AMERICAN LEGION NOTES
The Atnrrirnn Legion men of Ne
I'rafka have boon entirely successful
in their legislative efforts. Hills
Fponoicd by the veterans in the ptnte
legislature include the boning bill, the
lisahted veterans endowment bill, the
American language law and the Ja
fianch exclusion act, besides ome
measures of minor importance.
The baking bill was first passed by
the house with an amendment limit
ing the attendance charge to one dol
lar. This was considered by the le
pion officials as offsetting the value
of the measure ami they succeeded in
Laving the senate pass it without the
amendment. The house then concurred
with the upper branch.
The endowment bill was the legion'
pet measure. By its provisions the
Mate is to buy $2,000,000 worth of in
terest bearing bonds, the income from
vhich is to be used for the relief of
wounded, disabled or needy ex-service
men and their families under the age
of Fixtcen. The fund will be admin
istered by the American Iipgion under
the supervision of a state board. An
amendment makes $.ri0,000 of the ap
propriation available immediately.
Ihe fight for and against the Amer
ican language law grew to be the bit
terest and the best advert ised of the
session. Finding that the German
language element of the state was
trying to amend the Siman law, the
legionnaires turned the full force of
their organization loose on the legis
lature. The Reed-Norval law was J
finally passed in both branches with
conclusive majorities, due in great part j
to the efforts of the ex-soldier or
ganization. In place of weukening the
Siman law, as was intended by the
introducer, it was no amended as to
strengthen existing laws in regard to
the ure of the American language.
The passage of the Japanese ex
clusion act was in line with the de
cision of the American I-egion as ex
pressed at its national convention at
Cleveland. The law provides that no
Alien may own land or own the ma
Jority of stock In any company which
owns land in the state, or operate land
as guardian or manage for minors, un
less this right is specifically guaran
teed by treaties.
The Nebraska American legion
will contribute $1,000 toward decorat
ing the graves of soldiers buried in
1-ranee, according to an announce
ment mnde by the state adjutant,
Frank II. O'Connell. Last year the
organization raised $500- for this pur
pose, mostly among the ex-service
men.
The Paris post of the legion has ar
ranged to decorate ajl overseas graves,
nd each state is. sending its quota
for this purpose. While the veterans
plan to raise the most of this fund
themselves, they will necept dona
tions, to assist in carrying out this
Facred obligation, from patriotic citi
zens, clubs and other organizations.
Anyone desiring to assist in this
manner should make the cheek pay

A HILL SONG
Oh, towns were made for listless folk,
who tread an ordered round,
Who fence their petty live about with
mark and mete and bound.
But hills were made for virile folk,
who dare to walk alone,
With all the world beneath their feet
and all the sky their own.
Oh. streets were made for feeble feet
that keep a mincing pace,
That beat a treadmill path across the
city's hampered space.
But trails were mnde for sturdy feet,
that love to do and dare,
And ask no pleasure but a-road .hat
leads them anywhere.
Oh,' roofs were made for timid heads,
that guard their eyes from fright,
With lofty beams and rafters Btrong
above them day and night.
But hills enfold a sounder sleep, warm
in a blanket bed.
With aspens laughing in the wind,
and star-fire overhead.
And city folk may have their town,
and walk their ordered way;
And live their close and sheltered
lives, day by eventless day.
But we who are the hill-folk will ask
God this grace
A winding trail beneath our feet; the
hill-wind in our face.

Such is the theory of Saving. It is not
the small amount of money, which
starts your Savings Account today
that counts, but what that amount will
grow to in time to come. A Dollar put
away today will be worth considerably
more in a year from now because of
the interest it has earned for.you.
Hence, there is a hint for everyone who
has acquired the Saving habit. Take
what few dollars you can spare today,
bring them to us and watch how they
grow while in a Savings Account here.
Whenever you need them, you can get
them with the 5 interest they have
earned while in our hands. Think it
over, and act.

Names
Will Come Out
Stars and Stripes: Veterans who
have been patiently awaiting the pub
lication of the draft evader lists are
beginning to doubt if ther ever will
break into public print.
Mai. Gen. Peter C. Harris, adjutant
general, announced about a month age
that he expected to start publishing
them according to districts by the
first of Ann I. Several weeks previou.'
to that Secretary of War Weeks had
promised their publication as soon as
the checking process was completed.
About that time Mr. Weeks conceiv
ed the idea of inquiring of the Attor
ney General if the Government would
be lfabie should the names of inno
cent men be published with the slack
ers. He made such an inquiry and
since then has been holding up the
lists awaiting an opinion from Mr.
Daugherty.
It is understood the Attorney Gen
eral has replied informally that the
government would be responsible, but
early this week no formal opinion had
been given. In case the formal opin
ion is similar to Mr. Daugherty s ir
formal reply it is expected the lists
will remain unpublished.
In the meantime the Adjutant Gen
eral continues his plans for distribut
ing the names. Last week he an
nounced the lists would be issued from
the headquarters of the various corps
areas instead or. from Washington.
This week he made a second, call on
local draft boards that had failed tc
respond to his request for aid in
checking the lists.
Gen. Harris says 2,001 local boards
have failed to answer his request, and
that in the cases ofaIl boards from
which no response is received prior to
May 1, it will be assumed that they
find it impracticable to check the
lists. .....

He was a pitiful sight, that huddled
heap that was a queer mixture of man
and boy man. old lu appearance,
young lu years. The eighteen months
In the service of his country had
wrecked his hetitih, robbed him of hU
strength, and left him bitter, sullen,
discouraged. The two girls coming up
the stairs paused at his door and
glanced In.
"Not now, Peggy dear, a little later.
He Isn't very cheerftil, and In fact he's
very rude to strangers. Don't bother
now, tome to my room."
"Help yourself, Peggy darling, and
tell me about everything! It's so long
since we left college It seems there
must be loads to tell 1"
"Rut, Olive dear, I want to know
about that poor brother of yours first.
Tell me he Isn't crippled for Ufa, Is

"No one knows. He was gassed,
you know, and that thrupnel wound In
his back Is the cause of bis paralysis;
and we've had doctors and doctors and
they shake thvlr learned heads and
charge outrageous fees and suggest
numerous costly operations which
may help a little. It's very discour
aging. Peggy stared out of the window, un
seelngly. It had disturbed her strange
ly. "I wonder," she mused, "If I could
not help him a little.
Her Mend nodded absently. "Go
to It. I'm quite resigned to anything."
She pulled up a hnssock and sat by
the side of the sick man.
"Ralph Lynch, you don't know roe,
but I'm Peggy Stuart, and you're go

gleam enine Into the eyes of the In
valid. "I don't like sunshine. Plense
pull the curtuln down asnln."
"No, sir. sunshine's good for you,
nnd besides I want to look at you."
Ralph puffed at bis pipe In con
fusion. "What a handsome pipe! Did yon
color It yourself? How long did It
take you? Dad would give his right
hand for a pipe like Unit."
"Please go. I'm very tired, and I do
not feel like talking."
Instantly she was all contrition.
"You poor dear boy, you shan't talk If
you don't want to. I'll play you to
sleep." She placed a fresh pillow be
hind his back and tucked the robe
more comfortably about his emaclnted
figure.
Peggy then seated herself at the
plnno. and played softly, dreamily,
beautifully, and In a few moments
Ralph Lynch was asleep, for the first
time In manv days, sleeping dreamless
ly, without the aid of drugs. The girl
continued to play while she planned a
sort of campaign for Ralph Lynch. He
slept three hours nnd a half, and
awoke refreshed and feeling better than
he had for weeks. Peggy was there,
sitting by the fire, the rosy light play
ing on her bewltehingly. For a full
minute the man watched her before
she discovered he was awake.
"Well, It's about time! Yon old
sleepyhead, you ! Supper Is over long
ago, and yours Is cold as Ice!"
"I don't believe I care for Jt. any
way . . ." he began, but she had
gone, to return In a few moments
wheeling a tea table daintily set. Re
fore he realized It he was eating. All
the while the girl nibbled at eating,
chattering like a magpie.
"Joe Spencer and Tom Hertford are
coming at eight, and you must be fixed
up a bit before they come."

"Yes, I know. They were your
chums before you went to France. I
asked them."
Presently she removed the tea table
and made no comment on the splendid
supper he had eaten, but took It as
a matter of course. Ten minutes la
ter he was eagerly waiting for Ills
chums and when they came. his eyes
sparkled and he held out his bony
ha ml In cordial welcome. The two
young fellows were astonished, for
only last week he hud refused to see
them, had bitterly r.ulked In his chair.
"Don't betray the fact you are sur
prised. Just act as If nothing had
ever happened." warned Peggy, and
she left them. At quarter to nine she
came In and announced It was time for
all decent visitors to go home, oc If
they didn't care to go home they would
find Olive In the library.
"It's time for bed. now. Bud, old
top," she whispered, and called the
butler. "Good night. I'll see you In
the morning!"
Ralph slept better that night. The
next day Peggy kept him busy
and occupied. A new doctor was sum
moned, and he pronounced In solemn
tones that an operation would be nec
essary before the boy could walk, but
he was confident the operation would
be a s1".. cess.
"He needs to be built up a bit first.
And so 5he building up of Ralph pro
ceeded, and Peggy's two weeks' visit
'engthened into two mouths.
The operation was a success, and
Ralph, wan and pale, but with a new
light In his eyes, received Peggy a
few days afterward in his hospital
room. "Peggy, dear, I'm going to walk
ugaln soon. I'm going to be well, and
Peggy I m going to go to work and
jam u home, a real home, and, oh,
Peggy, do you suppose you'd . .
Peggy's eyes filled suddenly.
"Ralph, old timer, I don't suppose
anything about !t! I know!"
