Indianapolis counts it a rare privilege to welcome the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic and to do them all honor for their courage and willingness to sacrifice even life itself to save the Union. \ What of the army for which* there is so urgent a call today to fight the “war after the war” against the high cost of living? As in Civil War days, this 1920 army is one of volunteers —of volunteers to spend wisely and save regularly, no matter what their income. Have you enlisted ?

TAGGART’S GOOD TURN MET IN KIND Bridget Nagle Remembers Gallantry of Young Tom. Thomas Taggart, Democratic candidate for United States Senator, learned early in his political. career how sweet It Is to be remembered by helpful and appreciative friends. The story of Bridget Nagle will never grow old, for it Is typically a story which illustrates the mutuality of unselfishness of the brighten Thomas Target's career all along the way. When young Tom Taggart—he was IS* —left Xenia, Ohio, to go to Garret, Ind., to help open an eating house for his employers, he was escort to little Bridget Nagle a pastry cook from Dayton, Ohio, an elderly, friendly body who, as it happened was very thinly clad, and consequently not prepared to withstand the l itter cold of that harsh December time. GIYEB OVERCOAT TO CHILLED WOMAN. At Deschler, Ohio, in a tireless barn at a station, the two were called upon lor a long night wait on a delayed train. Young Taggart Induced the matronly Bridget to try for a nap. When she woke two hours later, cozy, snug tnd refreshed, she found the boy hod wrapped her carefully in his new overcoat, and that Tom was exceedingly busy slapping himself and performing all sorts of acrobatic stunts In an effort te keop his blood stirring. “God bless yon," said the little Irish woman as she returned the overcoat to Its owner. Tom Taggart blushed and smiled and hurried the little lady to the train. But that's not all. Ten years later Thomas Taggart entered upon an uphill battle for political honors—auditor of Marion County. At that time Bridget Nagle was stm In Mr. Taggart’s employ. She called npon him. “They tell me yon*Te gettln’ into politics.” she said. “That's very true,” was the reply. *T want to be county auditor." FIRST CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION. ‘'You’ll be needin’ a lot of money, mebbe?” suggested Bridget Nagle. "It will take some money, yes,” said the puzzled Thomas. The little Irish lady reached Into the bosom es her dresa and prodnoed a roll of bills. “That'll help,” the said, simply, handing Mr. Taggart fIOO, all her savings. “I’ve loved yon ever since the night' you put your overcoat on me and went cold yourself, over there at Deschler,” eh* declared, nor would she be denied her part in the election of her friend. “That was the one and only contribution to my campaign fund that year,” said Mr. Taggart, when reminded of the episode. Bridget Nagle has good reason to remember Tom Taggart and his obivalric friendliness In after years. - Her contribution to the first Taggart campaign bore good fruit and a rich harvest.
