A WAY TO PAY SOLDIERS BONUS.

Through your unique and beneficial
column wish to offer suggestion
whereby tho nucleus of fund for the
payment of service bonuses may be
raised. News items state that there are
10000 draft dodgers in the United
States Let the law be vigorously en-
forced and heavy fines imposed what
is more fitting than that the yellow ones
should give up some OF the hard cash
they pulled down while the real men
were serving their country?
Let the YELLOW ones give up some OF
their GREENBACKS SO that the boys
who were true BLUE won't see RED
every timo they look at KHAKI.
As a member OF the bar OF wash
inston I can see no legal objection to
using the funds gathered this way to-
ward helping pay bonuses.
