Disabled Veterans Urged
To Present" Comp. Claims

Arizona disabled veterans of the
World War are warned by Neri Os-
born, jr, department adjutant Of the
American Legion, to present their
claims for compensation to the U. S,
Veterans bureau Immediately, as the
time limit will soon expire.
Attention is called to the wording
of the War Risk Insurance act,
which specifically state:
"That no compensation shall be
payable unless claim therefor be
filed. in case of disability, within five
years after discharge or resignation
during the service, within five years
after such death is officially recorded
ins the department under which he
may be serving: Provided, however,
that where compensation is payable
for death or disability occurring
after discharge or resignation from
the service claim must be made
within five years after such death
or the beginning of such disability.
"The time herein provided may be
extended bv the Director not to ex-
ceed one year for good cause shown.
If at the time that any right accrues
to any person under the provisions
of this article, such person is a
minor, or is of unsound mind or
physically unable to make a claim,
the time herein provided shall bee
to run until such disability ceases.
Adiutant Osborn further points
out that as most of the men were
discharged in 1919, this will be the
last year that many of them can
legally file claim except in extreme
cases where the appeal must be sent
to the central office in Washin o't"1
and the director allows the additional
year.
To those ex-service men who have
hesitated about filing claim. Osborn
says that they should remember that
their disabilities are most apt to
grow worse instead of better with
advancing years. and that too often
aid is not asked until it is too late.
For this reason the Veterans bureau
is endeavoring to reach all possible
claimants before their time limit
has expired.

Troop No. / Hike

Fourteen boys of Troop No. /
under the direction of Charles S.
Mccormick, the Scout executive,
started from the railway station
Saturday morning for Clear Creek,
carrying their own bedding, food and
eating equipment.
The squad reached their camp site
in one hour and forty minutes from
the time they left Winslow. Follow
ing a light lunch wood was collected
for the council fire and for cooking
purposes.
In the afternoon A. R. Hipkoe
arrived with the heavy equipment
and the tents, which were immedi-
Fately set up by the boys. About
A p. m. Dale Smith, Scoutmaster
arrived, and preparations were COM
menced for the evening meal.
After an enjoyable supper Of fried
steak, boiled potatoes, bread, butter
and jam, the entire company gather
ed around the council fire. Games,
talks and singing were indulged in
until 8 p. m. when taps was sung
and everyone retired to his bed
I The boys very likely missed their
soft beds at home, for a good many
were stirring at daybreak, and then
tents began falling on those who
would rather have slept longer.
Breakfast consisted of hot cakes
(Aunt Jamima's) with butter and
jam, bacon and coffee, after which
tests for tenderfoot were given, r.
j. Fussel, Lawrence. Stanley and
Gregory Hynes taking them. A
number of tests were also given for
second-class Scouts, one deserving of
special credit was that in which it
was necessary for the Scout to build
fire, using not more then two
matches, cook meat and potatoes
without any utensils. Those who
remember Sunday morning realize
that this test was no mean feat.
Religious services were also held.
The return to town was another
test of pluck, for the boys had to
hike through the sand storm. The
truck which was sent to bring them
home, broke down and they were un-
able to ride very far. All in all it
was successful hike although a
rather disagreeable finish.

Irestle. So reads the Harrisburg.
Pa, Evening News in its account
of the recent good work of five

safety two fear-stricken children.
seven and eight years old, who had
strayed to position of danger and
uncertainty.
The Scouts had been out with
their Scoutmaster passing tracking,
flrebuilding and other tests, and were
hiking homeWard, when they noticed
the trembling youngsters, too fright
ened to move, ON the slippery, snow
covered trestle Below them was

side fifteen feet of icy ties to safety
The Scouts hastened to the edge
of the trestle Taking hands, they
walked out on the frozen elevation
and stood firm on the ties while
the children crept back to solid
ground, holding tightly to each of
their rescuers in turn for support
"The girls are believed to have
followed small boy out on the
trestle", says the News. "The boy
had walked the trestle to high
elnbanknent over which he had then
gone on his sled. SO steep was the
grade that the sled was smashed and
the boy has bruised up a bit
"The two girls are believed to
have become frightened when they
saw the fate of the boy and in their
fright were unable to move from
the trestle.
"After rescuing the girls, the
Scouts gave first aid to the boy
who had also been slightly cut in
his coastinp accident"

Now for the seedIess Tomato.


The latest and most interesting of
vegetable novelties is a seedless to-
mato, produced as the result OF ex-
periments at the experiment station
at New Brunswick, N. ]. Not every
fruit of the plant is entirely seedless,
though many Of them are SO; but
those that contain any seeds have
usually only half dozen. An ordin-
airy tomato, on the other hand, as
everybody knows, contains hundreds
of seeds
Prof Halsted, who has had charge
of the work, has produced seedless
fruits of several varieties and crosses
of tomatoes. In most cases, however,
they were dwarfs, many being no
larger than peas, though often of ex-
cellent flavor. In one instance the
fruit tasted like a strawberry.
On the other hand, by crossing the
above practically seedless tomato Ito
which the name giant has been given
on account of the great size of the
plant) with the crimson cushion to-
mato. absolutely seedless fruits were
produced which were bis enough for
table use The work is being con-
tinued and promises to result in the
establishment of e number Of sat
isfactory seedless varieties.
