It is very important mat tne reur ganization shall be completed in the near future as there is much work the federal government is constantly calling upon the legion to perform "for the ex-service man.

Add ABBEVILLE, S. < ;an help by attending the meeting tomorrow afternoon. Publicity Chairman. The Bonus Again. The following is Commander Mac aider's interpretation of the bonus question: The. American Legion feels that opposition to the adjusted Compen sation Bill lies principally in ignor ance of what the bill really calls for. We have yet to meet the man who has read the bill who opposes it. A brief study of this legislation appears in nearly every case to be a very happy antidote for the hue and cry raised ^against the cash bonus, principally by people who have not taken the trouble to in vestigate what they object to. There is a cash option, it is true, but it is taken care of hy small payments several months apart. The other four features of the Legion bill include home and farm aid, paid up insurance, vocational co training and land settlement. We to believe ourselves (that they are more advatageous to the veteran if he can afford to take advantage of them, and we believe that the ma jority of men affected will choose the feature most helpful to them, j ri< but with hundreds of thousands of re jervice men walking the streets of to to fr se tu mi to sa mi an da ur W G0< sady with a store Ladies, Oxfords and )DS and SILKS hite Homespun, regular 15c 10c. yd. ig, 60c quality, Spe 39c. yd. lam in short lengths at 10c. yd. ks, 36 inches wide, best fcctly in few washings, just ar 10c yd. iches wide, good for dresses 15c. yd.

When it was a matter of passing e Dent act to pay for war con acts never fulfilled, some $3,000, )0,000, more than this act would st if every man takes the cash ijrments of $50 every three onths, there was no such hue and y. Was the manufacturers' ser ce to the country so much more itriotic that no one could question ? It was an obligation and it was lid. These men should have some ljustment in compensation as ;ainst the men who did not have go and whose wages increased om five to ten times that of the rvice man. The man at home had the oppor nity to intrench himself in-a pef anent position, and whether he ok advantage of it or not, to ve and fortify himself for such nditions as encounter the veteran day. You would not take one or two en equally paid in your employ id send one out on a particularly mgerous mission, which he gladly idertakes out of his loyalty to you skig his life, leaving his family, ady to encounter any difficulties) serve you, dnd meanwhile multi > DI (HOT HI ^ Y S 0 OPS full of Bargains for Men, Worn* I as usual our p EXTRA S One lot of Men's Shirts ma Madras, with or without Men's Extra Good Quality I Socks, Special One lot of Men's and Ladies One lot of Ladies' Hose, Bla Ladies' Silk Hose, aii colors One Qood Broom, sold for !

Of course you wouldn't even if you hadn't promised him that you'd see he got a square deal when he returned. Yet that is what th? opponent of that Adjusted Compensation Bill ia asking the United States to do. It is not a question of sentiment of paying for a man's service or his patriotism, (because no man can put a price on that, nor can any man pay for it. It is an insult even to suggest it. But there is no reason for penalizing the man for offering his life to his country n dangerous days?and there is every reason foi giving him a square deal. You will be interested to kno-w that those men who dictate the af fairs of the Federal Reserve Bank of the Chicago District are in great majority unqualified for this meas ure. They must be given credit foi a fairly clear vision of economic and financial conditions in the part of the United States most affected by depression.
