SOMETHING FOR YOU
TO THINK ABOUT
N. L. Tibbils Writes  Article Giving Ideas on Adjustment of War Time
Pay for Soldiers.
Continued from February 29th)
In short, Mr. Citizen, let me say
that the ex-service men of this country
are out to see the "Adjustment Com-
pensatloij Bill" thru and farther .without it's being attached to a Sales Tax
idoa either. There are other ways by
which it can be paid! What are
they? Bear with me!
In Dec. 1922, Mr. Mellon predicted
a gov't deficit of $650,000,000 for the
fiscal year ending June 30th last, and
for this reason Pres. Harding vetoed
the bill'. At the end of the fiscal year
there was a gov't surplus of ^oIS.OOO,-
000.
Here Is a discrepancy ol nearly a
Billion Dollars. Was Mr. Mellon one
Billion dollars wrong or did he know
better??
Then Pres. Harding told ex-service
men their account would be settled
when the country could afford it.
Now Mr. Mellon realizes the American people need a tax reduction and
facts can no longer be concealed,
Therefore new figures are required.
He wants to reduce taxes $323,000,-
000, but says no adjusted compensation or no tax reduction.

c-ntral time, each evening except
Saturday and Sunday.
Extension specialists and professors from the agricultural division at

two men talking for fifteen minutes
each on each evening. The material
will be of a strictly practical nature,
according to Director Baldwin, aiming to give useful pointers for the
farmer and home gardener along

Being abolutely new, the radio

soon."

The final lesson of the course on
missionary work and world service
was studied at the League's devotional hour last Sunday evening. It has
taken nine Sundays to cover this series, but they have been hours filled up
by thought, study and practical discussion.
Six Sundays were devoted to a review of the. book "Youth of America"
by Dr. Daniel Marsh. Youth and the
Home, Youth and Education, Youth
and Business, Youth and Recreation,
Youth and Citizenship, Youth and Religion were the topics for the various
Sundays.
Leaders for these meetings have
been Fannie Corbin, Emma Jennings,
Durward Kennedy, Howard Waite.
Nettie Hachmuth, Victoria Grewe
Viola Grewe and Altha Kidder.
For instructors we have been pleased to have the following: Mr. Earl
Sternaman, Mrs. Earl Sternaman, Mrs.
Stella Lampman, Mrs. Ruth Hachmuth, Mrs. Alta Bellinger, and Mr. H.
A. Strait.
The leaders arrange and direct the
programs, assign topics, questions,
and reports. The instructors prepare
the lessons, present them, and direct
the discussion.
The World Service of the Methodist
Episcopal church was reviewed the
last three Sundays. The work of the
different departments of the church,
Sunday school and League in their
world-wide relations was brought out.
Did we ever realize or appreciate the
gigantic proportions of the work of our
church before?
Several Sunday night luncheons before League, the big banquet with
songs, speeches, games, eats and enjoyable companionships, and a few recreational evenings have helped to
round out the winter's work.
(Young Methodist people, or others
without church affiliation, have you
keen with us? If not, why not? You
are invited! The doors swing wide on
their hinges for you at six o'clock,—
come!)
*" WHAT NEXT?
Next Sunday evening at five o'clock
_ .vidident Olga Dixon announces a
social luncheon. Girls bring one-half
dozen sandwiches; boys bring cookies
or doughnuts.
We may look for something in the
nature of a surprise from Mrs. Sternaman.
How about a series of studies in the
life of Christ? After all is not the
main purpose of our work to know him
better, to love him better, to serve
him better? Yes, we say.
Next Sunday evening, then, the
time six o'clock, the place—M. E.

tires, carrying out the reduction alone
to men ot moderate means it means
a saving of ?225,000,000.
18 months ago the U. S. Treasurer
claimed that the cost of this bill, if
passed,, would be ?80,000,000 per year.
Now he says it would be ?225,000,000.
Why??
He has positively ignored the $160,-
000,000, paid annually by Great
Britain also the proposed cut in Government expenditures annually of
$220,000,000.   Why?
Either of these items would alone
pay the whole cost of the adjusted
compensation.
What is going to be done with these
amounts if the Bill is not passed? Is

debt going to be cancelled?   Do
