Large Crowd Hear
Major Howell On
Bonus Question
The local Post o The American
I.epion held its.rejrular monthly meet,
inp la,-t Monday niprht. This was a
special meeting in that the public was
invited to attend to hear Major Howell
speak on the bonus, question.'
A large number of visitrirs from
out of town attended, among them
was a delegation from Canton. So
inspiring was the talk that Major
Howell made, that he was invited to
give the same talk at Canton in the
near future.
The only business transacted 'at the
meeting was adopting the resolution
to be sent to Congressman .Weaver
and Senators Bailey and Morrison,
asking for the full payment of the
balance of the bonus money , and if
not all at least $50 per month to each
member until each membe receives
the balance due him, If neither of
these requests are granted the Legion
ask that the interest on what they
have already drawn be eliminated.

ere's Reply To The Few Subscribers
That Are "Peeved" At This Newspaper
long with the hundreds of jokes wouldv have been published. It was
news.-. .
The subscribers that took exception
to the prank are the losers. The Moun
taineer is the richer by th 2 article,
in that it proves more than ever that
this papnr is read far and wide and
that practically every word i s read.
If these "peeved" subscribers, just
a few in aumber, are trying to prove
their loyalty to their party they are
going at it in the wrong way a true
politician is one that can take a joke,
especially like the one referred to,
make the most of it, and m return,
get one 'just t a little better on hw
opponent.
