GIRL SPONSORS
SHIPS TO BE NAMED Aztec
SOUTH DAKOTA COUNTIES.

Minneapolis, March S.-Counties
of the ninth federal reserve district
that won the right to name tanks by
their high percentage of distribution
in the fourth Liberty loan will in
stead have the right to name United
States ships.
This word came in a telegram to
A. r. Rogers, chairman of the ninth
district war loan organization, saying
that Mrs. Woodrow Wilson had waiv-
ed her privilege of naming the ships
and that she had left the matter in
the hands of the Liberty loan com
mittee.
For a time il was feared that ow-
ing to the signing of the armistice,
the counties that made such a bril-
liant showing in last falls campaign
were doomed to disappointment be-
cause the commissioning of addition
al tanks had been discontinued.
'sThe proud record of the prize
winning counties of the Ninth district
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. Wilson"
Details of the new arrangements
are expected before the Victory Lib
erty loan drive opens in April and as
soon as word is received the county
chairmen concerned will be advised.
The prize winning counties in South
Dakota that will name ships. their
percentage of distribution, the name
selected for the ship and the sponsor

BONUS FOR SOLDIERS
$50 TO BE PAID TO SOLDIERS DIS.
CHARGED SINCE APRIL
@, 1917.

Adjt. Gen. w. A. Morris has issued
a circular letter announcing the act
approved by congress February "a,
1919, relative to bonus of $50 for
discharged soldiers, ETC.:
Section 1406 of the revenue act,
approved February "a, authorizes the
payment of a bonus of $50 to officers,
soldiers, field clerks and nurses of
the army upon honorable separation
from active service by discharge, res
ignation or otherwise. This bonus is
not payable to the heirs or represent
atives of any deceased soldier.
Those who are discharged hereaft-
er 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 $50 bonus, should write
a letter to the Zone Finance Officer,
Lemon building, Washington, d. c.,
stating their service since April G.,
1917, the date of last discharge and
hhSh ~ Notht dudlC So W Which, IHty
desire their bonus checks to be sem
and enclosing with this letter their
discharge certificate or military or
der for discharge and both. if both
were issued.
Upon the receipt by the Zone FL
nance 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 re-
turned to the soldier with the check.
1t is estimated that at least one
and a quarter million 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.
