Says Attorney General

SEVERAL APPLY FOR AID
ALLOWANCE BY BOARD

st. Paul, Nov. 1S.-Only Mime
sofa service men OF their widows can
share In the $2o,o00,000 state SOL
diers' bonus fund under the bonus
law, according to an opinion given
by Attorney General Hilton. An
other ruling is that bonus allowances
should be computed by calendar
month.
The -soldiers' bonus board was
called to consider the refusal Of Ad-
jutant General p. c. Harris of Wash
ington to sanction an arrangement
under which war department records
were to be furnished to enable to
bonus board to pass on claims.
Whether the board will establish
bylnch offices in Warrington to col
let this information or attempt again
IS obtain the necessary sanction was
to be decided.
Deserted Ones Cannot Share.
Deserted wives and other depend
ents Of Minnesota service men can
not lawfully collect or delay. action
on any. bonux claims BY the board,
it,was .annrunced, following the-serv-
ice of many notices asking the board
to aid deserted wives md other de.
pendents to obtain bonus allowances
under various applications. -
The opinion that only the service
men themselves or their widows may
share in the state fund was given
by A. F.. Pratt, assistant attorney
general. Mrs. Anna Sibley, 3113
Second street north, Minneapolis,
was advised that the mothers Of de-
ceased soldiers are not entitled to
receive the bonus which the soldiers
might be allowed if living. Mrs. Sib-
ley said that her son, after working
as railroad fireman and helping to
educate his sisters, enlisted Novem-
Der 6, 1917, and was killed in an air.
plane fall last July.
Inquiry From Erdahl.
The ruling that only the soldier,
or, in case of his death, his widow,
if he left one, is entitled to the bonus
under Minnesota laws, was addressed
to H. O. Wagner Of Erdahl, who in
quired at the request of parents of
an Erdahl man who was killed in
France.
"The term of service under the
bonus law will be computed in
months and days, regarding as one
month the period Of time from the
date of enlistment to, but not in
cluding, the corresponding day Of the
following calendar month";" w. Yale
Smiley, bonus board secretary. said
after obtaining the attorney generals
opinion.
For example, he explained, where
an applicant enlisted on February
20, 1913, and was discharged on
November 20, 1918, he served nine
months and one day, and is regarded
as being entitled. to a cash bonus of
$50, or for ten months at the fixed
rate of SIS a month.

9. What physical examination is
necessary?
"A. "A physical examination is
prescribed, Some idea of the ques-
tions asked can be secured from look
ing at the blanks that are in the
hands of the recruiting committee.
The examination is not as strong as
that imposed by the regular army.
@. We cannot see why union labor
should oppose the national guard as
it has been shown where ever the
guard has been called out that it
operates as much in favor of the
strikers as the employers. The OBJ
ject Of the guard is to protect prop
erty and it is to the interests Of hte
strikers to see that property is pro-
tected.
A. Your communication is along
the lines of our answer last evening
to a question regarding union labor's
attitude. We feel that the union
men look at the matter in this light
after having it explained to them.
Q. How long has Bemidji to or
ganize the company in?
A. No time limit was set but it
is understood that unless suitable
progress is made within the next ten
days that the invitation will be with
drawn and another city offered the
vacancy now existing. In such a
case it would be some time before
Bemidji would again have an oppor-
tunity to form a militia company
and secure the additional appropria-
tion for an armory.

 Col. Spencer was married to Miss Ella Bonner at Malta Bend, Mo-, November 2S, 1885. The latter survives and minis tered to her husband with be- roic devotion during his long illness. Mrs. Spencer's brother, w. T. Bonner, arrived here from Clarendon a week ago, and his presence was a great comfort to the deceased during the clos ing days of his life. They were intimately associated in the newspaper business for long period and were more like brothers than brothers-in-law.
 Mrs. Spencer, in company with her brother, expects to leave here on Saturday with the body for Clarendon, where 1t will be laid to rest in the family burial ground. No fu- neral service will be held here.

None but the Presidents party were sup posed to use this deck and it had been the favorite place for the ships officers to take their evening walk when off duty. From the Captain, who gave up his suite, to the seamen, the fact of having a president aboard meant sacrifice, as everything must tend to his pleasure and convenience.
 Many athletic stunts were held on the Fourth of July, and the President was an interested spectator at most of them. But Margaret was even more demo- cratic than the President. She sang for the crew in the movie theatre. One time she said that if any of us ever saw her that she would be glad to meet us and that for usto just say that we were on the George Wash ington.
 The President often sent a messenger to learn what was on at the movies and came sev- eral times He enjoyed Fatty Arbuckle and laughed as much as any one. One evening at the end of the performance he shook hands with the crew.
 There were three movie shows aboard the George Washington and as many pie lures were shown as at any Broadway Theatre, with all the latest, best pictures.

made no sound, and the three other
girls sank fainting to the floor A
volley followed and those not killed
that way were put to death by bayo-
nets. The blood of the victims COW
cred the floors and ran in streams
along the hallway. The bodies were
heaped in a cart and taken away.
They were stripped, searched for
jewels and then thrown in mine
shaft. The clothing was burned. But
in their haste valuable sacred relic
that the car always carried and
some jewels the cZarina had sewed
in her corset were overlooked and
helped to identify, or establish the
facts, as they were where the
clothes had been burned.
The story is sad and when | read
it l remembered the summer that l
was there. The car had every sort
of argument used on him to make
him divorce his wife when the fourth
daughter was born, so anxious were
the people for an heir to the throne.
In his last sad hours his wife, as
a favor. was allowed to go with
him, even to eternity. She could have
gone to Crimea instead. Jealousy,
envy and all unrighteousness, is
what we are to ask God daily to be
delivered from. These poor women
and men are better off, however,
than those yet living in Russia.
