Grant bought a small, rock-ribbed Island In the Hudson river nearly op posite Pceksklll. There was a general lough at what people declared to be his folly, as the'Islund wns so barren and worthless thnt It did not scout pos sible for nnythlng to grow there. Dr. Grant, however, had Ideas of his own, nnd ho began a growth of grapes of the then new variety, the Delaware. In a very short time the Island wns known to grape growers nil over tho country, nnd Doctor Grant wns de clared to have done more for grnpo culture than uny other raun In Amer ica. Tho grent business enjoyed by the physician turned his head, and he be gan to work toward a scheme that would turn the Island Into a paradise of growing flowers, especially mng uollas and rhododendrons, nnd ho hoped to give seed or cuttings to every homo In America. The result of his attempts was bankruptcy, and he left the Island, which soon went back to rock nnd bnrren soil. , A strong tnun without confidence it weak.

The passage of soldier bonus bills In New York, New Jersey, Washington and South Dakota by overwhelming mnjorltles nt tho November elections Is unquestionable proof of the public's recognition of veterans' claims, Is the opinion advunccd In an editorial which appeared recently In the American Le gion Weekly. "One-fourth of the five million men who served In tho army and navy live In states which have shown their sense of Justice by awarding compensation," the writer says. "Three-fourths of the veterans of the World war llvo In thirty-six states which havo not faced the Issue in most of them because there hnve been no recent sessions of state legislatures. "The United Stntes senate will soon pass on the question of national com pensation for World war veterans. Facing them squnrely Is the Fordncy bill, adopted by tho lower house. This bill will raccf"every test of Justice. It Is In accord with the sentiment of the pcoplo of the country as attested by the stato bonus elections. Its passage by the sennte will mark the fulfillment of a national obligation. Tho state bo nuses are the expressions of a desire by the pcoplo to glvo a 6qunro deal.

TO CONGRESS Legion Legislative Committee Is Press ing Passage of Measures Important to World War Men. Five bills ore being pressed by the legislative committee of tho American Legion at tho present session of con gress. Foremost nmong those In pub lic Interest Is tho Fordncy bill, that pro vides adjusted compensation for all ex scrvlco men, but more Important In tho eyes of Legion men are tho Watson bill, tho Itogers bill, tho Stevenson bill nnd n sundry appropriation bill allow ing $10,000,000 for hospital construc tion. The Fordncy, or "bonus-" bill, panned the houso In tho Inst days of tho Inst session of tho Sixty-sixth congress. It then was rcfeircd to the senate finance committee, of which Senator Boies I'enroso of Pennsylvania Is chairman. Assurances were given that early hear ings would be held on tho bill. The Fordncy bill, as It stands now, provides a cash payment for all vet erans up to und Including the grade of captain, of one dollar a day for each day of homo frervlce, and $1.25 a day for foreign service, with n limit of $500 and $025, respectively. Or, tho option of the Kiime amount, plus 40 per cent If taken In the form of government cer tificates, assistance In the purchaso of a home 'or arm or vocational training. Tho Fordney bill, however, will bo suboidluated to the other four pet Legion measures, all of which aim at the Improvement of tho condition of tho disabled. In this the legislative committee Is following the mnndnto of tho second national Legion conven tion, which went on record that "mat ters for the benefit of the sick hnd dis abled are of first importance nnd nro to be given preference, over all oth er legislation affecting tho wclfnro of tho service men." Tho Wason bill provides for 14 re gional branches of the bureau of war risk Insurance, us mnny sub-olllces as mny be necessary, and would make It possible for cx-scrvico men to pay their government Insurance premiums nt any post office. It relieves from tho payment of premiums disabled men In hospltnls or taking vocational train ing nnd men temporarily disabled. It extends tho time In which ex-servlco men may npply for hospitalization. It Is a bill that would Improve tho effi ciency of the war risk burcnu and would glvo Justice to the disabled. Tho Watson bill passed the house unani mously at tho last session. It then was referred to a sub-commlttco of the senate finance committee. Tho Rogera bill represents tho efforts of the American Legion to obtain co operation between the bureaus func tioning for the benefit of disabled ex- service men. It provides for the trans fer of the rehabilitation section of the federal board of vocational training and of the public health service to the Jurisdiction of tho war risk bureau. ThO plan Is to have all the bureaus un der one directing and responsible head, preferably a now cabinet officer. Tho Stevenson bill would establish the same privilege of retirement for disabled officers of the emergency forces' as Is now enjoyed by officers of the regular array, a privilege already accorded by congress to emergency of ficers ot, tho navy.
