PENSION PROBLEMS " When the United States mobilized its resources to support its entry into the World War and called three and one half millions of its citizens for military service there were those who saw the rising of a great problem the problem of providing, in accordance with established practice, for the great number called to the colors. That problem was not solved by the recent campaign between Uie executive and administrative branches of the federal government. It was because experience had proved the weaknesses and excessive costs of the pension system, and because of the abuses and scandals under that ystem, that war risk insur ance was decided upon as preferable. It was generally un derstood that this insurance plan was in lieu of pensions, but shortly after the war ended it was decided that the veterans should be treated more generously, and again to avoid the .l!fvtiomiblo pension system, fhe bonus plan was hit upon And now the pension plan may vault that obstacle. Taxpayers do not object to the pensioning of war veterans but do oppose unfair discrinu'nation in the distribution of pensions. Their fight is against political exploitation of ,the pension plan, extravagant waste of pension funds, and th; .other abuses and scandals .. that have followed in 4he waje, of preceding pension laws, ' And- now. at its convention the Oregon department of, the American Legion has again registered its opposition to a general pension plan, favoring instead convpensation for ser vice disabilities, adequate hospitalization for veterans, a definite rehabilitation program, the adjusted compensation principle and insurance loans. -- LOYALTY THE KEYNOTE ! ; la Grande as a community has lost one of its most royal mentis and supporters in the passing of A. J. Martin, Civil iwar veteran and retired railroad nun. Mr. Martin was in many ways an unusual nun. Perhaps? li y.tUy was the keynote of his character, and he set a won UUi'ful example for others to attempt to follow. That which ; 'he ruimiied he supported and whole-heartedly at all times. His was the type of loyalty that manifested itself at re ;l:.ar.i!s as well as concerts, and it did not dull vfhen the c!ouds of defeat were blackest. J We recall many instances that demonstrated the many ;niie things about Mr. Martin's life, some taking place during r.ts i-tdlhx.d career, others in his fraternal and patriotic .letivities, some in his every-day associations. "Among his favorites were his flag Old Glory that he served under back in 1S62-6S, the La Grande municipal ' Uind, and the La Grande baseball team, when the latter wis in existence. He never wavered in his support : he would travel scores of miles and sit through a dust storm to watch his favorite team in action. He sought and expected no reward: if reward came, he accepted it with becoming modesty. There was nothing that smirked of hypocrisy in his makeup; when he formed his convictions, he kept faith with them. i A I.ITTI.K THIEVING lly Alice JudMiit Peale Probably every child In the course of his growing up thieves a little new and then. Pennies from his mother'r. purse, forbidden cookies frcm the Jar on the pantry shell or an especially charming toy from an unwary playmate. j Nor Is he. because of these small i delinquencies, a potential criminal. I On the contrary, he Is a wholly nor mal child who. until he has been taught otherwise, sees no reason for t net taking what he wants. ! A very little child may be taught to respect the property of others through having his own possessions treated with respect by the member cf the household. Ae he grows older : and his intelligence develops he will respond to simple, reasonable ex- j planatlons. j It will help If he Is treated always 1 with lore and understanding and If he has enough pleasures and posses- slons of the sort that he craves. A child who has no money of his own to spend and too few or unattractive . tcys can hardly be blamed for taking . these things where he finds them. . Abstract moral Inhibitions should not be counted on In children. Perhaps the worst thing that can happen to a child whose parent has apprehended him In thefs Is to have a great deal made of the Incident so that he Is forced to regard himself as . a moral leper. Such overpowering disapproval dis courages and Intimidates him. H ma;s him reel guilty and inferior.! It causes him to lose confidence In i himself. If children are to grow to be the : men and women we want them to be- ' ccme. they must never, no matter ; what they have done, be permitted ; to oouot our talth in Uielr desire and i aouity to ao rig:it. jr. :; . xV ml . lly Mrs. J.

THE TOBACCO HABIT The war on Demon Nicotine is no new thing, although it k'true the nxvo for prohibition of the use of toKtcco by constitutional amendment is a relatively young idea. Many worthy men and women have denounced the "filthy habit" since the time Sir Walter Raleigh was deluged by the serving maid who, seeing him smoking Indian tobacco, thought him rfire. The wgue of tobacco and its persistence for centuries is not easy to understand by those who take life with deep seriousness. No one is ;;pt to claim that tobacco is a ther apeutic agent. It shortens the breath, causes tobacco heart. .Mains the fingers, litters the parlor and office, is ar. expe:. Mve habit and gives an unpleasant odor to the clothing, breath and surroundings. In the face of all these ev;! effects, why does it nuntfvr its devotees by the millions'? Many users of tobacco will frankly acknowledge that they r.re sorry they ever started the use of it.

Certainly the easiest way to get the most for every dollar you spend is to buy products that you know about through the advertisements in your daily paper. You don't have to go out and look for buying opportunities. The ad vertisements bring them to you. And all you need do is consider the facts, compare values and decide on the soap or the sedan that best fits your judgment and your pocketbook. Certainly the best way of making your money go farthest is to buy merchandise of proved value. Adver tised merchandise. Merchandise that is bought and used by many people. Merchandise that must be superlatively good enough for its maker to keep call ing it to the attention of people day after day and year after year. This is the service of convenience and profit that the advertisements offer you every day. It will pay you to read them regularly and take advantage of everything they can do for you. n
