American Legion Notes
"FACTS NOT OflNIONS"
The American Lfsrion will plead it
case for adjusted compensation before
every chamber of commerce in the
country, according to a plan of Han
ford MacNider, national commander.
The Letrion'a object is to obtain a de
cision favorable to compensation in the
nationwide referendum on the subject
which has been called for by the United
States Chamber of Commerce at
Washington. This body went on record
againts compensation at its last an
nual meeting1 and has since wajfed a
bitter fiffht on the Legion's bill, but
there have been no indications that its
attitude has not reflected faithfully the
stand of many of its individual mem
bers. Chambers in such important
cities as Cleveland, Ohio; Seattle,
Washington; Portland Ore; and some
twenty others have openly repudiated
the proposition of the national organ
ization and have adopted resolutions
supporting compensation.
That the Legion's attitude has been
befogged by opponents of the measure
is charged in a letter from MacNider
to the president of the federal chamber
copies of which have been distributed
to every post. MacNider claims that
& mistaken idea of the bill has been
ppread abroad by the persistent attack
on the "cash bonus" clause, which is
only one of the five propositions for
adjusted compensation. Cash, voca
tional training, paid-up 20-year en
dowment insurance, farm or home aid,
and land settlement are the five op
tional forms, and MacNider contends
that the cash payment wil not be
seized upon by an unreasonable per
centage of ex-service men because it
offers the least actual value of all.
"Our point is that no referendum
can be made fair unless those who
consider the question know what the
immediate issue is," the letter reads.
"We urge that every facility be given
them to understand."
The father of his country would
probably turn in his grave if he
could see the name of one George W.
Washington on the latest draft evader
list sent out by the government. To
corral the more than 100,000 slackers
at large in the United States is a part
of the 1922 program of the American
Log-ion, but it does not promise to be
.an easy task.
Another listed member of the
Bergdoll fraternity is Hoa Hum, who
evidently was too tired or bored to
join up. Charles Kaiser might have
been excused for family reasons, but
3ie didn't even show up before the draft
8oard. Another listed is Sam Browne,
who displayed no desire to wear the
belt.
An especial effort probably will be
put forth to capture one Ton Nik, who
would have added vim and vigor to the
war had he participated. Grover
Cleveland Johnson had more sympathy j p,, jt fully alongside its old
for Bergdoll than he did lor the lata er and better established competitor
president.

helping to prepare the country for de

When the boy scouts of Colome were
cently reorganized, the Colome post
stood sponsor for the troop and took
over the work of drilling their younger
buddies. While the troop has a regu
larly appointed scoutmaster, the le
gion post designates one of its mem
bers to drill the boys and he or an
other member of the post gives them
regular lectures on Americanization
and service to the country.
Walter Byrne of Omaha, former
commander of the Douglas county
post, haa been appointed chairman of
the Nebraska I-egion Americanization
committee by Commander Ritchie. Mr.
Byrno made a good record for himself
as a post commander, and is greatly
interested in the Americanization pro
gram. He is now working on a pro
gram which will arouse interest
throughout the state in this important
phase of the Legion's duty.
Purinton Finds
a Way to Beat
the Hay Marke4
Aurora Register: On Monday last
we had a visit from E. W. Purinton, of
Alliance, who was on the return trip
from Wisconsin where he had been to
buy a carload, 23 head, of high grade
Holstein cows. He had an experience
here. They asked him $1.25 a bale for
hay that sells in his country for $5 a
ton. It looked to him a little high
and he came up town and bought it
at 50c a bale, and hired a man to de
liver it for 10c a bale, getting1 the
whole for lass than half what was
charged him at our stockyards, even
when he paid the retailers' profits, a
special delivery, and bought in a small
amount. It was objected that he had
no right to do anything but pay for
the hay at prices specified, and he said
that if the price had been fixed by the
state officials at that figure, it was
fixed too high. He had done the same
at other points and no objection had
been made to it, and he would feed his
own hay, and if he afterward had to
nav triple price for it he would do so.
He paid an average of $71 for his
Holsteins and said that pure orea year
ling bulls could be bought for $80 to
$150. The Babcock herd had the fin
est animals he ever saw. They are
making money in dairying and cheese
making where hay is $24 a ton, and
he thinks he should be able to do some
thing at one-fifth the figure. He is
a brother of Earl Purinton, who is now
at Sterling, but wa3 formerly a day
operator at Aurora, and whose wife
was Rose Trimpe of his place. They
are doinpr well. He knows the Burr
boys of Alliance well and wanted to
see the Aurora office. He says they
are getting along fine, and that it is
recoenized by all that they have made

Oshkosh Editor
Gives His Opinion
On Road Question
The editor of the Garden county
News, fearless and unafraid, contri
utes the following to the discussion
concerning the relative merits of the
North Star and G-P-C routes, and the
attitude of the state road officials
thereon:
"It would seem to the editor of the
Garden county News from all of this
that the connecting link in the great
highway from the Gulf to the Canad
ian boundary is thus to be held up un
til the spirit moves the state depart
ment to investigate and pass judg
ment upon its true merits. There
never has been but one feasible route
with the backing that wa3 necessary
to put it through. This was side
stepped to a certain extent by the
jealous maneuverings of the North
Star proposition. Now that the North
Star no longer "shines" the Morrill
county commissioners still are tying
to their hopes of a north and south
road through the county seat, regard
less of its merits,'and the information
to the state department heads has had
just enough facts in it to cause them
to bow their necks. If systems con
tained as much respect for fairness as
they are with the dignity of the offices,
they would have given this matter
their attention some time ago. If
Division Engineer Gaddis shaa been
over both routes and still persists in
the Bridgeport route, his head should
be examined."

Legion chiefs of the 4th congres

"hoodoo" day Friday, January 13,
where they held a most successful
meeting and started off in fine style
a series of meetings to take place
throughout the ftate. Over fifty
Legion post commanders and adjutants
were in attendance.
All problems before the Legion in
Ke'n-aska for the coming year were
fully discussed, and state officers and
committee chairman outlined their
respective work. "When I came here
this morning I knew little about the
organization," one commander stated.
"But I am going home with a new
vision and chuck full of information."

Nebraska, was present and made an
interesting talk on the new boxing

working of the new state aid bill.
