Many Soldiers Have Money Coming to
Them.

Most all soldiers anu sailors who
have been discharged from the army
or navy since November IL, 1918, have
some extra money coming to them for
mileage, if they haven't attended to
the matter already.
A new act of Congress allows sc
a mile to all from the point they We're
discharged from to the place of en-
listment or to their actual homes, if
they prefer. For instance, if you en-
listed in Denver and were discharged
at Camp Funston you were probably
paid 3hc mile from Camp Funston
to Denver. Now you are entitled to
1ac per mile more from Funston to
Denver and &c per mile from Denver
to your home town if that was the
basis on which you were paid. You
should check up your payment and see
If you have something more coming.
II so, write to Congressman Guy U.
Hardy, House Office Building, Wash
ington, ID. c., and he will be glad to
help you get your money for you. Sol
diers must make out an affidavit, form
for which you can get at this office,
or by writing Mr.. Hardy. This must
be accompanied by your discharge pa
pers. Sailors need not make out an
affidavit but should write a letter stat
ing what is claimed and send in the
discharge papers. Better send sy reg
istered mail.
Congressman Hardy tells us that he
has gotten nice little checks for a num-
Der of boys who might have overlook
ed the matter but for the interest local
papers have taken in the soldiers. Mr.
Hardy will also help you ge. Jour $50
bonus for you if you haven't gotten
it yet.

Oil Car Friday and Saturday.

When a hundred dollar investment
brings fifteen thousand, and the buy
ers of Burk-Waggoner stock receive
more than three thousand for each
hundred invested, this profit even COM
ing to those who had their stock three
weeks; and the average return on in
vestments of a hundred dollars being
more than thirty dollars monthly, the
Burkburnett, (Texas) oil field is truly
world wonder. Seventy-six compan-
les are reported as having paid their
stockholders nearly seven million dol
lars in six months. UPrimarily intend
ed to call attention to the advantages
of Northern Texas as a field for high
ly profitable investment the Pullman
Car, "Helen Louise" which will be at
the Santa Fe station, Lamar, Friday
and Saturday, is provided with an
equipment for showing its visitors an
entertaining and instructive series of
motion pictures of the famous oil wells
that have made fortunes for hundreds.
Backed by the most expert opinion
now on the field the statesmen of the
Big Southern Co., Fort Worth, Texas,
under whose auspices the car is being
operated. are confident that one of the
big gushers now due to come in will
be on the property of the Golden Goose
OIL and Refining Co. in the next few
days.

Why The Farmer is Interested

The American Beet Sugar Co. an
nounces that it expects to make 30
per cent more sugar this season than
last, in spite of recent unfavorable
weather conditions in California.
Due to growth of sugar beet indus
try, land suitable for raising beets that
could formerly be bought for $4,000
an acre, is now worth from $3.50 to
$500 an acre.
Aside from raising a highly profit
able crop, this increase in land value
is one of greatest assets to the farm
er and shows why he is interested in
encouraging such industries as sugar
production, fruit and vegetable can
ming, etc. It all makes markets for
his products and incidentally increases
the value of his land.

Mrs. Louesa Atchison

II is with deep regret we are called
upon to chronicle the passing to the

Mrs. Atchinson in early life united
with the Methodist church in 1870. She
lived a consecrated christian life and
died a peaceful death.
While she has gone from the scenes,
the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures
of life, she will still live in the hearts
of those who knew her best The re-
mains were taken to Larned, Kansas
on Saturday morning for interment.

died June 5, 1919. In the spring of
1855 she moved with her parents to
Colon, Michigan. Was united in mar
riage to Francis A. Atchinson on Jan
uary 1st, 1856. They moved to Larned,
Kansas, in the spring of 1878.

her husband passed away and she had
since made her home with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Millie l.. Carr.

Condensery Condition Not Satisfactory
The representatives Of the Libby
AcNeill Co.. who attended the COM
mercial club banquet at La Junta re-
Gently, said he could not understand
the conditions there. The farmers
could produce milk more cheaply than
at any Of the company's condenseries
and the price was the same, but it
was the only one of their plants that
showed loss in milk receipts over
last year, and If the condition did not
improve it would be necessary to close
down the condensery.

"Agin the Guument''
BY C. M. MORRISON.

Somehow or other old Billy Gilligan
got = a crouch against these United
States back about the time of the
panic of 1873. He got the idea that
the old U. s. A. had c~old-decked him
somehow or other, SO he sort of be-
gan to live by himself over on his old
place, that was mostly grown up with
briars and unpruned apple trees.
He had fought in an Illinois regi-
ment In the Civil War. But for 40
years he had been pointed out as a
sort Of a neighborhood curiosity. "the
man who wouldn't apply for q
pension" He would froth at the mouth
every time he saw a tax collector,
and 1t grew to be one battle to get
a dime out Of him for the fuses and
purposes of the state"
He stood of every " driver" that
came along during the late unpleas-
antness, and they finally let him alone.
He stayed holed up right along. He
actually didn't know when the wal
began or when 1t ended. He used to
come out Of that tangle Of an old place
that he called home and go back in
without saying a dozen words to any
body and what he did say was mostly
grunts.
Nobody knows how he first learned
that one of his sisters boys had been
over there and had come back with q
medal or two, n from the war de-
partment of the United States and
another one that the French general
pinned On him n frosty morning "
in the Meuse-Argonne sector, where so
many Americans lost their lives.
And nobody knows when old Billy
Gilligan got hold Of that lad and car
ried him of to the old r~attletrap Of a
house back of the apple trees and the
brush and sat there all night by the
old fireplace learning that there had
been about the biggest war that the
stars ever looked down N.
It was long about Christmas when
old Billy rounded up the lad, seeming
ly. He kept him up there for a day
or 30, just naturally soaking in every
thing that the boy told him. 1t must
have been an awful jolt to get the full
story and the full horror and the un-
Outstanding Of all those anxious days
that the rest Of the world had been
trying to stand up under a day at q
time for the full four years.
MS a fair guess that the danger that
the one lad had gone through. the
horror q the U-boats, the landing in a
strange country. the desperate pushes

against a desperate and a strange en-
envy who fought with fire and poison.
must have stirred the old man out Of
his calloused shell that the years had
built around him. 81
Seemingly it stirred something in
his old heart and brain that had been
slowly dying since the days Of 1856.
He had been a man without a country
all these years. And while he had been
up there the nation, the same nation
for which he had fought a full half
century ago, had been going ahead and
growing and extending its power and
its principles.
He must have done a lot of mighty
solemnly serious thinking for a day
or so. The boy had gone back to his
mothers home and old Billy had been
| left alone to sit before the ancient
! fireplace and mediate on what had
come to pass.
His thinking took a strange turn.
! 1t happened to be Christmas Eve when
he came into town. That was not a
habit of his. 1t is doubtful If the old
est inhabitant recalled seeing old Billy
on the streets at that particular time.
| He came like a man in a hurry and
with his mind made up. and came up
to the post office steps. There was
a big crowd there, and he hesitated
a minute and crossed over to the bank.
Have you got any blanks for me to
take out Liberty Bonds?" he said when
he had reached the window. The as
sistant cashier rubbed his eyes and
stared. why no. Mr.. Gilligan." he
stammered, "the loans are all over
a long time ago.. Didn't you know
that?"
Moo" faltered the old man at the
window. e" didn't. You see-well, l
have been a fool. l didn't understand
about this war and / wouldn't let any
body tell me. Now, If 1t amt too late
1 want your help. You see, I heard a
lot Of things recently.
That boy. George, he is back and he
has been telling me about this whole
thing. I simply didn't know, that was
all. And now the old government has
made a man and a soldier and q better
American than / am out of him. And
it put a medal on him, a medal that
he deserves.

government and the best that there

WEATHER
HERE FOR EASTER

Ideal weather conditions oontribut-
ed largely to the success OF Easter
Sunday in Fairmopt, the day breaking
fair and bright and remaining so with
the exception Of a Few cloudy mo-
ments at intervals, just enough to
cause some uneasiness to the wearers
of new hats and gowns. However.
somewhere along about eleven o'clock
the rain began to fall in torrents, but
that was long after the last bit OF Eas-
ter finery had been tucked safely away
in its tissue paper wrappings.
Everybody went to church yester-
day. All of the pastors will tell you
the same story,-that the largest con-
gregations were present for many a
long day and the motive OF the w0r-
shippers can not all be attributed to
showing on ones new clothes either
for Easter falling so late this year
found many of the new spring toys
pretty we'll seasoned. Perhaps it was
because Of the special music and the
flowers or better to a new realization
of the real meaning Of Easter created
by world conditions in the hearts OF
the people.
In all Of the churches special SER
vices were held, special Easter music
marking each service. Cantatas were
rendered by four OF the city churches
at the evening service all Of which
were heard by large audiences. With
out exception these productions were
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1919-04-21

all excellent and reflected great credit
on the participants.
Easter lilies, and other potted plants
and cut flowers were utilized In altar
and pulpit decorations. High prices
did not, 1t would seem, cut down gifts
OF flowers to the churches or to indi.
viduals, In fact the corsage bouquets
which adorned so many Of the fair sex
seemed to have jumped to proportions
hithertofore unknown and in many In
stances the fair petite wearer was en-
tirely hidden behind the mass OF
flowers.
But today alas these wonderful bou-
quets which represented so much de-
votion and so much money on the part
of the giver are only withered bou-
quets.
