SINNOTT'S BILL WILL 1
AID DISCHARGED MEN
Washington, D. C, Aug. 13. Rep
resentative N. J. Slnnott, Chairman
of the Committee on the Public
Lands of the House of Representa
tives, has reported the Mondell Bill,
H.'R. 487, known as the National
Soldiers'" Settlement Act, to the
House. "
The Mondell Bill which is along
the lines of Secretary Lane's plan.
was not materially changed by the,
Committee which has held almosi
dally hearings and meetings to con
sider the same, since Congress con
vened in May.
The Bill contemplates the reclama
tion, acquisition and development of
one or more projects In each state
and is designed to assist soldiers to
get hornet under the best conditions.
When such a project has been de
veloped to a point where the lands
either by reclamation, clearing, drain
age, or irrigation are in fit condition
for farming, the area will be divided
into farms by the bill as reported to
the House.
A payment of 5 per cent of the
value fixed is required at the time
the farm is alloted. Thus on a farm
valued at $5,000 the initial payment
would be $250, a sum which the sol
dier could save while working on the
development of the project for one to
three years during which time he
would be paid the going wages.
After the farms have been alloted,
assistance Is to be given the soldier
in maklug his improvements, the
maximum loan provided for this pur
pose being $1500, and not in excess
of three-fourths of the cost or value
of the Improvements. During, or in
connection with , the making of 4ils
improvements the soldier could by
his personal efforts and work easily
contribute his 25 per cent ot the total
cost.
Provision is also made for loans
to the soldier settler tor the purchase
of necessary livestock and equipment,
the maximum ot such loans being
$1200, ot 75 per cent ot the total cost
of necessary livestock and 60 per
cent ot the equipment, so that while
it Is assumed in many cases the sol
dlerwould have some savings for a
start, it Is believed that a man start
ing at the beginning ot one of these
projects without capital could,
through Industry and frugality earn
and save enough t.i make his initial
and other payments as tbey become,
due.
The balance due on the land shall
be paid in amortizing payments ei
.ending over a period to be fixed by
the Secretary of the Interior, not to
xceed 40 years, bearing interest at
the rate of 4 per cent per annum.
Congressman 81nnott's report also
states that the late President, Theo
dore Roosevelt, advocated the sol
dier settlement policy as proposed
Dy Secretary Lane, in the last article
which he wrote for the press; that
President Wilson has urged It upon
Congress in two messages; that the
Governors in 27 states have appoint
ed Commissions to cooperate with
the Secretary pf the Interior, and al!
3f these Commissions have expressed
their earnest interest in legislation of
this character.
Congressman Sinnott also calls at
tention to the fact that the American
Legion has officially endorsed the bill,
and that 112,088 soldiers have made
formal application for opportunities
of employment and home getting un
der the terms of this bill.
ST. LOUIS NEWSPAPER
COMPLIMENTS WOMEN
Misnamed Publication Pays High
Tribute to Their Ability
and Sagacity,
St. Louis' leading newspaper, The
Globe-Democrat, which belles Its
name by its espousal of Republican
principles, pays a high compliment to
Missouri women who met with the
Republican men for the first time In
a political couferonce on July 27th.
"Women Prove Good Politicians," is
the headline, followed by a hanger,
Suffragists Handle Election of
Chairman with Sagacity and More
Skill Than Men."
Throughout the long article the
women's ability and knowledge of
procedure aroused admiring com
ment. "Women showed ability to
handle a political situation gracefully
and skillfully," comments the Olobe
Democrat, and added, "The women
asked little advice about the proce
dure In their election matters from
the Republican leaders at the meet
ing. John Sell moll, chairman ot the
Republican City Committee, Jacob L.
Babler, national committeeman, and
W. L. Cole, state chairman, said the
women needed no advice about poli
tics." A state chairman, and chairmen
and vice chairmen for every district
In the state, were elected at the con
ference, which will begin active or
ganization work among the women
Immediately. Republican Women's
District Clubs will be followed by
precinct, city and town clubs. MJ
sourl is "on the political map" and
her women intend that It shall stay
there!

Ten Points to Con
sider Before You
Buy any Truck
THE Motor truck is established. Its utility is no longer
questioned. As a means of transportation it is defin
itely established that a motor truck is incomparably
economical, convenient, etc., so it is not a question of
whether or not you need a truck.
Your decision must be which truck to select. It is a big
Suestion, not to be decided until you have every fact, every
ata of cost before you. On that basis only can you make
a selection that will justify the required expenditure.
GARY, "The Ten Test Truck" invites every investigation
every test or question that any owner may advance.
The Gary Motor Truck has been selected by some of the
largest Truck users in America. They buy on a basis of
fact only, and the Gary has satisfied these owners in every
one of these following ten vitally important points.
Test Vl" REASONABLE INVEST
MENT. Don't buy a truck that will de
preciate too rapidly to be economical. You
really rent a motor truck when you buy it.
At the end of its period of use it should
have substantial "cash or trade-in" val
ue. Investigate the actual "after use"
wortlTOf any truck before you make your
selection.
Test "2" ECONOMICAL SELECTION
Trucks are means of economy. It is not
an investment to buy a truck that will in
crease your transportation costs. Find
out what it will actually cost you to trans
port your merchandise.
Test "3" SIMPLICITY. Skilled ex
perienced labor costs money. You don't
want to increase your labor hire because
of your truck investment. Before making
your choice, take any worker in your de
livery department, give him a few simple
instructions, see whether or not the truck
is simple enough for his unskilled abilities.
Test "4" EQUALIZED BALANCE.
From front to rear lamp bracket maxi
mum efficiency of operating requires even
distribution of weight, work and wear.
The motor must not be too light for its
load, the frame must not be heavier than
is necessary. Consider whether or not
there is proper co-relation of size and
parts.
Test "5" OVER CARRIAGE. Do not
buy a one-ton truck and expect it to do a
3-ton duty. But the truck you do buy
should be built to allow for reasonable
margin of overload. Buy the size truck
that your business needs, but do not in
vest in a 5-ton truck for a 1-ton truck la
bor. Nor should you buy a 3V6 ton track
for a 5 ton labor.
Test "6" CONTINUED OPERATION.
Accidents will happen, and some repairs
are inevitable. Select the track of a "de
sign so standardized that repairs will
never keep your truck out of service.
Test "7" ESTABLISHED MANUFAC
TURE. A truck made by a maker having
limited resources is a questionable in-
vestment Be sure that the maker of your
truck will be able to continue in business
as long as you do.
Test "8" DEALER DEPENDABIL
ITY. The dealer is the agency that is di
rectly responsible to you. Be sure that
the dealer from whom you buy your truck
is as reliable as your own, banker. Do not
buy a truck from a dealer that has a repu
tation of shifting responsibility.
Test "9" NON RADICAL DESIGN.
Radical changes and principles are exper
imental. Do not buy an experimental
truck. Keep within approved design and
principle.
Test "10" SPEED POWER. An em-
ergency will arise where you will have to
run your fully loaded truck at its maxi
mum speed. Power should provide for
speed to allow for speed when it is necessary.
GARY, "The Ten Test Track" has measured up
to every test. Let us give you the facts to prove it.
