Christmas and Lent. The
bridegrooms are required in adj
dition to give either shoes,

the bride.
The girls are not consulted

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. March 3.
I'm its desperate fight to defeat
the adjusted compensation bill. big
business has not hesitated to resort
to methods which, to put it mildly.
are unethical. And by that mean
virtually forcing ex-service men to
write to their congressional repre-
sentatives expressing opposition to
tho bill.
If they did not write this letter
it was intimated their Jobs might
be taken from them. Dozens Of
these kinds of coercive letters have
co me into the possession Of the
American Legion.
In the past two years we have
made many Of them public, but
still this coercion continues.
There is the famous Aeolian letter
that drew a protest from President
Coolidge.
CheCk-up Threatened.
Here was a letter ordering en-
ployes Of the Aeolian company, a
company manufacturing musical tn
struments. to write to their Wash
ipgton representatives urging pas
sage Of tax reduction bill. and
asking that the adjusted compensa-
ton bill be defeated.
After explaining how this letter
was to be written, who 1t was
to be addressed to, the bulletin
finished with this significant phrase:
I'VE shall check up on our payroll
within the next couple of weeks
to find out who have written and
those who have not"
There is a practical threat. II

other employees, for that matter, did

ing what it wanted done.
Very promptly the company Off
Gals repudiated the act and fired
the general manager, Mr.. Swords,
for this attempt to sway the duly
elected representatives in Govern
ment in their opinion on measures.
President Coolidge rightly condemned
it as un-American.
I recently received a letter from
an employe Of the Chicago By-Prod-
ucts Coke Company, Thirty-first
street and KOstner avenue, Chicago
charging identical coercive means to
! influence Congress against adjusted
compensation.
Letter Significant.
Two form letters were inclosed
both Of which had been distributed
among its employees by this com
pany. These employees were "com
manded" to urge tax reduction and
condemn adjusted compensation
Both letters will be read to the
Reed investigating committee, car

the boy who sent them, they must

you that III. B. Rust, Melons mar

ferred before, is also president OF
this By.Products Coke Company
Thus is the veteran bounded in his
demand for justice.
Not content with intimating that
the veteran is unpatriotic, un
American, and possibly a red, be
cause he asks for adjusted com
pensation, a New York organ OF

DOHENY IN MONTANA OL

Washington, March Ex-senator
Thomas F. Walsh, democrat Of Mon
tana, in his zeal to bend the oil lease
Investigation to partisan advantage,
has tripped over his own tongue.
Befuddled by the Rawlings of Thomas
Helm, the Torquemeda of the demo
cratic inquisition, he has put him,
self in a position difficult to justify.
On February 81 the democratic
yellow sheets threw fits because Sem
ators Lenroot and Smoot "held a
secret conference with former Secre-
tary Of the Interior Fall last Christ
mas, 1929 about which the COM
mittee has never been told" This
scare-head story was seized upon by
Helm, who accepts gossip as gospel.
He asked the senate on the following
day: How are you going to make
much Roadway when the chairman
of the committee himself, (Mr. Len
root) and a former chairman of the
committee, (Mr. Smoot) are having
secret conferences with the man in
vOlved, the mar we are trying to in
dict, and are not telling the com.
mittee about the conversations ?"
Replying to the Helm slurs, Sen
ators Smoot and Lenroot on Febru-
airy 20 declared the purpose of their
visit to Fall was to urge him to make
a clean breast of the Doheny matter
and their conversations with Fall
were made known to three members
of the committee. Nh. Lenroot ask
ed Senator Walsh whether or not ir
his opinion there was any improperly
in the call upon Mr.. Fall for the
purpose indicated, and Walsh arose

A picture of increased living costs
OF increasing pressure OF work with
out either expansion of personnel or
increase of salaries was drawn by Mr..
Flaherty. The productivity of pos.
tai clerks has increased 10 per cent
in the last ten years, he declared,
whereas the personnel has expanded
only 8 pr cent.
He emphasized the fact that the
salaries schedules are so low as to
threaten Generalization in the ser

There are 500 postal clerks in

in it."
A few minutes later Walsh evil

~partisanship as the best policy, so
he and added: The bare fact,
as stated by the Senator, of his 60

colleague carried to my mind no i'm
propriety whatever. Neither Of the
Senators named INDUCED the suspic-
ion about this whole transaction with
which l was impressed from the very
beginning. At the time these trans
actions took place, in the spring of
1922, the secrecy which characterized
them, etc = = gave to the circum-
stance in my mind, from its incep-

Dillon GETS STATE
LIVESTOCK EXHIBIT

From all Indications the Montana
Stockgrowers convention at Dillon.
April q, 25, and 26, is going to be
the biggest event in the history Of
the association. From the moment
Dillon was assured Of the 1924 con-
vention ranchers and business men of
Beaverhead county, of which Dillon
is the county seat, have been striv
ing to make the meeting a success
that will be remembered for a long
time to come by livestock men Of the
country.
All of Montana's most prominent
growers will, of course, be present,
and most Of them will enter their
best stock in competition for the gen
erous prizes offered. A. B. Cook, Of
Townsend, whose famous HerefOrds
have won many championships and
prizes at national livestock shows,
will take a carload of his best ami
mails to Dillon. Both the Hereford
and ShOrthOrn Breeders associations
have evidenced their interest in the
show by offering 1925 in additional
premiums to be awarded to exhibit
ors of their stock. Both organiza-
tions will hold auction sales on the
second day of the show, the Here
ford association having postponed
their annual Dillon sale from March
10 to April 25 in order to be on hand
for the show, and are expected to
prove a big drawing card for buy
ers from all over the country, as the
best stock in Montana and n%eighbof-
ing states will be placed on sale.
Many agricultural experts Of ma
tional prominence will be present.

Wallace has accepted an invitation

Were the Good Old Days
Really Good?

When you hear an old-timer sigh for the days of his
forefathers, smile quietly to yourself and think of this:
The ancients got along without automobiles, soap,
stoves, tooth-brushes, window-glass, breakfast foods, tele-
~phones-without practically all of the things we consider
the bare essentials of life.
There never has been a time when life bettered itself
so rapidly and so consistently as now. New conveniences
and new comforts are continually being thought out and
brought out for your benefit.
In order to reap the advantages that are yours today,
you must read the advertisements. They bring you news
of all that the world of invention and discovery is doing
to make your work easier, your home life more pleasant,
your clothing and food problems less difficult. They keep
you informed of all that is new in the markets and stores.
They tell you not only about the goods, the styles, the
varieties and prices, but also where and when these things
are to be had.
The advertisements are messages from the business
world to you. Read them and heed them.

TURNER ROOFING AND SUPPLY
COMPANY'S BUSINESS SAID
TO HAVE DOUBLED IN YEAR
Unusually Rapid Growth Being Experienced by
Roofing Business Here, Says Report-Company's
Trade Outgrows All Expectations and Prices
Subsequently Are Reduced 20 Per Cent.

A rapid growth is being experienced
by the roofing business in San An
tonic. During the last several weeks
this has been even more apparent, ac-
cording to William A. Turner. presi-
dent of the Turner Roofing and Sup
ply Company, Dawson street. Dur
ing the last year. he reports, his COM
pany's business has more than doubled.
Mr.. Turner says that up TO the lat
ter part of 1922, the sales of the COM
pany were confined to San Antonio
and vicinity, while now they cover the
entire state of Texas.
The expansion OF this company's
trade has Outgrown its most sanguine
expectations, and as a consequence, it
has been enabled to reduce its prices
approximately 20 per cent. and fur
nish home builders with the best of
material at lowest possible prices. Mr..
Turner also states that in connection
with his business, Re has erected
sheet metal works, which now puts
him in a position TO supply any kind
of roofing that may be called for, as
his company carries one of the largest
and most varied stocks in Texas. This
places San Antonio in the front line
as a roofing material dealer. 49,
