Cannon in Demand
The local American Legion post, as
most everybody knows, has secured a
cannon from the government, which
they have mounted on a wheel car
riage, so it may be drawn in a parade
Now, this cannon made a great hit in
the state Legion convention parade at
Norfolk and as we visited Greenwood
this week, we found the fair board
conferring with the Legionnaires re
garding the matter of putting the
cannon in the parade at the county
fair next week, accompanied by a
large delegation of Cass county Le
gionnaires. The cannon has been
painted in modernistic manner, uti
lizing the camouflage plan existant
during the world war and brings rec

time back in 1917-18, when the most

deadly weapons of destruction.

French Lick, Ind. Effort to
change existing federal regulations
which prevent a home owner from
deducting from his taxable income
losses sustained in the sale of prop
erty used by him as a residence was
favored by the board of directors of
the United States Building and Loan
League. The board met following
the league's annual convention here
last week.
A resolution adopted points out
an apparent discrimination in tne
federal income tax laws against the
man who lives in the bouse he owns
as opposed to the owner of property
used for revenue or profit. The lat
ter, it was stated, may deduct losses
incurred in selling, whereas - the
owner-occupant cannot.
The session of the directors was
held after installation of Mr. Ward
B. Whitlock of Springfield, 111., as
president of the league. Mr. Whit
lock has been first vice-president dur
ing the past year and has spent 42
years in the building and loan busi
ness. Mr. Philip Lieber of Shreve
port. La., becomes first vice-presi
dent and Mr. I. Friedlander of Hous
ton, Texas, second vice-president.
Chief among the resolutions was
one expressing appreciation for
President Hoover's contribution to
thrift and home-owning as embodied
in his advocacy of the Federal Home
Loan Bank system.
Judge Fred G. Stickel, Jr., of New
ark, N. J., in an address before the
final session, said that the ideal home
loan bank system would be one com
pelling home financing institutions
to be members.
"The compulsory system could not
prevail in national legislation," he
said, "therefore, the per6Uis!on ays

government into the picture eolel
