then the rest is easy" declared Mr..

Is Making Venice
Into a Desert

A dry campaign which will make
Venice, California, as dry as 1.-THE
Sahara Desert" is being conducted
by Chief of Police Harry II. Nc
Causland, a native of Readfield. and
who for some time was chief of
liquor deputy under Sheriff Z. d.
Harwood. of this county.
Chief McCausland was a deputy

Augusta, where he became chief
liquor deputy under Sheriff HARDWOOD.
About two years ago he went to
California where he has since made
his home. About six months ago
he became chief of police of the
town, and as Venice has population
of over 100000 it will be seen that
he has ''some" job. Since he has
been in Venice he has been conduct
ing an extensive enforcement cam
paign which is bringing the results
as is shown by the fact that on
December 20 in a raid which he
conducted, he found one of the lar
gcst stills ever found in the city,
with two barrels of mash. 20 gallons
of white mule" thousand pint
bottles. a glass graduate and color
ing matter.
On December 26, McCausland got
a gambling joint and ten men. The
paraphenalia seized at this time in
cluded 100 decks of cards. 5000 poker
chips. a gallon Of moOnshine whiskey
and special signal device provided
to warn the gamblers Of impending
raids.
tIhc Venice Vanguard in a story of
this raid states that this brings the
total of arrests in this recent drive
for violations of the dry-laws and
anti gambling ordinances to % with
some of the men booked on two
or &c charges.
Mr.. McCausland and his wife live
at Venice with his son, Herbert,
nearby. Venice is near Los Angeles
and as has been stated. is a city
Of over 100000 inhabitants.
MIR. McCausiand is d brother of
Arthur McCausland of this city, a
former deputy sheriff and now cap
tain of the night watch at the State
House.

HELP THE TRAINED VETERAN
, ~ TO- SECURE EMPLOYMENT

: After the World War, when dis
abled men began to return 10 their
homes unable to carry on in their
former occupations, the U. S. Vet
erans' Bureau began the task of re-
training them for new lines of
work in which their war Injuries
would not be a handicap. -
The Veterans Bureau does not,
however leave the rehabilitated man
when his training has been complet-
ed. It's full duty has not been dis
charged until it has. procured for
him a suitable employment oppor-
tunity in some gainful occupation.
. To do this an Employment Ser
vice has been organized, which is
Systematically searching the whole
district for openings in the various
trades and industries. The Employ
nlent Service establishes a cooper
ating agency in every town. A
local employment representative is
appointed to act as clearing
house between employers and the
Veterans Bureau. This local rep
resentative is usually an officer in
some service mems organization oil
a. Rotary. Kiwanis, or Commercial
Club, who is willing to assume the
added responsibility. The physica
handicap of these veterans has, beer
entirely overcome by proper train
ing, or reduced to negligible de
gree. They are experts in Their
respective trades or lines of bust
ness. These are important point!
