woods. Suddenly, I spled a dim
light. Walking close, I saw Charley
behind & big stump stewing his
turkey in a camp kettle, The smell
made me powerful hungry and I
busted in on him.
HATES TO LEAVE
“Corporal, I hate to leave you
and the outfit,” Charley said. “I
don’'t know how they feed a fellow
on the boats, but I'll have turkey
for a few days anyhow. Hold your
horses a while longer aad I'll give
you a drumstick for breakfast.”
~ “No, you keep it, Charley,” I an
swered, “You'll need all of it.”
He had no salt, so used hickory
wood ashes instead, Every man
who served with the Union forces
in Southera territory knows that
hickory ashes are the finest substi
tute for salt in the world.
We chatted awhile and I return
ed to camp, carefully avoiding the
captain as I turned in.
. r e
Well, goodbye, Charley. Take
good care of yourself, Doc says
you won't get any exercise oa the
‘boat and you’ll weigh 300 pounds
in a month or so, Hope the war
will soon end and we'll see you up
in Illinois with the home folks.
The boats are unaloading at East
port, ten miles down the river. I've
got to hurry down with several hun
dred letters from the boys to their
Ma's and Pa's and sweethearts.
There is a big load of mail wait
}lng for us and the troopers are
running me ragged to get going.
Here I go—to meet Applejack Bill,
my next story.

4-Point Program
To Insure Peace
“Peace for America”, insured by
means of legislative enactment, is
a goal towards which the Veterans
of Foreign Wars will bend its
efforts when the 37th annual en
c a mpment convenes at Denver,
September 13 to 18, according to
‘ldvlcu from national headquarters,
' The proposed program embodies
four points: (1) permanent Ameri
can neutrality policy; (2) universal
conscription of capital and indus
}m. without profit and on the same
basis as man-power in the event of
’wu; (3) federal control or regula
tion of the manuacture and sale of
‘munitions for the purpose of obviat
‘lng war profits and (4) adequate
national defense.
. IDEAL SOUGHT
- “Permanent peace for America,
leading to permanent world peace,
is an ideal towards which our nat
ional organization constantly is
working,” a high official pointed
out. “Our entire membership is
composed of overseas veterans of
America’s armed forces, Every man
in the organization nas had person
al experience in the zone of warfare,
He hates and fears war and is de
termined to do all that is humaaly
possible to prevent future wars, es
pecially wars for this country.
“Veterans have no use for the
‘peace-at-any-price’ type of pacifist
but we do sincerely believe that it
is possible to plan for the preven
tion of war by removing the profits
from war, by imposing equal bur
dens upon all citizens in time of
war, by being adequately prepar
ed for the effective defense of our
shores and our people and by main
taining a strictly neutral position
in any and all controversies and
hostilities between other world
powers,” he concluded.
DRAFT DATES
. WASHINGTON, D, C.—The first
registration for the draft at the
time of the World War, June 65,
1917, covered the ages from 21 to
31; the second registration, one
year later, June 5, 1918, and August
24, 1918, included those who had
become 21 years old since the first
registration. The third registration,
September 21, 1918, extended the
age limit downward to 18 and up
ward to 45.

kin of Missouri is 20 years old and

History's Biggest Payoff
. " ’ ”———
Slowly, the pages of the ledger
recording history’s biggest pay-off
are being turned, Uncle Sam is
off to settle accounts with
8,618,191 War Veterans holding his
adjusted service certificates.
Already, under the 1931 law, veter
ans have borrowed nearly a billion
dollars from the goverament.
On June 15, 2,000,000 registered
letters, each containing sheaves of
SSO baby bonds bearing 3 per cent.
interest, and certified checks for
amounts less than SSO, will flood
the mails. By tie end of the month,
700,000 more letters will pour out.
There are 800,000-odd veterans el
igible for this bonus who have not
filed claims.
All told, that represents 36,700,
000 SSO bonds, and $87,786,000 in
checks for odd amounts, When the
postman calls with this long-await
ed windfall, the veteran must sign
a receipt, for the bonds are not
transferable.
If he wants to turn those boads
into cash, the veteran will call at
the nearest of 286 first-class post
offices for cash or he can go to any
one of 14,000 second-class post-off
ices where the bonds will be ac
cepted and forwarded to the nearest
depot for cashing.
But how many will want cash is
the X-quantity of the bonus payoff.
“Your guess is as good as mine,”
says Heary Morgenthau, Jr., placid,
owlish Secretary of the Treasury.
If all who get letters on June 15
want currency for their baby bonds,
Uncle Sam will have to whack up
$1,700,000,000, He is prepared to
do that.
NEW CARS
Some 300,000 veterans will buy
new automobiles. Others will buy
tickets to “See America” or “Revis
it France.” If every veteran decided
to make a down-payment on a new
house, consumer-goods ind u stries
‘would hit a man-sized boom.
- It's much easier to estimate how
this money will be speat than to
guess how many bonds will be con
verted into cash. The American Leg
ion sent questionnaires to half a
million veterans, represeating ai
cross-section from all stations of !
life. |
Certified public accountants pro-
Jected these returns onto a basis of
3,518,191 certificate holders. It was
based on an assumed 100 per ceat,
demand for cash,
Surveys bear out the belief that
the -constuction -industries, -real
estate market, and automobile man
ufacturers will be the greatest ben
eficiaries this summer.
Yet, even as the Treasury's cog
wheels are tripping out this bonus
paying machinery, veterans’ lobbies
at Washington are putting on more
steam. And the rallying cry in this
legislative scramble is:
“Pensions for all.”

THE VETERANS' REVIEW
Governor Martin chided Teast
master Chadwick for stealing his
thunder. f:
“I have always been the first one
to compliment the ladies on their
beautiful gowns,” the governor uld.\i
with a smile. |
“Sorry, Governor,” replied cwl-j
wick, “I completely forgot that this
was a campaign year.”
The governor also pointed out to
Mrs. Mucklestone that Washington
has only 2% sales tax, whereas Ill
inois has a 3% tax, “That is one
more reason why you and your hus
band should move out to our North
west,” he urged,
Mrs. Malcom (Clara) Douglas,
prominent member of the Auxiliary
made a gracious welcoming speech
on behalf of the Auxiliary. Reta
Dunn sang a soag, accompanied at
the piano by Margaret Kelly,
- Walter Talbott, department com
mander of Washington and Alaska,
spoke of the great work being dono'
by Mrs. Mucklestone, and also prais
ed the work of the various com
mittees in the department,
‘ Orville G, Fairburn, former class
mate of Melville Mucklestone and
}popularli known on the campus as
“Skinny” Fairburn, i 3 a cleverly
worded speech, told the honor
guest that ‘“Mel belongs to us, and
}you belong to him; therefor, you
belong to us.”
Mrs. Robert Byrne and Mrs. V., W.
Gittings sang a duet. Their accom
panist was Estare Sullivan,
Then Mrs. Roy Phipps of Aber
deen, department president, intro
'duced Mrs. Mucklestone as the
speaker of the evening,
The large assemblage of over
three hundred people listened in
tently as she traced the position of
women from ancient times until to
day. The approach to complete ful
fillment of woman's destiny as the
companion, comrade and inspiration
of man is well shown in the coord
inated activities of the Americaa
Legion and Auxiliary, wherein men
and women work together, using
their differing talents and capaci- |
ties, for achievemeats beyond the
powers of either working alone, lhci
pointed out. 4
The charm of Mrs, Mucklestone's
speaking voice would hold the inter
est of any audience, regardless o
the topic on which she spoke,
the subject of her talk was of vital
interest to every member ia attend
ance. Her inflection, perfect diction
and beautiful poise gave rise to the
comment from a group of drama
lovers that the stage lost a superb
~ss when Ada Musklestone turn
ed her interests and talents to the
business . world. Members of the
Legion and the Auxiliary, however,
feel that what the stage lost, they
have gained, as she is an indefat
igable worker in Legioa interests
At the conclusion of her spoech‘
Mrs. Mucklestone was prenented‘
with a wooden salad bowl set, made
from Washington woods, by the‘
’st,ate department of the auxiliary.
’ Mrs. Mucklestone was showered
with congratulations oa her won
‘dertully inspiring talk. The honest
praise from the lips of her hus
band's friends, waiting in line to
‘approach the speakers’ table in
‘order to extend friendly wishes and
expressions of appreciation, touched
her deeply. |
Honor guests at the speakers’
table included Governor mrt.ln.‘
Mayor and Mrs. Smith, Toastmas

Phipps of Aberdeen, demrtmemJ
president of the auxiliary; Mrs. Guy
Pratt of Everett, state historian;

tary to Mrs. Mucklestone; Walter
Talbott of Colfax, department com
mander; Clara Douglas of Seattle,

fense; L. A, Williams, state -child

dent, and Mrs. Charles Leach of
