Baccalaureate Sermon

A large and cultured audience
gathered at the Baptist church Sun
day evening to hear the Baccalaure
ate sermon delivered to the gradu-
ating class from the Mt. Sterling
High School by the Rev. r. c. Gold
smith. The class was a fine looking
body of young men and women who
had finished the prescribed course Of
this institution. John 1910 fur
nished the basis for the sermon of
character and service. The sermon
was free from the usual paths for
such occasions and was pronounced
an effort in perfect accord with
the occasion, dealing with thoughts
new as drawn from the old.
The closest attention was given
the speaker who furnished poetic
genius, prose from the Masters and
oratory closely akin to that delivered
in days gone by, by our own Breck-
Clays and Marshalls. The
thoughts stored and woven into the
warp and woof of men and women
would give them an Inheritance to all
that is worth living for

New War Risk Ruling
and Compensation

Fl. G. Hoffman, of this city, who
has handled for the ex-service boys
of this county practically all mat
ters pertaining to their government
insurance and compensation, has
called our attention to the following
and suggested that we publish for
the benefit of those interested. Mr..
Hoffman very kindly tenders his
services to those who may wish to
avail themselves of it.
A bulletin entitled ''New Provisions
For Compensation and Medical and
Surgical Care and Supplies Under
the War Risk and officially listed
as "LD-30,' lis announced by Di-
rector r. G. Cholmeley-J Jones of the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, as
ready for distribution.
The circular which is addressed to
former service men and a copy of
which may be obtained from the Bu-
reau of War Risk Insurance, sets
forth the warning that a certificate
of inquiry from the Bureau, within
one year from the date of discharge
or resignation, is necessary to pre-
serve eligibility for compensation on
the part Of anyone who received in
jury or contracted disease while in
the service. To quote the bulletin:
"No compensation is payable unless
the disability or death can be traced
to an injury or a disease incurred
in the service.
"Many persons, however, have re-
ceived injuries or contracted disease
in the service and the ill effects
thereof do not appear until some time
after their discharge or resignation.
If the disability resulting from the
injury or disease contracted in the
service does not occur before one
year after discharge or resignation
you may be unable to obtain COM
pensation, for the law provides that
when such disability or death occurs
as shown by the medical evidence
after one year after your discharge,
a certificate of injury must have been
obtained from the Director of the
Bureau. within the year from the date
of your discharge in order that the
government may pay you, or your de-
pendents."
'If you were injured or contracted
disease while in the service, even
though the injury or disease was of
a minor character, be sure to ap-
ply for certificate of injury before
one year after. the date of your dis
charge or resignation, in order to
protect yourself and your depend
ents. Act now.
'Do not fail to get this certificate
f you sustained injury or disease in
he service which, even though it may
lot bother you now, may become ag-
yravated hereafter. Apply to the
nearest District Supervisor of the
Public Health Service, or write to
he Chief Medical Advisor, Bureau
