Bonus Money For Discharged SOL

Bonus Money For Discharged Sol
diers.-Although the discharge papers
and necessary information for getting
the $50 bonus provided by the govern
'ment have in many cases, been In the
hands of the government for several
weeks, many of the men in Anderson,
as elsewhere, have failed to receive
the amount named and are anxious
to know whether their papers have
|been lost or If it is only government
delay caused by the volume OF busin-
ess. The latter is the cause, as Is
shown in the following, which is an
extract from the letter received re-
Gently by Mrs. F. B. Crayton, local di-
rector of the home service department
of the Red Cross.
First, in regard to the bonuses
which have not been received, we
would say that Mr.. L. E. Stein OF
bureau of information service at
washington has been with us for
couple of days and he states that with
| in q week practically every bonus
should be mailed out, that is if the
application was properly filled out and
correct address given. AT present
checks are being mailed out at the rate
of forty-two thousand a day, and you
might be interested to know that a
few days ago, total of eight hum
dred nineteen thousand and thirty
two had been mailed out. 1t seems
that the delay in this case was caused
by the fact that registered letters were
received in Washington at the rate or
ffty-thousand a day, whereas the
postoffice department facilities would
| not permit of the postal authorities
handling more than twenty-four thou
sand q day. AS each mail brought in
Inew sacks Of mail, these sacks were
lpiled up on top of those already stack
ed in the mailing room and when 1t
came to handling mail and opening
| up sacks, the postman evidently
thought it we'll to be Biblical and let
the last be first and the first, last.
However, the last ones are now being
handled and as we have said above,
all checks should he received within a
week or ten days at the most."-An-

NEW SOY BEAN INTRODUCED.
Missionary Finds Valuable Addition to
American Food in Japan.

There are almost as many varieties
of soy beans as there are varieties OF
American beans in an up-to- date seed
catalog. Some are suited to one soil
or climate and some to another; some
grow as big as limas and some no
larger than split peas; some make
good hay and others good cover crops
but all possess valuable characteristics.
Many kinds have been introduced here
from Asia, and there are many more
to come. Recently American agricul-
ture acquired new soy that promises
to be of great value.
An American missionary in Japan,
interested in the introduction of good
crops, sent a sample of Hahto soy
beans, which he had purchased at an
agricultural fair, to the Department of
Agriculture about three years ago.
This bean has since been grown sue
cessfully at the Arlington Va, expert
mental farm and has been tested in
other parts Of the country. Although
the Hahto bean, which produces ex-
ceNent green vegetables similar to
lima or butter beans, Is preferably ad-
apted for culture in the southern
states, the variety also produces pro-
fitable yields of green beans during
favorable seasons in the corn belt.
The Hahto soy bean is bush variety
which grows high enough to produce
abundant forage, yielding nearly as
large hay crops as the Mammoth Yel-
low, and is believed to be superior in
seed production to that variety. When
the seeds are from three-fourths to
FULL grown they make an excellent
green vegetable.
A number of residents Of the Dis
trict of Columbia and several states
grew the bean in their gardens last
Summer and canned the product, which
has been pronounced by epicureans to
be at least the equal, If not the su-
perior, of the ordinary butter or lima
bean.
Dried Hahto beans COOK up easier
than any other variety of soys and
have a more pleasant flavor than most
of the other sorts which have been
used in this way. A growing season
of approximately 130 days is required
to produce mature beans, while the
green beans are ready for harvest at
least two weeks earlier. During the
current season a Michigan canning
company is to test out the Hahto beans
for commercial canning purposes. The
department will not be able to comply
with requests for seed, as arrange
ments have been made for the distrl-
button of all the seed that is available
among boys and girls garden clubs OF
the south, where the variety is best
adapted.

NJ. Bourgeois argued that such Sc
curity was essential to France because
of the extended frontiers of that coun-
try, which as President Wilson had de-
clared in the French senate were the
frontiers of the worlds liberties.
The amendments of NJ. Bourgeois
representing France, were not pressed
NJ. Clemenceau then put the question
of the adoption of President Wilson'S
motion, which prevailed without a for
NAL vote.
The covenant was declared adopted
and the session proceeded to the labor
report, reciting nine principles for in
clusion in the treaty which were also
accepted.
After setting aside the report on
war responsibilities for labor consid-
Grafton, the session adjourned.
The South American representatives
expressed approval at great length
before the covenant was adopted. Dur
ing this part of the afternoon a dis
tinct restlessness was noticeable, Pres
ident Wilson walking over to a friend,
and PRIMER Lloyd George disappear
ing from the room.
When the decision was taken
President Wilson was surrounded by
delegates and friends who congratulated
him on the constitution Of the league
which he had steered past many quick
sands

that the powers to be represented on

81 think it is not necessary to call
your attention to other matters we
have previously discussed-the capital
Significance of this covenant; the
hopes which are entertained as to the
effect it will have upon steadying the
affairs Of the world, and the obvious
necessity that there should be con-
cert of the free nations Of the world to
maintain justice in international rela-
tions between peoples and between the
nations of the world.
"If Baron Maxine will pardon me
for introducing a matter which I alb
sent -mindedly overlooked, 1t is neces-
sary for me to propose the alteration
of several words in the first line OF Ar
ticle ". Let me say that in several
parts of the treaty, Of which this COW
enant will form a part, certain duties
are assigned to the council OF the Lea
que Of Nations. In some instances II is
provided that the action they shall
take shall be by a majority vote. 1t Is,
therefore, necessary to make the COW
enant conform with the other portions
Of the treaty by adding these words. 1
will read the first line and add the
words:
Except where otherwise expressly
provided in this covenant, or by the
terms of the treaty, decisions at any
meeting of the assembly or OF the
council shall require the agreement OF
all the members Of the league repre-
sented at the meeting"
: Except where otherwise expressly
provided in this covenant" Is the
present reading, and I move the addi-
ton, cor by the terms Of this treaty"
With this addition move the adoptioh

teste1 his innocense; but tremblingly
began to give the details Of last nights
beer bottle incident in such way as
to lerve the impression that the man
who swas knocked down by the beet
bottle must have fired the shot.
TIE only circumstance that failed to
fit In with this theory as to the perpe-
tratidn of the crime, was that the man
who welded the beer bottle was still
alive, and the victim Of the midnight
assassination had no connection with
the matter.
But the rifle Of the negro who was
knocked down told another story. The
MAGAZINE was fully charged, less one
single cartridge. and the residue Of a
recent explosion was perceptible in the
barrel.

week, no doubt, and very probably a

that President Wilson told them at

OUR HEROES.

When Colonel Weathersbee returned from ser
vice over there
You might have thought that he had earned
golden Croix de Guerre.
A BANQUET every other night to fix the coloners s
He had no part in any fight, but he was not 10
blame;
His Job was purchasing the hay on which the
mules were fed,
And thus he helped in his own way to fill the
Hun with dread.
How proud we were to listen while he told his
thrilling story; >.
He did it in heroic style and crowned himself
with glory.
When Private Greene came back ne Drought
A sleeve he didn't use.
And no alert reporters sought
Him out for interviews;
No banquet was arranged for Greene
They let him go his way.
For who cares what he may have seen
Or what he has to say?
When Major Arbuthnot came home we cheered
him, old and young:
The local paper had a 'pome In "hich MS
praise was sung;
We hung up all the flags in town ana packed
tHe DiSSeSI hot
To hear how he had won renown and caused
the kaisers fall
The major had major part in helping Persh-
ing through;
He bought the tinware from the start and
sorted letters too;
A tower of strength indeed he was; among
the heroes list him;
We gave him thunderous applause and thirty
ladies kissed him.
Last week when Sergeant Tommy Glenn
Came lmping back from France
He got a handshake now and then
Perhaps friendly glance;
But that was all Who cares rap
What he did overseas?
He wears no eagle on his cap,
And his are cloth puttees.

French Papers Not Enthusiastio.-
The covenant Of the league OF nations
arouses little enthusiasm In the press
of Paris. Indeed many Of the prin-
ciple newspapers abstain from COM
ment altogether. EOeuvre, which has
always been a champion Of the league
and of President Wilson says:

tions causes a certain amount OF dis-
anpointment. It's twenty-six articles
constitute really the statutes of the
league of governments to safeguard
their territorial sovereignty and are
not a new charter Of the law OF ma
tions which had been hoped for.
The newspaper thinks that the res
ienation shown by Belgium, japan
and France must be due to promises
or special guarantees which VIII DC

t,nax" spokesman Of the nationalists,
declares outright.
THE league of nations is dead be-
fore BIRTH" He also refers to rum
ors of treaties being made between
the Allied powers, remarking Ito reas-
sure us, Premier Clemenceau ana
Foreign Minister Pichon, allege tney
hold favorable alliances in their port
folios. These parchments must be
beautiful, complete and eloquent to
Justify such docility on the part OF the
French ministers"
All the newspapers point out tnat
the great concessions were made py
France. Some of the journals go so
far as to declare that these conces-
sions amount to a surrender. AS a
whole, however, the press expresses
the hope that later amendments Will
result in satisfying what are regarded
as legitimate claims Of France and the
other countries which, as the Havas
agency summary Of the comment
words it, Showed their moderation by
abstaining from insisting yesterday
upon an immediate vote" on the
charges in the covenant which they
were advocating.
