FLU" AT SECTION THIRTY.

Twelve cases of influenza developed
at Section Thirty last Friday and
Saturday. The health authorities at
once took measures to combat the
ailment with isolation and quaran-
tine regulations. It seems that a
family which had just moved in
brought the disease with them from
Duluth and that before being dis
covered and reported had affected
several Of the neiehboring families.

Section 1406 of the Revenue Act
approved February "a, 1919, author
ICES the payment of a bonus of $50
to officers, soldiers, field clerks and
nurses of the Army upon honorable
separation from active service by
discharge, resignation or otherwise.
This bonus is not payable to the heirs
or representatives of any deceased
soldier.
Those who are discharged here
after will receive this bonus on the
same roll or voucher upon which
they are paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the $4,000 bonus, should
write letter to the Zone Finance
Officer, Lemon Building, Washing
ton, D. c., stating their service since
April 9th, 1917, the date of last dis
charge and their present address to
which they desire their bonus checks
to be sent and enclosing with this
letter their discharge certificate or
military order for discharge and both,
if both were issued.
Upon the receipt by the Zone
Finance Officer, Washington, D. c.,
of this information 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 certificate will be re-

SOLDIERS BONUS
CHECKS ARRIVING DAILY TO
SOLDIERS ENTITLED TO
BONUS.

Several of the soldiers who put in
applications for the $4,000 bonus
allowed by the government two weeks
ago, have received their checks. The
payment comes in rather handy to
the boys being discharged and al
ready discharged. If you have not
as yet made your application for the
bonus do so at once. If you are not
exactly certain as to how to go after
the same, call on Sergeant R. V. Fox
at the Community Building and he
will assist you. The sooner you put
in your application, the quicker you
will receive the money. ..-

Little Janet Laing while hanging
onto some teamster's sled was
struck in the face with whip and
her cheek cut quite badly. She was
unable to identify either the team
or the teamster, fact to be deplored
as the fellow certainly deserves
something besides talking to.
There probably are several men
right around close who would be only
too glad to learn the identity Of this

RENOVATORS AT WORK
ON FEDERAL BUILDING

Decorations and repalrers were at
work today renovating the lobby of
the federal building here, little
more than sixty days late. The con-
tract for the job was awarded last
spring, to be started July l and
to be finished by September l, but
the firm, an eastern concern, has
asked the government for an exten-
sion of time on the ground that the
labor situation has made it impossible
to obtain the class of artisans necas
sary to do the job according to gov
ernment standards. 1t is believed
the extension will be granted. The
same firm has just completed a sim
liar Job on the Macon federal build
ing, also behind scedule.
Two men are at work here, and
more are to follow. They were at
work today in the main lobby of the
postoffice cleaning the woodwork and
furniture. The walls are to be re-
finished and the property otherwise
put in first class condition.

CoRDELE, Sept 3.-While he was

hurt by a piece of flying stump which
went some several hundred feet from
blown-up stump into a crowd of
spectators.
The missile struck him in the face.
His nose was broken, some teeth
were knocked out and it is feared that
his jaw was fractured. The injury Is
causing considerable pain, but physi-
clans attending say he is doing as
well as could be expected. He was
taken home Immediately after the ac-
cident and physicians attended him
there.

III MEN LEAVE
SOUTHER;;6OMEN
STILL AT FIELD

A squad of 121 enlisted men and
one officer, Lieut.. Gardener, got what
may be their last look at Souther
Field this morning when they board
ed three passenger cars at Aries
Station and started for Texas at
tached to the 2:17 this afternoon.
The men, many of them Georgians,
were somewhat reluctant to go, but
most of them realized that the change
would take them closer to the Mexi-
can border where old army men were
predicting action before long, and
they were not altogether grieved at
the transfer.
Colonel RAIDER received word this
morning that orders were on the way
to send the men to Fort Bliss, near
Houston, instead of Kelly Field, but
it is known where orders will place
them by the time they arrive. They
have previously been ordered TO
Ellington Field and Kelly Field.
The departure of 121 men did not
entirely put Souther field out of
business, as had been feared. Col
RAIDER stated this afternoon that he
still had about so enlisted men at
the fort, as the the result of num-
Der of recruits being sent here re-
