George Washington And The Bonus


Some of the loudest of patrioteers in
their bonus opposition delight in point
ing to our patriotic forefathers as be-
ing an especially high-minded set of
citizens, who would never have been
guilty of putting price on patriot
ism"
Let us pass hastily over matters like
the Dent Act, under which some three
billion dollars were paid to war con-
tractors, partly for "unearned profits
on uncompleted contracts, and consider
the price on patriotism matter i'll Re
evolutionary days, We quote from
Washington Irving, at page 376, vol
ume 3, of his Life of Washington:
washington had urged that the pay
of officers was insufficient for their de
cent subsistence. He recon-
mended not only that their pay should
be increased, but that there should be
provision for their future support
by half pay and a pension establish
ment so as to secure them from being
absolutely impoverished in the service
Of their country
"Thc last recommendation had to
encounter great jealousy of the army
on the part of Congress, and all that
Washington could effect, by Strenu-
Gus and unremitted eXertions, was a
kind of compromise, by which officers
were to receive half pay for seven
years after the war, and non-commis-
stoned officers and privates eighty dol
lars each"
This would seem to indicate that the
Father of Our Country worked and
struggled to secure adjusted Compen-
sation for the veterans of the Revolt
tionary War He seems to have been
obliged to compromise on something
less than he thought fair and right,
but even the $50 bonus was a fair
sized item for those times, when, as
we are told, a dollar went much furth-
er than it does now
The truth is that neither Washing
ton nor his men suffered from any re-
luCtanCe about demanding their pay
while the war was on nor Government
aid in restoration to civil estate after
it had been won. Many of them also
they put on uniform, and it is of
record that groups of militiamen now
and then descended upon their State
legislatures, as i'll Pennsylvania, and
staged young riot about their pay.
They had the idea that the populace
behind the lines we've profiteering while
the soldiers fought for little or nothing
in paper money from the Continental
Congress, and they spoke right freely
about it.
Washington had almost as much
trouble fighting for the rights of his
troops as he did fighting with the enc
my, and his success was greater against
the enemy. He had received large land
grant for himself and his troops from
Great Britain after his service in the
French and Indian wars He proposed
to have the United States treat his
Revolutionary troops quite as well as
his majesty George III had treated the
Indian campaigners.
1t is especially delightful to note
Washington's reason for a bonus,
namely, to the purpose that his troops
should not be Completely impoverish-

Safety Deposit Free.

The story comes from Scottsburg and 1t shows all the shrewd persons gre not in the large centers of pOpu' latIon. A stranger of ordinary ap- pearance and apparently of moderate means walked Into the bank and asked to borrow S5. He was told the bank did not loan such small sums, but when he insisted that the business of a bank was to loan money, that he needed the sum mentioned, and that he had good collateral, the note was made out. the banker regarding 1t as A good joke. Then the stranger pulled out S1OOOO worth of Liberty bonds as collateral and left them, re marking that at another bank they had wished to charge him S6 for a safety deposit box to keep them In, but now the bank would keep them for him free. and he would have the banks S5 to amuse himself wlth.-Indianap- oils News.

Is II YOUR
 KIDNEYS?
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
 Troubles.

Many people never suspert their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kid ney disorders. That is where the dcnger often lies. You should real ize that these troubles often lead to dropsy or Bright's disease. An ef- fective remedy for weak or diseased kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills. Res idents of this vicinicy are constantly testifying.
 Mrs Victor Wagner, 534 N. Center St., Reno, New, saJs: "The first symptom of kidney trouble in my cGse was lame back. I had sharp pains in my back which shot up from the small of my back and after do- ing a days washing I could hardly straighten. My kidneys acted irreg- ularly and caused me annoyance. l suffered from terrible pain in tie top of my head. I saw Deans Kidney Pills advertised and bought a box. They helped me from the start and They helped me from the start and soon cured me"

ART IN CUTTING DIAMONDS
Peculiar Properties of the Prscleua Gem Must Be Thoroughly Under.
 stood by the Lapdary

A diamond cutter, writing for the London Mall, relates some interesting facts as to forms Into which diamonds are cut to enhance their luster. A diamond Is the hardest substance In nature and cannot even be scratched except with another diamond, while some stones can be cut only with their own powder.
 Yet the hardest of all can be cleft by a heavy blow delivered in the right direction; that ls, parallel to the faces of the eight sides which it's crystal shows. It Is thls property that permits the very large stones, such as the "Cul- linan" diamond, to be worked.
 In spite of this, a diamond has the simplest composition of all precious stones, for 1t Is only crystalized car bon. and near relation to ordinary graphite, usually called "blacklead."
 But It has been formed by enormous pressure in the rePo'est depths of the earth's crust, and probably forced to- ward the surface by steam.
 The principal forms into which diamond Is cut are:
 Brilllants. with an OctRgonal face surrounded by many smaller facets.
 Rose diamonds, with a fiat base, above which are two rows of triangu' lar facets, the uppermosr terminating in a point.
 Table diamonds, which are thin stones cut with triangular facets.
 What makes the diamond so pre- clous Is the presence of Inward fire the mysterious gleams of blue and red that change with every movement, and which makes such an appeal to our sense of beauty.
 The charm of precious stones Hes in their brIlIIancy and luster, the in' tensity of the latter depending upon the polish of the surface; for if the stone Is dull or uneven the light Is scattered and not reflected.
 The only stones at all approaching lt are zlrcon and the green garnet called "ollvlne." The luster of all ULleF AlOlltA lh NlllGVuSt 1uNA u9 DNN" on the surface of broken glass. And the third type Is that shown by resins.
 In order to bring out the full beauty Of stone 1t must be cut In such a way that the facets reveal It's splen- dor. and the art of the lapldary rests upon hls knowledge of what becomes of the light when It falls upon the stone: SO he must understand the laws of reflection and refraCtiOn.
 When a white light Is rerracted Into g colorless stone 1t changes and Is split up Into a spectrum. Since the refrac' tive index increases progressively as the wavelength of the light decreases, a normal spectrum Is violet at one end and passes through green and yellow to red at the other end; for instance, in the familiar rainbow The width of the spectrum also varies, and It Is this dispersion" that determines the fire"
 It would be difficult to name any substance around which has been woven such a web of romance.

Politics Absent.

modItles used in the dredging busi- ness will be an entirely different matter from the old river and pack-horse system under which the miners of the past labored.
 Tt is generally predicted in the States that we are entering upon an era of national prosperity. This is not the opinion of some one or several sages, but the business men of the country generally. The tex tile strike in New England, was set tied by granting the increase asked for by the laborers fin the mills as the mill products had accumulat- ed until the mill owners were com pelled to yield. The steel interests advanced wages recently simply to be able to meet their orders with out anticipation of labor troubles, and this condition applies to yirt- ually all manufacturing lines.
 Tt is, therefore, reasonable to believe that improved conditions of business in the States will mean a national prosperity that must surely extend to Alaska, and believe that capitalists, hesitating with regard to Alaskan investments, will be stimulated to action by the gen eral prosperous trend of events"

Talking politics, Delegate Suth- erland said to a representative of the Fairbanks-News Miner recently:
 |" I have been urable to note any intense interest in political matters since I came in over the trail. Out on the creeks the interest of the people seems to be largely centered in the possibilities of the future dredging operations. The drilling operations now being conducted on Cleary Creek are. n my opinion, of vital interest to this community, as the construction and operation of dredges on the creeks adjacent to Fairbanks. would mean a renewal of an industry almost equal to that of early Fairbanks days, and I am convinced that the operation of dredges would mean the recovery of as much. or possibly more, gold than was taken from the richer plaCers.
 "Of course the Improved trans portation facilities will have much to do with the development of the dredging industry, so that with the broad gauge railroad line completed to Fairbanks and the creeks, the movement of fuel and other com

Thlnklno and Dolnu,

Tt Is perfectly easy to write 1922 if you only think what you are doing" remarks the Boston Globe.
 That Is one of the great Ifs that continually interpOse hazards and ob- stacles in the path of the weary nun dane pilgrim. Possibly 1t is the most important one of all. The majority of our errors and sins of omission, es- peclally those of a minor character, are due to our failure to think what we are doing. But the mere recogni- ton of this failure and the earnest desire to correct 1t will not prove suf- fclent In most cases as an effectual remedy. The great trouble Is that 1t Is practically impossible to think what one is doing In very many parttCu- lars.

The mills are operated by the Flagstaff Lumber company and the Arizona Lumber company. They have been closed during the past two or three months, makinga winter repairs.
 These mills are the oldest still operating in Arizona, drawing upon the heavily-timbered country sur rounding Flagstaff. Their numbering camps are located about 20 miles south of that city. The mill at Cooley, which has not yet announced when it will resume, was established only two years ago.
 The mill operated at Williams by the s. & NJ. Lumber company re- sumed operations short time ago.

Two eX-service men believed to be living in Prescott are being sought at the request of relatives.
 Lloyd Faulkner, it is feared by his mother and sister, who have received no word from him for some time, may be seriously i'll and unable to communicate with them. States a letter to the local Red Cross chap ter, from the Chautauqua county committee of the American Legion at Westfield, New York:
 "Faulkner's sister received some time ago letter stating he was i'll, unable to work, and on account of lack of funds was changing his rooming house, and until further mo- tice to send his mail to general dc livery, Prescott. Since the receipt of the aforementioned letter, no word has been received, and his mother and sister are greatly worried"

TOUCH CARL UP
 ON LAND CASES

PHOENIX, Feb. 22.-A little hint to Congressman Carl Hayden that he might do a little bit more than he has done toward strengthening out certain difficulties of homesteaders in Mohave county, is contained ill joint house resolution No. 1, introduced by Representative Neal.
 The resolution calls attention to the fact that number of American families have settled on the so-cal1ed Santa Fe lands of Mohave county, that the railroad has expressed a willingness to relinquish the lands to the settlers provided it is given the same amount of acreage elsewhere
 The resolutions also refer to the fact that Hayden last November pre- scented a bill in congress authorizing in lieu selections by the railroad, but since that time no definite action ap- pears to have been taken.
 After expressing gratitude to Hay den for what he had done he is po- litely asked not to go to sleep on the job but rather do all in his power to secure the early enactment of the remedial legislation by congress.
 The resolution was passed un2ni- mously by the house.

NUT CHARITY
 BUT 4 CHANCE

PHOENIX, Feb. z2-"For every dependent child in Arizona - not charity but a chance" This is the slogan of the state welfare depart ment, the work of which was thor oughly outlined in an interesting ad- dress by Governor Campbell before the Kiwanis club of Phoenix Tues day noon.
 Without involving a special state institution, the governor told the Xii wanians, the state is taking care of some 252 orphans and halp orphans in private homes at a cost of $1080 per child per month, whereas under institutional care the cost would run to four times this figure.
 Of the total number of children being cared for by the state 23O are in their own mothers homes, II in foster homes and II in the Arizona Children's Home
 Taking up the operation of house bill 5l passed by the last legislature, the governor explained the functions of the state welfare department which is being directed by Mrs. H. A. Guild and of the county welfare boards which are now operating ill every county. These boards are com posed of 58 women and three men who serve without pay. Among their duties is that of investigating cases reported by the supervisors, the judges of the superior courts, pro bation officers and welfare organiza- tions, to make out complete reports to the state board, and to superintend certain cases.
 The one big feature of the law, as emphasized by the speaker, is that 1t provides home environment for the child, thereby encouraging self-re- liance and individuality, qualities which are submerged@ in the child brought up an hniihstitution.
 Keen appreciation was expressed by ~club. members for the governors comprehensive analysis of the child welfare law of Arizona and for the able manner in which the work is being directed
