expended in 1913, $1,O1O,0OO,-
600 and in 1921, $1,726,O 900,
an increase of II per cent. The
total debt of this group of cities
in 1913 was $2,901, 900, 900
which by 1921 had risen to $4,-
1874, 000,000-an increase of 40
per cent.
County administration appears,
from the rather limited informa-
zion which at this time the census
authorities have been able to pro-
duce, to have shown a much larger
proportionate increase in cost and
tax collections than did the gov
ronment of cities.
There is but one way for the
community finally to get back on
its feet, and that is to go seriously
about paying its debts and reduc-
ing its expenses. That is what the
world must face. The greatest and
richest government must face it,
and so must the humblest citizen.
IF | could urge upon the Amer
lean people a single rule applicable
to every on of the as individuals
and to every political or corporate
unit among them, it would be to
learn to spend somewhat less than
your income all the time. If you
have debts, reduce them as rapid
ly as you can; if you are one of
the fortunate few who have no
debts, make it rule to save
something every year.
Keep your eye everlastingly on
those who administer your govern
mental units for you; your town,
your country, your state, your ma
tional government. Make them un-
derstand that you are applying
the rule of thrift and SAVINGS in
your personal affairs, and REQUIRE
them to apply it in their mana
agement of your public affairs. If
they fail, find other public sery-
ants who viii succeed. If thew sue
coed, give them such encourage
ment and Inspiration as will he
represented by a full measure of
hearty appreciation for their ef-
/ forts.

CANTALOUPE AND 'CUKE
CROPS FAIL IN WORTH

SYLVESTER, June 27.-Reports
from over the county indicate that
the cantaloupe crop this season will
be practically complete failure.
Where there has heretofore been
something like 100 cars shipped, it
is probable that not a ear will. be
shipped. This is said to be due to
the continued rains. The cucum-
Der crop was likewise a failure here
this season. Watermelons are re-
ported fairly good in some sections
and considerably injured in other
places.

special train carried them over this
government-built railroad into the
heart of Alaska, which the president
himself has termed Americas Won

The train of nine cars since leaving
Seward yesterday afternoon has passed
succession of beautiful mountain
lakes and glacier scenes with noun
tains raising their lofty snow-capped
peaks above the clouds, lakes set like
emeralds among those mountains, val
leys, green with jungle-like vegetation
and great blue glaciers creeping down
the slope.
The trip on the train has given the
travellers a vision of Alaska not OBJ
tanned on their water voyage along
the coast of southeastern Alaska At
the outside of the train ride the party
saw the great Chugah national forest
which extends along the coast sixty

WAR VETS VOTE TO
PUSH COMPENSATION
Disabled American War Veterans to
Demand Legislation From Con-
gress Providing Attention.
CBy Associated Press Leased Wire)

Washington, D. G. = A legislative
program calling for adjusted compen-
sation for World war veterans and af-
fecting their rehabilitation, hospital
care and insurance, will be pressed
upon congress when it convenes in De-
cember by the Disabled American Vet
Grams of the World war. The program,
based on recommendation adopted by
the third annual convention of the or
ganization held recently at Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, was announced here today.
The proposals provide a rating of to-
tai permanent disability for veterans
who have been given hospital care for
IL consecutive months and that all vet
Grams so rated and those being treat
ed at home shall receive the same
family allowance as given veterans
bureau trainees. An effort will also
be made to have al veterans recon-
mend for permanent total disability
rating carried on this roll temporar-
lily pending final award.
Total disability ratings will be for
men entitled for training has been de-
clared not to be feasible, and rating
of fifty per cent permanent disability
will be asked for men discharged from
hospitals with diagnosis of arrested
or quiescent tuberculosis.
Amendment of the civil service laws
will be proposed to place disabled vet
Grams who attain passing grade in an
examination at the head of the eligible
list.

st. Paul, MINI. The three candi-
dates seeking the United States sem
atorship from Minnesota in Mondays
election rounded into the home
stretch in their campaigning today.
Governor J. A. o. Preus, republican;
Magnus Johnson, farmer-labor and
state senator James A. Carley, demo-
crat sent out their last. minute ap-
peals to the voters, concluding with a
plea for a 100 percent vote.
Much will depend on the size of the
ballot turnout as to whether Mime
sofa will have two farmer-labor sem
ators or whether the Republicans will
add to their margin to get control in
the senate.
Congressional leaders and others
prominent in national politics, are
eagerly awaiting final returns, per-
haps more so than the residents of
the state. If Johnston is elected he
will align himself with Henrik Ship

Governor Preus as a senator would
add strength to the Harding admin
istration in congress. He has the
backing Of the Republican senatorial
campaign committee and has endorsed
the presidents progress.
