FORGET.ME-NOT DAY
BACKED BY COOLIDGE
President Hopes for Wide Support
of Annual Event to Aid Dis.
abled Veterans.

Endorsement by President Coolidge
of the annual Forget-Me-Not day of
the Disabled American Veterans, Sat
urday, November 8. was today re-
corded in letter in which he
expressed the hope 'there will be
a broad and liberal response to the
appeal. This Isl the only day the
congressionally recognized organiza-
tion makes a national appeal and the
District of Columbia department of
ID. A. V. already is completing plans
for the observance.
The Presidents letter was sent to
National Commander Frank J. Irwin.
who wears the Distinguished Service
Cross for valor before the Hinden-
berg line.
with the approach of the annual
F'orget-me-not day observance by the
Disabled American Veterans in No
vember, l desire to record my sincere
hope that there will be a broad and
liberal response to your public ap-
peal
Il am deeply conscious that the
care of the wars disabled is sacred
national duty. and in endeavoring to
solve this extensive problem your or
Eanization has rendered valuable aid
to those in authority. BY maintain
ing in each Of the fourteen district
offices of the Veterans Bureau a
liaison officer to act as attorney for
the men, it has been especially useful
to your comrades. In other directions
its services are frequently of great
value, as in supporting desirable leg
iSlative measures and in connection
with emergency relief and to those
whose cases are in progress Of adJu-
dication."

bor, will you milk my COW, and feed
my hens their hay? l feel too i'll
to do my chores. I'm frantic with
the pain; l feel as though dozen
sores had .fcstered in my brain.
When you have spasms in your neck,
or boils that need the lance, I'll do
as much for you, by heck, and glad
to have the chance Your own
dire burdens you must pack" old
CATER Gray replied; Il have lum-
bago in my back. and stitches in
my side. l have the foot-and-mouth
disease, my life is far from sweet,
and have spavins on my knees and
ringbones on my feet. I'm feeling
like an earthquake now, tortured
frame is mine, and still l milk my
old roam cow and feed my spotted
swine. And still l round up ducks
and geese and lock them in their
shed; and in my bosom there is
peace when l repair to bed. My
neighbors have their chores to do,
and they are sore distrcst, and they
are anxious to get through. and shed
their shoes and rest. And if | asked
them over here to do the evening
chore, they might obligingly appear,
but they'd think ME a bore. | do
not call upon my friends while
can walk yard; for nearly always
friendship ends when it is worked
too hard" And SO fed my hungry
'iowls and groomed the raging
swine; the neighbors shuddcred at
my howls, but thought my courage
fine.

doesn't try for oratorical effect. But

Probably no man in the senate has

Where other speakers warm up under
their oratorical efforts, and their words
warm up with them, King grows ever
