DONOHOE. FORMER CHAMBERS SOLDIER OF THE WORLD WAR RECEIVES COMPENSATION (Norfolk News.) Oakdale, Neb., May 20: It has been recently ascertained that through the efforts of the local American Legion post Elmer V. Lundstrum, disabled vetei’an of the World war, has been granted compensation and hospital ization. A check for $800 back com pensation was recently received by N. O. Lundstrum, guardian of the dis abled man, from the veterans’ bureau. The compensation was fixed at $80 per month. At present the veteran is at the national soldiers’ home at Mar ion, Ind., where he was sent about a year ago. The history of the case of the dis abled veteran has brought to light one of the greatest mistakes the gov ernment has made in handling its veterans of the late war who returned apparently sound of mind and body but who were later afflicted. Dis charged as physically fit, Elmer Lundstrum returned to his home, then at Chambers, Holt County, Ne braska. Soon it was noticed by the family that the boy did not, appear rational at times, but since nothing serious appeared it was deemed best' not to bring the matter to the atten tion of government officials. In fol lowing this policy the family made the mistake of letting time pass from their grasp and soon it was too late to connect the condition of the veteran with his army service. Something over a year ago the family moved to Oakdale, where it was brought to the attention of the American Legion that Lundstrum was seriously affected by his past experiences in the army. An investigation was made and the man taken to Omaha by the American Le gion attendant where veterans’ bureau official advised placing him in an in sane asylum. Upon demands of the Legion man, Lundstrum was sent to St. Louis for examination and later to Marion, Ind., and the battle to con nect the army service with the condi tion of the veteran began. The local Legion post brought the matter forci bly to the attention of the Omaha office of the veterans’ bureau and one of the officers was summoned to Oak dale where investigation of conditions was begun. Affidavits were secured and rejected several times before finally the case was settled as stated above. The continued fight of the Le gion men here won the battle and to day l undstrum is receiving the best of care. Lundstrum was shell shocked and showed marks of gas burns upon his bodv. These continually preyed up on his mind until the break came that made him a total wreck. Statistics show that many such cooes are com ing to light daily but; un 'or the Sweet bill, the government is v werless to act until innumerable afi’ ’ ’vits have been secured. The time limit of the Sweet bill should be extended to cover such cases without the red tape neces sary at present, legion men say. TWENTY-NINE PRESIDENTS. • We have had twenty-nine presidents in this country and a close examina tion of the authentic records as to their descent shows that of the total, sixteen have been of English descent, with those of Scotch, Scotch-Irish and Scotch-Dutch (one) coming next with eight.

It will be the only showing of this film in this town. This is a picture which, for daring and plain talking, has seldom been equalled, especially when it is con sidered that the delicate subject of sex hygiene is handled in so sympathetic and inoffensive a way as to remove all objection from even the prudes, and to win the commendation' of health officials all over the United States. “Some Wild Oats’’ is a film that should be seen by everybody. It is a film that bares the dangers and snares that beset young men and young wo men who stand on the threshold of life, with everything to learn and no experience to guide them. The picture has an all-star cast, featuring William Jefferson. While the pictuie is entertaining and in structive in a way, yet it is called the most daring and sensational motion picture yet attempted. The picture deals with the miser able, and often fatal, effects resulting from a chance acquaintance of men and women on the streets of New York City, or any other city, and drives home its lessons by showing the ad ventures of a green farm boy who comes to New York to take his last fling before joining the navy. A friend, who has trodden the primrose path before him and partaken of the bitter fruits, saves him from any real harm by a ruse—but that is another story that the film must tell itself. Many scenes of New York life are shown, including widely known dance halls, resorts and cabarets along Broadway. Owing to the delicate nature of the subject and the plain speaking in the sub-titles, it has been thought best to segregate the audiences. MARRIAGE LICENSES.

SOCIAL REELS AND SHt»W$ FOR Ail §A l^^Thursday, May 29 Evening at 7 and 9 RoyalTheatre _ Admission 60c entirely taken care of by pledges. The building is an unusually fine edifice for a town of the population of Chambers and was erected at a very low cost for such a splendid building, 'ihc building is not entirely new but has the appearance of a new structure. Last year it was decided that the one roomed frame building the church occupied was not large enough to adeouately meet the needs of the church and it was decided to build an addition to the church. At about this time it was decided that the old school building with an acre of ground sur rounding it should be sold. The church purchased this property when it was put up for sale. The church was then moved from its former location to the school grounds and the school was moved to the east side of the church ui.d a basement put under the entire bo lding. The former auditorium of the church was extended nine feet Then an entrance and belfry was built on the front. The east wing will be used as an Epworth League room and for Sunday school work. Between the Epworth League room and the main auditorium are folding doors which permit both rooms to be opened into one large auditorium. In the base ment will be a kitchen and a large dining and reception room, and a cloak room. A new furnace has been installed in the basement. The edifice has been finished with new material in the interior work. Beautiful stained glass windows have been installed. In the front of the building is a large circle top window containing a reproduction of Hoff man's famous picture “Christ in the Temple.” In the east wing of the building is a tripple window, the center window of which contains a; cross and crown emblems. A tran som window with the name of the church has been put over the doors of tht. main entrance. Altogether the building presents a most attractive appearance and is much admired by all who see it. The building has been erected and 1 lnnned by a committee composed of Mrs. R. J. Graves, F. R. Davis, Leo T. Adams, Mrs. C. W. Robertson, J. A. U, Woods and the pastor, the Rev. Richard E. Carlyon. Noble Wicklund was the carpenter in charge. The services Sunday were much en joyed by those who attended. The Rev. George W. Isham, D. D., of Omaha, prei died at morning and evening services and Rev. E. D. Hull, I . D., District Superintendent of the Norfolk District preched at the after noon service. Dr. Isham had charge of the raising of the finances. The dedicatory service was read by Dr. Isham, assisted by Dr. Hull and Rev. Cl ’yon. The chorus choir sang selections at each service and the u.ale quartette sang at the evening hour of worship. Another musical i.umber was the duet “Love Divine” sung by Mrs. Tibbitts and Rev. Carl yon.
