ton of Surgeon General Rupert G.
Blue, who sought Fisk's assignment to
this particular duty. During the period
when the ravages of the disease were
most violent, Fisk worked 10 hours
daily for nearly three weeks. He was
cited for this service, and when dis
charged from the navy was a lieuten-
ant commander.
When post / Of the American Legion
was organizing, temporarily to be
known as Gen. John ]. Pershing post,
Fisk was one of the petitioners for
the organization. He was named first

ISSUES HOME LOAN WARNING
Legion Officials Caution Oregon Vet
Grams Against Assuming Too
Heavy Financial Burdens.

Inscriptions dealers in real estate
are said to have taken advantage of
former service men in the state of Ore
gon, which by law has provided for a
'hone loan" feature Of compensation
for veterans. Officials of the American
Legion, to whom have been reported
a number of instances in which the
veteran has faced loss of his invest
ment, have issued communication to
members of that organization, warning
them against assuming too heavy a
financial burden under the plan.
The law, as passed by the state legis-
iature, was intended by it's sponsors
to finance the purchase of homes or
farms for veterans, when they have
sufficient income to carry the pay
ments.
According to the Legion leaders, GER
tain real estate men are showing a
tendency to depreciate or discount the
loan of the veteran, or to demand ad-
ditional cash down. Some firms have
claimed that the plan outlined by the
law was not feasible to handle, and
that the business was conducted at a
loss
There have been 400 bonus loans in
Oregon to date, according to the rec
ords Of the state officials. Of this
number, only seven veterans face fore
closure on property, refutation of
the statement that realty dealers had
found the plan unsuccessful.
The principal difficulty has been, Lee
gion investigators say, to keep the vet
Grams from paying too much for homes
or farms. Payments on property sell
ing at $4,000 Or more are heavy, and
veterans are urged to consider the fact
that in case they have put a second
mortgage on their place to realty
dealer, they must pay the state a GER
tain sum in addition to that due the
real estate man.

'1OAS1 TO WORLDS LAST WAR
On, to Be Drunk When
Strife Ends.

When the world fights it's last war,
some veteran of an American war
| may drink a bottle of wine preserved
for years for the coming Of such an
event.
The wine recently occupied the place
Of honor on the banquet table of the
Last Man club, formed from the sur
vivors. of Company B., First Mime
sofa Volunteers, a Civil war organiza-
ton. The club was formed thirty
years ago, with "a members. There
was an understanding that a reunion
should be held each year. The wine
was presented to the club on its or
ganiZation, and it was agreed that the
last survivor should attend the ban
quet, and drink the rare old vinta
to the vacant chairs of his departed
comrades.
This year only three were present
at the meeting, which was held in
Saltwater, Mimi, on the anniversary
of the battle of Bull Run. Peter Hall,
president Of the club, declared during
the meeting that the requirements Of
the constitution would make the last
occasion too sorrOwful, and suggested
another way to mark the passing of
the organization. He offered a plan
that the last two survivors should
drink toast, seal the remainder Of
the wine in the bottle, and pass it ON
to the American Legion in Saltwater,
with similar stipulation as to its re-
tention, or until all nations join to
make war impossible. Thus, the Still
water Legion men are expected to be-
come possessors of the wine, perhaps
to be passed on to some other vet
Grams organization founded from an
other American war.
Peter Hall, Atwater, Mimi; John
Golf, a guest at the Minneapolis Sol
diers' home; and Charles Lockwood,
Chamberlain, S. D., were the guests
at this years meeting. One other sur
vivor, Emil Graft, Of ST. Cloud, Fla,
was kept from the meeting because OF
physical infirmities.
The unique event attracted national
attention, and the proposal to pass on
the rare wine to the American Legion,
not to be touched until war has be-
come impossible, has resulted in con-
siderable speculation as to whether
the World war veterans would drink
the final toast.

LEGION MAN OF MANY TASKS
Howard S. Fisk, Historian of District
of Columbia, Has Had Many
Interesting Experiences.

Howard S. Fisk, now historian of
Columbia, was considered during the
war as one of the most resourceful of
executives on account of his expert
knowledge concerning automobile
transportation.
Fisk was born in New York City
and, on removal to Washington, be-
came a newsboy. From this lowly
station he arose through various de-
partments Of city daily until he
became automobile editor of the news
paper. AS result of his work in this
connection he became familiar with all
phases Of automobile transportation,
and has edited several books on this
subject.
He was identified with the District
of Columbia Naval Militia during the
SpaniSh-American war, and was pay
clerk on board the U. S. S. Fern, the
first ship to enter Havana harbor
after the Maine was blown up. In
1917 he volunteered his services to the
navy and during the war was stationed
In Washington as a staff member of
Admiral McCowen's staff. When the
outbreak of influenza swept the city in
1918, Fisk was detached from active
duty and was placed in charge of
transport corps, which conveyed pa
tients, physicians and nurses through
out the city during the epidemic. The
District Of Columbia was under direc-
