ARMY AND NAVY BENEFIT

Nashville, March 3, 1919 I'm
der the revenue act approved on
February "a, 1919, each officer,
soldier, sailor, field clerk, or nurse,
who entered Federal service on or
after April 6, 1917, and who has
been honorably discharged, is en-
titled to bonus of $4,000. This
bonus is payable only upon appli-
cation of person entitled thereto,
and is not payable to heirs or rep
resentat; YES of those who may
have died in service; nor to those
who were given an extra month S
pay upon their separation from
service. Those who are discharg-
ed after this act took effect, will
receive this $4,000 in their final
pay.
Those entitled to this $4,000
should make formal application
over their signatures, stating the
date of induction and separation
from military service and the
place to which it is desired that
check be sent and inclosing their
honorable discharge, which will
be returned with the check.
Soldiers should address applica-
tions to the Zone Finance Officer,
Lemon Building, Washington, d.
G. Sailors should address applica-
tiops to Naval Bureau of Supplies
and Accounts, Washington, d. G.
Marines should address applica-
tions to the officer who settled
their accounts, unless his wherea-
bouts are unknown, or he was a
naval supply officer in which case
claim should be forwarded to Ma
rine Corps Headquarters, Wash
ington, d. G.
1t is estimated that at least one
million and quarter persons have
been discharged from the service
who are entitled to the benefit of
this act and while payments will
be made as expeditiously as practi-
cable, it will manifestly take con-
siderable time to write and mail
this many checks.
Very truly yours,
RUTLEDGE SMITH,
Chairman and Field Secretary

SOLDIER LETTERS
FROM OVERSEAS

Nnronlcle, Dear Sir: As / think |
of the good people of old Benton
wonder if they aint crowling tEe
heaters and firepIaces, due to the
fact that it is about February l.
1t is not so in the tropics. 1t gets
little cool here at night, but not
enough to disturb you Little is
taught In your school books about
this island, but readers of The
Chronicle might appreciate know
ing that there is such a place as
the island of Hayti and republic
known as the Dominican Republic.
The soil of Hayti is very fertile
and produces bananas, cocoanuts,
coffee, castor beans, plantains, or
anges and sugar cane.
Sugar cane is the principal crop.
All the cane fields are owned by
wealthy landowners. For instance
where | am at present there are
abont $4,000 acres in cane. One
mill converts the product into SUI
gar. The old stalk is planted aud
is good for fifteen years before
having to plant again. Railroads
run through the cane fields, and
this estate has ten locomotives and
about $50 cars to haul the cane.
When the cane arrives at the mill
it is unloaded, one car at time, by
crane, then it is run through a
cutter with 4 grinders. requires
two 43C b. p. engines to pull them.
Then to work out the water with
vacuum pumps, ten engines from
10 to 80 h. p. are used. There is the
centrifugal that crystallizes the
sugar. They try to make the sugar
96 per cent pure.
The laborers are Immigrants
from some of the islands held by
the British. They are negroes,
but not as intelligent as those in
the States. Since the appearance
of the influenza they use a great
deal of rum, which they are very
fond, and they seem to think it
will ward off the disease. They
have great faith in witehcraft and
evil spirits. One negro was throw
ing rum on the floor. He would
take drink and pour some on the
floor. / asked him what was The
idea, and he said he was giving the
jumba (spirit) } drink. 1t puzzled
me. He asked me if [ knew what
a iumba was. For quick reply
he might just AS well asked me my
great grandmother's opinion on
theosophy. =.
With great respect for ye editor
and the people of Benton County,
