The weekty luncheon of the Kiwanis club this noon was featured by speeches by Sara Roe Robinson, Sal- vation Army home service, Denver, Johan Aason, W. F. Floto and Count W. B. Jarvis, the last three being associated in various capacities with the Wortham shows now appearing in Casper. Mrs. Robinson, who has been with the Salvation Army for 14 years, out- lined in a brief and impassioned ad- dress the origin of the army, {ts great reconstructive force and characterized it, using the words of Rabbi Fried- man of Denver, as the greatest safe guard American has against the I. W. W. and its nefarious practices. She mentioned the coming weekly cam- paign for funds which the Salvation Army undertakes annually. Follow- ing her talk Harry B. Durham, pres! dent of the club assured her that the Kiwanians would be glad to assist in the drive. W. F. Foto, publicity man for the Wortham shows, made a short talk, as did Count Jarvis, The latter who is a Kiwanian from Atlanta, Ga., paid a glowing tribute to the Salvation Army. Johan Aason, the nine foot giant, now appearing in the city, also spoke briefly. He is a member of the Lions club at Dallas but was unable to attend the dinner here last even- ing. Money was voted by the club to pur- chase’ one of the lighting pedestals which civic organizations are having Placed.on the West Yellowstone bridge. Twenty-two local organizations have been asked to dedicate a ,pedestal in honor of some name famous in the an- nals of Wyoming history. President Durham called the atten- tion of the members {o the dinner which the club is giving next Thurs- @ay night to the Lion’s club. D. W. Oglibee, who is chairman of the com- mittee in charge of a summer home tow Casper girls, made a report of the plan outlined by his committee to the trustees following the meeting. J. S. Mechling, delegate to the in- ternational convention of Kiwanis clubs, was present at the meeting after @ period of illness and was cordially received by the club members. Mr. Mechling is a district trustee of the club. A. R. White won the attendance prize which was donated by Walter Schultz. At the next meeting a biog- raphy of Bill Ellely will be given by A. R. White. Tho question of discon- tinuing the weekly luncheons of the club for the summer months was raised, but a vote to have the meetings during the summer was passed. pe ececrege RESERVE OFFICERS T0 BANQUET TAS EVENING The interest in tho dinner and in formal get-together of the United States Reserve Officers association at the Henning hotel ténight has in- creased as the hour of the function approaches, according to C. H. Rel- merth, secretary of the association. Reservations to the number of 50 «have been sent to Relmerth and indi- cations point toward a larger attend- ance than that. Although there will be one or two short speeches by men prominent in military circles, the de- sire of those in charge of the meet- ing will be to impart to the former officers the latest legislation in regard to the reserve units throughout the United States, and more particularly to Wyoming. All former commissioned officers of the army, navy and marine corps are asked to attend the meeting as well as Any men who have formerly at- tended a citizen's military training camp. It is also asked that the young men who have applied for attendance at the coming summer camp at Fort Douglas, Utah, attend and learn some- thing of the military organization of the army. Throughout the dinner it is expected that “K-K-Kat-y” and other unpretentious, yet popular, songs of the war will be rendered with the same inhsrmonious joy and aban- don which characterized the route step songs during the late turbulent epoch. n fe a EE Try a classified ad in th Tribune.— | obtained about $50, leaped from the| Mshly entertaining.

C., June 15.— Veterans of the world war who have been looking forward to the oppor- velopment. While my desire {s pri- marily to help the soldier, I believe in the policy of land reclamation and development as a national policy and have long believed in it, and I believe in federal aid on behalf of such policy, I believe that such a policy is highly useful and helpful to the country as a whole. There is another pill that has been reported to the senate, a reclama- tion bill, and so far as I am con- cerned, if the senate thinks that bill ought to be placed on the bonus bill instead of this bill, I shall not quarrel with that at all. I want reclamation development and I want it primarily for the soldier. It must be for the soldier in any event, and I am willing to take it in any rea- sonable form. I have no special rride of opinion. This particular measure, the bill to which I have referred, is said\by some not to be quite so wide in its application as the reclamation meas- ure on the bonus bill, becaase it is said that it does not, or would not, authorize the development of any lands except those irrigated or! those drained; but I think a reading of the Smith-McNary bill will make it quite clea rthat under the bill almost ary form of development that would bring the lands into a condition of usefulness, whether it was clearing tunity of securing irrigated homes in the west with the enactment of the adjusted compensation bill, and who have been disappointed by the action of the senate committee in striking from the house borus Dill its reclamation soldier settlement feature, will be encouraged to learn that since Congressman Mondell ap- peared before the senate finance committee, earnestly urging the re- tention of reclamation provisions in the bill, the advisability of restoring these features when it is taken up in the senate is being seriously con- sidered, It now seems certain that as a result of the Wyoming con- gressman’s earnest plea a strong ef- fort will be made to put back in the bonus measure, when it is taken up on the senate floor, reclamation features which the senate committee eliminated. ‘The senate committee omitted the soldier settlement features, accord- ing to one member of the commit- tee, because it had not been suffi- ciently shown that the soldiers wanted it, and because it might cost too much money. To the latter ob- jection Mr. Mondell replied that it would cost no more than congress was willing to appropriate, and that an express limitation could be ' combined with drainage, or drain- placed in the bill if that was con- | age combined with irrigation. or sidered advisable. irrigation combined with either or .both, could be started under that bill, But if our soldier settle- ment provision now on the bonus bill in too broad, it is very easy to amend that. I do not think it is, I think @ reclamation law should be broad, It is very easy to narrow its provisions if you want to. Stressing the importance of the need for this legislation, and’ the fact that it was already half-way through congress, Mr. Mondell call- ed attention to the difficulties in the way of securing appropriations at this time for any independent rec- Jamation measure. ‘In the house ” he declared, only 8 per cent of tue members aro from the country where land reclamation under fed- era} aid has been tested and proven, but those members were able to im- press their views on the house in regard to this matter, supported as they were by the soldiers, and so here we are with our plan thus far— here is legislation half way through congress—all its requires now is the action of the senate. I, would not want to believe that the senate is not favorable to reclamation land development. I cannot understand how the senate, with 30 per cent of its members from states where irrl- gation reclamation is carried on, could afford to take from a soldier “bonus bill a land development fea- ture in such for mas you may deem wise—when such a feature was the very first thing that the soldier or- ganizations asked of the congress. Congressman Mpndell explained to; the committee in detail how the leg- islative committee of the American Legion had recommended the rec- lamation features of the bonus bill which passed the house in the pre- vious congress, as the first provision of their four-fold plan, and how the legion had again urged reclama- tion as part of the present bonus bill; that over 100,000 soldiers had petitioned for an opportunity to get homes; cited its endorsement by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the Federation of Labor and other organizations. Although insisting that the plan carried in the house bill was sound, sane and sensible, the Wyoming congressman told the committee he was not insistent upon the enact- ment of this particular plan. “I do urge, however,” he said, “the en- actment of some legislation which will bring about what we need very | greatly in the west and what is needed quife as much in other sec- | tions of the country—practical, help- ful land development under cond!- tions that are likely to prove suc- | cessful not only from the stand- point of the individual but from the | standpoint of the community. I should be perfectly content to have this committee place on the bonus bill its own form of legislation, whatever it may be; the plan the committee believes best, whatever it may be, providing it is a plan which will lead to reclamation de | | for the Announcement In Opening Of “How do show children live while on the road?” was the question asked William F. Floto, press rep- resentative of the C. A. Wortham shows. ,. “Well, “they are just about the happiest, best looked after and best mannered youngsters it has ever been my good fortune to meet,” re- plied Mr. Floto. “On the Wortham shows, that is now in this city, there are many youngsters, ranging in age from a few months to five and six years. Some of them are too young to attend school, but there is a kin- Gergarten for those above 4 years of age, and they have their books and studies, just like the little tots who live in the cities. There is a regular class for the youngsters, and the mothers take turns in act- ing as teachers. In this manner the ‘mothers become better ac- quainted with thelr own children, have a chance to make comparisons, and aiso an opportunity to drill their youngsters at home in any branch in which they seem to be backward. It has proven a wonder- ful ‘system, very benoficial to the children, and as soon as they are old enough they are sent to public or private schools.
