To EX-Service men:
At the last meeting of the county
board l was appointed to help ex-
soldiers of Pine county in making out
papers to establish claims for COM
pensation. l do not know how many
of these there may be but would be
glad to hear from those ex-soldiers
who feel that they have claim that
they wish to present to the govern
ment. Often times there are blanks
to be filled out, affidavits to be Sc
cured, or medical certificates. The
so-called National conomy Act
passed by the late session of Con-
gress, reduced or eliminated altogeth-
er allowances being paid many dis
view of all cases.
This is an effort to get justice for
those men who suffered injury or ill
ness traceable to military service.
Claims must be carefully handled and
forms asked for by the government
should be completely filled out. The
Farmer-Labor Leader of August Is
contained a message from William T.
Knoll, Liaison Officer Of the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars, from which l quote:
BEST results have been obtained by
asking each disabled veteran to write
a complete personal history, starting
from the time he enlisted and de-
scribing in detail each sickness or
injury, giving the approximate dates
and describing the symptoms in each
instance. This history should run
from date of enlistment until date of
discharge and until one year after
discharge.
This history together with the
names, rank and organization of a
dozen comrades in service and the
names and addresses of a dozen or
more persons who knew the veteran
during the first year after discharge
should be forwarded to the Depart
ment Liafson officer and he in turn
will write for the addresses of COM
rades and then write to both the COM
rades and other witnesses and. secure
the evidence necessary to make the

MACHINERY AND UNEMPLOYMENT
(The Progressively

Employers introduce labor-display-
ing machinery so that a few working
men and women will produce as much
or more wealth in a given time than
the larger number of workers with
the old machinery.
Some out-Of-date business leaders
and their parasitic ballyhooers among
journalists and economists insist on
maintaining the impossible position
that the workers thus thrown into the
unemployed army find employment in
other occupations. Consequently, they
say, there is really no such thing as
Unemployment caused by employers
setting up iron workers to take the
place of workers made of flesh and
blood.
They shout this tommyrot from the
hOusetOpS despite the existence in the
United States of an army numbering
from II to Is million working men
and women who are unemployed large
ly because the machines have taken
their jobs.
The absurdity of this position is
cOnclusively shown by the report
made by the International Labor Of
flee to the conference on hours Of
work and unemployment recently held
at Geneva under the auspices of the
International Labor organization. The
report said:
"While the general proposition that

In this work sincerely desire the
cooperation of Legion commanders
and Legion Adjutants in Pine county
so that no just claim of an ex-serv1ce

In his article in the FL. Leader,
Mr.. Knoll also states the facts Of the
law as follows:
Payment in cases Of nOn-service
connected disability is only made
when the disability is total and per-
manent. The rate is $50 per month.
War time disabilities, service con-
nected, are given total rating of $50
per month and in lesser amounts &C
cording to percentage granted by the
government. Disabilities incurred in
Army service, but not during war

LIQUOR OR DAIRY PRODUCTS
P. L. HAMLIN.

Dear Friends:
Are you going to the polls
on Sept ~ and vote against the
repeal of the 18th Amendment? Or,
are you going to stay at home? The
stay at home vote is a repeal vote.
No state so far has had more than
500 of her voters out at their cleo
tions.
Do you mothers want barrels and
barrels of hard liquor to be put where
your provider can buy it easily with
the hard earned cash you need so
badly for bread and shoes for your
children?
Do you feel for one minute that it
can bring prosperity when already
the beer consumption has cut deeply
into the milk business?
| know whereof | speak as I've
spent this summer on a large dairy
farm which operates a retail milk
business in one of Minnesota's popu-
lar summer resorts.
The amount of milk and cream sold
to restaurants has decreased 2O%o or
more. Housewives who bought and
8 quarts of milk daily take about 2
quarts now and some have discon-
tinued milk entirely and buy about
one-half pint of cream.
With the advent of prohibition the
consumption of milk increased from
AZ gallons per capita to about so gal
Ions; cheese increased 500 and but
ter 249o and the ice cream industry
grew by leaps and bounds.
Can the amount of grain used in
making liquor help the farmer out of
this depression? At the beginning of
the World war the brewers assured
the government that only y of 196 of
all of the grain raised in the United
States was used for liquor and that
was barley which they claimed was
not a staple human food.
Are you, then, in the face of all of
these facts, going to vote for repeal
and fatten the pocketbooks of the
brewers? Are you going to be one
who will be partially responsible for
hard liquor coming back? You may
say that it cannot hurt you or your
family-but haven't you a little COM
passion for your weak-minded neigh
Dor who can't leave liquor alone?
Get out and vote against repeal on
Sept. II, and see that your neighbor
goes to the polls. Let us keep the
18th Amendment until something bet
ter is assured.

Speaking of kidnapping again, do
you know that that crime is practi-
cally unknown in England? There's
good reason, too. 1t is crime to pay
ransom money for the recovery Of
one who has been kidnapped. If rela-
tives do pay they become a party to
the crime and are prosecuted just as
vigorously as the perpetrators. Since
no ransom can be collected criminals
are not tempted to kidnap.

FEDERAL JUDGES

Senator Shipstead doesn't believe
that appointment for life as a federal

said in a recent talk before a group
of lawyers:
81 cannot subscribe to the idea that
a senator shall be able to saddle the
people of state or of the country
at large with a judge appointment

This practice results in the estab-

This country is now learning the

United Press Staff Correspondent

WIMBLEDON, Eng, June %
With All American seeded players
still surviving in the mems and
women IS singles, play opened today
in the mems doubles and mixed
doubles of the Wimbledon tennis
championships.
Mrs. Helen Wills Moody of Cal
ifornia, defending women S singles
champion, teamed with George
Patrick Hughes, former British
Davis cup player, in launching a
drive for the mixed doubles crown
held by Miss Elizabeth Ryan of
California and Enrique Maier of
Spain. Their first round oppon-
entS were Mrs. F.. M. StraWson and
E. r. Ayory of England.
Lester Stoefen of Los Angeles and
Clifford Suffer of New Orleans
we're opposed to the young French
stars, Marcel Bernard and Andre
Merlin, in the first round men S
doubles. They are expected to
make a strong bid for the title won
last year by Jacques Brugnon and
Jean Borotra of France.
Both American holders of VIM
bledon S singles titles, Mrs. Moody
and Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena.
came through yesterdays play i'm
pressively. The California girl en-
tered her bid for sixth Wimble-
done title by breezing to a 60, 60
victory over Mrs. j. P. McReady
of England Mrs. Moody entered
the third round, having drawn a
first round bye. Vines, despite a
! painfully turned ankle, also reached
the third round in his division by
eliminating T, A. England of Great
Britain, 81, AS, 7-5, 6-1.
The other seeded players who
advanced were Keith Gledhill of
Santa Barbara, Stoeven, Suffer,
and Miss Helen Jacobs of Califor-
mia, American champion, and Mrs.
Dorothy AndruS Burke. Two young
Americans attending English uni
versities. Clayton Lee Burwell and
David N. Jones, likewise won their
matches. w. l.. Breese, former
Harvard player, was not SO FORUM
ate, losing to the japanese veteran,
| Ryuki Mkt.
The first major upset of the
tourney occurred when England S
No. l player, Fred Perry, was de-
feated by Norman Farquharson,
veteran South African Davis cup
star, Us, 6-1, 3-6, 4-6, Ga. This
lessened considerably British hopes
that the title might be returned to
England. Many European experts
considered Perry a formidable foe
for Vines.

PLAYS TONIGHT

Come early and avoid the rush
is the warning given to night ball
fans for the big game between the
local All Stars and the Urban Out
laws of San Diego who play to-
night on the Wilson school
grounds. At least, seats will be at
a premium as the largest turnout
of the season is expected for this
same.
In their last appearance mere, the
Outlaws who rank as the cream of
Southland S ball tossers, dropped

game was a masterpiece of pitch
ing cleverness with both Comstock,
the OUTLAW twirler and Hurst, All
Stars hurler, setting down the OPP
position in 1-2-3 order until home
lun put the locals in the lead with
the lone tally of the game.
Comstock has turned in two no
run, no-hit performances so far
this season and those who witness
ed his performance in his last game
rere will admit that he has plenty
OF stuff and knows how to put it
on the ball. Joe Hurst is plenty
good, too, and when these two boys
meet up it cannot be anything but
first class ball game all the way
through with plenty of thrills and
heaps Of excitement.
The game will start promptly at
