Pioneer Grape Grower Unfortunately"
Was Not Satisfied . With First
Really Excellent Results.
A hundred years ago Dr. C. W.
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. ,

All beginnings arc hard enough In n

The passage of soldier bonus bills In

appeared recently In the American Le

"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.

FIVE BILLS I? 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.
