ON THE JOB TOO SOON?
Training Still Open to Disabled Soldiers Who Cannot Continue on the Job.

Washington, May 6.-The latitude allowed the Federal Board for Voca- tional Education in the administration of the Vocational Reha abilitation Act is as broad in some of it's phases as the restrictions are limited in others. The law only allows those men to participate in it's benefits who are "compensable" and whose disability is { at least 10 per cent. But the disabled man is allowed much liberty in his decision in regard to undertaking the training courses. It has been the na- tural impulse of these returned sol diers to get back to work as quickly as possible. Many, seeing no benefit in wasting time at some training school, have taken the first job of- fered, and often in a short while have that their strength was not sufficient to "Carry on." This experience, though unfortunate, need not be dis cOuraging. The offer of the govern ment is still open to such men, and many are finding it to their advantage to come back and get the preparation which they need. The board is par ticularly anxious to have the assist ance of the public in making this op- portunity known to all disabled men who, having re-entered civil life, are finding their handicaps too much for them. They have demonstrated the need for this special training--it may still be theirs for the asking.

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-09-18

The county commissioners at their
meeting to be held next Monday. will
consider the proposition of payment
Of the seed and feed bills outstanding
against the farmers Of the county. As
we all know. we have had three very
light crops In succession. Two years
ago. not only the grain crop was poor
but scarcely any feed was raised. It
was necessary for the county to fur
nish vast amount Of seed and feed,
otherwise hundreds Of farmers never
would have been able to put in further
crops. Successive crops have been
light and not many farmers have been
able to meet their obligations with
the county When large number
hauled their grain to the elevators
this fall they learned that the com
missioners had fled their accounts
with the grain dealers. who were not
permitted to pay the farmers until
after the eounty's bill had been salts
fed. To insist on every farmer pay
NAG ia full this year would be ruinous
FOR they simply must have some money
ocarrF them thru the winter and to
finance their farming operations an
other year. The commissioners are
disposed to be lenient and will I'M
doubtadly modify their previous de-
mands at MONDAYS meeting, This is
the right thing to do,
