BONUS FOR OFFICERS
ON COAST VESSELS

Washington, June 18-The pres
ence of German submarines on the
Atlantic coast has impeI1ed the
United States Shipping Board to give
bonuses to the licensed officers of YES
sells in coastwise trade. They are to
receive hereafter a rs per cent. in
crease in their pay for Drawing the u
boats, and it is probable that this
increase will be extended to the
crews.
Up to the time that the U.boats be-
gan to threaten coastwise shipping
no bonuses were given. The officers,
however, had asked it and the mat
ter came to a point on Friday where
a decision had to be made. News
was received while the Wage Adjust
ment Commission was in session that
another ship had been sunk and that
settled the matter.
Under the agreement masters of
first class ships will receive $500 a
month, and a scale has been adopted
which will give a substantial increase
to the licensed officers in the coast
wise feet. In addition to this in
crease there will be a rs per cent
bonus for all ships engaged in the
eoastwise, West Indies, and South and
Central American trade. This is half
of the bonus granted those who ven
ture into the transatlantic service.
Officers of the coastwise fleet asked
a bonus at least a month ago in ex-
pectation of the submarine raids on
shipping on this side of the Atlantic.
1t was refused at that time.

DON'T VISIT THE FARMER.

IF you have friends who live on a
farm make it a point, for this sum-
mer at least, not to visit them with
tion," says an editorial in the July
Womans Home Companion. DO not
take the car and run out to the
Smiths farm for dinner on Sunday
because you know the Smiths have
plenty of broilers and sweet corn, IN
less Mrs. Smith has asked, nay, urg-
ed you to come. Do not leave the
hot city and go to Cousin Johns in
the country for your vacation, taking
your three children and expecting
free board and plenty of it, unless
you can do work enough on the farm
to compensate Cousin John and his
wife for your presence and also I'M
less they ask you to come.
For this year a great and terrible
responsibility lies on the farmer-he
must feed the world. He must use
all his energy to raise a crop that will
supply not only ourselves, but much
of the needs of our allies, who are
doing the larger share of the fight
! ing.

ly his wife) have been great sufferers
from unlimited visitors, who come ~
