Suita SPECIAL MUSIC ADMISSION 75c-SI.OO Plus War Tax. STARTS AT 8 O’CLOCK. IDEAS ARE QUEER Mountaineers Who Served in World War, Suspicious of Government WHICH OFFERED HELP To Disabled Veterans---Thought Only Deeds of Heroes Recognized. Washington, Dec. 15. —“I wasn’t any

hero soldier and didn't get shot, but just got blown up trying to put out a fire in camp.” This statement was made to members of the United States Veterans’ Bureau in Buchanan, Virginia, by a man whose face had nearly been blown away by a gasoline explosion in France. He was surprised that the government should offer him compensation. This displays one type of ignorance which has been met in work for war veterans in the hill country of Virginia and West Virginia. In some sections it was thought that unless a man had been a marked hero or shot in battle that he was not entitled to anything. Investigation in other hill regions show that many exsoldiers are suspicious so the aims of the government. They are wary of the efforts of the War Veterans' Bureau in their behalf, because of a misunderstanding of the government's purpose. The idea prevails according to members of the “Clean-Up Squad” and other agents of the Veterans' Bureau, that the government compensation is either a pension that goes to all men who saw service or a "slick” move on the part of the government to get them back into the army. Those who looked upon the government relief as a pension could not see why one man was getting $8 a month, another sl6 and still another close to SBO. Among some, the efforts of the Veterans’ Burdau were thought to be for the purpose of making a new draft list to get them back into the army, because they were required to make application before the government would give them compensation. In the "moonshine” localities, according to the agents of the Veterans' Bureau there was the fear at first that they might be “revenooers,” Much of this fear has now been overcome. Some thrilling experiences have been reported in the hills of West Virginia by a nurse of the Veterans’ Bureau, who has had to do much of her travelling on horseback and foot, because of the’ lack of transportation facilities. On one occasion she was picked up by a group of men in an automobile who recognized her and offered to "tote” her some six or eight miles. She got in the car and minded j her own business, but she had to rest

her heels high on several demijohns of “corn licker” and had several waits m her trip while deliveries were being made. MONROENEWS All business houses are again open ivery evening until 8 o'clock, begindng last Monday night. Word was received here that the wo year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Frisinger of near Rockford, 0., was seriously ill with meningitis, and whose recovery is doubtful. Mrs. Frisinger was formerly Miss Florence Andrews, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McAndrews of this place. / The Monroe basketball team were at Rockford, 0., Tuesday night and had everything their own way. in a one-sided game, defeating the Ohio team by a score of 87 to 4. The local team will play the Portland high school team next Friday night at Mon roe. The revival meeting at the Methodist church closed Sunday evening after a four weeks meeting. The meetings were full of interest from the beginning and much good was accomplished by Rev. Zechiel, the pastor. Dr. Martin District Superintendent delivered a powerful sermon on Sunday evening, after which communion services and quarterly meeting was held, dosing the sereis of meetings. A large number of the friends and ■elatives surprised P. W. Kessler on lis birthday anniversary last Sunday. I A fine dinner was served and a good social time was had by all present. MR. SHELER ILL. Willaim Sheler, venerable resident if Ninth street, is critically ill at his home, suffering from a complication if diseases, and his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. George Sheler of Elkhart, have been called to his bedside. Mr. Sheler was long employed by the G. R. & I. railroad as a car inspector and was retired on a pension by the company several months ago. He Is well known to many Decatur reople. His recovery from his present illness is improbable. CHILD ALMOST STRANGLED Mrs. G. GraiZ 3116 Washington Avenue, New Orleans, La., writes: “My child had a cough so bad she would almost strangle coughing. Foley’s Honey and Tar relieved her aough, nad I recommend it to any mother.” Foley’s Honey and Tar gets right at the seat of trouble, clears nose and throat of mucus, heals raw ind inflamed surfaces, loosens tightness of the chest and checks croup, bronchial and “flu” coughs.
