arrested by prohibition officers yester-
day were William Payne, organizer, and
Mrs. Lena Wichrowski, 60-year-old
widow listed as president.
Daniel Anderson, assistant United
States attorney, said the leagues pur-
pose apparently was three-edged: 1t
served to punish those it opposed, it re-
warded customers" and it collected
money for law and order, using the
money for the overthrow of law and
order"
Anderson said the Government was
Informed that the league sold alcohol
and provided degree of protection TO
its customers. To SaloonkeeperS who
refused to buy alcohol from it, the
league Is alleged to have retorted with
raids. An Office was maintained at
which subscriptions were received from
persons interested in prohibition law
enforcement.
Payne, known as a professional re-
former, called the arrest a frame-up
"Ive been fighting liquor and vice for
10 years." he said.
Mrs. Wichrowski was surprised at the
charges and Federal men were con-
WINGED she was made president as a
blind. She said she believed the league
was all that its name implied, and told
Of having written many letters herself

NEW PROCESS DESIGNED
TO MAKE STAMPS STICK
Product Is Allowed to Become
Thoroughly Dry Before Gum
Is Applied.

In an effort to improve the adhesive
ness of stamps a slightly different proc
ess has been employed in their manu-
facture, and some of the new stamps
are now on sale in this city.
Formerly the paper was slightly
dampened, and then the stamp was
printed and gummed in the same proc
ess through one machine. Now the
bureau is printing one day. allowing
the stamp to become thoroughly dry
and then applying the gum later. This
is believed to leave more gum on the
surface of the stamp. No change has
been made in the ingredients going into
the stamp.

whenever the wind does break loose
we will be in for real blizzard, and
everyone should be prepared for it by
having plenty of fuel on hand as the
roads will be blockaded to the mines.

WAR VETS SHOULD
FILE FOR BONUS
300, 900 Must File for Bonus
Before Jan. 1st, 1880

Washington Many world War
Veterans have failed to file apph-
actions for the adjusted service cer-
tifcates, commonly known as the bo-
nus, according to information made
public by Senator Burton X. Wheeler,
Of Montana. Unless those appica-
tions are filed before January, 1880,
it precludes all chances Of the vet
Grams receiving compensation, accord
ing to high official of the Veterans
Bureau.
In making the announcement, Sem
ator Wheeler urged all of those en-
titled to the certificates to communi-
cate with him in Washington. On re-
ceipt of letter, the Senator will for
ward the necessary blanks to the ap-
plicants.
1t is estimated that about 800, 900
veterans have failed to make appli-
cations for these certificates. In ex-
planning the scope Of the certificates,
Senator Wheeler said that in cases
where veteran dies before or after
the passing Of the Act of Congress Of
May 19, 1924, without filing applica-
tions, widows, children, or dependant
children may do so.
In view of the fact that Congress
has already extended the time limit
for the filing Of these applications,
it was intimated in government
circles that it was not probable that
it would do so again. For that rea-
son all veterans and their dependants
who are entitled to the certificates
are urged to communicate with Sen
ator Wheeler at an early date.
