By Associated Press

N0shington, NoVemDer Z9.-ln Thanksgiving Day message, issued , here tonight. Alvin M. Owsley, na- tlonal commander of the American Legion, set forth program of pub ican Legion calculated to assure con- tnued integrity of American institu- tions and prosperity for the American people.
 x His list of objectives comprise justice" for the 30,000 disabled war veterans; cultivation of loyal Amer ican citizenship through education and consequent equality of opportu nity; adequate physical development and instruction for the nations youth; exclusion of immigrants for period of years; restoration of army personnel to the minimum fixed by the defense act of 1920; adjustment of war time compensation, and CO., operation of the American Legion with the International Association of Allied Veterans of theworld War in the effort to bring about a better understanding among civilized na- tions.
 In referring to the disabled war veterans. MT. Owsley said
 "The legion asks for no charity for the disabled; the legion calls for jus tice, that Is all. We call upon the nation to be mindful of it's own"
 Educate Youth of Nation
 Declaring the American institution. the most effective instrument yet devised for the expression of the will of all the people" MT. Owsley pointed out that equality of opportu- nifty is necessity of a free people,. and that equality of opportunity can only be arrived at through equal op- portunity of education He said that of the 25,000,000 children of school age in the United States, many mi1- Hons do not attend school regularly and many are compelled to toll too young.
 Already the legion has effected legislation for compulsory school at tendance" he continued, "and assisted greatly in the enforcement of such legislation. We shall continue until child labor has been supplanted by child growth, development and study throughout the land The legion has undertaken a campaign, against illit- eracy."
 Favors Preparedness
 As to physical instruction for the young. Mir. 0wsley said there must be measures adopted for adequate physical instruction and development of the youth of the country.
 Discussing army personnel, the na tional commander declared "the men of the legion are out of sympathy with the policy of economy that would cut our military defense be- low the safety line defined in the de- fense act of 1920"
 Mir. Owsley asserted that it is the will of the American people that the war veterans be given an adjusted compensation, and they have ex pressed that will in no uncertain terms on every opportunity offered them.
 "There is no shadow of doubt" he added. "of the coming of this na- tional adjustment of compensation" The message concluded with an ap- peal for all loyal Americans to give thanks for the benefits conferred on them by their citizenship in this free and mighty nation"

FLORENCE. AFTER ROAD
 TO TENNESSEE LINE
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU
 THE AGE-H ERAI4D Florence. Ala. Nov. 29

The matter of building a pike read from Florence to Savannah, liar din county, Tennessee, was again discussed by the Chamber of Com merce Monday night.
 It was pointed out that the Ala bama highway department has ex- pressed it's willingness to include the road in the government and state aid program in case the state of Ten nessee is willing to connect with the road at the state line and continue it to Savannah. It would thereby become an inter-county highway. con meeting the two county seats.
 It is very doubtful whether the road can be built on the government and state aid basis unless Tennessee and Hardin county board of commis- sioners will agree to make the con- nection at the county line. The new Chisholm highway, which was. com pleted last year, runs to- the Ten nossee state line but on account of that state not making appropriation to extend the improvement it ends practically in wilderness.

WE R RE N RA I H AT. BEST IN CONCERT. AT THE JEFFERSON.
Vocalist Delights Musically Faithful With Excellent Ar ray of Song-KipIing'S
 Song a Feature

Ye: s at the theatre had nearly convinced that we might never ex- pect the new. We had not heard Reinald Werrenrath until Wednes- day night, when he sang to the faithful at the Jefferson theatre. Again we have lapsed to the former mental stand, but with the realiza- tion that we had been mistaken about encountering the new. 1t may never happen again.
 Music charms the savage breast, probably hence the desire of many to become critics. We yield to it's lure reluctantly and approach a concert or recital with OUT most dastardly adjectives awaiting the call to arms. Frequently the call comes. Tha. is the lone compensa- tion of the critical. Mir Werren- rath routed every one of those ad- jectives anc sent us post haste to the lthesaurus for their antonymns. We couldn't even find flaw in his attire.
 And his music! Gorgeous in the warm colors of the Indian summer sunset. Languid with the placid blue of the Mediterranean. Shakes pearean in dramatic tone. These banal words don't start the descrip- ton.
 If you are one of tho faithful who heard >him you know strict comment is farcial, and if you didn't hear him-where are those adjectives we threw away moment ago?
 After years in an attempt to ac- auire decent command of the Eng fish language we have nothing but
 
 music, several. Italian. Danish. the patois of the Canuck, the blur of the cockney, the burr of the Scotch, the brougue of the Irish. This man enunciates all of them distinctly.
 "Che Fiero Costume, Legrenzi; "over the Hills and Far Away" "Old Irish" Fisher; "Silie We'd Nat Hin Kolie." P. Lange-M Muller; svision Fugitive" Massanet:' Port of Many ships" Keel, and Wreck of the Julia Plante," OHara, 0 decided we liked best. That doesn't mean they were.
 Then he started on Kipling We have been informed devotees of Kipling aren't necessarily of the in- telligent. MT. werrenrath started with "On the Road to Mandalay."

SOUTHERN FARMER CARRYING BURDEN
 WITHOUT WH|MP FIR.
Congress Learns Those of South Compared With West erners of Entirely Differ
 ent Temperament
WASHINGTON BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD

Washington, ID. C., Nov. 29
 Information possessed by members of Congress makes it appear certain that the farmer of the west and the farmer of the south are creatures of vastly different temperaments.
 Reports from the west are to the effect that farmers, because of un- fortunate circumstances, are pre- paring general strike against the government to take one of two forms:
 l. By non-co cooperative revolution such as Ghandi in India, to be fol- lowed by a refusal to pay county, feiture of property and the throwing of countless helpless on the mercy of the public.
 2. Bankruptcy by which technical evasion of taxes and debts may be possible. This scheme is said to have gained favor particularly in North Dakota, where ihN one week 143 farm CTS were declared to be bankrupt.
 southerners Hard Hit
 No such reports come to Wash ington from the south. discussion of this situation with best posted senators from states below the Mason-Dixon line indicates that the southern farmer has been as hard hip as the farmer of the west. His debts are said to be as large on the average, and his disappointment equally as great.
 At the same time, from no state Is it intimated that farmers of the south will strike against the gov ernment or voluntarily seek release from debts by means of bankruptcy courts. If reports are true, southern farmers are preparing to grin and bear it." to fight out this battle just as they have fought out others. Blind Plowman," "The WIT ok of the Julie Plant" Duna and the Kipling selections the finale. Among his encores were Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" May Day Carol-... and "Smilin' Through"
 Both MT. Werrenrath and MT. Spiar gave their best, we felt, despite seeming unhospitality. The singer. with an easy personality, brought himself near to every member of his audience. The evening was friendly because of this and not in the least boorish. as som etimes happens.
 More artists approaching the cal Her of MT. Werrenrath Is our plea. And may they all sing Kipling!
