!1:ST < 'AUK FOR THE HANDI
CAPPED
Opposition to a general bonus for
loldiors or the late war should not
n any citizen be a negative attitude,
i ought in a positive way to imply
itid include the strongest possible
nsistence on better national care
or veterans who suffered wounds
n the struggle, or have contracted
lisease in service or since. One of
he primary objections to the claim
or a universal bonus is that it has
liverted the power of the American
>gion and the attention of the pub
ic from the special obligation which
he nation bears toward those whom
he war handicapped. While the
strong, hearty and well circum
stanced have pressed for additional
eoompenses, the crippled, the ailing
md the poverty stricken have been
u'slected. Had they received, as
hey should, the first thought of
heir comrades and of political lead
ers. the country would have been
spared the shame of the acknow
ledgment which is now put on of
ficial record by President Harding's
special committee studying the mat
:er—the acknowledgment that the
nation has neither provided suffi
cient and proper hospitals for the
sick nor met its promise of a practi
cal training to teach the maimed
low to support themselves.
It is certainly high time to amend
his discreditable oversight, and the
heaviest pressure of public opinion
should be directed to convincing the
lew Congress that it ought to put
10 other business—neither peace
lor taxation nor tariff—ahead of

v.ends for a competent board which
irill at once set right the whole min
stry of mercy and gratitude owed
>y the nation to its disabled veter
ms. This is a matter wherein the
church has obvious right to exert
lie political influeuce of its mem
bership, and pulpits throughout the
land should suggest how private let
ters to congressmen and senators
svill help to keep this fundamental
patriotic duty before the eyes of na
tional lawmakers. No bonus for
anybody able to take care of lilm

DWARF SOfFLOWER HAS M.WY
LEAVES AXD WHITE SEEDS
The latest development of tlie sun
flower family stands only 3 feet
high, and its thick, short stalk is
covered by a dense mass of large
leaves the flower being white in col
or, witb a large yield of seeds. The
leaves not only aid in keeping
birds from the bent head of the
plant, but offer protection from the
wind. It is said that the little sun
flower is a record breaker in its line,
yielding more seeds per acre than
its taller competitors, and that it
will ultimately supplant the older
kinds. Sunflower seed is coming
into more general use as time goes
on, and the i;v .v variety is looked
upon as a thrifty producer of the
commodity.
