" An employment committee and officer in various cities {md towns throughout the state is proposed so that it will be possible to keep in touch with men who are in need of work and get them ‘in contact with those in need of employees in the towns and on| ~"the farms. : o 2 Requests will be made to public service corporations, in- dustrial corporations, merchants and farmers to give preference to service men in filling vacant positions or in taking on new help. p'l‘he need of such a program has been very apparent for| some time. Many worthy men have been left stranded in a| crippled condition, unable' to secure help from the government, and without any means of placing their position before the public. The method planned by the American Legion would serve to give greater publicity and influence public sentiment more effectivey than heretofore. The ex-service men are en- tited to every assistance they, can be given. | sl ab e $50,000,000 FOR LIVESTOCK LOANS The efforts of the Harding administration to afford relief to, the livestock industry met with success in the completion. by private bankers of the $50,000,000 pool to be used in long-time loans for livestock interests. The pool is in actual operation. The head offices are located in Chicago and are in charge of practical livestock men and bankers. | - The method of operation is very simple. No direct loans will be made by the pool as it does not wish to use any of the funds to set up machinery for investigating the applications. The loans are made through local banks and cattle loan com- panies, the pool furnishing the funds and the local bankers guaranteeing the loans. " Loans will be made upon recommen- dation of local banks on-stockers, feeders, and breeding cattle. Paper will be made payable in six months from date, but sub- ject to three renewals of six months each, which will be giving the livestock industry a two-year credit. This method of relieving the livestock industry was pre- . ferred by the administration to legislation by congress; first, because it could be put into operation more quickly than any machinery set’up by congressional act: second, because it re- lieved the government from increasing its burdens which must in the long run be charged up to and paid by the taxpayer. =i iy P * MAPLE RIDGE * ISTTEETRRE SRS RS L 2 Miss Clara and Lydia Maag left for Fargo, N.

In accepting the gift, which was christened “President Harding’s Edi- torial Chair,” the president said, in part: ! ‘:I am only the publisher of an in- terior daily paper, sometimes called a i gountry paper, But if I had my lifq suggestion of revenge in. my own hegrt, and if there is onc thing that| contributed more to my modest suc- cess as a publisher it was because the| paper always was on a higher plane than getting even.” SCHOOLS OF COUNTRY BECOMING AMERICANIZED Washington, Aug. 4.—(Capital News Service)—The sentiment in be-! half of the Americanization of the| public schools of the country is grow-| ing apace and legislatures are begin-| ning to take cognizance of it. Specific |} legislation to the end that none but Americans be placed on guard in the teaching of the youth of the country is expected to be enacted from time to time antil no state in the union will be without such. In line with this spirit, the sentiment in behalf of | the development in time of a great| central university in Washington, of the character dreamed of by Gen- eral Washington, but which has not| yet been realized, has not yet died out. Once the ravages of war have disappeared, according to the ben of those wno see anu urge the need| for an institution of this kind at the national capital, it is believed the| project will be revived and become a reality. k 1t was the hope of Washington that | PERIOD FOR REINSTATEMEIT ‘Washington, ‘Aug. 4.---The Burcau of War Risk Insurance has just is- sued new rulings liberalizinig regu- lations under which Japsed or can- celled war risk insurance méay be re- (instated or converted.

If the insurance hus lapsed a longer period the applicant must pre- sent a medical certificate from a rep- utable physictan.

The present administration of the War Risk Insurance bureau has taken this step with the avproval of Secre- tary of Treasury Mellon.
