HELP DISABLED
SOLDIERS LAND
GOVT. CASH DUE

Washington, May 2.-The question
of compensation from the War Risk
Insurance Bureau is the prime requi-
site to be settled first, and upon
this depends the future of The dis
abled man whether he is to receive
the free vocational education the
government provides. Under the
law and the ruling of the War Risk
Insurance Bureau there must be a
minimum of a ten per cent disa'
bility before the disabled man can
have the training. The matter of
obtaining a ruling from the War
Risk Insurance is one which has
proven most confusing to the in
jured man, and many cases have
come to the attention of the Fed
eral Board of where disabled men
have hesitated to make application
for either the compensation or
traing on account of not understand
ing the procedure involved therein
The Federal Board for Vocational
Education, through it's vocational ad-
visers and Others of the staff in
each of the fourteen district offices,
has realized that assistance would
be greatly welcomed by the disabled
men, and has been helping these
men to make out their applications
and obtain ruling from the War
Risk Insurance Bureau. To april
first, 12,053 men have received this
assistance and the claims have been
filed with the War Risk Insurance
Bureau. Compensation has been
awarded in 1894 cases and denied in
175 cases. Any man who is suffer
ing from injuries or disabilities sus-
tanned in or arising out of his SER
vice in the army, navy or marine
corps is invited to take the matter
up with the Federal Board, and
every possible assistance will be
given him to. comply with all the
formalities requisite to having his
claim passed upon with reasonable
promptness.

HALLOWEEN WAS HERE
Usual Franks Played by the Ghosts
 and Some Others.

Halloween was not forgotten in Ash down Friday night, and on Saturday morning there were plenty of evlden- ces that numerous ghosts had been at large. There were several parties in town celebrating the event. It was af- ter the parties were over that the boys indulged in the usual pranks. The city officials evidently thought that some of the jokes were little raw, and a number of the boys were brought before the mayor and fined. Franks are all right, but should be kept within reasonable limits. Ac- tual destruction of property is not con sidered a good joke, and we hope the boys will not be so indscreet again.
