About Shoes

~ DON'T GET EXCITED about our prices
on shoes. The press notices in some instances
have given out the idea that $500 and up
shoes are in sight, which is all myth. There
have always been $3.50 shoes and about one
person in every ten thousand would pay this
price,
There. have always been $1,000 and
$500 shoes and numbers of persons would
buy these shoes, possibly because they
matched dress" or for some other .impor-
tant reason.
There have always been shoes for dress

$60.00 Bonus To
 Be Paid To Soldiers

Sec. 14J6 of the Revenue Act approved Feb. 24, 1919. author izes the payment of a bonus of $6O to officers, soldiers. field clerks and nurses of the army upon honorable separation from active service. by discharge or otherwise. This bonus is not payable to the heirs or represent atives of any deceased soldier.
 Those who are discharged hereafter will receive this bonus on the same roll or voucher upon which they are paid their final pay.
 Those who have been discharg- ed and have received their final pay without the $6O.N bonus. should write . letter to Zone Finance Officer. Lemon Building. Washington. D. c. stating their service since April 6. 1917, the date of last discharge and their present address to which they desire their bonus checks to be sent and enclosing with this let ter their discharge certificate or military order for discharge and both, if both were issued.
 Upon the receipt by the Zone Finance Officer of this informa- tion and the soldiers discharge certificate, this officer will cause checks to be drawn and mailed to the claimants in the order in which their claims were received by him. The discharge cer- tificate will be returned to the soldier with the check.
 All aolGiers who have been discharged since April 6, 1917. are entitled to this $6O bonus. It is estimatsd that at least one million and a quarter persons have been discharged from the service who are entitled to the benefits of this Act and while payments will be made as expe- ditiously as practicable, it will manifestly take considerable time to write and mail this many hecks.

The ground is just a network of trenches, with dug.outs along them. l have seen the old Hin- denburg Line. It is sure some sight to see. There are lots of concrete dug outs and machine gun pits along the line. l have seen the house where the pres ident of France was born. It Is sure a fine house. The grave yards here are pretty: all kinds of fancy tombstones and fancy artificial flowers .onsthem. We have several kinds of entertain ments here at the Y M. C. A.
