Memorial Day HonOrs
Fittingly Observed Here
MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM CAR
RlED OUT BY AMERICAN Lee
GION PROVED A SUCCESS

The Memorial Day program as
carried out in Eagle River under the
direction of the American Legion and
Woman's Auxiliary was credit to
the organizations and all who tool
part in them. Aided by fine day, a
large number Of people were present
and helped in that way to make the
services of honor to the nations de-
ceased soldiers and sailors more i'm
pressive to every one.
Starting at the bridge at 9:45,
where tributes were paid to the dead
at sea, the line of march was formed
to go to the cemetery. The order of
march was the Colors, Band, Firing
Squad, Civil War and Spanish War
Veterans, Flower cars, American Lee
gion and Woman's Auxiliary, School
children and Citizens.
AT the cemetery, a selection was
rendered by the band, followed by a
we'll rendered recitation by Harry
Well The singing of America, to the
accompaniment OF the band. Charles
Thorpe then delivered a fine address,
and was followed by the speaker of
the day, Harold Crosby, of Rhinelan,
der, an American Legion man who in
a brief but interesting talk paid tri-
butte to the participants Of all wars
and the part played by the soldiers
of America in the last great war. The
American Legion then placed decora-
tions upon the graves of all soldiers
and fired the farewell salute to their
dead comrades and the program
came to a close with the singing of
the Star Spangled Banner and i'll it's
entirety was one well worth attend
ing.

Those, then, who have been caught
with the half-baked idea OF. false in
ternationalism, should Study Ameri-
canization movement that only the
alien-born needed it, is partly the
!hause of it's failure. Americanism can
not successfully be taught as part Of
a textbook system. Like religion, it
can be taught only out of the burning
convictions of the heart. And this
northumberland could be profit
ably striven for among millions of
Americans today. They need instruc-
ton. Merely being born here does not
make one an instructed American,
any more than merely passing
through Ellis Island and the citizen
ship process does.
In future pages this matter will be
taken up again, for it's Importance

tive air.-Dearborn Independent

WHY NOT HAVE GOOD RoADs9

s..The railroad is coming"
Until very recently such an an
louncement was enough to start a
municipal celebration in small town
which for hysterical enthusiasm was
.4fficult to beat The coming of the
'ailroad has meant business, civil
cation, social intercourse, everything
% communities which had no rail com
nunication.
But a new era dawns. Today the
cry is "the good highway is coming
10 town." And in at least one in
stance, a town didn't wait for the
highway, but finding it was being
missed by the road, left the railroad
and moved bodily to the highway!
Reno, small community, six miles
EAST of Paris, Tex, reversed the time
honored custom of towns following
the railroad, and moved away from
the railroad to the new concrete high
way that runs east out Of Paris.
This town, on the Texas and Pacific
Railroad, saw only four trains day
passing through it, while half mile
away steady stream of traffic passes
over the concrete highway. So the
town packed UP all of it's three bust
ness houses and moved over. Only
swimming pool was left.
There is no real reason why every
town shouldn't have good highway
running to, through, and away from it
What other towns are doing to i'm
prove their roads, all towns may do
The good highway means today as
much to any town as the railroad did
ten, twenty, fifty years ago. 1t means
quick transportation, increased mar
kets, better business, finer schools,
more comforts. All this being so
and it is not disputed . why should
not the Nation help, not by helping
build seven per cent of the mileage
existing, as under Federal aid, but by
a comprehensive building program,
which will gridiron this Nation, north
and south, east and west, by system
every town the transportation it needs
True not every town in the Union
could be reached on, let us say, two
hundred and fifty thousand mile trunk
line system, but every town would be
so close to one or another link of such
system as to make the connection
so inexpensive that no town could af-
ford not to make it!

MINocoUA TRACK MEET

The track meet between the Minoc-
qua, Three Lakes, Phelps, and Eagle
River high Schools was held at Minoc-
qua last Saturday, in spite of the chill
ly weather A goodly assortment of
athletes was out for the event. Phelps
and Three Lakes had fewer partici-
pants but they showed up in very
creditable manner. The main Compel
ition, however, was between Minocqua
and Eagle River with Minton and Her
shey starring for Minocqua and Nor
gan, Belongy, Hoover and Ewald for
Eagle River. We give Minocqua credit
for having some first class athletes
who show a sportsmanlike conduct on
the field and if few Minocqua beef
ers" had remained at home the meet
would have been carried on very
smoothly. On account of the ruling
made before the meet of totaling the
boys and girls scores for the school
as a whole Eagle River had no chance
of winning the meet for the reason
that they were not informed of this
ruling and so had no girls there to
participate. Minocqua, therefore, was
the victor with Eagle second. The fol
lowing ribbons were won by local
contestants: Larry Morgan.

Service Men Can Tell
Amount Of Their Bonus
GENERAL HINES OF VETERANS
BUREAU EXPLAINS SIMPLE
AND OFFICIAL METHOD
BY Robert Fuller

1t is easy for World War veterans
to find out how much insurance they
are entitled to from the Government
if they will follow the simple comput
ing method used by the Veterans Bur-
eau. Director General Hines has is.
sued instructions with an explanation
of how to include the 25 per cent in
crease.
The increase of rs per cent should
not be added to the number of days
served in the army before the service
credit is multiplied by the factor. The
factor was compiled by Gen. Hines
and is the official method devised by
the Bureau
Gen Hines gives the following direc
lions for the use of the factors.
Allow 81 per day for each day Of
home service.
Allow $1.25 per day for each day of
foreign service.
Deduct $50 from this sum
Multiply the balance by the facto,
opposite the age (nearest birthday as
shown in the table below.
The result will be the amount of the
adjusted service certificate.
As an example:
Age at date or. issue, ~
Home service, It's days.
Overseas service, 10 days.
One hundred and seventy-five minus
so, times 81, equals $115. One hundred
and ten times $1.25 equals $1375O.
Adjusted service credit, $252 SO.
2.532-factor at age, of 81 $252.5O
service credit multiplied by 1852
equals $639.33.
$639.33 is the adjusted Service Ger
tificate.
ITO compute your bonus use the tabls
of factors as to age as compiled by
the Veterans Bureau.
