LEGION SAYS ATTORNEYS MAY
BE GRINDING THEIR OWN AXES
WHEN THEY ASK YOU TO SUE
ON VETERANS INSURANCE.

Secretary VIM. T. Knoll of the Min
nesota Legion Department rehabilit-
alton committee, transmits this warn
ing to world war veterans and their
dependents.
II am informed that a firm of at
torneyS in Minneapolis has been send
ing agents to the Soldiers Homes to
get veterans to sign documents ap-
pointing them as attorneys for the
purpose of suing on government in
surance. Demands for payment of
insurance are being submitted by these
attorneys to the Veterans Bureau even
though the time for suing on insur-
ance upon which no premiums have
been paid since discharge, expired In
May, 1929.
Apparently this firm is signing up
these cases with the thought and hope
that Congress will extend the time for
filing suit. 1t is doubtful whether
Congress will extend the time.
Meantime action on the claims Of
many veterans whom the attorneys
agents have signed up is being stopped
by the U. S. Veterans Bureau, because
whenever suit is threatened the claims
are taken out of the regular routine
action. This means that many worthy
claims upon which we have been get
ting evidence will be placed on a nom
active status and the veteran, his wife
and family may suffer for a number
of years while the threatened suit Is
disposed of.
This is not the only firm in Min
neSota that has visions of wealth
through handling groups of veterans
insurance suits, wherein they are guar
anteed a definite and sure percentage
Of pay and wherein also the suit brings
out so much sympathy from both juries
and court that they will not deny any
claim which has the least amount of
merit.
Veterans who contemplate suit
against the government should con-
suit with officers of the nearest vet
Grams organization. The American
Legion has been assisting veterans
with competent advice on these mat
tiers for more than a year past and win
be very willing to aid them in the
future"

garding the unfortunate accident VIC
tim near here two weeks ago. The
mother, Mrs. Eichman, is the local
reporter for the Springfield paper and

Of host of friends. The Advance

Seldom has this community been
so shocked and grieved as it was last
Thursday when word reached this city
that Miss Gladys Eichman had died
that morning from injuries received in
an auto accident at Ely, Minnesota, on
the previous evening. Last Wednesday
evening her mother, Mrs. Gertrude
Eichman, received telephone message
from the Shipman Hospital at Ely,

"The accident that caused the death
of this young school teacher was a
distressing one. Miss Eichman was
riding in the rear seat Of Ford car
owned and driven by Anton Lindquist,
engineer in the school at Tower, where
Miss Eichnan taught. His daughter
occupied the front seat with him while
Miss Eichman Miss Carlson and the
school nurse, Miss Hursh, occupied the
rear seat They were on their way to
Ely to attend basketball game. A
number of other cars from Tower and
Soudan were back of them, the super
intendents car being Immediately be-
hind. Suddenly big LaSalle car,
driven by an Ely party, passed the
superintendent car and cut in too
quickly, striking the Ford and tipping
1t over. The superintendent, w. E.
Noyes, in order to avoid hitting the
overturned car, drove off the grade.
His wife sustained some injuries. The
next car from the rear crashed into the
overturned car containing the five oc-
cupants. Investigation revealed that
Miss Eichman and Miss Carlson were
terribly injured and they were rushed
to the hospital Miss Eicnman was
conscious for two hours following tine
accident. Her death occurred at IL Is
the following morning.

Other winners in the contest were

We predict the trio a successful trip

EXPRESS A PREFERENCE FOR
OFFICIAL NATIONAL FLOWER.

unlike many other countries, the
united States has never had a nat
lonal flower. Now it seems likely that
we are to have one as the result of a
nationwide referendum in which more
than million Americans expressed
preference for one flower for that
honor over several contenders. For
congress will be asked to make this
selection official by legislative action
and then the United States will have
a national flower as well as a nat
lonal bird and other such symbols.
Do you know which flower was the
one chosen by this great popular vote?
Ii not, read the illustrated feature
