DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1921. f

WAS BUSY MAN IN HOSPITALS Commander of Wyoming Departmant Spent Many Montha in Kansas ano Connecticut Institutiona. Although he was forty-nine years old at the start of the World war, Dr. M. A. Newell

of Sheridan, Wyo., i commander of tlie ( Wyoming department of the Amer- 1 lean Legion, entered the service 1 und spent many busy montha in Kansas and Connecticut hospitals. Dr. Newell was born In Saratoga county, N. Y„ and received his early education tn the

ij&K a BMB

public schools and in Saratoga academy. He was graduated from the college of physicians and surgeons, medical department, Columbia university, In 1890, when he moved to Wyoming. Dr. Newell has served on the staffs of a number of governors of his state and was at one time assistant surgeon general of Wyoming. He entered the service in August, 1918, and served at the M. O. T. C., Fort Riley, Kan., and at U. S. General hospital, No. 16, at New Haven, Conn. He was one of the organizers of the Donald Garbutt post of Sheridan and was elected department commander in August, 1919. IN DEFENSE OF THE FARMERS Statement That Agriculturists Turn Backs on ex-Service Men Is Attacked by Writers. A statement that the farmers of this country gained considerably as u rej suit of the World war and now turn their backs on ex-service men has been challenged by numerous writers. The following is a good statement I of the fanners’ case, as one correI spondent outlines It: “Sixty years of my life had rolled away when this country entered the war. I had four boys and they certainly all wore breeches, but none of ' them claimed exemption. Three of them enlisted shortly after war was declared. The youngest was a boy of I eighteen. Myself, one of the boys, and my sixteen-year-old daughter were left to conduct a farm of more than 300 acres, and we had to work from 16 to 18 hours every day. If we hired any help we bad to pay munition plant wages for an eight-hour day, and If we had any surplus cash, the Y. M. C. A., the Red Cross, Jewish f Welfare Board, Salvation Army and j other meritorious war agencies absoibed it. I know that other farmers in this section were in the same condition. I also know’ that the states which have paid their ex-soldiers bonuses to date are almost exclusivej ly agricultural.” WHY SCRUGGS WAS HONORED Texas ex-Doughboy Is Made State Adjutant Because He Attended Every Legion Convention. Because Charles W. Scruggs of Dallas, Tex., attended every state and na-

I B * » < ■

tional convention of the American Legion, he was rewarded with the ' strenuous job of adjutant, of the Texas department. Mr. Scruggs en- • listed as a private in the Thirtysixth division early in the war, .< and served with < that unit in Amer- j

ica and France. I He was discharged as a sergeant at | Camp Bowie, Tex., March 1, 1919. Mr. I Scruggs attended the University of I Texas and then taught school two years. At the outbreak of the war he was a reporter on a Texas newspaper. — Convicts in Olive Drab Uniforms. A protest against the wearing of the olive drab United States service uniform by prisoners of the Monroe State Reformatory at Monroe, Wash., has been made by Thomas N. Swale, commander of the Washington department of the American Legion, who with a committee of Legionnaires visited that institution. Representatives of the bureau of War Bisk Insurance and the federal board for Vocational Education joined with the Legion members in the protest to the state officials. Shortage of funds and the low cost of the uniforms were responsible for their adoption as the official prison garb, according to state officials. It is believed that the prison officials will adopt some other uni-| form for the convicts. States O. K. Five-Fold Plan The state legislatures of North Dakota, " Oregon and Minnesota have adopted resolutions urging that con-1 gress pass the Fordney bill, which em-1 bodies the five-fold compensation plan of the American Legion. The action of the North Dakota legislators is especially noteworthy in that their state has already awarded each veteran a flat bonus of $25 a month of service, the largest state bonus to be granted. Legion Athletes in Training. American Legion athletes keep In I training in many parts of. the world by competing in all branches of sports.! The •polo team of Kauai- Post No. 2, Department of Hawaii, has been the victor in contests with a number of regular army teams. 1

New York, March 23. —Jack Demp- : sey probably will be signed to an 1 agreement today to fight Georges < Carpentier for 30 per cent, of the 1 gross receipts.

; * —> c M. P.’s SO POOR THEY t MUST STRAP-HANG , ♦— ♦ a London.—(By Mail to United Press) ■ —A member of parliament’s life is e not a happy one. In fact, various- M. P.'s gathered t th3msel,ves together into a select r committee in order to prove just how unhappy a life they led. The t general grievance of these men who J I represent constituencies is the same s as that of the men who represent I nothing—lack of cash. The salary of a member of parliament is 400 pounds a year—or about $1,600. which, it is t claimed, does not lift them “above tlte ordinary worries of the kitehen.' t M. P.'s pointed out that their incomes only permitted them to travel I i third-class on the railways and thej I — » I

compared themselves to ‘ Varan of the Apes" on account of the invariable and unnecessary exercise they got "strap-hanging" in the crowded trains each day. The upshot of the whole investigation was that the following recomniendtions are to be made: No change in M. P.’s salaries, but that the 400 pounds should bo regarded as expenses and therefore not subject to income tax, which is very heavy in England. That M. P.’s should have free ftrstdass travel between London and their constituencies. Free postage on parliamentary letters. This probably constitutes the most human document that has ever appeared in the guise of a white paper. " 1 " "" "
