TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1922 DID VETERANS CHAIRMAN OF AMERICAN LEGION WELCOMES FRENCH DELEGATE. 25 Bands Play Military Airs While New Orleans Cheers. EVERY STATE IS THERE Floats, Tanks That Had Seen Service in Prance and War- ; iiameu cannon feature, 2 PARADE BY MORROW KRUM. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 18. Ten thousand yankeea gave New Orleans a glorious parade this after noon. . There were 55 military bands in the procession, there were 23 drum corps, a score of bizarre floats, hun dreds of flags and standards, a thou sand different "stunts," detachments from the battleships that are in the harbor, cannon that wore overseas stripes, rumbling tanks that once crawled through the mud of France. Two squadrons of air planes and a formation of seaplanes, soared over the line of march. In the reviewing stand were Han ford MacNider, national commander of the legion; Ex-Judge K. M. Landis of Chicago, who is probably the most popular . visitor; Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Mayor Andrew McShane and hundreds of distin guished visitors. Crowd Cheers Steadily. From the time the motorcycle po licemen cleared the path tor the ad vancing column until the last over seas nurse had passed, the crowd at the reviewing stand did not cease cheering. The parade was led by detach ments of this state's national guard, artillery, infantry and cavalry. Then came the jackies from the battle ships. Then came the legion's state de partments, the unit which had the greatest proportional growth in membership last year leading. The leading unit was from Alaska. Seven delegates from the land of the ice and snow carried a banner shouting the good qualities . of .their home land. The delegation from con tinental Europe followed.' Came the Hot Spring's, Ark., delegation. They were clad in bath robes. There was a saxaphone band from St. Joseph, Mo., while helmeted boys from Pan ama, the yankees from Iowa, a "forty and eight", band from Chi cago, a snappy drum corps from Rockford, a bathing girl foat from Florida, a bunch of corn huskers from Iowa, a large crowd from Pennsylvania, a band of Indians from Oklahoma, some cowboys with six shooters from Wyoming, Every State la There. Every state represented had a band or a drum corps and many had both. "It was a glorious procession, a parade that gave America the an nual message of the fidelity of our fboys," said Commander MacNider. The legion this morning adopted a resolution announcing it still de mands adjusted compensation. "Back in 1917 it was decided that we needed an army." said ex-Judge Landis in speaking to the conven tion, vv e sot tne army. i nanKS to you and then someone decided that this army should be paid $30 a month. It was not enough for you men. It was all right then, because we were at war and had to think about winning this war but, now that "it is over, I believe that the men of America should be properly paid for the work they did. "It isn't a bonus it is an adjusted compensation. It is nothing more than giving the heroes of America the reward they deserve. "I am for adjusted compensation." Two full minutes of applause greeted the jurist's remarks. '"It is also a shame the way Amer ica has been taking care of her dis abled men," he continued. "If the people knew the way their men had been neglected they would not eleep at night." FARMER'S TRIAL IS OVER (Continued From Firet Page.) which formerly was not always re cognized as due to them. "The other day a farmer said' to me that the farmers could them selves rehabilitate agriculture very promptly if they would just unite on a programme of reducing produc tion. I replied that the farmers would never unite on such a pro gramme because of the peculiar eco nomic circumstances of their in dustry. Every farmer is an eco nomic entity by its own. Every farmer is a captain of industry. The elimination of competition among them would" be impossible without sacrificing that fine individualism that still keeps the farm the real reservoir from which the nation draws so many of the finest ele ments of its citizenship. "Moreover, it would be a calamity if the farmers should unite in such a diminuation of production as would force famine prices or something approximate to them. The world can get along without a good many other things, but it cannot get along without the products of the farm. "It is rather a striking fact that among the world's industries that of agriculture has been most rapidly rehabilitated since the war. The crop statistics of the world for the past two seasons are proof of this. We may attribute it to that very in dividualism and self-sufficiency of the farmer, to which I have referred. "Agricultural production is very nearly restored, taking the world a whole; but agricultural prices are bo low that it Is apparent to all of us that the farmer is not being ade . quately compensated. The Wash ington. administration has recog ni.ed this condition and has done everything Jn its power to restore a normal balance between prices and costs of production. A great deal has been accomplished and X am glad to say that the trend is etrongly toward better conditions for the farmer. He has been the leader in the difficult task of bringing the whole industrial world back to nor mal conditions, and that contribu tion is everywhere Tecognized. "Our own country,' as evidenced by every index of business and com mercial conditions, is on the way now 10 a new Kitx ui duLiviiy ana prosperity. In that new era we can be very sure that the farmer will be among the first to get the substan tial recognition which he needs amd must have for what he has done to make these improved circumstances possible."

Married Life Single Day. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 18. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Herman Henry Lau meir, wealthy clubman and real es tate dealer, this afternoon asked the1 circuit court to determine teh pa ternity of the son of his ex-wife, Mrs. Byrd Shoemaker, who is suing him in New York for the support of the child. He declares he separated from her the day after they were married in January, 1918, and that the child was not. born until 23 months later. Mr. Laumeir, who was secretary of the St. Louis club of the Federal Baseball league, asks that a guar dian of the child be appointed, and if it is found that he is not the father of the child he requests that his ex-wife and the child be en joined permanently from making any claims against him or his estate. If, however, it is found he is the father pf the boy, he wan.ts his care and custody, declaring his ex-wife's "conduct and companions unfit her to have the care, custody and rear ing of a legitimate child." Mr. Laumeir is 47 years old and his ex-wife is said to be more than '20 years his junior. The couple were married at Salem, 111., January 8, 1918, and in June of the following year the wife sued for divorce, say ing they had separated shortly after the marriage and that he had failed to provide for her. She was granted the decree and her maiden name was restored. Mr. Laumeir says he gave her sev eral sums of $10,000 each which he expected would release him from further alimony claims. According to the petition. Laumeir testified at the divorce trial that he married his ex-wife while he was intoxicated, following an all-night spree, on January 8, 1918. 0LC0TT CITES ECONOMY (Continued From First Page.) will be glad to bear the brunt of any attack that may be made.

"It I never accomplished anything else in my life but the move for a new boys' training school I feel I could go down to my grave satisfied with my accomplishments. If there is anyone so sordid, so mindful of money that he wishes to vote against me because I sacrificed a few miles of road and staked it against our future citizenship, I tell him to vote that way and be satisfied. ' Work Done Well. "The board of control has builded carefully .with these institutions and I know it has builded well. It has an organization perfected, not based on politics, not as a political ma chine, but an organization for the express purpose of conducting these institutions and conducting them right." Governor Olcott spoke in a thea ter here tonight before a large crowd, and divided time with T. B. Kay, who discussed the tax situa tion.'

New York trade papers report that Denver is going to be the smokeless city, and to that end will select 100 residences in which to install gas for heating at a special cut rate. Portlanders reading this will smile, for here this special cut rate was established years, and years ago. A hundred gas-heated homes, forsooth. Portland counts them by . the thou sand. The rate here was set at 50 cents a thousand net long before the world war, and now is back again to almost that figure.
