VETERANS URGED BY McCAHAN
TO GET BEHIND MEMORIAL
Past Department Commander of Legion
Approves Present Campaign - Says
Auditorium Is Congress Business.

Writing to make clear what he be-
lieves to be the attitude of the ma
jority of veterans of the World War
toward the District War Memorial.
Paul J. McGahan, a past department
commander of the District Depart
ment of the American Legion, and
prominent in local legion affairs, has
addressed the following letter to New.
bold Noyes, chairman of the memorial
campaign:
II am impelIed to write to you be-
cause of the apparent difference OF
opinion that seems to exist in the
minds of the veterans of Washington
over the form that the memorial to
those men and women who served in
the World War is to take. feel that
it is extremely unfortunate that at
this late date there should be given
such extensive publicity to views that
certainly cannot have been arrived at
with any real deliberation.
"You may recall that early in April
as the tenth anniversary of the en-
trance of the United States into the
World War approached | delivered an
address, which was given considerable
publicity, in which / endeavored TO
bring focus of public attention on
the fact that Washington had not yet
materialiZed any of its plans to per.
manently honor it's sons and daugh-
ters who had gone into the war in
1917 and 1918.
Memorial on Highest Form.
when the present campaign of
which you are the head, was an
nounced I was delighted that in one
form at least this tribute was TO be
paid And actually as / see it, in the
highest form, for here is a memorial
to the dead and living for which it
is proposed that the citizenry of
Washington shall provide the neces-
sary funds.
"Of course the attitude of the
Veterans of the World War in their
expression of a desire for memorial
structure that will afford a housing
place for their meetings and an au-
| ditorium sufficiently large to enable
| them to bring together audiences to
hear patriotic addresses and to actual
| ly leave an impression upon the city,
as well as develop the cause of ma
| tional defense, can readily be under
stood.
1T is not an indiscretion to declare
| that fourscore American cities-less
| important than the Capital OF the Ma
| tion-have provided such memorials
for their sons and daughters who
served the colors. And Washington
in the limelight of the Nation-can
show none such.
Thinks Congress Should Act
But here, as 1 see it, is where
| those veterans who are Voicing their
objections to the memorial project, in
| behalf of which you are now leading a
| Embarrassing campaign, make their
mistake. The utilitarian thing that
they want is an obligation upon the

Congress of the United States, which
stands in the relationship of the city
legislative body to Washington. The
graceful and impressive memorial
which you are sponsoring is a civilian
effort and expression and the people
of Washington should respond ad-
equately, despite the many demands
upon their purses that now confront
them.
Il have been happy to work in a
minor way in the effort to raise the
fund and regret that my small con-
tribution cannot be larger. ! shall
not benefit, for ] did not enter the
war from the District of Columbia,
going in rather from my native city
Of Philadelphia.
But the veterans of Washington
have paid me high honors and | am
sorry to note at this time the iniec-
tion of discordant note, which / am
hopeful will not deter the citizens of
the community from making such re-
sponse as will insure the success of
your campaign.
THE material thing which has been
described as what the veterans want
must come from the Congress, and |
am certain that the Congress will ul.
timately meet its obligation in this re-
spect III manner Dehtting the Capi-
tai Of the Nation, in whose behalf
these men and women proffered their
services and their lives.

1.-THE developments Of the past few

~ urge the veterans and the citizens
of Washington to get behind this pres.
ent campaign and see to it that the
proposed memorial materializes. Then
ahead of US will be the task of causing
congress to see it's obligations in the
matter, behind which there cannot
help but be the force of an approving

investigation was reviewed. After a
special conference this morning be-

GOLDEN WEDDING AT
DAGMAR DECEMBER z

On Wednesday, December 7, 1925
the Dagmar community gathered at
the Brotherhood Hall in honor of the
aged couple Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Casper, who were married back in
Sweden just fifty years ago and who
have never yet been sorry for what
they did 1t was in the good old
days when people married for keeps.
For half a century this honorable
couple has stood side by side through
pleasure and hardship-lots of hard
ship-and helped not only one another
but everybody else they came in con-
tact with. Many a mother and
yOungster owe their lives to Mrs. Cas-
per, she was always there when help
was needed the very most.
Mr.. and Mrs. Casper were among
the first settlers and the Dagmal
community turned out big to cele-
brate the day with lots of good eats
with presents and good speeches from
noted local orators The DAY wa;
well spent and everybody went home
wishing that the good couple woulC
be able to join hands with them fol
many years to come

NEW FORDS ARRIVE

Considerable interest was aroused
here by the arrival of two new Fords.
While not ready for exhibition pur-
poses, the Fords have been observed
by several and much approval of their
fitness and finish has been voiced
Their bodies are finley lined and
graced with pleasing curves. Their
color job is of a quality that shows
richness and we'll being, and their
lines in general are wholly fitting for
the work desired of them. Probably
not without reason the design follows
that of former models, but there are
individual differences. They are gen
orally quiet, but there is considerable
sound under heavy strees of exertion.
Their speed and durability have not
yet been tested, but their fuel con-
sumption, at least at the present
time is surprisingly low. Methods OF
caring for the radiator overflow re-
mains the same. While formed on the
same general principles, there is much
difference between the two models
received here which is not surprising
when it is considered that one is {
boy and the other is a girl born tC
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Ford. The babies
have not been named, but they anC
their mother are reported to be doing
well.-Prairie du~ Chen Courier.

CONTRACTOR PAYS
FINE FOR WORKING
MAN OVER 8 HOURS

Butte, Dec. 1O-George Sutherland
contractor of the firm Of Sutherland
q Burns, which is building the Five
Mile Nine Mile highway, was found
guilty of a violation of the state
e,lght-hour statute and fined SlOO in
the court of Justice j. J. Mcnamara
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Sutherland, represented by j.
A. Poore, informed the court tnat he
had employed men to work nine
hours for which he paid them 60 cents
an hour, but he had told the men be
fore they went to work what cOndi-
tlons were. He said he was not
aware he was violating a state law
IN permitting his men 70 work the ad-
dltional hour. Mr.. Poore stated the
Montana statute makes no allowance
for an emergency and that in last
analysis could not be considered con
stitutional.

Advertising In Newspa-
pers Is Good Business

No business man in any town
should allow newspaper published
IN his town to go without his name
and business being mentioned some
where In its columns" according to
the the American Bankers Magazine.
This applies to all kinds of business
and professional men,. This does not
mean you should have a whole. half
or even quarter page ad in each is
sue Oh the paper, but your name and
BUSINESS should be mentioned. The
man who does not advertise his bnsiS
ness does an injustice to himself and s,1l
the town. The man who insists ON on
sharing the business which comes r., r.
town, but refuses to advertise his
own, is not valuable addition to anv
town. The life of a town depends
