SOLDIER CANNOT
COLLECT STATE
BONUS MONEY
Decides Judges Wright in Denying
Application of Max
Macmillan

Judge John NJ. Wilson of the
Thurston county superior court has
denied the application for a writ of
mandamus against State Auditor c.
w. Clausen to compel him to pay
$465 in soldiers bonus to Max Max
imilian, soldier stationed at Fort
Casey. Philip Tworoger, attorney
for Macmillan, gave notice Of ap-
peal to the state supreme court.
Macmillan claims he is eligible to
the soldiers bonus even though he
lives on a government reservation,
because he maintains a home for his
family off the reservation. He en-
listed in Missouri in 1914 and was
later transferred to Washington
where he intends to make his home.
He has been placed on the reserve
list for period Of three years.
The case is merely test case to
determine whether or not soldiers
living on government reservations
can collect soldiers bonus compen-
sations.

Of Kentucky in the production OF
tobacco. Many farmers are watching

Amos Pruit, a farmer Of this vicinity,
with the intention of also growing
