Be Prepared Is Arnaistice Days
Message of the NeU Legion Chief

men who went over to Flanders field
but never returned l know of no
better way to celebrate that day than
by upholding the national defense act
of 1920
I believe in national preparedness.
God knows we do not want another
war. We should be ever at peace, but
ever prepared.
| sincerely hope that there never will
be another Armstice Day, that there
will never be another war.
| remember when l was small my
father told us that the children of that
day would be the men of tomorrow
| that they would fill the places of those
who had gone before.
Now my father is gone and the fa-
theirs of many of the Legion men are
gone, and il is our duty to see that
the coming generation is prepared to
take up the torch and sword when we
are called before our Creator.
Then we can face Him with a sense
of having done our duty.

"IN FLANDERS FIELD

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the Crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below
We are the dead, .Get
Short days ago we lived,
Felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, cnd now we lie
In Flanders field.

To you from falling hands
We throw the Torch,
Be yours to hold it high:
If We break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies

CONGRESS STILL HOPES ID FINISH
Members Expect To Conclude
 Session This Week

Washington, June 90 LPl-Mem-
 bers of congress were more hope tul than ever today that they
 would be able to leave for home at the end Of this week or early next week.
 Few obstacles apparently stood in the way of leaders tentative plans 10 bring about adjustment Saturday. The senate definitely had rejected all surplus crop proposals 1 advanced and had passed the CO., operative marketing bill. The house practically had cleared it's calendar of important measures with passage of the last deficiency bill. Post ponement of action on the contro- verted rivers and harbors bill was the subject Of negotiations. Representative Tilson Of Con necticut, republican leader in the house, and others were Of the opin- ion that the adjournment date rested largely in the hands of the proponent Of the rivers and har- bors bill, which was passed by that chamber and sent to the senate after a bitter fight centering chiefly about Its Illinois waterway provi- sion. Leaders on both sides in the senate tentatively agreed yesterday, however, 10 fix December 10 as the date for taking up the measure. with debate limited after December IS.
 Representative Madden. republi- can, Illinois, one Of the leading ad- vocates Of the Illinois waterway project who recently blocked 8 resolution 10 fix an adjournment date, holding that this should not be done until farm relief and the deficiency bill were disposed of is now of the opinion that the session might be brought to an end Satur- day. He estimated it would take the senate several days to dispose of the deficiency bill.
 Although the senate was expect ed to act quickly on the deficiency measure. it's unfinished business, :" after disposing Of the cooperative marketing bill, was the radio con- troi proposal already passed by the house. This and one or two other measures had ardent advocates, and a single objection to the ad- journment agreement could block it's adoption.
 Before passing the deficiency bill, the house took its first roll call vote of the session on a prohi- bition issue rejecting a move to eliminate a s2,6S6,76O appropria- ton to enable the prohibition unit to employ 906 additional agents. Carrying total of s45,O140o0, the bill provides $14.156.000 for 73 public buildings projects through out the country.

It is a great center Of entertainment and visitors come here from all over the country to be amused. Why. Your Honor. you yourself have done practically nothing else in the last few months but entertain visitors"
 "W-e-l-l-l," drawled the mayor, that's about as accurate as some Of your other statements. l assure you I have had something else to do recently besides entertaining.
 When Dave Stone, representing q club in the lower Thirties, desper- ately inquired, where will they go at 8 o'clock?" the mayor respond ed:
 Where I've learned to-home!" and his gavel banged.
 After representatives of the clubs had failed to convince that his proposed bill should be modified so that the clubs might remain open until S:3O the hearing was adjourn ed.
