ALBANY, June s.-~The loan sharks
who have reaped what they thought
3 was rich harvest by preying on re-
t turned World War veterans who were
I! In need of funds will not receive the
bonuses of their victims.
Adjutant General J. Leslie Kincaid,
{ who is chairman of the Soldiers Bonus
+ Commission, intimated to-day that not
4 only would he not give the bonuses to
S the loan sharks, but would pay over
!. the money to the veterans on the
presentation of their papers.
d Many Claims Surrendered
4 From the streams of letters which
shavc poured into the Office here OF the
Il Soldiers Bonus Commission it was
sevident to the Adiutant General and
This assistants that thousands of wound
led veterans, because of their inability
ito work, had turned over their claims
to the bonus to the loan sharks.
z The loan sharks, with their usual
sboldness, have sent in their claims"
TO these bonuses. 1t was learned from
some of the victimized veterans that
only a fraction of the actual value of
the bonuses to which they were en-
flltiSQ was pdlQ 10 ttIieHi,
4 What is concerning the Adjutant
General now is how to get back the
discharge papers of the returned vet
Grams which the loan sharks have in
their possession, so that the men VIII,
went over to fight will get the bonus,
which amounts to $40 for each month
4of service. In no instance does the
bonus exceed $3.50.
Adjutant General Kincaid will hold

wiser, Attorney General Newton, within
a very short time, at which a plan, it
lis hoped, will be devised to restore the
papers of the World War veterans
which have been seized by the loan
sharks.
No Charge for Applications
The Adjustant General issued a warn
ing to-day TO the service men not to
pay penny for the execution of their
bonus applications. He explained that
the application blanks will be dis
itributed to the men through the Amer
3sican Legion posts and through the
posts of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
These veteran organizations and
kindred organizations are to open head
lquarters with corps of clerks and
itypists instructed in the execution of
the blanks Membership in the or
ganization is not necessary to gain as
sistance in the filing of the applica-
stion. All veterans will be taken care of.
3 The system for widespread network
Aof free facilities to aid service men in
filing their bonus applications is now
being arranged by the Adiutant Cen

This bill was drafted for the express

All of these had gardens that
merit especial commentator and
the decision was rendered only
after a second inspection hac
been made and then upon very
fine points of superiority.
1t is the opinion of the garden
judges that the actual saving
derived from the gardens they
inspected must have run well up
into the thousands Of dollars in
grocery bills alone. Two of the
judges were grocers and we think
that they at least realize that
they have something else besides
competition to blame for the
falling off in grocery sales during
the past few months. The garden
committee recommended to the
Roanoke Mills Company an ear
lier inspection in the future than
that made this year : preferably
one about June 15. For the in
formation Of contestants it may
not be amiss to state that weeds
in the gardens or in the back

eliminated such gardens from
chances Of prize winning.
