THE section of the revenue act
approved February oath, 1919,
which authorizes the payment
lof a sixty-dollar bonus to,all sold
iers, and sailors honorably dis
charged from the service, is a
piece of fairand wise legislation.
The nation, has taken these
men from positions where they
we're earning a living and has
employed them in its defence at
a wage less than they were re-
ceiving. 1t is incumbent upon it
to protect them against the
chance of delay in finding en-
ployment. If a man goes direct
ly back to a position the bonus
will be useful to MIN. But if it
takes time for him to secure en-
ployment the sixty dollars will
be a wonderful help in tiding
him over.
Those who are discharged
hereafter will receive the bonus
with their final pay. Soldiers
who have been discharged and
have not received it should COM
mu1icate with the Zone Finance
Officer, Lemon building, Wash
ington, D. c., stating particulars
and enclosing their discharge
certificates. Sailors discharged
without the bonus should make
claim for payment upon the
naval bureau of supplies and &C
counts at Washington.

GEN. Pershing a few days ago
sent the war department a chart
showing the total casualties by
divisions. The battle casualties
include the killed in action,
wounded, missing in action and
prisoners, which for the total

The following is the list, given
in the order of casualties; it VIII
be noted that the 81st division
suffered a total of 1862, which
showed they were in severe
fighting for the short time they
were at the front. The New

being one of the crack divisions;

THE Sixty-ffth Congress, just
expired, has been a body of re-
markable experiences. No con-
gress in our history has had as
many and important problems
with which to deal. We will all
agree that it did many wise and
benefcient things.
We remember that this con-
gress declared a state of war be-
tween the United States and the
imperial German government,
and later, against the Austro.
Hungarian government.
1t passed the greatest tax laws
in parliamentary history, in two
years levying ten billion dollars
in taxes chiefly for the the sup
port of the war. And in the same
time it authorized bond issues
aggregating twenty-five billions.
1t passed law to make the
country dry after July 1st, 1919,
for the duration of the war. And
then it passed a constitutional
amendment for national prohibit.
ion.
1t did the thing it set out to do,
supplied the country with nearly
four million fighting men, furn.
ished the senews of war for them
and stood at their backs while
they went through to victory.

worth of food was produced on
back yard lots last year.
This means a reduction in the
cost of food which the families
cultivating these gardens would
otherwise have purchased. Not
only that, but the vegetables
raised in these gardens came to
the table fresher and of better
quality than vegetables purchas-
ed at a market or store could
possibly have done.

FIFTY new houses needed at
once within the boundaries of
Rockingham!
Houses are not to be had. In
cyiries for them either for pur-
chase or rent meet with disap-
pointment. The restriction Of
building during the war has of
course played a great part in pro-
ducing this scarcity Of homes.
A shortage of houses is to be
regretted for several reasons. 1t
means congestion. Where two
families are living in quarters
which are by rights only suffic-
lent for one, there is inevitably
crowding enough to affect the
conditions of life more or less I'm
favorably.
Also, if a town has only houses
enough for it's present inhabitants
there is no possibility of further
growth. New residents, how
ever satisfactory they might be
as citizens, simply cannot be &C.
commodated.
Men who have capital or can
arrange for the use of it should
wake up to conditions and real
ize that the present is an excel
ent time for building.
In the first place, the greatest
necessity of the country just now
is work for the returned soldiers
and sailors. Building will furn.
ish this.
In the second place, building
would be an act of public spirit,
supplying the builders home
town with the houses required
for it's progress and growth.
Lastly. the demand for houses
shows that well-built homes will
prove an excellent investment
for the builder. Houses to rent
will be an assured source of in
come. And the sale of houses
upon easy monthly payments is
a most satisfactory plan. A town
which has these to offer can Sc.
cure a fine class of thrifty, pru-
dent citizens, who as they are
property-holders, will be interest
ed in their homes and surround
ings.
Local banks should see their
interests in financing builders
where necessary. 1t is to be hop.
ed as the season progresses, we
shall see a good class of homes
going up in Rockingham, such
as will reflect credit upon the
town and bring profit to the
builders.

Oil Machinery
for Enforcement
of Prohibition

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.--Spec-
ial machinery for the enforcement Of
wartime and constitutional prohibit
ton will be set up by the bureau Of
internal revenue Nov. II, under the
direction of John F. Kramer, of
Mansfield, Ohio, whose appointment
as national prohibition commissioner
was announced Wednesday by Inter-
nal Revenue Commissioner Roper.
Besides supervising agents in each of
the nine districts into which the coun-
try has been divided and a prohibi-
ton director in each, Mr.. Kramer will
have a mobile force which will move
about the country as necessity de.
mands.
State and municipal officials will
be expected to enforce the prohibi-
ton laws, but where they fail to ex-
ercise due diligence, federal agents
will act Officials said that should
local officers fail to cooperate in
breaking up the illicit sale of liquor
the government would not proceed
against them but rather would lei
the local electorate take care OF the
situation.
Headquarters Of the supervising
federal agents, although not definite.
ly decided upon, probably will in
clude Richmond and Atlanta, in the
south, east of the Mississippi river
The departments or units over which
their jurisdiction is to extend will be
known as the northeastern, New
York, eastern, southern, gulf, cen.
trail, northwestern, southwestern and
Pacific. Virginia, North Carolina
South Carolina, Tennessee, Ken
lucky and West Virginia will be the
southern department. Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louis
ianna will be in the gulf department
