Protests Against Economy Measure
 Steadily Mounting
False Propaganda Is Being Spread - State and Cities Will Have to Take Care of Veterans

The sympathy of the general public for the dependency of dis abled war veterans will be express ed in vigorous protests to President Roosevelt and congress within a few months, was the prediction made by Edward Kelly of Meri- den, national rehabilitation officer, who was the guest speaker last evening of the waterbury chapter, Disabled American Veterans.
 "The present talk that the econ omy measure affects only undeserv- ing veterans awarded disability al- lowances for injuries suffered since the signing of the armistice is false propaganda" MT Kelly stated. Blind, crippled, insane and dis abled men wounded or gassed in the front line trenches, are going to suffer and their dependents with them. This so-called 20 per cent cut on general scale is noth- ing but 'hokum.' A allowance for wife and children are to be elim- mated. There will be a straight cut for all and on top of that new ratings will be made. which is the equivalent of more serious slash in compensation than the general cut. Some veterans, worthy and de- serving of every consideration for war connected wounds and disa- bilities are to be placed at such q disadvantage that their families will suffer and appeals to city and state agencies will be inevitable. July 1st. a nationwide protest against the injustice of the econ- omy measure will follow"
 It was intimated that reaction to the proposed cuts has already developed. Editorial writes in news papers and magazines throughout the country. who once denounced disa ability allowances to veterans for non-service connected disabil- tiles, are now taking up the fight for the worthy veteran. The D. A. V. throughout the United States has started to dig in for one of the most bitter fights ex-service men have ever waged. Veterans who are suffering from wounds and injuries occurring in the service of their country come before rack eteering politicians and political parasites". is the cry that will be heard soon on all fronts.
 MT Kelly expressed the hope that the D. A. V. through its influence will be successful in having Presi-

COUNTY INMATES TO
have new HOME

BY the first of next week Sher-
idan county will have established
its first home for those who are un-
able to care for themselves or have
no relatives where they can make
their home.
Carpenters and painters have been
busy this week making repairs on
the old Mig Collins property a mile
south Of the city limits on the Mud
dy creek. The house Is being entire
~ reprinted inside and repairs made
10 provide comfortable living quar-
tiers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Christ Christianson
of BaIevieW VIII nave charge OF the
home. They expect to move In with
their family the latter part of the
week.
Those having been cared for by
the county in the Plentywood Hotel
during the past year win be moved
to the new quarters as soon as it is
ready, which at present include six
or sever persons.
The property, which received
much notoriety throughout this sec
ton In years past as the Mig Collins
chicken ranch, had been taken
over by the county in execution OF
a judgment against Collins for his
failure to pay a fine assessed against
hin when convicted on a criminal
charge for which he is now serving
a penitentiary sentence at Deer
Lodge.
The county commissioners had
just recently advertised the proper
ty for sale, but with the disposal OF
the Plentywood hotel property and
inability to find other quarters for
the poor, 1t was decided to make use
Of this property, already owned by
the county, as a home for the indi-
gent.
The property consists of % acres
lying just at the foot of the hills
south of the city and through which
the Muddy flows. The building con-
sist of a house with nine rooms, all
on the ground floor, with q good
basement and furnace, and a gar
age adjoining. There is a small
barn. Two other buildings had evil
IDENTITY been used by Collins for
housing his pedigreed chickens in
the balmy days when cock fights
were among the reading sport
events and of which Collins was one
of the states chief promoters. About
five or six acres has been broken
and cropped, besides a large garden
plot near the house.
1t is planned to place chickens,
cows and horses at the farm as soOn
ms possible, and a large garden will
be put in by the new manager with
assistance of the inmates.
County Commissioners believe
they will not only have provided
very desirable quarters for those de-
pending on the county for susten-
ance, but that considerable money
can be saved under the new plan
OF operating the county's own
home.
