in connec-
ton with the soldiers bonus, Senator
McNary, Republican, Oregon, declared
today in the senate in urging his re
clamation amendment to that measure.
Calling attention that in every war
the government had provided as aid
land for veterans, he argued that
there was no good reason for the
abandonment of this national policy
at this time.
This amendment is not novel in
a-ly of its provisions" he said. Its
purpose and scope is to encourage the
development of the agricultural re,
sources of the United States through
federal and state cooperation, giving
preference in the matter of employ
ment and the establishment of rural
homes to those who have served in
the military and naval forces of thc
| United States in the world war, the
Spanish-American war and the Phil
! ippine insurrection.

not supercede or displace the presen
/ reclamation law. That law will con
tinue to operate exclusively in it,
present field"
Senator McNary quoted from reports
of Secretary Fall and other federal of
ficials showing that thousands of vet
erans desired land aid.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Confi-
dence that a settlement of the anthra-
cite coal strike would be reached
within a few days was expressed by
an official at the White House today
shortly after the return of President
Harding from a weekend cruise down
the Potomac river, with his strike
cabinet"
Because of this optimism and a
strong undercurrent of opposition in
congress to seizure of mines and rail-
roads and the impression prevailed
that action on legislation authorizing
| the president to take the anthracite
mines and some rail lines would be de-
layed.
1t was pointed out that President
Harding stated last week the legisla
ton would not be pushed if settle
ment of the anthracite strike was prob
able early this week.

Irish Bury Collins;
Big Crowd Attends;
Fear Dublin Attack
(Rv United Pressl

DUBLIN, Aug. 2S.-Ire;ard tried to
lay aside its bitterness for day to
bury Michael Collins. From the great
Dublin cathedral, where the body of
the slain leader lay in solemn state
before the high altar. the most i'm
pressive funeral cortege ever wit
messed here wound its slow way to-
ward Glasnevin cemetery, just outside
the capital, where Irish heroes are
buried.
For an hour, before the funeral pro-
cession started, all work in southern
ireland ceased. Solemn requiem mass
was celebrated for the repose of Col
Inns soul. A sorrowing nation, not
yet recovered from the shock of its
leaders passing, was represented in
Dublin by thousand from all parts of
the south.
Roads Blocked
Roads near Dublin cathedral were
blocked with hundreds OF jaunting
cars, donkey carts and other vehicles
which brought farmers, priests and
soldiers of the Free State army to
pray for Collins.
Then, after the highest dignitaries
of Irelands church had asked repose
and eternal happiness for the slain
/ general, Collins comrades in arms
the Dublin Brigade took charge of the
body Out past PheniX park, former
seat of British authority, from which
Collins once fought to free Ireland, the
slow moving cortege wended. Other
troops of the Free State patrolled the
side streets, behind the crowds tha
were lined up 10 deep to see the pro
cession.
Fear Attack.
An attack on Dublin by rebels wa!
feared at the solemn moment of tht
funeral. Liam T. Cosgrave, acting
head of the government, upon who's
shoulders descended the duties o
state, headed the long procession. Thl
mayor of Dublin, members of the dial
of the provisional government and o
the Sim Fein assembly, followed tn
soldier guard of honor.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2S.-Federal
agents today probed the wreck Of
three trains as they plowed through
open switches near Indianapolis with
in the last three days. In each case
the locks had been hammered from
the switches and thrown away. In
each case, it happened to be freight
trains that we're wrecked and no one
was seriously hurt
Two of the wrecks occurred within
an hour. A Big Four train on the
Peoria and Eastern division and a
freight on the South Bend division of
the Pennsylvania were piled up. Pre-
viously another Pennsylvania freight
had struck an open switch south of In
dianapolis.
Find Two More
Track walkers on the Pennsylvania
discovered two other switches propped
partially open with bolts between the
switch point and the rail. This tam
pering was found before a train had
passed over the place.
The crew of the Big Four train mar
rowly escaped death when the engine
and tender were buried under a pile
of freight cars at the bottom of a
steep embankment.
On the South Bend division of the
Pennsylvania, nineteen freight cars
were piled up and splintered with
flour, hemp, corn, chicken feed, mer
chandise and eggs strewn along the
right of way which was torn up fol
hundreds of feet.

MACHINERY ON FARM

Should the faimer buy more machin

was recently answered by the New Eng

I'm general, the use of more ma

Tense The history, of industry shows
the greatest progress where improved
machinery has displaced, or at least
magnificd, hand labor. On the farm
efficient hired help at wages which the
farmer can afford to pay is yet some
what difficult to obtain. Yet quanti-
ties of improved labor saving machin-
cry are available.
''Of course the object of utilized
hired help or machinery is TO get work
done. We suspect that for the money
invested over series of years the unit
of cost for machinery will be material
~ less than for extra hired help.
Each farmer these days should
give most careful attention to lower
ing his production costs through the
use of modern machinery. Tools and
equipment are vastly improved today
over 10 years ago but too many of us
find that the average hired man OF the
present is not so good as when we
