The Government Treats Its Men Well

An estimate has recently been
made of the value of the extras"
received by an enlisted man of the
Navy in addition to his pay He re-
ceives medical and dental attention,
also board and lodging free. Plac-
ing one dollar per month as the aver
age payment for medical attention;
fifty cents for dental treatment, and
forty dollars as the value of a months
board and lodging, we have forty-One
dollars and fifty cents as an amount
a sailor receives; not in cash, but in
kind.
His clothes, too, will cost him ap-
prOXimately $500 a month less than
if he were purchasing them out OF
the Navy.
Then there is the question of re-
tired pay and Naval Reserve Pay.
In order to have an income OF fifty
dollars month after sixteen years,
q man would have to save fifty dol
lars month. In the Navy, to re-
ceive this income, all he needs to do
is keep a. clear record and do good
work, and after sixteen years service
he can enter the Naval Reserve with
approximately $50 a month pay, and
practically NO duties except the OBJ
legation to serve in case OF war.
IF he serves twenty years he re-
ceives a greater pay upon entering
the Reserve, and after thirty years
service, he can retire outright with
| three-fourths of his active duty pay
and an extra allowance of $500 Per
month. Statistics show that about
nine men out OF ten in ordinary oc-
equations arrive at the age OF sixty
years dependent upon their wages
for support The Navy man draws
his retired pay. Then there 10 cheaE
| life insurance.

The Wheat Situation.

Premature ripening of early vari-
cites i'm many sections has resulted
in great amounts of shriveled and
undeveloped grains which are unit
for seeding purposes.
Half Of Maryland's wheat crop was
in the field during the long spell OF
wet weather following harvest.
Between 80 and so per cent OF the
wheat sprouted and molds developed
resulting in loss Of about $5,OOO,OOO.
Little Of this wheat will be fit for
milling purposes though it may be
used for feed if properly handled.
Diseases such as smut, scab, ETC.,
have been especially prevalent, caus-
ing losses approximately $2,OOO,OOO.
Let's all work together to make
the best OF a bad situation first by
notifying the County Agent of any
available sound seed wheat; second,
by employing such preventive meas
ures in the treatment Of seed to ellml-
nate diseases IN the 1920 crop as are
available; third, by utilizing In every
possible way all grain unfit for com
mercial purposes; !, fourth, by tanning
out the undeveloped and diseased
grains from wheat used for seed
fifth, by seeing as nearly as possible
to the correct date indicated on the
seeding map. -

ROSIE, KIDNAPPED BY MOTHER,
NOW HAPPY AT OWN HOME,
Tea Party Doll and 'Mom'-AH the World Smiles for
Chd-Surendered by Foster Mother

Rosie Coughlin, of 3716 Brandywine
street, was having tea party today.
There were no engraved invitations.
Neither were the guests grand danes of
fashion. There weren't any flowers or
silver and fine linen.
But it was the very happiest tea party
Rosie ever had, and her guests almost
cried from sheer JOY. In fact, the most
important guest. Mrs. Mary Coughlin
did surreptitiously wipe a tear from her
eyes now and then.
The other guest was rather battered
and queer looking and some folk might
have though her immodest in costume
Her cheeks were faded most of her hair
was gone; her legs had been amputated
and her hands were missing. Perhaps
that was why she wore only bit of
muslin across her shoulders. But then
she's only doll you know.
Wee Rosie distributed her caresses
and her crackers and water impartially,
and laughed merrily the while.
The tea table was the window ledge.
and Maryanne tthe doll was propped
on cigar box beside the array of tiny
broken plates. There was only one toy
cup. So the hostess and guests took
turns about using it.
Its a nice party, isn't it, mon?''
smiled the hostess, and for just a min =
ute she climbed into Mrs. Coughlin S
lap and put her soft, bare arms about
the older woman's neck.

Fl. Bailey. chairman of Councils
Fourth of July committee. has an
pointed Morris e. Conn, councilman
from the Eighth ward, to head a sub
committee on programs.
Mr.. Conn's job will be to see that
there is no unofficial soliciting of con

official programs.
The getting out of this years pro-
gram has been turned over to James
f. Lee, 126 South Sixteenth street.
The firms business will be to handle
all the details, in connection with the
independence Day program.
Petty politicians wills not have any
chance to separate business men from
coin. according to the official plan.
There will be no opportunity to say
that a little money judiciously placed
in this program will keep one ''in
right"
Programs in the past have often been
financed by persons having nothing to
do with the Fourth of July committee.
For years programs covered with city
and national colors ana containing pic
lures of the Mayor and members of the
councilmanic committee have been dis
tributed broadcast, and their ad space
was usually taken.
These programs, gotten out by mys
teriously important somebodies with
Offices lover in City Hail. will be no

D0GCATCHERS IGNORE LOVE
So erlndIe Pup Is Seized, Leaving
Kitty Playmate In Sorrow

The dogcatchers' were busy in the
old tenderloip district this morning.
and they broke up one happy couples
career.
He was brindle puppy scarcely
steady on his feet yet. and she was. and
is yet. bonny though rather be-
draggled little kitten, that played with
him in Winter street. near Tenth.
The two were playing this morning.
rolling and turbling about in the sun
shine, when along came a man with a
net. .... -.. ..,.
With tongue lolling out rougishly.
and eye cast sidewise to see if Kitty
was following, the pup galloped out to
Tenth street. There was no license tag
on him. and so he was carried, yelping
helplessly in the net, to the wagon for
doomed dogs. The kitten followed
mewing. She was the Poor Butterfly of
the little alley drama.
In response to the distress cries of
the pup, dozen others of no breed
but ready sympathy, came humping
to the scene. Meanwhile, the police got
interested, and tried to corral this new
crowd and drive it toward other dog :
catchers in the neighborhood. But
evidently the god of homeless dogs was
kind, for not net appeared, and
finally Tenth and Winter streets was
quiet again, except for one scared,
lonesome kitten on shabby brick wall
and one curious old cur from Franklin
Square, who cooked canine eye up at
her and wondered how she was con :
nected with the performance.

STATE HELD LOSER
BY POOR FINANCING
New Jersey Comptroller Calls
System Of Providing for lnstitu-
tions False Economy

Atlantic City. June 4.-The fnan.
cial policy for state institutional de-
velopment is one of the big problems of
the New Jersey State Department OF
Institutions and Agencies and the state
administration must be prepared to in
dorse an intelligent plan for necessary
development. So declared State Comp
troller Newton A. X. Bugbee here to-
day at the national conference of social
workers. He said the state needed ad
dtional accommodations at once for the
in the past to provide sufficient funds
for the proper upkeep of institutional
buildings.
1T was a policy of false economy
and must be rectified Immediately if the
state is to be saved further loss on it's
original investments" Mr.. Bugbee
continued. He then declared that zap
preparation committees in the past have
in the exercise of false economy re-
duced requests for current repairs. |
can say to you that for every dollar
that has been cut from a request for
current repairs in the past. the state
will now have to pay double if not
more"
He said that institutions should
receive appropriations for their entire
expenditures directly from the state
treasurer and thus abolish the. present
cumbersome system of appropriating
part of the money required from the
treasury and crediting the institution
with its earnings as an additional ap-
preparation.
