STATE AID TO SOLDIERS.

Thirteen States have voted their ex-
service men cash bonuses, in the aggre-
gate sum of S178 10000, and the pay
ment of these bonuses is either under
way or practically completed.
Legislatures of six other States have
authorized the payment of cash bonuses
to their ex service men, subject, under
the law, to popular referendum. The
referendum in each case will be held this
year. The total amount involved in these
States approximates S160, 600, OCO.
Still other States, as well as those vot-
ing cash bonuses, have enacted laws pro-
vldlng for vocational training of ex-ser-
vice men in their respective State insti-
tutions, or for free scholarships in State
normals and colleges; still others provide
for Tree settlement of public lands owned
by the State; or sick benefits to disable

TEXAS POTASH

Samples of salts recently sent from
Texas to the laboratories of the United
States Geological Survey, Department of
the Interior, at Washington, D. c., and
OF the Texas Bureau of Economic Geolo-
gy and Technology at Austin, Tex, con-
tam percentages of potash that suggest
the richness of the potash deposits of AL
&c and Germany. The samples were
obtained from two borings about eighty
miles apart, sunk by oil companies in the
"Red Beds" region of Texas, where salt
beds, red shales, gypsum and other ma
terlals are associated in strata of nearly
the same geologic age and general char
acter as the potash-bearing beds of wes-
tern Europe. The thickness of the pot
ash-bearing beds in Texas represented by
these samples is unknown, however, and
the questions remain to be determined
whether the deposit is thick enough to
furnish potash in as great amount and of
as high grade as those in Europe, OF
whether it is of scientific interest only
and mainly important as showing that
potash rich salts were actually deposited
IN this region and that other borings in
areas where similar beds occur may dis

MOOSEHBAD LAKE

Moosehead lake, the largest of two or
three thousand lakes and ponds with
which the State of Maine is dotted, lies
just above the west central portion of the
State. It is vast reservoir, whose wat
ers are used extensively to float to market
the yearly timber product of the Kenne-
bee Valley, and to furnish motive power
to the many mills along the rivers course.
The lake, according to barometrical COM
pntations made in 1881, is 995 feet above
mean tide, while according to other est-
mates made during the present century
its altitude is variously stated to be be-
tween 900 and 1860 feet. From Green
vile, small village at its foot, and the
only one on its shores, the lake extends
some SO miles to the north; and varies in
width from 1874 rods, opposite Kineo
Promontory where the telegraph-cable
crosses, to about IL miles, the distance
from the east or principal outlet to the
head of Spencer Bay. Its outline is re-
markably irregular, and readily suggests
the ravines and other depressions be-
tween bits of high ground, up into which
stream, checked by barrier of natures
sudden interposition, might have flowed
back, turning former ponds into bays,
and making islands of hills and promon-
tories of ridges. The area of the lake is
said to be 1870 square miles, and its shore
line at high water about 400 miles, but
these latter figures are evidently much
too large.
Fabulous stories have been told of it's
depth, principally on the authority of
men who have lowed logs over it's sur
lace, and their measurements vary from
ooo TO 1000 feet, the latter depth being
CANNED between Farm Island and the So
called Shaw place east of it. Seventy
tiVe soundings made in 1881 and 1882
lalied to disclose greater depth than 231
leet. The character of these soundings
was such as to make it probable that in
Inc middle parts of the lake the bottom
is uniformly level.-Independent- Re-

AN EXCELLENT RECORD

One of the early acts of President Hard
ing was the appointment of new director
of the War Risk Insurance Bureau to re-
organize and overhaul that bureau, which
had become a national scandal because
of its mismanagement. The man selected
for this important and gigantic task-for
the War Risk Insurance Bureau is one of
the largest insurance companies in the
world-was Col. Charles r. Forbes, a
front-line ex-service man, who served
actively in the off ensives of the Somme,
st. Mihiel and the Argonne.
Col. Forbes service abroad, as well as
his career before the war, demonstrated
him to be man of splendid administra-
tive ability. In addition, which, for the
purposes of the position he now fills, was
equally important, he earned the dis
tinction among enlisted men of being
very human and sympathetic in his re-
lations with men.
The wisdom of President Harding's
( selection is proved by the manner in
which the new director is handling the
affairs of the bureau, speeding up its
work, improving the quality of the SER
vice and increasing the efficiency of the
personnel.
LEFTOVER Claims Cleaned Up
When Col. Forbes took charge there
was an accumulation of 5000 old un-
settled claims, and new claims were being
filed at an average rate of 700 day.
Over 1874, 900 of the old claims have been
settled, while new claims have been
taken care of as fast as they were filed.
Some idea of the magnitude of the War
Risk Insurance Bureau may be had from
the following figures. There is nearly
$4,000, 100000 of government insurance
In force. There are, In round numbers,
over 800, 900 separate claims on file. An
average of about $40, 500, 900 is being dis
bursed monthly to claimants and bene-
ticiaries. Insurance claims in the sum of
SAT-, GAO, 1862 and allowances in the sum
of S578, 465, O58 have already been paid
eX-service men and their benefciaries.
In the last few weeks there has been
an increase in the number of new claims
filed. Some of this is due to unemploy-
ment, which causes ex-service men suf-
fering from some disability to ask for aid
against their original intentions. But
most of it is due 10 the fact that ex-
service men who became discouraged and
War Risk Insurance Bureau was man.
