■'I'll struggle with you, Tom, but,
when you go I want to go too," said
Mrs. Bowers to her husband, when he
became ill the early part of last wreck.
Day and night Mrs. Bowers nursed
her husband. She refused help. “I
have taken care of him for more than
a half a century and I won't quit
now,” she told those who came to help
her.
She failed to appreciate that she
did not have tlie energy that she had
when she married Tom, a young far

soil of what was then termed Iowa
"waste land."
Her 71 years told on her and on
Thursday she suffered a breakdown

| Support to Bonus
for Ex-Soldiers
President Informs Veterans
He Will Baek Measure if
Means of Financing
Can Be Found.
Cincinnati, Pec. 18.—A direct mes
sage from President Harding pledging
his support to a bonus for former
service men providing a feasible
means of finaneing the burden can
l>e found, was presented by Col. C. H.
Forbes, director of the veterans’ bu
reau at Washington, before a joint
conference of national and state ex
ecutives of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars Sunday.
In the conference were the mem
bers of the national council of ad
ministration and the department
commanders of the veterans' organiza
tion. Immediately following Col.
Forbes' address and a discussion
which resulted In strong approval of
; a sales tax, the executives unanimous
ly adopted a resolution endorsing a
sales tax with foodstuffs exempted, as
| a mean9 of raising the necessary
I revenue to finance the bonus.
C. Hamilton Cook. Buffalo, na
tional commander of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World
War, who was attending the confer
ence by invitation, said that his or
ganization would take immediate ac
tion to support the resolution. '
The American Legion, which Is the
largest of the veterans' organizations,
was not represented at tho meeting.
Col. Forbes called President Hard
ing by long distance telephone shortly
before going into the conference and
in the course of his address, referred
to his conversation with the presi
dent.
"I called him up because it was
suggested to me that the bonus might
be touched upon," he said. "I wish
you knew the pulse of Harding. I
wish you knew his innermost
thoughts. I wish you knew how he
loves the ex-service men.”
Most of the conference was devot
ed to an executive session at which
matters of policy were discussed. The
address of Col. Forbes, however, was
open to the public. Col. Forbes left
for Washington tonight. The execu
tive hoard of the organization will
wind up the two days’ conference with
an executive session Monday.
