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."

PHTERNITT UP IB COURT
CLUBMAN DOUBTS EX-WIFE'S
PARENTAL ALLEGATION.1 ,
Child Declared Born 23 Months
After Couple's Separation.
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.

"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

crowd, and divided time with T. B.

that he served in the legislature as
well as favoring a large number of
other bills carrying enormous ap

Olcott has been promised liberal
support here. .
During Governor Olcott's address
a large fiery cross, the emblem of
the Ku KIux Klan, blazed from the
summit of Table Bock, a few miles
south of the city. The cross was
plainly visible for many miles in

DENVER TO HEAT WITH
Gas.
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. If

THE BIG BANK
and the personal touch ,
It is not often that you find a big bank
that finds time to inject the "personal
element" into its business. By the per
sonal element we mean that interest
in the problems of its patrons which
leads to constructive, helpful assistance.
We have endeavored to make the cus
tomers of the United States National
Bank something more than simply de
positors. We have endeavored at the
same time to make this organization
something more than a mere depository.
We are a service & financial service
and those we serve are more clients
than customers.
