Veteran pensioners of the Civil
War are passing on at the rate OF
LOO each month, according TO
the records of the Pension Blu
reau. Last years toll of those
who answered the final reveille
was 10000. At that rate another
decade will see hardly n of those
who fought in that memorable
struggle left to spin the story OF
his battles.
1t is a curious fact that Civil
War widows receiving pensions
from the government out-number
two to one the veterans them
selves. On May l of this year
only 1OS,OO veterans of that war
were on the pension lists, while
222, 900 widows of their comrades
were receiving a dole of thirty
dollars a month. The veterans

Although the ranks Of the Civil

$500 veterans of that conflict,
but only 1000 widows added the

Exclusive of funds expended in
behalf of veterans of the World

has spent the %stupendous sum Of
more than seven billions of~dollars
in pensions and claims arising out

this annual expense several mil

Harbo's Commissioner
Campaign is Short
ened by Jury
Service

Andrew Harbo, the popular farmer east of
Froid, who is candidate for the six year term as
County Commissioner, has had little chance to
see the voters of the county for the reason that
he served as jurynnan on the sensational Schlaps
trial; this took fully two weeks and instead of
being out seeing the people, he was keeping
warm a hard chair in the jury box. This is over
now-but the wheat is ripe and the next move
is from the jury box onto the binder; so when
the wheat is in the shock the primary will be
over and the voters will have spoken.
Mr.. Harbo has farmed very successfully
east of Froid for nineteen years and is generally
considered as one of the best balanced minds
in the county. A vote for him for this import
ant position is a vote we'll placed; he is that
type Of man who by slow, careful going, has
made success in his own venture; he has the
general respect of the entire community in which
he resides, and will give a good account of him
self while in public service.
Mr.. Harbo would have been pleased to see
the voters personally, but you can readily see
that this has been impossible, but he respectful
ly solicits your vote and your support.

BIGGEST MOMENT OF
MY BIGGEST FIGHT
By Tiger Flowers
philadelphia Public LEDGER

(PnllaQelpnla PuDIc LeQSer)
One would think that the biggest
moment of my fistic life must have
come when I won the middleweight
championship from Harry Greb in
Madison Square Garden. 1t really
was not, though. That big moment
flashed the first time I fought Greb
in Fremont, Ohio, August 81, 1924.
1t was a ten-round, no-decision
bout, and was training to make the
middleweight limit, despite the fact
that the only way I could win the
title under those conditions was a
knockout. Mr.. Walk Miller, my
manager, informed me that I must
come in over the limit of the class.
"Tiger," he said to me, 81 want
you to win this fight, but not by too
much of margin. The big thing
is to get bout to a decision, with
the championship at stake, and if
you go too far ahead tonight We'll
never get it,"
I could see this point, and it was
well taken. But I wasn't. sure I
would be able to win by great mar
gin, even if I wanted to, for Mr.. Greb
was one of the fistic marvels of the
game, and had lost only two or three
decisions in some 800 fights.
