Secretary Tumulty said the tour would occupy about 25 days, “if the! president can stand it” and the itiner- ary is expected to be completed in 24 hours. The president is represented as re- garding it more pressing than ever that he should make the trip and it was explained that he would not nec- essarily wait for the peace treaty to be reported to the senate by the for- eign relations committee. While the president wishes to start the tour soon, there are various ele- ments that must be considered, in- cluding necessary arrangements for his reception in cities to be visited, and-hia-desire-to greet Generel Per- shing when he arrives in New York} next week.

COURT UPHOLDS * MEAT SEIZURE (By United Press.) COLUMBUS, Aug. 27.—The su- preme court upheld the recent seiz- ure of meat here in a fight against the cost of living. It permits the sale of meat to the public at cost. Other prosecutors were awaiting the decision before seizing meats stored in violation of the state cold storage law. The sporting events to be staged at the ir Grounds on Labor Day} bid fair to be the biggest drawing | card ever put on in Casper, and there is little doubt but that the capacity of the grand stand will be taxed to the limit. Sergeant Johnny Lee, who arrived. lin €asper a few days ago, has gone into training with Geo. McLeod, the \husky little wrestler, and both are working out in great form. The sol- Kdier boy who was the center of crowds ‘of admirers when he appeared on the 1 streets yesterday, looks the part-of a real strapper. He is built much }on the lines of Jack Dempsey, ex- cept that he lacks a few inches in The big infantry sergeant is equip- [ped with a powerful pair of should- rs and a reach that will make him fa formidable opponent in any cam- | Paign. | Big Jack Hempel, the Casper boy | who ed ‘in the Marine corps, ‘worked out with Jess Willard during |the training season for the world championship battle, and was by far the classiest mitt artist in the Wil- lard camp. He has the honor of be- ing the first man who ,ever floored Willard. Both as an offensive and defensive fighter Hempel is a whirl- wind, and greater honors await him in, the squared arena. On the whole, this bout should by far be the greatest sport event ever staged in Wyoming, and in itself is worth more than the admission ask- ed. 2 ssocinted Press.)

Sunday has been named as a big day in the drive at the refineries and nearly fifteen men of this ser- vice club will campaign on this day. The latter part of the drive is to see a huge auction sale in the business section of the city. Jack Leary, popular Burlington railroad official, has been esked to head this great auction sale. Any person in the city having articles of both the odd and freakish variety have been asked to notify Mr. Hobson at the Salvation Army headquart- ers here. Any article will be re. ceived to be auctioned off later. MONDELL’S BILL TO GRANT SOLDIER LAND IS HEARD IN HOUSE Floor Leader Mondell Discusses Merits of Proposed Bill to Ai id Soldiers to Acquire Land Thru Government Co-operation; Bonus Plan Scored (special to The Tri WASHINGTON, Au ing today in the house in support o: his soldier settlement bill, Floor Leader Mondell discussed in detail its merits as well as criticism heard against the plan. Entirely aside from the fact that to give every returning soldier a cash bonus, 28 proposed by some, would require a sum equaling the total cost of our participation in the war, Congressman Mondell as- serted that a mere gift of money would not in any sense measure the nation’s appreciation of this service, and gave it as his opinion that the average soldier neither wanted nor expected a gratuity of this kind. Discussing the “infiltration plan,” proposed by some, which contem- plates aiding the soldier in purchas- ing improved farms, Mr. Mondell said: “Assuming that it were practical, or, from certain viewpoints, com- mendable to assist the soldier in se- curing possession of a farm now oc- cupied and utilized, could any plan} B devised less desirable from the dpoint of.the best interests of country than ‘one which simply: swapped one farm owner for another ¢, displaced the man familiar with his ‘isurroundings and utilizing them to Jadvantage for one entirely strange to the environment?
