Reasonable Restitution

From The Masonic Observer.
Millions Of dollars Of public
funds have been illegally paid to
parochial schools and sectarian
colleges all over the United States,
in many instances far more than
enough to pay for the educational
institutions that have received
these lawless payments.
A careful checking up Of funds
diverted in this way contrary to
law should be made, and steps TAX
en- in every possible instance to
secure restitution. Where return
Of the cash itself cannot be Sc
cured, legal action against the
school properties should be com
menced and they should be bid in
BY the states for these obligations.

According 10 available statistics,
there are nearly $4,000 American

The prevention is very simple. The
seed grain is sprinkled with solution
of formaldehyde, one pound to forty
gallons of water, and three-quarters
of a gallon of the solution should be
used for each bushel of grain.
Professor H. l.. Bolly. of the North
Dakota Agricultural college has pre-
pared pamphlet on the control OF
diseases in farm crops, which is avail
able to anyone interested. The mere
statement that the smut crop grown
by American farmers in 1917 would
have filled train of freight cars
stretching from New York to Cleve-
land, ought to be sufficient proof OF
the importance of treating seed grain.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO
DISCHARGED SOLDIERS

Finley. N. Oak. March 1S,-The
Local Board has been advised by the
Adjutant General that soldiers are en-
titled to retain their uniforms. hense
it is not necessary to comply with the
former order requiring the return of
uniforms after a specified time
1t has been stated that all soldiers,
discharged since November 11th, 1918
are entitled to travel pay, at the rate
of five cents per mile. The Adjutant
General of North Dakota states that
he has no official notice concerning
this, but suggests that the individual
soldier take the matter up with the
Zone Finance Officer, Lemon Building
Washington, d. G. II the difference
between the five cents and the three
and one half cents, paid many dis
charged soldiers, is obtainable, that
is probably the paying Office.
1t is important that discharged SOL
diers place their Certificate of Final
Discharge in safe place, as copy
cannot be secured. Where the dis
charge papers are lost it is possible to
secure service record or certificate
from the Adjutant General of the
Army, Washington, D. c. by giving
all the facts in the case, but since all
the camp records are being forwarded
to Washington, it would take much
time to segregate single one from
millions in the army The Discharge
