 T want every ex-serviee man to un- derstand that whether he Is a member of the American Legion or not. makes absolutely no difference in this case. '" said Commander Lienel J. Morin of Thompson Post today What We are going after is census of ex-service men of our community. We have the members of the American Legion al- ready listed at headquarters Any body can sign up for the Legion any time he wants and welcome. but what We are after now is the name and needs of every man and woman that served the United States in the World War IL happens to be the Legion that is taking the census. because it's ali m the Legion's line of work. but the census is conducted for the bene- at of all the veterans of America

QUICK MONEY VERSUS GOOD
 MONEY

The ex-sorviee man who wants the bonus t. after quick money, not good money.
 His taxes will be heavier if he gets IL
 Quick maney has to be paid for sooner or later by good money dragged out of the pockets of the American citizens. and during the process the pocket nerve will be dancing a rag-tlme
 Money doesn't rain down from heaven like manna-it can only be produced by the sweat of the la borer's brow. your brow as we'll as the other fellows.
 1T the bonus asking agitator gets what he wants. he will soon find himself forced to pay more for ev- erything he uses
 Why? Because the money has to come from somewhere l. won't grow on bushes Nuts do. but not money
 The increased cost of living will cost the man who Is clamoring for this quick money. a high rate of in terest which can never be rebatea.
 A. for the unemployed ex-ser- vice man. he will soon realize that his quick money is an expensive luxury. Tho rate of exchange he will have % pag vii prove disaz- tH8us because t will be computed in dreary months of idlcness.
 Good money paid through week ly wage is worth holding on to even as an idea these days
 Neither must the bonus getter deceive himself into thinking that his bonus Is only coming out of the pockets of the capitalists. for 1t Is eventually coming out of his own.
 To the man with q big income it win be of minor importance whetn- CT the bonus bill goes through or not.
 But to the man in the street, it will be matter Of major import ance because it will develop higher taxes. dearer food, and fewer jobs
 Increased business prosperity on the other hand will provide good money for everybody
 The capitalist cannot ge. it all, even if he wants to. and the man who will suffer the most from hard times win be the man who now be- heves that he should get quick money at any price
 it $ just because I arn that mans friend that l want him to look al the situation as it is and not allow himself to be fooled by the sophis- tries of office seekers. of editorial writers and of hokam advisers.
