OFFICIALS MAKE COMPLAINT OANNOT OBT HELP— PAYINO THB WAGES—CANT 8EE WHY QIRL8 WONT WORK. The local manager of The H. A. Lattln Co., cloak manufacturers, In an Interview with the writer complains ot the support the people of Amherst are giving their factory In the way of help. The present force la about 17 gtrla and It la claimed that they could use just double this number. They are at a loss to understand why girls will seek work In Blyrla and Lorain at trom $12 to $14 per week and pay car fare when they can make more money ln the local factory. The wages they are paying are comparatively high. They are starting ■ the girls at 23c an hour until they are able'to earn more. The company will raise the wages of the girls without their asking for a raise. They know what each girl Is worth by the work ahe turns out. In almost every Instance the girls have received a raise the second week they have worked at the factory and some of the girls who hare learned t<- do the work the company requires of them and do It rapidly are getting as high aa 3$ cents an hour. One girl In particular by working some overtime drew a check for $42 for two week's work. The local manager says that a better grade of work Is done here than In their Cleveland factory. The glrlB are more particular. They do not get the speed, however, ln doing their work that some of the workers do ln the city. Mr. Lattln has expressed a willingness to ship out fifty machines to tbe Amherst factory if he can get the help to run them. If the company cannot grt more help they cannot afford to keep the local factory running and will have to quit* The amount of work being turned out now does not warrant keeping a high salaried foreman here who knows the business and who ls here to teach the local girls the business of making coats. Tbe Amherst Improvement company has gone to tbe expense of supplying a building and - (rfparlag inducements to the company ■ to locate hem with toetr factory had a^the Lattln company' holds them re- epohatble, largely, for the fact that they cannot get the girls ot Amherst to work tor H. 8. QIRL8 TO PLAY CA8TALIA The high school girls' team will meet the Castalla five at Castalla on Friday night. Castalla Is a little west of Sandusky. It Is not heard of much around these parts of the country but Miss Lydia Heller, an Amherst girl ls teaching there and she tells us that they have a fine team. It's up to tbe Amherst girls to show them, however. The trip will be made In machines. OFFICER PRAISES HOSPITAL WORK 25 CA8E8 HANDLED AT LOCAL INSTITUTION—ONLY ONE REMAINS. "WOMAN" le coming to town. BERT SHOTTON LEAVES FOR CAMP TO BE BIO HELP TO CARDINALS THI8 SEASON—SOME PENNANT HOPES, mwmw Health Officer W- H. Turner praises the work of Miss Leonard, matron ot the local hospital and her assistants for their fine work during the Influenza epidemic. At the local hospital 25 severe cases of Influenza were handled. The rooms were full all the time and on several occasions extra beds had to be obtained for the patients who found It necessary to enter thiv Institution. During this epidemic none of the cases have been fatal and oil the patients declare that they have received excellent care from the force. One case now remains at the hospital. Epidemic About Over. Dr. Turners stated that he thinks the influenza epidemic in Amherst Is about over and all cases of the disease will soon disappear. The health officer should be complimented on the way he bundled the epidemic. It was not allowed to spread and in this vicinity did not reach a dangerous stage. The influenza this year was ln a lighter form than that of a year ago. Some say that many cases were no more than a hard cold, while others declare that they had the genuine influenza. Many people are wondering if the malady will return every year. The larger cities were hit harder in this year's epidemic than the smaller ones It seems. The weather this winter proved that damp, rainy season does not aid the influenza epidemic. This year haa been cold and not favorable for contagious diseases, b/>wever, Amherst has had Ita share of them for the -winter. The Influenza is a disease whlcb does not bother us In the summer, a fact that many people are thankful for. Almost everyone who has been able to keep from catching the disease has some suggestion to offer to that effect. However, the best way to prevent such disease as told by experts Is to get plenty of fresh air, not to overwork yourself, 'and keep away from homes wher the disease is known to be. Dr. Turner also wants to* compliment the people of Amherst in their co-operaUon in helping him to stamp out the disease. DAVEY TAKES STAND ON BONUS^ QUESTION REPRESENTATIVE THINKS SOLDIERS ENTITLED TO EXTRA COMPENSATION. Bert Shotton, the only local man who ls seen in the big league lineups left for St. Louis last Thursday where ha Joined the St. Louis Cardinals, from there the team left for Dallas, Tezaa where it will Indulge ln two exhibition games and from Dallas will go to Brownsville, Texas where the •Cardinals have established its spring training camp. Bert will act in the capacity of assistant manager of tbe team this season. Branch Rickey, manager looks to Shotton aa his right hand man and chief adviser. Shotton manages all Sunday games. Although Bert's knee went bad ln the middle of last season, there Is hope that be will gain his usual form nnd occupy a regular place in left • field ln the lineup of the Cardinals. Up to the time he was hurt last season he was hitting around 300 and among the leading slugers ot the National league. As a fielder he could not be excelled. Only a few errors were made by him in tbe time he played. ' The Cardinals were tall enders last year but hope to finish' in the first berth this year. Several new players have been added to the lineup of the team and It is hoped that they will strengthen it considerable. Shotton haa been ln baseball for many years. He understands the game as well aa any ot the old veterans ln both leagues. His flrst big league career started with the St. Louis Americana. Here he was one ol the beat left fielders ever owned by the team. One year he waa hurt ead waa sold to the Washington club. Here he also played an excellent game to hla usual poaitlon. He was sold again to St. Louis Nationals and haa been with thla team ever since. Branch Rickey, now manager of the, Cardinals waa former manager of the Browns when Bert waa with that team. Hi took a liking to Shotton and has always considered him a first class bell player and one of the beet men en hla team. Tke sport fans of Amherst wish •hotton success tn hla 1820 aaason. STARK OFFERS SERVICES FOR LEGION BENEFIT WORLD'S CHAMPION BAG PUNCHER CAN BE OBTAINED BY NEWS-TIMES. REVENUE MAN HERE MONDAY. A deputy Revenue man will be here Monday, March S to assist the people of this town In making out their income tax reports. His hours will be from 9 a. m. to • p. in. His headquarters will be at the office ot J. J. Smythe. Henry Stark, world champion bag puncher can be obtained for an American Legion Benefit by the News- Times. Mr. Stark says he will donate his services and all proceeds outside of current expenses will be turned over to the local post ot the American Legion. Mr. Stark married an Amherst girl, Miss Wanda Miller, a sister of Christ Miller of this city and Mr. and Mrs,. Stark are visiting here at the present time. During the war, Stark donated his services in 17 different cantonments as physical director. He won much admiration among the soldiers by so doing. Stark won the American championship ln his sport at New York city in 1898. He won the world's championship at London, England also in 1898 and has held the title ever since. He wus formerly a physical director ln the Honolulu Athlotlc club. It ls hoped that the local post will take the chance which would probably net them a nice sum, Mr. Stark is making this offer to us for their benefit because he feels that Amherst is worthy. He feels that this is his home town ln a sense. Ordinarily he gets $50 dollars for an exhibition such as he puts on showing 38 movements ln punching the bag and he offers a $1000 purse to the one who can do all 38 stunts us he directs. Representative Davey. of Ohio 14th District, In the following statement, took a Arm stand ln behalf of the soldiers' bonus legislation: Congress should promptly provide extra compensation for those who served In the armed forces of the United States In the world war. Simple Justice demands It. Fair play calls for It. The war record of the country Justifies It! The self- interest of the nation warrants tt. From the standpoint of Justice, It is obvious that the men who gave (he most and risked the most should not be penalized ln the matter of compensation. Why should four million men be taken away from the plenty and prosperity that abounded everywhere, be sent away to save the nation, give the maximum service and accept the supreme risk of war and then be given little more than a bare uxistence? Where Is the Justice In giving these protectors only a fraction as much as the poorest paid worker at home? Consider the question of fair play. All government civilian workers received bonuses. Justified no duobt, but bonuses Just the same. This Included all the thousands of war workers who flocked to Washington In response to the government's call. Railroad workers received not only large Increases In pay, but many hundreds of millions ln back pay, all of which seemed to be warranted by the rising tide of costs. Munition workers, business men and farmers all profited by the war, and there are no fair men who would have it otherwise. Why, then, should this great, wealthy nation be penurious toward its most vital patriots and heap on them only empty words of praise? Next consider the war record itself. Was It not the greatest achievement in history? Should we forget so soon and reward so poorly those who wrote the name and fame of American so high? Really It seems but a pathetic and unworthy spectacle if we fail to give them simple Justice. Any fair and appreciative business concern in the tstfio ot so wornderrol a record and so generous an attitude toward Its other necessary workers would certainly not penalize those who gave the most and risked the most, for its safety and well-being. Now as to the self-Interest of the nation. These ex-service men represent a cross-section of the whole people. They are a large part of our finest manhood. They represent the greatest and most cohesive force for the security and perpetuity of our great republic. They certainly are the most powerful bulwark against the avowed enemies of this country and against the dangerous poison that is being zealously spread abroad. Is it fair or sensible to leave these noble patriots with nothing to start the battle of life while most of the rest ot us prospered by the war and have every material advantage over those who fought for us? It is ridiculous to follow a policy of contemtlble ingratitude toward the nation's best. Of course a bonus will cost s. lot of money. Of course it will have to be paid in taxes. But would any man deny the Justice and fair play because it will cost some money out ot the abundance of the national wealth? We discharge this obvious debt and do It with the utmost willingness and promptness. The most'distressing feature ot tbe whole bonus situation is the apparent effort of the czars ln Congress to delay action month after month. It looks us though they were endeavoring to kill It. But this situation, I believe, cunnot lust much longer. There Is a strong and increasing Insurgent element in the House that is determined to get action. I am confident that this element will force action If It does not come otherwise. In fact, it appears that this Insistent demand is already bearing fruit which gives promise of definite results before long. There is now hope that the greatest nation ou earth, the wealthiest people ln the world, the most wonderful government that ever sprang from the brain oi' man will pay Its manifest debt In substantial form to those who preserved and augmented our greatness, protected and made secure our wealth and defended and pereptuated our government. LEGION PLANS FOR ANOTHER DANCE MEETING HELD TUESDAY EVENING—COMMITTEES APPOINTED. The local post Ot American Legion held an Important meeting at Its club- rooms Tuesday evening. At this meeting the regular business of the organization was taken care of. Henry Hammlll will now met as head of the membership committee because of the resignation of Dr. Miller, who recently left town. Plan for Big Danoe. The Legion is already making plans for another big dance to be given at Redington hull April It. Committees were appointed at the Tuesday meeting. The chairmen ot committees are as follows: ' Advertising—C. B. Avery. Refreshment—Henry Hammlll. Ball—Frank Smith. Ticket—Edward Moeblus. The committees will get together soon and final preparations will be made. The famous Rosenthal's orchestra of Cleveland which furnished the greut music at tho last Legftin dance will ngohi make Its appearance at Redington hall. The orchestra alone will draw a big crowd. One is safe in saying that It wus the best orchestra that ever played in this town. The members of the Legion say that the dance (lends of Amherst can rest assured that the coming affair will be as successful ea the last one. It is not goihg to be the plan to make It so elaborate, but It will be a great dance Just the same. The Legion is also laying plans for a Minstrel show whtah will be given here ln the near future. The members ot tela Legion memorial committee wiU meet with the members of the town memorial committee'and act with fnSn. The Legion is the flrst organization in town that has done anything about a soldier memorial. They have several hundred dollars already raised but want the help of the rest of the town to put the thing across. It is the wish of the Legion to build some sort of memorial where the soldiers may have club rooms. They are much enthused about the matter and trust that the rest of the town will work as hard as they are willing to, for the success of the project. AMHERST TEAMS SPLIT WITH CLARK MUNYS LITTLE DECIDES WHERE HE WILL LOCATE GIRLS LOSE 34-4 TO CHAMPS, WHILE BOYS WIN 4844. The Amherst Furniture basketball lives split even with Ihe Clark Muny basketball teams at the local gym last Friday night, tbe girls losing 34 to 4 and the boys winning 48 to 34. The Amherst girls played their best game of the season, but the splendid teamwork and shooting ability of the Clarks was too much for them. The visiting girls are now contenders for the World's championship and only have the^Wlllard Independents to play to claim the title. Although Ihe Furnitures were outclassed they played a fast game and should be given much credit for holding u teum such us the Clarks to the low score of 34. The local girls, although they did not hope to win, with the record of the Clarks, did not quit fighting for their existence until the last and gave the Clevelanders a run for every point they made. ' Boys' Game a Close One. The boys' game was different trom the standpoint of the Furnitures. It was far from a walk-away, but was u good, close game, one of the best that ever has been played ln the local gym. It could be easily seen that the Cleveland team hated to lose to a team from a town the size of Amherst and when they arrived at the gym they had every hope of winning. But at that time they did not know the ability of the Amherst players. They have no alibi to offer. It was played on a real floor and the refereelng was good. Amherst outplayed them. Thut is all thnt eun be suid on their part. The game was fast and a lot of unintentional rough playing was evident. The Amherst players wished to show that their team was the best and could keep tbe score In Its favor at the finish. The scores ran close together all the time until the last quarter when the Amherst players, especially Mitchell and Bruce began to pile up the points and the Amherst guards were able to keep the Clevelanders from shooting. It ls the case most every time with tbe Furniture team that is plays better in the last half. Sometimes the other team's score is even larger than theirs. They then grit their teeth and determine to win, which they most always do. "WOMAN" Is coming to town.

DENNING OF GAS CO. TESTIFIES BEFORE UTILITIES COMMISSION. That gas shortage Is not a myth, but a reality and that the condition is rendered doubly acute because of the shortage nml high price of other fuel, including coal, was the testimony of I. II. in*iiiilng, Pittsburgh. secretary of The Ohio Fuel Supply compuny before the state utilities ln the matter of the purchase by his company of the Logan Natural Oas nnd Fuel company's interests in Logan. The testimony of Mr. Denning was startling in thst it revealed that Columbus, during Nov and Dec, 1919 and Jan, 11*20. received almost the volume per consumer that any other community In Ohio reoelved and brought out clearly that the program of gus conservation Is necessary. Mr. Denning called attention to the fact thut when communities receiving half the supply per consumer finds Its supply adequate, there must be something wrong with the distribution in Columbus und suggested that guruges. office buildings, dance halls nnd lnrge residences might be responsible for the shortuge to the purely domestic consumer. The Log,in Natural Uas company has strictly adhered to the order of the commission regulating industrial gus during the period of gas shortage and announces that its books are open for inspection to prove the assertion. Its present program, as announced. Is to further reduce the use of gas to large consumers by placing the burden of the cost upon those who use more thun the ordinary domestic consumer. K. 0. Krick. vice president of the Logan, under outh, told the commission thut the pressure over the Logan system has been uniform, despite the rates puid und explained that the most serious shortage- occurs in municipalities furthest away from the supply.

MAY OPEN RULING MADE BY TREASURY DEPARTMENT TO ALLOW OTHER 8TATION8. EVERYONE GAY A8 ROBINS APPEAR FARMER8 PLAN FOR SPRING. Through a new ruling Just Issued by the Treasury department, sales stations other than banks and postoffices tor the sale of War Savings stamps may be established in Ohio. In order to forstall the efforts of scalpers special sales ugencles will be given proper credentials by the treasury department. Such Identification cards may be obtained by persons, firms, associations and corporations establishing sales stations upon application to the nearest postmaster. Success of the 1920 Savings Stamp campaign In Ohio was early indicated By the sale during January of nearly $2,000,000 worth ot government securities. The sale of Treasury Savings certificates of the $100 denomination alone amounted to more than ll.OSO.000. Spring Is on its way or at least everyone thinks it is. The snow on the streets and sidewalks has commenced to melt and muny other signs make the weuther forcuster believe that Old King Winter hus resigned and abdicated as ull good kings should. However, one cannot depend on any weather forecasts this year. Many times people have been mistaken. Residents say that they have seen robins ln the trees of their yards. The winter this year has been a long and steady one. Snow was on the ground from the 16th of December and hus not yet disappeared entirely. No warm spells were enjoyed within that period. There was ojie heuvy snow storm the first of January. Because of this storm trafflce was generally tied up. The roads were impassable but the trains and inter urbans managed to run quite regularly. Business wus slack in all ot the local stores during that time. Many People In Town. Now that the roads are getting passable the farmers are coming to town. The streets are crowded nearly every afternoon with buggies and automobiles belonging to the agriculturalists. There is not much danger ot flood or other damages from the melting ot slow. It has melted gradually. Real spring weather will probably not be enjoyed until the flrst of April, but everyone hopes to get a touch of tt during March. The Amherst high school basketball lives lost to Wellington at Wellington last Friday night, the girls losing 9 to 8 und the boys 21 to 17. The girls gume was clohe. Amherst was ahead all through until the last minute when u streak of luck struck one of the Wellington forwards und she managed to toss the sphere into the busket which put Wellington into the leud. There can be uo criticising of the girls' playing. They played the game hard and lost. They were unlucky ut shooting field goals und II was a rare occasion when one of the Amherst forwards did drop the bull In for two points. Too Bad to Lose Boys. The boys lost a hurd luck gume. There is nothing to be suid ubout the gume in the flrst hull'. Wellington completely outpluyed Amherst. The Amherst players acted us if they were asleep. The Wellington live was full of confidence ut the end of the flrst period und had the ideu thut they were going to wulk awuy with us by u much larger score ut the finish. Hut then the Amherst pluyers commences to play basketball. The teum got up Its nerve and only allowed the Wellington team to muke six points in that half. But In the meantime- Amherst kept adding to its score, making 14 points In thut hull. The Wellington team in the lust few minutes wus beginning to worry and thought it was going against them but the time did- not last long enough uud Amherst had to go off' the floor u defeuted team. It is no disgrace, however. Hearn mude IS of the 17 points for Amherst. His luck was poor in the flrst half but he found himself the second and wus the worry of Wellington. He also kept his opponent, He Vler from making a busket. Solida was the "big gun" of the opponents. Amherst guards found it hard to stop him from scoring In the R. L. Petty or Klyria became manuger of the Amherst News company Monday succeeding K. A. Little, who recently resigned to accept a position ln Michigan. Mr. Petty has found favorable conditions ln his short time here and is sure that he will like the town and the people living here.

While in Amherst Mr. Petty wishes lo give the people here his best. He wants to make the News company as successful us it hus been in the past six months und if possible even more. He expects to And many difficulties at first but is sure he will ovecome these in a short time. Likes Town. Mr. Petty suys thut he likes the town und ls sure thut he will like equally as well the people dwelling here. He hopes to meet ull of them in due time. With a man such as Mr. Petty at tbe heud of the only newspaper and jnli oitie-e in Amherst, he realizes his responsibility aud he will make a great effort to carry out the program outlined by the former editor, Mr. Little und in;.k«- the business grow and prosper uud lu turn help tbe town In every possible wuy. Mr. Petty expects to move here from Klyritt about April 1st. flrst half, but ufter the intermission when Couch Powers had talked to tha team together, he made few points. The Wellington team got what they wishes!—victory. Amherst cVefeuted both their teams here December 27 and there was a great deal of rivalry between the two schools as to this gume. It was the wish of the Amherst teum to defeat them this time but hopes were shot and we were compelled to taste defeat. imam**- ,: *-'*SHB3B ' i e <''•*'■ • ■*..»♦■■■ ill 'ilinm. mamaaen >i.a»a>i aJt.^ta.. -••-*"ij- \tmmi„*\.L*,4

OFFICIALS MAKE COMPLAINT OANNOT OBT HELP— PAYINO THB WAGES—CANT 8EE WHY QIRL8 WONT WORK. The local manager of The H. A. Lattln Co., cloak manufacturers, In an Interview with the writer complains ot the support the people of Amherst are giving their factory In the way of help. The present force la about 17 gtrla and It la claimed that they could use just double this number. They are at a loss to understand why girls will seek work In Blyrla and Lorain at trom $12 to $14 per week and pay car fare when they can make more money ln the local factory. The wages they are paying are comparatively high. They are starting ■ the girls at 23c an hour until they are able'to earn more. The company will raise the wages of the girls without their asking for a raise. They know what each girl Is worth by the work ahe turns out. In almost every Instance the girls have received a raise the second week they have worked at the factory and some of the girls who hare learned t<- do the work the company requires of them and do It rapidly are getting as high aa 3$ cents an hour. One girl In particular by working some overtime drew a check for $42 for two week's work. The local manager says that a better grade of work Is done here than In their Cleveland factory. The glrlB are more particular. They do not get the speed, however, ln doing their work that some of the workers do ln the city. Mr. Lattln has expressed a willingness to ship out fifty machines to tbe Amherst factory if he can get the help to run them. If the company cannot grt more help they cannot afford to keep the local factory running and will have to quit* The amount of work being turned out now does not warrant keeping a high salaried foreman here who knows the business and who ls here to teach the local girls the business of making coats. Tbe Amherst Improvement company has gone to tbe expense of supplying a building and - (rfparlag inducements to the company ■ to locate hem with toetr factory had a^the Lattln company' holds them re- epohatble, largely, for the fact that they cannot get the girls ot Amherst to work tor H. 8.

It Is not heard of much around these parts of the country but Miss Lydia Heller, an Amherst girl ls teaching there and she tells us that they have a fine team.

Dr. Turners stated that he thinks the influenza epidemic in Amherst Is about over and all cases of the disease will soon disappear. The health officer should be complimented on the way he bundled the epidemic. It was not allowed to spread and in this vicinity did not reach a dangerous stage. The influenza this year was ln a lighter form than that of a year ago. Some say that many cases were no more than a hard cold, while others declare that they had the genuine influenza. Many people are wondering if the malady will return every year. The larger cities were hit harder in this year's epidemic than the smaller ones It seems. The weather this winter proved that damp, rainy season does not aid the influenza epidemic. This year haa been cold and not favorable for contagious diseases, b/>wever, Amherst has had Ita share of them for the -winter. The Influenza is a disease whlcb does not bother us In the summer, a fact that many people are thankful for. Almost everyone who has been able to keep from catching the disease has some suggestion to offer to that effect. However, the best way to prevent such disease as told by experts Is to get plenty of fresh air, not to overwork yourself, 'and keep away from homes wher the disease is known to be. Dr. Turner also wants to* compliment the people of Amherst in their co-operaUon in helping him to stamp out the disease.

STARK OFFERS SERVICES FOR LEGION BENEFIT WORLD'S CHAMPION BAG PUNCHER CAN BE OBTAINED BY NEWS-TIMES. REVENUE MAN HERE MONDAY. A deputy Revenue man will be here Monday, March S to assist the people of this town In making out their income tax reports. His hours will be from 9 a. m. to • p. in. His headquarters will be at the office ot J. J. Smythe. Henry Stark, world champion bag puncher can be obtained for an American Legion Benefit by the News- Times. Mr. Stark says he will donate his services and all proceeds outside of current expenses will be turned over to the local post ot the American Legion. Mr. Stark married an Amherst girl, Miss Wanda Miller, a sister of Christ Miller of this city and Mr. and Mrs,. Stark are visiting here at the present time. During the war, Stark donated his services in 17 different cantonments as physical director. He won much admiration among the soldiers by so doing. Stark won the American championship ln his sport at New York city in 1898. He won the world's championship at London, England also in 1898 and has held the title ever since. He wus formerly a physical director ln the Honolulu Athlotlc club. It ls hoped that the local post will take the chance which would probably net them a nice sum, Mr. Stark is making this offer to us for their benefit because he feels that Amherst is worthy. He feels that this is his home town ln a sense. Ordinarily he gets $50 dollars for an exhibition such as he puts on showing 38 movements ln punching the bag and he offers a $1000 purse to the one who can do all 38 stunts us he directs. Representative Davey. of Ohio 14th District, In the following statement, took a Arm stand ln behalf of the soldiers' bonus legislation: Congress should promptly provide extra compensation for those who served In the armed forces of the United States In the world war. Simple Justice demands It. Fair play calls for It. The war record of the country Justifies It! The self- interest of the nation warrants tt. From the standpoint of Justice, It is obvious that the men who gave (he most and risked the most should not be penalized ln the matter of compensation. Why should four million men be taken away from the plenty and prosperity that abounded everywhere, be sent away to save the nation, give the maximum service and accept the supreme risk of war and then be given little more than a bare uxistence? Where Is the Justice In giving these protectors only a fraction as much as the poorest paid worker at home? Consider the question of fair play. All government civilian workers received bonuses. Justified no duobt, but bonuses Just the same. This Included all the thousands of war workers who flocked to Washington In response to the government's call. Railroad workers received not only large Increases In pay, but many hundreds of millions ln back pay, all of which seemed to be warranted by the rising tide of costs. Munition workers, business men and farmers all profited by the war, and there are no fair men who would have it otherwise. Why, then, should this great, wealthy nation be penurious toward its most vital patriots and heap on them only empty words of praise? Next consider the war record itself. Was It not the greatest achievement in history? Should we forget so soon and reward so poorly those who wrote the name and fame of American so high? Really It seems but a pathetic and unworthy spectacle if we fail to give them simple Justice. Any fair and appreciative business concern in the tstfio ot so wornderrol a record and so generous an attitude toward Its other necessary workers would certainly not penalize those who gave the most and risked the most, for its safety and well-being. Now as to the self-Interest of the nation. These ex-service men represent a cross-section of the whole people. They are a large part of our finest manhood. They represent the greatest and most cohesive force for the security and perpetuity of our great republic. They certainly are the most powerful bulwark against the avowed enemies of this country and against the dangerous poison that is being zealously spread abroad. Is it fair or sensible to leave these noble patriots with nothing to start the battle of life while most of the rest ot us prospered by the war and have every material advantage over those who fought for us? It is ridiculous to follow a policy of contemtlble ingratitude toward the nation's best. Of course a bonus will cost s. lot of money. Of course it will have to be paid in taxes. But would any man deny the Justice and fair play because it will cost some money out ot the abundance of the national wealth? We discharge this obvious debt and do It with the utmost willingness and promptness. The most'distressing feature ot tbe whole bonus situation is the apparent effort of the czars ln Congress to delay action month after month. It looks us though they were endeavoring to kill It. But this situation, I believe, cunnot lust much longer. There Is a strong and increasing Insurgent element in the House that is determined to get action. I am confident that this element will force action If It does not come otherwise. In fact, it appears that this Insistent demand is already bearing fruit which gives promise of definite results before long. There is now hope that the greatest nation ou earth, the wealthiest people ln the world, the most wonderful government that ever sprang from the brain oi' man will pay Its manifest debt In substantial form to those who preserved and augmented our greatness, protected and made secure our wealth and defended and pereptuated our government. LEGION PLANS FOR ANOTHER DANCE MEETING HELD TUESDAY EVENING—COMMITTEES APPOINTED. The local post Ot American Legion held an Important meeting at Its club- rooms Tuesday evening. At this meeting the regular business of the organization was taken care of. Henry Hammlll will now met as head of the membership committee because of the resignation of Dr. Miller, who recently left town. Plan for Big Danoe.

One is safe in saying that It wus the best orchestra that ever played in this town. The members of the Legion say that the dance (lends of Amherst can rest assured that the coming affair will be as successful ea the last one. It is not goihg to be the plan to make It so elaborate, but It will be a great dance Just the same. The Legion is also laying plans for a Minstrel show whtah will be given here ln the near future. The members ot tela Legion memorial committee wiU meet with the members of the town memorial committee'and act with fnSn. The Legion is the flrst organization in town that has done anything about a soldier memorial. They have several hundred dollars already raised but want the help of the rest of the town to put the thing across. It is the wish of the Legion to build some sort of memorial where the soldiers may have club rooms. They are much enthused about the matter and trust that the rest of the town will work as hard as they are willing to, for the success of the project. AMHERST TEAMS SPLIT WITH CLARK MUNYS LITTLE DECIDES WHERE HE WILL LOCATE GIRLS LOSE 34-4 TO CHAMPS, WHILE BOYS WIN 4844. The Amherst Furniture basketball lives split even with Ihe Clark Muny basketball teams at the local gym last Friday night, tbe girls losing 34 to 4 and the boys winning 48 to 34. The Amherst girls played their best game of the season, but the splendid teamwork and shooting ability of the Clarks was too much for them. The visiting girls are now contenders for the World's championship and only have the^Wlllard Independents to play to claim the title. Although Ihe Furnitures were outclassed they played a fast game and should be given much credit for holding u teum such us the Clarks to the low score of 34. The local girls, although they did not hope to win, with the record of the Clarks, did not quit fighting for their existence until the last and gave the Clevelanders a run for every point they made. ' Boys' Game a Close One. The boys' game was different trom the standpoint of the Furnitures. It was far from a walk-away, but was u good, close game, one of the best that ever has been played ln the local gym. It could be easily seen that the Cleveland team hated to lose to a team from a town the size of Amherst and when they arrived at the gym they had every hope of winning. But at that time they did not know the ability of the Amherst players. They have no alibi to offer. It was played on a real floor and the refereelng was good. Amherst outplayed them. Thut is all thnt eun be suid on their part. The game was fast and a lot of unintentional rough playing was evident. The Amherst players wished to show that their team was the best and could keep tbe score In Its favor at the finish. The scores ran close together all the time until the last quarter when the Amherst players, especially Mitchell and Bruce began to pile up the points and the Amherst guards were able to keep the Clevelanders from shooting. It ls the case most every time with tbe Furniture team that is plays better in the last half. Sometimes the other team's score is even larger than theirs. They then grit their teeth and determine to win, which they most always do. "WOMAN" Is coming to town.

DENNING OF GAS CO. TESTIFIES BEFORE UTILITIES COMMISSION. That gas shortage Is not a myth, but a reality and that the condition is rendered doubly acute because of the shortage nml high price of other fuel, including coal, was the testimony of I. II. in*iiiilng, Pittsburgh. secretary of The Ohio Fuel Supply compuny before the state utilities ln the matter of the purchase by his company of the Logan Natural Oas nnd Fuel company's interests in Logan. The testimony of Mr. Denning was startling in thst it revealed that Columbus, during Nov and Dec, 1919 and Jan, 11*20. received almost the volume per consumer that any other community In Ohio reoelved and brought out clearly that the program of gus conservation Is necessary. Mr. Denning called attention to the fact thut when communities receiving half the supply per consumer finds Its supply adequate, there must be something wrong with the distribution in Columbus und suggested that guruges. office buildings, dance halls nnd lnrge residences might be responsible for the shortuge to the purely domestic consumer. The Log,in Natural Uas company has strictly adhered to the order of the commission regulating industrial gus during the period of gas shortage and announces that its books are open for inspection to prove the assertion. Its present program, as announced. Is to further reduce the use of gas to large consumers by placing the burden of the cost upon those who use more thun the ordinary domestic consumer. K. 0. Krick. vice president of the Logan, under outh, told the commission thut the pressure over the Logan system has been uniform, despite the rates puid und explained that the most serious shortage- occurs in municipalities furthest away from the supply.

Through a new ruling Just Issued by the Treasury department, sales stations other than banks and postoffices tor the sale of War Savings stamps may be established in Ohio.

Such Identification cards may be obtained by persons, firms, associations and corporations establishing sales stations upon application to the nearest postmaster. Success of the 1920 Savings Stamp campaign In Ohio was early indicated By the sale during January of nearly $2,000,000 worth ot government securities. The sale of Treasury Savings certificates of the $100 denomination alone amounted to more than ll.OSO.000. Spring Is on its way or at least everyone thinks it is. The snow on the streets and sidewalks has commenced to melt and muny other signs make the weuther forcuster believe that Old King Winter hus resigned and abdicated as ull good kings should. However, one cannot depend on any weather forecasts this year. Many times people have been mistaken. Residents say that they have seen robins ln the trees of their yards. The winter this year has been a long and steady one. Snow was on the ground from the 16th of December and hus not yet disappeared entirely. No warm spells were enjoyed within that period. There was ojie heuvy snow storm the first of January. Because of this storm trafflce was generally tied up. The roads were impassable but the trains and inter urbans managed to run quite regularly. Business wus slack in all ot the local stores during that time. Many People In Town. Now that the roads are getting passable the farmers are coming to town. The streets are crowded nearly every afternoon with buggies and automobiles belonging to the agriculturalists. There is not much danger ot flood or other damages from the melting ot slow. It has melted gradually. Real spring weather will probably not be enjoyed until the flrst of April, but everyone hopes to get a touch of tt during March.
