DISCHARGED SOLDIERS 70
.2. RECEIVE sec. 90 BONUs.

The war department authorizes
the following statement from the
director Of finance: :==s q s s. ::.... :5s 3
e Section 1906 Of the Revenue Act
approved February "a, 1919, author
ICES the payment Of bonus Of $50. :
90 to officers, soldiers, field clerks
and nurses of the Army upon honor
able separation from active service
by discharge, resignation or other
wise. This bonus is not payable to
the heirs or Representatives of any
deceased soldier. i 80: ~ c,.~,s.-.
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 6, 1917, the date Of last
discharge 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 Fin
ance 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 returned to the soldier with the
check.
1t is estimated that at least one
million and a quarter persons have
been discharged from the service
who are entitled to the benefits Of
this Act and while payments will be
made as expeditiously as practicable,
it will manifestly take considerable
time to write and mail this many
checks.

A telegram from the war depart

Joe Gustafson of Tofte, stating that
their son Edwin had died on Febru-
ary 16, 1919. He was with the Army
of Occupation in Germany and took

not receive single injury.5 His death
was caused by pneumonia. He would

and have been "over the top" twice,
and if everything goes all right ex-

been in France over two months and
have not received any letter from

if this war was over so could come
home once more, and I sure know
what home is now. If God ever let's
me come home I sure will not leave
you for some time. I can tell you a
lot of things about this war, it sure
is something dreadful the way the

presided and county agent VIM.
Cinch explained the plans and pur-
pose Of the cooperative organization
for the marketing of Cook county
farm products, the buying of farm
seeds, feeds, fertilizers, etc., and the
several ways in which such an or

IF YOU BUY SEED

There are several points worth
consideration by all who buy farm
or garden seeds. Minnesota, in COM
mon with a number of states has a
pure seed law designed for, the pro:
lection of the buyer, and all seeds
sold by Minnesota seedsmen must
comply with the law. Seedsmen
whose places of business are outside
the state, however, are not bound by
the Minnesota law and if not entire.
ly honest may avail themselves of
the opportunity to unload seed OF
poor quality and containing injur.
ious weed seeds on buyers in Mime.
sofa.
The Minnesota law requires that
all minnesota seedsmen selling seeds
in packages of one pound or over
must mark the package to SHOW
name of seed, where grown, percent.
age of purity and termination, and
date of termination test. If seeds OF
quack- grass, Canadian thistle, per.
ennial sow thistle, or dodder are
present such must be stated.
While there are many honest
seedsmen doing business outside this
state, who value their reputation
and future, there are others less
scrupulous. AS an example it may
be stated that one sample of alsike
clover and timothy seed advertised

K Counties of the Ninth Federal Re-

of distribution in the Fourth Liber-

to name United States ships. .Zz..l !. !
This word came. in a telegram to
A. r. Rogers, chairman Of the Ninth
District War Loan organization, say
ing that Mrs. Woodrow Wilson had
waived her privilege of naming the
ships and that she had left the mat
ter in the hands of the Liberty Loan
committee y
For a time it was feared that ow-
ing to the signing Of the armistices
the counties that made such bril7
liant showing in last falls campaign
were doomed to disappointment be-
cause the commissioning Of addition
al tanks had been discontinued. !
"The proud record of the prize
winning counties of the Ninth Dis
trict must not go unnoticed," read
the message from Washington.
"Those that won the right to name
tanks will now name ships, instead;
through the courtesy of Mrs. Will
son."
Details of the, new arrangements
are expected before the Victory Lib;
erty Loan drives open in April and
as soon as word is received the cour:

showed 453 Canadian thistle seeds in
each pound of mixture. Another
sample from another Iowa firm
showed 934 Canadian thistle seeds in
each pound of the mixture, besides
16 other varieties Of weed seeds.
Beware of cheap seed, and what
ever the price and wherever bought,
have a sample tested for purity and

can be made at home. The purity
test will be made free of charge by
the state laboratory or by your coun-

WHY DID GERMANY QUIT?

When two million American fight
ers were ready for the word, when
the looms and presses and factories
Of America finally began turning
out equipment, arms, ammunition,
poisonous gases, air-planes and ships
in heretofore undreamed of quanti-
ties, then and not until then did the
German nation cry "Kamerad.'
: Americas tremendous show of
power in the production of fighters
and of all fighting paraphernalia
turned the scale and suddenly
brought peace to staggering world.
The loyal citizens of the worlds
greatest republic-soldiers and civil
ians-by their enthusiasm, energy,
optimism and cooperation made
Germany quit and saved to- America
billions of dollars and hundreds of
thousands of precious lives.
1s} |1sssss the disease &@of ,autocracy
cured, shall We refuse to- pay the
doctor and the hospital bills?
While leading the world to the
three-quarters post in the perma-
aent peace handicap, shall we quit in
the stretch because we are weary?
Just because the bands have ceas-
ed to play, the flags to wave and the
crowds to cheer, shall we forget the
goal we were striving to reach and
go about our private business with a
:owardly sel6shness and a SNUG
I've done my share. Let someone
else do the rest?''
Shall we allow history to record
that we followed the German exam
pile and quit because we thought our
personal comfort was in danger?
That isn't the spirit of the men
and women who crossed the ocean
to win freedom of thought and
speech, of those who made Cornwall
lis surrender at Yorktown, of the
pioneers who conquered the Ameri-
can wilderness, Of the heroes who
refused to allow this country to ex-
lst half slave and half Free" or of
those who fought at Chateau-Thier-
ry and Belleau Wood in 1918.
The blood Of these empire builders
and freedom savers is our blood, and
now In 1919 we are not going to dis
grace them by refusing to do a little
more work, to lend a little more
money so that America can finish
it's job.
No, we are not a nation of Quit
ters. We must, we will pay our ma
tions bills and discharge our obliga.
tions. To do this we must eliminate
waste, save and buy stamps and
bonds. This is our very present
duty. It will be to our Individual
economic advantage, but that isn't
the point. The point is it is our pa:
triotic duty now just as much as it
was before the armistice was signed.
It is all a part of the same splendid
American Undertaking. (. -, S4.s Z. i: i
This years saving and investing
will furnish the true test Of Amer:
ica's peace time patriotism. e

CUTS BARLEY'S BEARD
Professor Performs Feat Of
Benefit to Farmers.
University of Alberta ~Aoronomists
Remove the Barb From
Whiskers of GRAIN

Edmonton, Notwithstanding the
beard of barley is the accomplishment
claimed by the agronornists at the
University Of Alberta this summer
Specifically what they did vas to at
tempt to remove the beard altogether,
succeeding only in taking the barb
out of the beard. This, it was de-
clared, is of immense potential agrt-
cultural benefit.
1t is the barb in barley that makes
all the trouble in handling and feed
ing the grain, it is said, and unsuc-
cessful efforts have been made for
years both in Canada and the United
States, to remove the beard. But with
the barb gone the experts say the
beard doesn't particularly matter.
If the claims made for the improved
barley are borne out authorities hold
it may become a staple variety OF
western Canada. Two varieties of
barley are grown in AlbertaNthe two
rowed and six-rowed. The former is
used for beer-making, but six-rowed
barley is the chief crop of central
Alberta for feeding purposes. 1t is a
sure crop, favored in mixed farming
regions, and yields from 40 to 80
bushels to the acre..

FLU SPREAD BY HANDSHAKE
Dirtier the Atmosphere, the More I'M
mune One Is to Disease, Says
Colonel Vaughn.

st. Louis, Mo.-There is no indica-
tion of an epidemic of influenza this
winter, according to speakers at the
convention of the Association of Mil
itary Surgeons of the United States
here.
One method of spreading the disease
is by handshaking, it was said.
Col. Victor G. Vaughn, in ar address,
declared the dirtier the atmosphere
and the more bacteria n breathed,
the more immune he would be to dis
ease. This was proved, he said, by
statistics compiled during the war,
which showed that the greatest death
rate from disease was among men from
rural districts.
s'The city-reared man." he asserted,
'sis accustomed to breathing filthy air,
while the co~untry-bred man is not, and
consequently a foul atmosphere will
affect the latter sooner than the for
mer."
