LEGION MEN TO MEET
AND DISCUSS THE BONUS
Members o! the American Legion
are becoming active in all parts of the
country, over the apparent apathy oi
Congress and the administration tc
the bonus hill. Seattle veterans hail
a rousing mass meeting last week al
which the bonus bill was demanded
passed, and the movement has spread
to Alaska.
The Alaskan veteran has not tin
chance at the bonus the man has win
enlisted in the States, as practical!)
even state has voted a bonus for th^
boys. Alaska has not the money, am
if the veterans are paid anything foi
time spent in the service they mus
depend on the movement.
Jack Henry Post of Anchorage hat
called a mass meeting for tomorrow
night at which the bonus measure wil
be discussed by both soldiers and cit
izeus.
Attention is called to the fact that
at the last election every candidate
against the bonus »vas deieaied. m
the veterans are just awakening tc
the power wielded by the organization
j The bonus has been urged by every
organization in the United States, in
cluding the American Federation of
Labor. The senate has approved thy
| bill three times, but it has been ve
I H>ed by the president.
TELLER NATIVE SHOOTS
SELF IN LEG WITH .30
A native by the name of Pusak, ao
I cidentally shot himself in the leg and
ame near freezing to death following
j ;!'e accident, at Teller .recently. The
! native went with his dog team to vis
it his traps. A fox in one of them tore
loose, and the dog team ran away. In
going over a steep bank the sled wTas
j \ >r turned, the rifle being discharged
striking a hatchet, which bursted from
Mu- impact, a piece striking the na
tive in the leg rendering him uncon
scious. He lay in the snow in this
condition until his face froze. Re
covering consciousness he dragged
himself to his sled, and drove to the
Mission hospital where he is under
treatment. Repeated probings have
failed to find any metal in the wound.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
The town of Sharon, N. H„ that
pays a state tax of but $2 for the one
child living within its borders, was
50 or 60 years ago a thriving commu
nity, with a population somewhere be
tween 400 and 500, significantly points
out the Boston Globe. The last time
its inhabitants were counted they
numbered 0. Where once were culii
vated fields and open pasture lands
the wilderness has resumed its sway
and even farm house sites have been
so nearly obliterated as to be traced
with difficulty or not at all.
