ference with the free transmits

The band will play in every town

and during the evening there will be
a moving picture show in towns where
the caravan spends the night-as they
carry their own moving picture pro-
jector. The success of this excursion
is assured and the occasion will be one
long to be remembered by the citizens
of every town in the valley.
Calipatria, Holtville, and Calexico
will be visited today-with band con-
cert, dinner and night show at Calexi-

The Bonus Bill Cost.

approximately So, SOC, 100000 was the
estimate submitted Tuesday by Secretary
Houston of the Treasury as the cost Of
carrying out provisions Of the soldier bonus
bill.
The Treasury Secretary presented his
estimate to the Senate Finance Committee
without comment other than to urge that
no legislation be enacted which would
lay an additional burden on the nations
finances The estimate was accompanied
by figures showing the cost of carrying out
any one Of the five optional provisions of
the bonus bill provided all former service
men chose single plan.
The figures for the various plans ranged
from $i,342. 100000 for the adjusted pay
provision to $4,534 000,0 900 for the in
surance provision. The maximum posi-
bic cost of the vocational training aid and
the farm and home development plans
were placed at $1,8S0,000.OO each while
the secretary said the fifth provision. a
plan for land settlement. held so many
uncertainties that it was impossible to
estimate the possible expenditure.
Submission of the estimated total cost
made an apparent impression upon men,
bers of the committee. which is consider
ing the bonus bill as passed by the House
at the last session. Members declined to
forecast the decision of the committee on
the question of reporting out the measure,
but it was recalled that Senator McCumber
(Republican), Of North Dakota. stated at
the opening of the hearings on the bill
that its passage would depend largely on
the state Of government finances and that
Mr.. Houston had testified with normal ex-
penditures the Treasury would have a de-
felt of 100000 for the year ending
next June 80 and deficit of $500. 00O.-
600 for the following twelve months.

Did the job.


sARvIN CREEK. KY, July IL
There was preceptible decrease In
the attendance at the American
Methodist Episcopal church here.
and Parson Ebediah Freodlandor
follower and his seven deacops were
puzzled.
Maybe II was, yes maybe, that the
interior decorations OF tho church
were so unattractive, at any rate II
was seven years since tho auditor
ium had been painted and the
scrawny pows weren't so good TO the
eye an they might be.
Seven dehcons and a parson got
their heads together and as re-
suit an appropriation for painting
the rostrum and the ceiling and
walls was made from the church
building fund.
The pews wero vanished. too.
The sabbath found the usual
small congregation. but those who
came stuck.
II was tho varnish. They couldn't
leave.
