ASKED
FOR sam FL0AR

Five hundred dollars reward for the
apprehension Of Sam Flohr and his
delivery to Sheriff Hanlon is to be Of
fered by the state of Colorado in re-
spOnse to requests made by both Gun
nison and Montrose counties.
The board of commissioners at their
meeting here Monday, passed reso-
luton asking the governor to offer
such reward from state funds avail
able for the purpose, and Montrose
commissioners took the same action.
Both Flohr and his victim, Tom Top
liss, were. Montrose citizens, but
technically the murder occurred in
this county, so that Sheriff Hanlon is
the responsible officer.
Flohr is a desperate character, and
has announced that he will not be
taken alive. By section 7173, statutes
Of 1921, the governor is authorized
TO offer a reward for the apprehension
of criminals, and this request was
sent to Governor Sweet because of the
dangerous situation concerning Flohr.
The escaped murderer is believed to
be in the Paradox or Disappointment
region Of Colorado, wild, desolate,
little inhabited section, or perhaps
has gone over into the Blue mountains
Of Utah, famous hang-out for Grim
inals.
Sheriff Hanlon came in last Friday
night, after several days in Hastings
mesa, near which Flohr has a land
claim, and where he picked up num-
her Of clues.
Sheriff Hanlon left on Wednesday
morning to again take up the search
for the murderer.

Prosecute Politicians
Who Use Legion's Name

Persons who use the name of the
American Legion wrongfully in claim
ing political support for candidates
will be vigorously prosecuted. The at
titude of the veterans organization on
political questions is well known, and
posts are never drawn into such
endorsements with sanction Of ma
tional and department officials
A recent instance of this was in
Nebraska, where the chairman of a
county central committee issued
statement that the Legion post at
Gering has endorsed the candidacy Of
certain politician. When called on
by the Legion men, the chairman mads
a retraction of this statement that the
endorsement was given by the post,
saying that 100 per cent of the mem
bers had privately endorsed the candi-
dates SO he felt this was official ac-
ton by the post"
Department officials have promised
prosecution in this instance, If it is
found that the original statement was
unauthorized by the post.

CLOSER CONTACT TO
AID EX-SERVICE MEN

TRY to bring about a closer and
more human contact between the ex-
service men and government agencies
which are directly disqualification and
rehabilitation"
These were the words of National
Commander John r. Quinn of the
American Legion to a writer for an
eastern magazine, who is preparing
a series of articles on veteran aid to
be used soon.
'"Two and one-half billion dollars
have come out OF the pockets of Amer
lean taxpayers for this purpose" he
said. 'The annual budget for the
care of veterans now totals $45O,OOO,-
600. That's plenty of money. The
trouble is that in the past there has
been scandalous waste.
Whatever sum we spend we want
it spent honestly. And the service it
buys should be sufficient and in
spired. Too often the government has
been Indifferent and unnecessarily
severe. I've talked to men in hospi-
tails who have deliberately left the
care of United States physicians for
private institutions because they alb
horred the life in government-run
sanitariums. That's a reproach to
our officials"

No matter how long you have

pounds. | have used very little

The condition known as catarrh-
al is not confined to the nose and
throat. It may be found wherever
there are mucous membranes and
is responsible for a multitude of
troubles. Coughs and colds are
catarrhal as well as stomach and
bowel disorders.
Do as John Wick did. Keep Pc
ru-na in the house. 1t stimulates
digestion, aids in throwing off the
poisonous secretions, enriched the
blood, increases the resistance to

generally.
Insist upon having genuine Pc

There was no more speech for any Of
