COUNTY BEARS
HEAVY BURDEN
Payments Into Hail Fund
Far in Excess of Amount
Returned.


Grand Forks county farmers paid
s2S,150.62 into the state hail ;nsu--
ance fund in excess of what was paid
out for losses in the county during
the last year.
The fat three cent TAI in the coun-
ty~~amounted te S322,674.H. and the
indemnify tax to ss7,123.74. making
a total Of s1os.6s7.ss. while the
amount repaid to the farmers was
$~S1.747.27.
In many counties of the state the

was repaid TO Cass county farmers.
Richland county, paid s%9O,634.1e. and

Adjutant General Says Serv.
ice Men Now i'll State
G Get First Money.

A number OF North Dakota service
men who, since their return from
t;he service, are employed or living in
u..lcr states, have written j. E.
cs;1un telling that their claims
'ert ftom the Returned Sol
ars' Fund, under the provisions
.-I s,.,tc legislature of North
have been disallowed, due to
.ae..ts of this state.
sIsrs {iineman communicated with
~. Fraser, adjutant general at
.@.aEek, in regard to he matter,
mas received from him the opin-
.h.st every service man who is an
ac u@l resident of North Dakota
,luuld receive the bonus. providing
he complies with the law. and he
draws attention to the ruling which
states that the money must be used
in North Dakota. nles in individu-
al cases the adjutant general decides
otherwise.
According to the adiutant general.
it was the intent of the state legis-
lature and of his office that the man
who was living in North Dakota
should receive his n first. In this
the American Legion officers agree.
he points out. and that therefore up
to the present time all payments
have becn made to men who are al
this time residing in this state.
In his communication to Mr.. Wine
man. the adjutant general 4 in
part:
Not Actual Residents.
I'm the spring of 1917 there were
a great number of men here for
spring work. they were not actual
residents. their homes being in other
t@r = So. t-,,~ tl,~,. ~ - t~~.&
n were sent into service by North
Dakota boards. but upon being dis
charged they have returned to their
homes in other states. and have no
intention of establishing their resi-
dence here. These men I do not con-
slider having any claim upon the
North Dakota bonus. On the other
hand a great number of actual North
Dakota men were in Montana in the
and were credited to Montana when
they entered the service. but upon
being discharged they have returned
to North Dakota and are now living
here. This is their usual home and,
they are the boys the legislature IN
tended to assist.
I'VE sent our circular, No. %, to
every. man who had given his address
outside of the state. notifying him
disallowed section. This does not
mean that his claim will not be paid.
it Simply means hat from the intor-
nation on hand we cannot approve
the claim at the present time. but ev-
cry opportunity will be given these
men to file additional proof. and this
office will reinstate their claims i'm
mediately upon receipt of such
proof
According to the adjutant general,
the fact that North Dakota is grant
ing the largest bonus of any state in
1 the union, makes it a shining mark
for every man who was ever in tbs
state, and he states that hundreds of
applications are coming in from ex-
service men who have no valid claim,

SAYS SOME VERY
STRONG WORDS !.
AGAINST HYMNS

Colne,- England, April 29.-Some
YER 1tfylgE words about hymns have
been said by the Rev. j. H. Hopkin-
son. vicar of Holy Trinity church
here and son of the former vice
chancellor of Manchester university.
I'VE have learned" he says. that
war is not a matter of fluttering ban
ners n clashing swords anda beating
drums, but merely a sickening and
dirty b%utclery Of lads in waterlogged
or. fly-infested trenches.
Eve shall be less ready than we
were to compare the movement of
the church that of a victorious army.
Hymns that we could sing unthink-
ingly before the war have become a
lying blasphemy.
Who would now sing Like a
Mighty Army Moves the Church OF
God?'"

Snow in Salmon Country

Cattle and sheep men who have
stock in the Salmon river country are
much disturbed because of the heavy
SHOWS in the mountains, according to
Duncan johnson, who has returned
from survey about rs miles from
New Meadows. The snow in that
country is approximately % inches
deep, according to Johnson He says
the stockmen have been caught with
out feed and the snow is so deep that
it is impossible to take the animals
over the divide. Unless warm wealth
err thaws the heavy SHOWS many ami
mails will perish for. want of food, is
the opinion of johnson. And here it
is so warm that B. V. DIS are uncom-

Office Sought the Woman

Judge Ed Bryan, who was in town
last week to hold short session Of
district court, was accompanied by
Mrs. Bryan, and hereby hangs a story.
The state Democratic convention NOM
mated Mrs. Bryan as one Of the pres
idential electors from this state. At
the time she was visiting in Western
Oregon, and the news came to her
like thunderclap out of clear sky.
The office had sought the woman
without her knowledge or desire. Up
on returning home, she sought to be
relieved Of the honor thrust upon her,
but she could get no help from her ju-
dicial husband or friends, and being
unable to find way to get off the
ticket she had to stick. And friend
husband is nightly pleased, and now
if he can only persuade her to take the
stump and discuss the League Of Ma
tons, the Armenian mandate, the rail
road, labor, prohibition, profteering,
high cost of living, immigration, tariff,
and the numerous other questions at
issue, he will be in his glory and will
have more confidence in Governor Cox
carrying Idaho. But joking aside,
Mrs. Bryan is bright woman, realiz-
es the Importance of the office thrust
upon her and is in the game to do her
full duty, and to demonstrate that wo-
men can and will become factors in
government.

PLANNING OUT
THE PROGRAM
At Chicago for the National Repub-
lican Convention Next
Week
ASSOCIATED Press)

Chicago, June 1.-Hearings on the
claims of contesting delegations to the
convention continued today to occupy
the republican national committee.
A decision in the three-cornered fight
in Florida was first on the program
Next came a three-cornered contest
from the District of Clumbia. The
Georgia contest. which will be the
most acrimonious on the list, will be
followed by the Louisiana contests.
The committee didn't hope to get be-
yOnd the Louisiana contest today.
Things are beginning to stir around
the headquarters of the candidates
and their managers. The hotels are
beginning to show the first symptoms
Of the campaign week of noise and
confusion. The various headquarters
are blooming out with banners.
The generally accepted tentative
program seems to be Tuesday fo
temporary organization and keynote
speeches, Wednesday for permanent
organization and work of the resolu-
tiOns committee and framing the plat
ford, and Thursday and Friday FOR
voting if two days are needed.
All politicians seem agreed that
nobody will be nominated on the first
ballot.
