FEB. 10, 1922. THE SOUTHWEST MAIL AND THE WEEKLY POST PAGE FIVE CANNON SCORES THOSE OPPOSED TO BONUS BILL Declares Acting and Talking Not Enough--Asserts Economical Problem is Slight. Kansas City, Feb. the people of this nation say to the boys who stopped the Prussian guard at Chateau Thierry that their services to their country and to civilization on that day were not worth the pay given a common laborer on the streets of Kansas City?" With these words, Jack Cannon, speaking for the American Legion, began the close of his argument in favor of the Legion's five-fold ad'justed compensation bill now before the ways and means committee of the house of representatives in Washington in a speech yesterday at the luncheon of the Blue Valley Manufacturers' and Business Men's Club in the Masonic Temple, Peery and Belmont avenues.

At the close of the address a motion was made by Dr. R. Callaghan that a committee be appointed to draft a resolution to the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce recommending favorable action in its report to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States on the referendum now being, taken by the national body on the pending compensation act. "You can't pay for military risks and valor and patriotism," Mr. Cannon said.

"Neither did the boys when the Hindenburg line think of pay or they faced the hazards of the sea taxation. "But if we now refuse to adjust the economic difference which exists as la result of the $1 a day the soldier received and from $5 to $15 a day the workman at home received, we, ought to pull down the Stars and Stripes and run up the yellow flag. "The people who say they will give the ex-service man what is his due and indefinitely defer that justice talk like Theodore Roosevelt and act like Shylock. The senate finance mittee has gone on record as saying deferred payment can be made without disrupting finances or materially increasing taxation. Many of these men had served for more than six years on this committee.

Secretary Mellon went before them to oppose the bill when he had been in office three months. "We have paid the munition manufacutrers $15,000,000,000 for material with which we fought our battles. Now in the next decade when we meet this sum by taxation shall ave deny the service men the 000,000 which would be required if all the boys took cash instead of land, money for home building, vocational training or insurance which they may have under this bill?" In presenting his motion in favor of the compensation act, Dr. Callaghan said he believed if all those who now oppose the bill would investo gate the Legion's arguments and realize that cash payments will probably be the smallest part of the outlay, and that most of the expenditure will go into productive lines, he did not believe a single person or organization would report against the bill. TEACHERS ATTEND BANQUET.

Among those who went to Moundville Monday to attend the meeting were three of Nevada's city school teachers, and members of the Rebekahs, Miss Ethel Winders, N. Mrs Mary Schuman, chaplain, and Mrs. Francis Inwood, conductor. They motored home with those who went from here earlier in the day. A banquet was served after the meeting, 112 plates being laid.

MRS. J. E. WELTMER LOSES 2 BROTHERS IN ONE MONTH Mrs. J.

E. Weltmer received the sad news last evening of the death of her brother, J. F. Noble, at Fairfax, which occurred yesterday. Death was the result of an attack of pneumonia.

By a strange and sad coincidence, another brother of Mrs. Weltmer, M. E. Noble of St. Joseph, away just a month ago, his death occurring January 8th, and resulting from the same malady, FOR SALE.

Now that the Weltmer Institute, working under the direct supervision of Professor Weltmer, has been putting his new plans into execution, it has been found necessary to separate the different departments and to seek larger quarters for the operation of the publicity and correspondence departments. This serves two purposes. It gives plenty of space for the stenographers and mail order business, and also makes more room in the main building which is devoted to sanitarium purposes. The publicity department now occupies the second floor in the building above the Mattox Supply Company and is under the control of Mr. A.

P. Robyn, who brings to the institution a broad experience and a record of achievement in the mail order business. He has been in close association with propositions similar to the Weltmer Institute, and has, in addition, the advantage of a very close association with several of large advertising agencies in the United States. It is Professor Weltmer's plan, as the Institute grows, to surround himself with men who have a record of having "done things," and this will be a great help to him in a rapidly growing business. The room now occupied by the new departments, it is interesting to note, is the same room in which Professor Weltmer taught his first classes, twenty-five years ago and which was made up principally of citizens of Nevada.

It was in this same room that the beginning of this work of teaching and distributing his philosophy was made. From the rapid increase in the business, due to enlarged mailingouts and from increased advertising, the Institute expects that this space will shortly become cramped, when it will take the 'rooms on the other side of the building. Then, of course, will come up the matter of a building devoted exclusively to this, department of the business. Citizens of Nevada are invited to drop in and see the new offices.

Dear Friend: I have noted the action of the Democratic County Committee in indorsing you as a candidate for Congress from the 15th district. It goes without saying that a Democrat will be elected in that district this fall.

Certainly you have a record that entitles you to the conof the voters. I recall with great pleasure your record in the Legislature during my administration. I found that you were always glad, willing and able to do things which were best for the interest of the people of the state, and so far as I can now recall I never asked you to assist me in the passage of a single matter before the Legislature, in which, you did not gladly acquiesce. Fathfully your friend, (Signed) Frederick D. Gardner.

FARM HOME For "because it is a Ford" means dependability, ease of operation, efficiency--and it means sure, quick transportation. And "because it is a Ford" means good taste, pride of ownership and genuine Common Sense. The Ford Sedan, a closed car of distinction, beauty and convenience, is the ideal all year 'round car, for pleasure or business- for the farm, town or city. It gives you all that any car can give at a much lower cost for operation and maintenance. Ford Cars of all types are in great demand, so place your order at once if you wish to avoid delay in delivery.

MOSS URNER S. IN FIRST MOVE TO OBET PARLEY EDICTS Washington, Feb. partments of the government took steps yesterday toward carrying out the edicts of the armament conference. The American delegation to the conference worked on its report to President Harding and leaders in the senate began marshalling their forces for the fight on ratification of the treaties. Announcement was made during the day that the president had ordered discontinued all work on additional fortifications on the of Guam and in the Philippine Islands, thus taking note of the clause in the naval treaty which fixes a status quo for these Pacific islands.

The president, it was stated at the White House, also would order suspended all work on naval craft now building which are designated for the scrap heap under the five-power treaty. The final order to discontinue, such construction, however, will not be issued until the treaty is ratified, it was said. Secretary Weeks, in furtherance of the president's order regarding the Philippines, cancelled the orders for sending new guns to replace those in the fortifications there. Secretary Denby also announced that some military equipment, including mines, destined for Guam, had been ordered returned. Discussing his action, Secretary Weeks said the orders 1 had been cancelled as an evidence of the good faith of this country to carry out in spirit and letter the provisions of the naval treaty respecting the fortifications of Pacific islands.
