which has been received here, Lilac
Hedge Zubrod Pontiac. owned by j.

of the list of two-year-old heifers in

This is considered a remarkable
record. particularly in view Of the fact
that this climate has not been looked
upon as particularly a dairy climate.

section Of opinion among ex-serviee
men as 70 the functioning OF the
Veterans bureau. charged with the
disqualification and compensation OF
disabled veterans, can be found IN
ing American Legion headquarters
here.
Running through almost every
letter IS a note OF helpiessness, al
most Of hopeleesness, because OF in
terminable delays. indecision and
red tape in which cases have be-
come involved.
Lack of authority In the local
sub-ofices Of the bureau causes even
the most minor matters affecting a
case to be passed on to the district
office for Tuling.
Reports TO district Offices often go
unanswered for months. often these
Offices pass matters along TO the
Washington office for ruling. More
delay. More waiting.
Passing the Buck.
Through this method, a system OF
buck passing has been evolved.
Much hullabaloo was made in bu-
reau publicity a few months age
over cleanup squads" which
toured the country TO get hrst-hand
facts on delayed cases to expedite
their settlement.
Yet an average days mail brings
to the Legion from a score to a hun
dred letters from men examined by
these squads three and four months
ago. without further action.

Typical Of these is the case o,

never able for duty again.
On the basis of recognized dis
abilities. he was paid $3.50 a month
by the government. Later this was
arbitrarily cut to $3.50, then to 50.
Because of the small compensa-
ton, Peavey-against the advice OF
his physicians-was compelled TO
work. He secured employment as a
solicitor for the Metropolitan In

He collapsed at his work, and on

DR.. Edward l.. Hazeltine, a desig-

says of Peavey's case:
He should not be allowed to re-

He has clinical symptoms Of pull

plenty of rest, a change of work and
be free from financial worries.
"On oct. 81, 1921, I examined this

Great Interest SholDn
In Historical Pageant

Great interest is being shown in the
historical pageant to be given by the
Townsend branch of Community Serv-
ice The rehearsals give promise of a
splendid musical treat aside from the
educational and entertaining values.
There are II principal characters with
large supporting cast. Two of the
numbers which the choral will use are
arranged by the eminent negro com
posers, Harry T. Burleigh and Nathan
iel Dett.
Because of his sympathetic under
standing of the tragedy in the life of
the slaves, Stephen Foster wrote many
songs which are now regarded as folk
songs. Several of these have been ar
ranged for orchestration under the
title, stephen Foster Gems" and will
be played by the community orchestra
during the pageant.
Attention of the public is again call.
ed to the fact that the original date of
June Is has been changed to June %
at the Coliseum. Because of the large
seating capacity there will be no re
served seats.
