Mexico, was announced last week by President 0bregon, following the gov ernment's failure to meet the semi annual interest payment of more than $S,000,000, which fell due July 1. Bankers, explaining that the revolution last winter had crippled Mexico finan- cially, adopted a lenient attitude and decided not to. declare default at this time. Resumption of interest payments, Mexican officials promised, would be made upon restoration of the treas ury's equilibrium or the granting of another loan.
 With the week broken by holiday, the total of new bond offerings fell be- low the $100, 100000 average, which had been maintained for more than month. The demand for new issues, however, continued unabated, with nu- merous oversubscriptions reported.
 The recent heavy volume of new financing, according to preliminary compilation, carried the total of new corporations, foreign government, farm loan and municipal bonds issues for the first half of 1924 to approximately $2, ,5O0, 100000, considerably in excess to the aggregate for the corresponding period of 1923.
 Prospects that a portion of Can ada's 300,000,000 financing would be offered in. the New York market in view of prevailing money conditions brought encouragement to investment bankers.

Cotton Drops A Point In Face Of Govern
 ment Report

NEW YORK, July 6.-(By Asso- ciated Press. With holiday break ing into the past week, reports re- ceived in industrial and financial cir cles indicated little change in the busi- ness situation. Money has remained easy, the markets have been steady and grain prices have been fairly well main tained. Flotation of the Hungarian reconstruction loan has drawn atten- tion to cheerful veiws of the European situation.
 Steel Remains uiet
 The steel industry still has been ex- tremely quiet, production amounting to only about 35 or 40 per cent of ca pacity and new buying perhaps 30 per cent. Pig iron prices remained weak without signs that turn was im- minent. Coke prices were lower, wage reductions in independent plants being factor. As the midsummer shut downs are at hand, no immediate in- crease in activity is anticipated. It was emphasized, however, that improve

ment in operations was bound to oc- cur within few months, as stocks were being liquidated and production was materially below consumption.
 Car lOadings on the railroads res mained practically stationary at level slightly above 100000 cars a week. This showing compares with shipments in excess of one million cars week at this time last year. Final tabulations of class 1 railroad earnings for May show, however, that the carriers have been able to offset part of the loss in traffic by reducing operating expenses. Though net for May is only about two- thirds of that in May of last year, the showing at that time was exceptionally good, 6.33 per cent being earned on the interstate commerce commissions val uation. During last May the roads earned 1-4 per cent, which was not considered discouraging.
 Although grain prices yielded slight ly from their highs, most of June ad- vances has been maintained. Conse- quently, a more hopeful view is be- ing taken of the prospects in the gain growing regions. Cotton prices, on the other hand, dropped more than 1 cent a pound as a result of. the gov ernment's report on crop conditions as of June 25. The report put the con dition at TIP per cent, .as compared with private estimates of about 6S to 69. The government estimated a crop of 12,144,000 bales. This compares with an actual yield of. 1O,128,O0O bales last year. A larger crop would prove of considerable benefit to, the textile situation. l ..
 Dun's index of commodity prices ad- vaneed practically 1 per cent during June. The rise was due to the rally in bread stuffs. Of the other groups which make up the index, the only ma terial change occurred in clothing which sagged off moderately.
 New capital issues increased in number, but did not foot up to a very

Form Club to Saue for
Trip to French Capital

Another savings club, deposits OF
which are destined to be used for a
trip to Paris in 1923, has been started
by Legionnaires In Uniontown, Pa.
"Goat', Davis, an active member Of the
post. and one of the most earnest
boosters for the proposal to hold the
national convention OF the American
Legion in the French capital on the
tenth anniversary Of Armistice day, Is
responsible for the club.
Davis proposes that each Legionnaire
put away at least 50 each week from
now until 1928, which will give suffi-
cient funds to make the trip and re-
turn.
Sentiment in the Legion clearly In
dicates a desire TO hold such a conven-
ton in Paris. At the first national
convention, a committee was author
ICED to study feasibility Of Paris pill
grimage, which would be in the nature
of a visit to the battlefields where the
Americans trod in 1917 and 1918, az
well as for administering business OF
the Legion. A number of posts have
already formed savings clubs along a
line similar to that suggested In
Uniontown.

NEW DIVISION is
NOW IN OPERATION

new division is now in operation
at national headquarters of the Ameri-
can Legion. This, authorized by the
fifth annual convention, will handle
preparation of program of post activ-
tiles and membership detail. 1t will
include an educational course for Off
Gals of local posts, and other plans to
put Legion efforts on high plane.
This division was formerly an activ-
lty of national headquarters during thu
earlier days of the Legion's organiza-
ton, but because of the expense at
tached, had been ordered consolidated
with other work. Under mandate of
the convention in San Francisco this
work will be amplified to meet require
ments of the organization, a suitable
appropriation having been provided.
Prior to the appointment Of Russell
G. Creviston as national adjutant to
succeed Lemuel Bolles, he had, as as
sistant adjutant. done much of the
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1924-03-26

wo1K in this direction. At the 1923
department adjutant's conference Mr.
Creviston reported the results of a
surrey made of the entire 1000 posts
OF the organization in regard to rela-
ton to the communities served, what
the definite programs of these posts
showed, and actual accomplishment.
With assumption of the duties of nRr
tional adjutant, and the authorization
of the new division, Mr.. Creviston has
relinquished active prosecution of the
work, though 1t remains under his di-
rect supervision.
Frank e. Samuel, for four and one
half years department adjutant of the
Legion in Kansas, has been granted
leave of absence by department Off
Gals to take charge of the newly Gre
ated division. Samuel, one of the best
Known workers among administrative
officers of the Legion, was chosen for
this work because of his intimate touch
with the posts in the field. The Legion
in Kansas serves $50 communities and
regularly enrolls more than one-third
of all the service men the state sent
to war. Perhaps in no one state Is
the influence Of the local post so care
fully responded to as in Kansas. The
Legion there had the greatest number
of posts participating in the com
munity chest" raised in its cities; it
secured passage of the bonus bill
which brought to the former soldier
the greatest amount of money-$1 for
each day of service; it established
statewide publicity service that has
gained much favored reputation in
every section; and succeeded in en-
dowing the fund of 100000 provided
in acceptance of the Dabney gift for
a national home for Legion and
World war orphans
Samuel was an enlisted man during
the war serving in the military intel
ligence and operations section of the
Three Hundred and Fifty-third In
fantry. an all-Kansas regiment, and
unit of the famous Eighty-ninth di-
vision. AT the signing of the armistice

Why Pay
the Penalty OF
Lying Awake?

MANY people spend hours at
4y4 mig ht, restlessly tossing from
side to side, waiting for sleep. All
because they drink coffee with their
evening meal.
Il the caffeine in coffee irritates
your nervous system and keeps you
awake when you should be asleep,
Tecuperating your energies, why not
stop coffee and drink Postum?
Postum is a pure cereal beverage,
absolutely free from caffeine or any
thing that can disturb health and COM
tort. Many prefer Postum for its de-
hghttul aroma and flavor.
1t you want TO know the truth,
Change to Postum for month or SO,
and see how much better you will
sleep and feel.

mystery MANo
is IDENTIFIED

OKlahoma's mystery man." who for
-FOUR years baffied efforts of American
Legion and Red Cross officials TO es-
taDilsh his identity, has been recog.
nlzed as Arthur Littleswift Frazier of
Winner, S. D. Incidentally by his iden-
tlhcaton. he may receive $4,000 in
back pay due him from the govern
ment, and = Legion post named in his
nonor will have to seek another hero
TO commemorate.
Frazier, or Green, as he was known
then, was discovered in the woods
near Ponca City, Okla, existing on
berries and roots, living in tepee con-
structed principally of remnants of an
American flag. He was taken in charge
by the authorities and on recommends
uon of the American Legion was sent
GO government hospital, as he had
established the fact that he was a
World war veteran.
Then began long quest for clues to
his identity. Every relief agency and
government bureau exhausted itself
In efforts to learn who the man was,
but to no avail. He was positively
identified" on several occasions by
various persons only to show no signs
of recognition when put to test.
In the meantime, back in the South
Dakota town where he had lived, his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs Charles Frazier
received official notice from the gov
eminent that their son had been killed
in action in the Argonne late in Octo-
Der. 1918 He was mourned as dead.
and in order to pay him full respect,
post of the Legion was named In
his honor.
BY chance Legionnaire residing in
Winner saw photograph of the Okla
homa mystery man." as he was known.
because he had no recollection of his
past, and the parents went to Musko-
gee to identify the man. There, he
was claimed as their son, and they
returned to the Dakota home.
If this man was Frazier, then he was
entitled to back pay because he had
never been discharged from the serv-
ice. Compensation checks sent him
were fraudulently cashed in Chicago
at one time.
Because Frazier is suffering not only
from his mental disability but tuber-
culosis FASTENED by tie poisonous
gases and exposure, his Legion friends
appealed to the Veterans bureau for
aid. He was sent to Minneapolis,
where he was met by two comrades,
and he recognized both of them Inn
mediately as "buddies" in his overseas
outfit. Both said the man had served
In the same Minnesota guard unit with
which they served in France, and testi-
fed to their belief that he was Frazier.
The man has no recollection of any of
his previous life, save dog, who had
been his companion in earlier days,
and who apparently recognized him
the moment he set foot in the Frazier
home.

SHOULD ALL BE IN
THE ORGANIZATION

Walter NJ. Pierce, Governor of
Oregon, says regarding the
American Legion:
"Such body of men organ
lied into compact whole, can
and will WELD an influence that
will make it possible for this ma
ton to safely ride the severest
storms that the peculiar eco
nomic conditio-% of the World
war may cause.
Since American institutions
came into existence, students of
the world have freely predicted
their early decline, alleging that
when the opportunity of ac-
curing free land was gone and
the cities grew large, the pecu-
liar character developed by the
sturdy farmer of America would
be lost in the whirl of great city
development. There are those
living who believe such time is
approaching.
