UNCLE SAM AND 80
THE DISABLED SOLDIER
By Dr.. Frank Crane

by LII. FRANK frame
While there is SO much criticism
of the government going on. and now
that the war is over nobody seems
to have a kind word for Uncle Sam.
/ would like to call attention to one
really good and first class thing he
is, doing.
The government has appropriated
500. 0O0,0 900 to help all those who have
been ineapacftated by the war to lit
themselves for jobs.
That is quite tidy sum. Do you
know about it? Are ysu disabled
soldier, or do you know Of one? II
so, here is the chance to find out
that the country that asked men 30
fight for it is not altogether migrate
full
Evdry week hundreds Of service
men are discharged as cured from
the government hospital and at the
same time returned to civilian sta
tus, but these young men in many
cases are not physically and mentally
able to take up their former voca-
tion. The federal board for voca-
tional education has $9O>OOO,0Oo at
its disposal and is prepared to give
training to any disabled ex-service
men honorably discharged since
April 7, 1917, who is unable to carry
on at his former work without a real
handicap and whose condition makes
such training feasible. In this way
the government has provided a CON-
ParatiVely happy and independent
future for such men.
The government now pays men
from $50 to $40 per month, accord
ing to mans dependents and the
cost Of living in the locality in which
he is trained. These men are train.
ed at many OF the best professional
and trade schools in the country;
others are trained on the Job with
some practical firm; still others pre-
fer to keep their present positions
and study in night courses without
training pay in order to advance them
selves.
II a mans eligibility can be estab.
lished, he can be almost immediatalv
enrolled in school or placed n
training for trade with some firm
Men from out of town will be fur
nished free railroad transportation
upon request and given meals and
lodging where necessary.
Lack of schooling does not mako
a man ineligible. The board will en-
deaVor to train the most iIliterafa
foreigners. Many men think if is
necessary for them to leave homo
towns in order to get training of anv
sort As the board places a great
many men in placement training on
the job" it is quite possible that
man can live at home while taking
training.
II any man has a reason wbv no
cannot accept vocational training At
the hands Of the federal board he "a
urged to bring that reason to the at
tentlon OF the board. If he is rigbt
his case will be retired to the boards
inactive files until he wishes to open
1t again. If he has been misinform-
ed, the board will set him right. The
board states it is continually rum
ing into men VIII odo not know that
they may be entitled, for instance, to
compensation from the war risk in

elected on the Regular ticket at the
recent election, offered a resolution
ordering all departments to notify the

President Cleveland once said: makes little diff
ference what else you teach boy-f you teach him
to save his money he will likely be a success"
Mr. Cleveland knew what success means. He
knew what it takes to bring success His advice was
based upon personal knowledge He had been
through the mill"
Every ambitious boy should save his money
more than that he should have bank account Of his
own.
Start yours today-here-a dollar opens an &C
count and gets you passbook, and we pay interest
on all savings deposits.

which would means so much to your future as sub
