ed the legislation would give each
veteran the right to select any one
of the following plans:
Adjusted service pay, but only if
his adjusted service credit did not
exceed $50.
Adjusted service certificate with
bank and government loan provi-
sions.
Vocational training aid.
Farm and home aid.
Land settlement aid.
The estimated cost for each of
these plans is s16,000.Ooo for the
cash payments; $3.364,909,4S1 for
the adjusted service certificates:
S41c, 900 for farm. home and land
settlement aid and s52325,O00 for
vocational training. The expenses
under vocational training and the
cash bonus would end in 1925, under
this estimate, and those for farm.
home and land settlement aid in
1929. Expenses under the certificate
plan would continue to 1866. with
total of s655,991.67o to 1913. when
due.
Explaining the bill. Chairman Nc
Cumber said in his report that the
amount of the adjusted service cred
it would be at the rate of 81 a day
for domestic service and S125 for
foreign service, less the $50 bonus
paid when veterans were discharged.
In no event however. could the total
exceed $500 for domestic service and
SG25 for both domestic and foreign
service.
The adjusted service certificates,
payable after 90 years from the date
of issue or sooner, upon death would
have a face value of 3.O15 times the
total dmount of the adjusted service
credit. Until Jan. i. 1926, banks

amount equal to so per cent. Of the
adjusted service credit plus interest

Matched chickens offered at low prices
From his office here, j. krejci conduct

said his chicken farm" was his office.
The scheme became known when
angry purchasers called at the Colonial
building, 100 Boylston street, lookin
for "kredjci and the return of their
money" He had left Boston, however,

proposition to the many victims. The
prices quoted were about SO below the
arket price per hundred chicks.
None of those who answered the ad-
vcrtisement is believed to have ever
visited Boston, or at least know the
city but slightly, for by the widest
stretch of the imagination the Colonial
building could not be visualized as
the site of a poultry farm. This was
learned to their sorrow by the rural
visitors. whose conversation regarding
chickens" to the elevator men in the
building sounded rather suspicious
The only Chickens" known around the
Colonial building were of the genus
homo.

Thirty thousand majority for Nestos
looks to the Independent like pretty
fair licking but if Bill wants to come
back for more, he'll be cheerfully &C.
commodated.
The Courier-News blames Nestos
for his apparent collusion with the
grain gambler to destroy the newly
enacted grain grading law" for "per-
mitting the assets Of closed banks to
be eaten up by execution levies, at
torneys' fees and other wasteful
items," and "for crowding and press
ing at a time like this, of farmers on
school land purchases, when there is
no money to pay"
: Those N. P. LIS are great chargers.
The next thing you know they'll be
charging our governor with being re-
sponsible for the cold weather, for
the low price on grain, the high price
on gasoline, and the baby's sore
throat.
The Courier-News suggests waiting
until after the legislature ends, sub
NIT the new laws to the people and
recall the governor at the same time.
If we didn't have an election about
every ninety days, those N. P. L.
leaders might be out of work.

stationed in Virginia. He was or
dered to report at Washington, and
did so. Arriving in the city he went
to the theater and reached there just
in time to see his father shot.
Later he was secretary of war un-
der Garfield. He was asked by the
president to meet him at the station
where Garfield was to take the train,
and he reached there just in time to
see the president receive his fatal
wound.
Again, on the invitation of Presi-
dent Mckinley, he attended the for
NAL opening of the Pan-American ex-
position at Buffalo, and was with the
presidential party when Mckinley
was shot. s..
That one man, not member of the
personal staff of any one of these
three presidents should have been
present by pure chance when each of
them was assassinated is a train Of
coincidence which, in all probability,
has never been paralleled in history.

IT'S A HOME DRIVE

Friends Of the Salvation Army have
expressed gratitude for the response
of Minot representatives in organic
ing their Annual Appeal for Mainten-
ance of Minot activities.
Minot is in the habit of doing things
"right", and it will not feel comforta-
BILE if it permits so worthy an organ
ization as the Salvation Army to
close their books with any part of the
$4,100 lacking.
To put it plainly: What superior
claim has the Near East Drive, or the
Far West Drive or any other drive
outside Of Minot? OF course, not one
of them have vestige for grounds of
preference, however deserving of sup
port they may be.
Not one cent ought to be permitted
to 60 out Of this town until the very
modest obligation that this commun-
ity owes the Salvation Army is liqui-
dated. 1t will take but $4,10O to do it.
Will you be one to do your bit
toward reducing that amount today ?
The Ward County independent., 1922-12-14

If you have good home, an abun-
dance Of fuel, plenty to eat and cloth
ing to keep you warm, be thankful
and rejoice. If you have been blessed
with these comforts, don't forget
that there are many folks, no doubt
right in your very midst, who are
suffering this winter for the want of
sufficient food, fuel and clothing. The
unfortunates we always have with us
and while an effort is being made
continually to relieve suffering, spe-
cial efforts will be made around the
Christmas season to see that they
have some cause to be merry. There
are people who are too proud to beg.
There are many folks blessed with
abundant means willing to help such
people, but they are backward in Of
fering their services. The Salvation
Army and the United Charities know
who are deserving of assistance. Last
year the Elks, assisted by the Rotary
club and other organizations, distrib.
uted hundreds Of baskets of food
about the city on Christmas Eve.
While plans are not yet completed,
without any question, something Of a
similar nature will be done again this
wear.
