Important to Soldiers

Thousands of soldiers and their
heirs are entitled to money under
ACT of March 4. 1907, and new
decisions as follows:
Let. Certain soldiers who en-
listed for two and three years, or
from April 2. to July II, 1864
and who were not entitled under
any previous law, can now get the
500 bounty allowed under ACT of
July %, 1866, if they have not
received it.
2ud. Officers whose pay claims
were adjudioated subsequent to
July l, 1870, can now collect the
war tax deducted when their cases
were settled.
Bird. 1t has heretofore been the
practice of the department to allow
only that part of the money due
that was actually mentioned by
the soldier in his application; that
is if be applied for bounty, and
there was anything else due, it was
not paid. There is. therefore, 9
large amount of money due to
soldiers and their heirs under new
rulings and decisions, which can
be had upon application.
The ACT of March 4. 1907, re.
ferred to, is simply an appropria.
ton act pr vidipg money for pay.
msnt. The claims sre allowed
under decision of Court.
l have special form of applioa
tion that will cover ell claims M
lder this ACT, and will gladly assisf
, any old soldier OF his heirs who are
entitled.
Respectfully,
D. W. Brown.

Primary Department Booster.

Carl Nelson, superintendent OF
the Junior Christian Endeavor
league of the United Evangelical
church, has inaugurated a novel
plan to interest his little tots in the
work of their society, He gives to
each member seven white and seven
black beans and asks the parent to
make a small bag-and each night
20 put in or allow the child to put
into the bag either white or a
black bean, as the child has been
good or otherwise during that day.
A record is kept on a card showing
the number of each kind OF beans
deposited, together with the num-
Der of pennies brought to Junior
meetings. These cards are tackled
upon the wall at the end OF each
month. and a suitable reward given
for a clear record.
We believe this is the best
method to encourage good behavior
and attendance we have known for
either junior or Sunday school pri-
mary pupils, and give IT the prom
inence here we think it deserves.
