DEPENDENTS OF SOLDIERS.
Ruling From Gen. Crowder Gives In
formation on AllotmentA

The following is ruling from the
Office of Provost Marshal General
Crowder at Washington, and gives
information specifically applied to
family allowances, allotments, COM
rensation and insurance for mil
itary and naval forces Of the
United States, which General Crowder
says, will have an important bear
ing on decisions on exemption claims
on the ground of dependents:
The United States has made a
generous provision for those de-
pendent upon it's soldiers during the
present war. The base pay of the
soldier ranges from $50 to s105 per
month while serving within the
limits of the United States; on
foreign service, he is allowed 20 per
cent additional.
ANY soldier may make an allot-
ment in favor of the dependent rela-
tives by filling out the simple blank
furnishing his company or detachment
commander for the purpose: The
depot quartermaster, Washington,
D. c., pays this allotment direct to
the dependent relatives without
further action on the soldiers part.
"The law compels an allotment of
not more than one-half of the SOL
dier's pay and not less than SIS per
month, for those dependent upon him
for support. In addition to this he
may voluntarily allot such portion of
his pay as he sees fit. The soldier
whose pay is only $50, can, without
hardship, spare at least $25 per
month. A soldiers allotment must
be equal to the family allowance
noted in paragraph below, if one
half or less than one-half of his pay
will equal it.
"The following allowances have
also been made to those dependent
upon soldiers:
"(a) A wife alone SIS per month.
"(b) A wife and one child, SIS
per month.
"(c) Wife and two children
$3.50 per month, with SIS per month
for each additional child.
"(d) There are also allowances
provided for a soldiers children if he
has no wife, and under certain condi-
tions allowances are made to parents
grandparents and dependent brothers
and sisters.
Gas an example let us consider a
soldier with a dependent wife and
child, the soldiers pay being $50 per
month; the government allowance is
s25, the compulsory allotment is SIS,
a total of $40 per month. In addition
to this the soldier can by slight self
denial a1lot an additional SO per
month, making the total monthly pay
ment to his. wife and child $50.
"The United States also provides
insurance for the \soldier up to the
amount of $4,000, Inc premium
is much lower than that charged by
life insurance companies in time of
peace. Any soldier can afford a pol
icy for $4,000, and should be able
to afford one for $4,000, thus, in
case of death, guaranteeing to his
dependents an annual income of $500
a year.
monthly compensation is also pro-
vided for those dependent upon SOL
der in case he dies or Is disabled.
This compensation is in addition to
any benefit derived from insurance" "

Prosperity Abounds.

The fiscal year ending June 30th,
1917. was one of amazing growth in
the development of Southern manu-
featuring and agricultural pursuits.
New plants completed during the
year in the eight states of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida Alabama, MISS
issippi and Louisiana were as fol-
lows: Brick, tile, etc., 30, cannerles'
90, cheese factory, 1, chemical, II,
cotton seed products, ginneries, etc.
20, creameries, 8, fertilizer 7, -four
and feed, "A, furniture, Is, iron
products, 81, lumber, 145, power
Developments, ~, stone, coal, min
eral. etc., 81, tannery, L, textile,
clothing, etc., 90, woodworking, 33,
and miscellaneous, 226, making
total of 7S7.
That is a marvellous record, but
the government statistics also show
the. current year to be one of great
prosperity for Southern farmers.
With the exception of oats, which
were damaged by the unusually
severe frosts in the spring, yields
OF all crops compare most favorably
with those of 1915. The September
1st estimates of the United States
department of agriculture show the
following increase for the present
year over 1916 in the yield of the
various crops in the eight states
above mentioned: Cotton, increase
1,0s0,635 bales; corn, 1s1,1O6'Ooo
bushels; tobacco, 6S,117,000 pounds;
Irish potatoes, 6,923,00o bushels;
sweet potatoes, 16,491, 900 bushels;
peaches, 3,e11, 900 bushels. The only
crops showing decrease from 1916
are wheat, decrease, $4,000 bushels
oats, 1s,5s5,O00 bushels, and apples,
100000 bushels.
In addition to the above crops
there have been large increases IN
the yield of certain other crops for
which statistics are not gathered by
the AGRICULTURAL department OF the
government. According to con-
seryative estimate 100000 acres
of velvet beans have been grown IN
the eight states herein mentioned
this year, this being an increase IN
