The book was preserved by the
Rutledge family, finally coming into
the possession of William Rutledge
of Milton, Mont., a nephew of Ann.
From him it was borrowed by Miss
Jane Hamand for the public library

Mr. Rutledge's consent, she present-

handled mostly in the halls and

than passing attention.

Just now the bonus is in the air.
You read about it on your favorite
paper, hear about it on your favorite
corner or radio station. The bonus
all over, it's everywhere—except
the pockets of those who say they
want and need it. And that's where
the rub comes in. There’s a wide
spread between wanting a thing and
getting it sometimes—and this bonus
fjght is one of those times.

Strong opposition has developed
defeat the Patman bill. Opponents are
no more bent on blocking passage of
the bill, however, than the veterans
are determined to see that it goes
through. Neither side is letting any
moss grow under their feet in trying
to gain advantages.
* * * *
In Texas it is significant that most
of the big dailies are opposed to pay-
ing the bonus now, while a majority
of the smaller dailies and weeklies
are lined up behind the veterans.
Some say that to pay the soldiers
off now will wreck the country’s fin-
ancial system. Others say it is al-
ready wrecked; that all that is neces-
sary now is to recognize the fact.

This is your government, all talk

one way or another tell it to your

box, rent a hall, do what you want to
do—but don’t do anything that you'll
be sorry for later.* Let’s have* free
