SOLIDER BONUS !
* AS PASSED BY HOUSE
Designed to Give Youth Who Served
In War a Fresh Start In
Economic Struggle.
Washington, June 15.—By an over
whelming three to one Vote the Re
publican House lias registered its ap
proval of a cash bonus to the soldiers
of the war against Germany as part
compensation for the woes they en
dured for the country during the
struggle.
Representative Reseoe McCulloch,of
Ohio, thus summed up the case for the
soldiers:
“The American soldier not only
made the supreme sacrifice, left his
business, and the opportunities for
personal advancement he had in pros
pect and that the emergency offered,
but he paid his own way largely. The
soldier knows what few people realize,
and that is that after he had taken
care of the demands that were made
upon him he had very little left out of
the $30 a month pay. The allotments
for his dependents were taken out of
his pay, his war-risk insurance pre
miums were taken out of his pay, so
that at the end of the month the
average soldier did not have much left.
“The absolute necessity for reducing
appropriations and strict national
economy is apparent to everybody, but
we should not begin on the American
soldier, because we have been very
lavish and very lib*al in making ap
propriations for the purpose of taking
•are of other interests. We appro
priated millions of dollars to validify
incomplete contracts. We appropria
ted millions of dollars for the relief
of peoples in foreign countrmu. There
seemed to be no limit to the demands
and no hesitancy in responding to the
demands for lavish appropriations.
Everybody seemed to be protected in
a martial way who had anything to
do with the war except the Amerioan
soldier, aid I am in favor of adjusting
his. compensation by providing a
bonus, and I think it should be done
Without quibbling and without delay.
We spent billions of dollars uselessly
for which the Government received no
adequate rctu*a. The floodgates were
thrown down and a golden stream was
allowed to flow away. Members of
Congress were called upon to support
bills making these lavish appropria
tions under the lash of the Executive
whip and in the name of patriotism.
Now, We have a chance to do some
thing for the rosl f .itriots who served1
and suffered and bore the brunt of the
war.
“The provisions of this bill may help
to give thousands of soldiers a start.
Some may not need it or want it, but
all are entitled to it, and I trust that |
the bill will pass and become a law
without delay.’
Representative Frear, of Wisconsin,!
one of the members of the Ways and
Means Committee, which reported the
bill said:
“We have worked upon these bills as
a committee faithfully. We have re
ported this ball and have been waiting
to be heard for two or three weeks.
Wc secured what we believe is the
best bill that we can get out of the
committee. I would like to have had
it different, but it iis far better than if
the bill had been burdened with a sales
tax, as was first proposed. It pro
vides what? First, a method of. tax
ation covering a period of three years.
Which reaches expensive cigars, with
an increase of 15 per cent on certain
tobacco. It exacts $5 on every $1,000
of all real estate transfers. It reaches
incomes of over $26,000, and adds to
tihe present rate 3 per cent with a
small increase below that amount It
does not touch widows and orphans
or the average man, because they are
not engaged in stock gambling, which
it also affects. It reaches members
nf r'nncmiaa 'MrifVt a email IrifTPASPll t.flY
and it is right that thfey should be
reached, and what is it all for? To
provide some little recognition for the
boys who were in the service, whom
you gentlemen sent to war. You
took them away from their homes
all over this country. You broke up
thousands and hundreds of thousands
of homes, and hundreds of thousands
of jobs were lost to these men by your
action \vhen you sent them to war.”
TIMELY ADVICE.
South Charleston Sentinal: Our
best thought for the day is for every
school girl to take a course in domestic
science. You may think when mar
ried you will keep a couple of maids—
but you won’t.

obstacles you passage tootle him with

Straight talk on Cream Separators by
WARNER & SONS
O’Neill, Nebr.
USERS of De Laval Cream Separators have
carried away every first prize awarded at
conventions of the National Creamery But
termakers’ Association since their first meeting in
1892. The record is unbroken!
The reason is that De Laval bowi design,
together with lew speed, enables the delivery of
butter-fat globules unbroken and in their natural
condition—thus insuring better butter.
Because of its close skimming the De Laval
produ?PI more cream, which means more butter.
Thus the user of a De Laval Separator gets
both more and better butter.

The Frenchman was all smiles.
“Ah!” he exclaimed, “I must em

“But why should you wish to em-,

hotel keeper. “I do not understand.”!
“Look at zees bill!”
“Yes, your receipted bill. What of
it?”
“What of it? Simple zees, saire, it
means zat I shall nevaire, no nevaire,
see you again.”
HOW THE FIGHT BEGAN.
Dfeheveled and weary, the stout
gentleman sank gasping on a seat in
the railway station and glared at the
rear end of the train he had just
missed. To him came the pompous,
fussy station master.
“Were you trying to catch that
train, sir?" he asked.
The panting, would-be passenger
eyed him balefully for a second before
he hissed in reply:
“Oh, no! I merely wished to chase

What a lot of argument there used
to be about a woman driving an
i automobile

TODAY she can “make a
train” or fix a tire as well
as anybody.
As soon as a luxury becomes
a necessity the point of view
changes.

Two or three years ago you
would have listened to more
varying opinions about tires
than you could shake a stick
at. Mileages, construction,
treads and whatnot.
It’s different now. Tire users
are working towards a unani
mous feeling.
* You express it one way—
the man down the street
another. But sifted down it
amounts to this:
That the only way to settle
'
your tire problem is to get a tire
of known value and stick to it.
Ill
We-recommend and sell
U. S. Tires because their value
is known.
There’s no guess about it.
It was the U. S. quality
policy which led to the per
fection of the straight-side
automobile tire, the pneumatic
truck tire—two of the greatest
additions to tire value that
have ever been made.
As representatives of the
oldest and largest rubber con
cern in the world, we are in a

about tire values. Come in
some day and talk to us.
