BREST-LlTOVSK TREATY VOID
Berlin and Moscow Sign New Pact
War Claims Cancelled.

Genoa-A treaty between Germany
and Russia has been signed at Ra-
PABLO, the signatories being the for
eign ministers OF the two countries,
George Chitcherin for Russia and Dr..
Walter Rathenau for Germany
The treaty nullifies the Brest-Litovsk
treaty and re-establishes full diplC-
matte relations on an equality basis.
The pact cancels all war claims, as
we'll as claims arising from the nation
alization Of property.
The treaty signed, it is stated, rep.
resents the conclusion of negotiations
begun many months ago. This action
by delegates to the Genoa economic
conference, in meeting independently
and negotiating a treaty outside the
scope of the conference itself, is point
ed out as establishing striking pre-
cedent for the nations who are partici-
patipg in the session of the Russian

BONUS BILL PROVISIONS

Red Wing EaSle:-IheA passing OF
the service mems bonus bill in the
house Of representatives makes it Of
interest to know what the bill really
provides for. According to announce
ment by Legion officials, the provisions
of the bill may be summarized as fol
lows:
l. Cash. This is to be paid immcdi-
ately on application but is payable on
ly to veterans whose adjusted service
credit is $50 or less. =
2. Adjusted service certificates in
the form Of paid-up 20-year endow-
ment policy, of a value, Of 125 per cent
of the cash allowance, plus interest at
~ per cent, compounded annually.
The veteran has the privilege of I'M
mcdiately borrowing so per cent of
the face value of his certificate and
larger sums at later dates.
5. Vocational training aid of $1.75
a day while taking an educational
course. The amount thus paid is not
to exceed 40 per cent of the adjusted
service credit.
4. Land settlement.
! Any man or woman is eligible to
apply for and receive compensation,
who has served in the armed forces
Of the United States at any time be-
tween the dates Of April 6, 1917, and
November IL, 1918, provided the ser
vice was honorable.
The adjusted service compensation
is figured at $l.0o per day for the
number of days in actual service IN
this country and $1.25 for service
abroad Under the certificate plan, the
ex-service man is entitled to 1875 pei
cent of the amount due him in cash
At the end Of 20 years this will &C
cumulate, together with interest, 50
that the certificate will be worth
slightly more than three times the orr
ginal amount due in cash. Fifty per
cent of the face value can be borrowed
at once from banks or post Offices, with
the certificate as collateral. At later
dates, as the amount Of the value OF
the certificate increases, larger amounts
can be borrowed.
Under the vocational training plan
open to both disabled and those not
disabled, the ex-service men will be
given tuition at accredited schools and
will be paid $1.75 day while study
ing, until they have received 140 per
cent Of their adjusted service credit.
A man who served 100 days in this
country and 200 days in France and
who would therefore have $3.50 coming
to him in adjusted service credit, could
go to school for $50 days, being paid
$1.75 day during that period.
The farm or home aid plan, and the
plan to participate in the development
of waste lands, are not sufficiently
clear as to where the money is to come
from to permit of detailed explanation.

UNCLE DllDLEY's COLUMN
I.ook Facts.,in the Face !

When a merchant sells an article,

over. ss4s 80, .sSl. e B.. 81
Suppose the people of this commus
nifty have 100000 to spend within a
given length of time. IS
Is it better to keep the profits at
home and in circulation, among US, or
is it wiser to send it all awayY
For purposes of illustration, we will
say the Dealers profit is. Is per. cent
or $4,000. .,.,.
II the people send away for this
$4,000 worth of goods all of the mon.
ey they send away will stay away. We
will never see it again. -~ = -.
If, on. the other hand, the people
buy those goods from local dealers the
only money to be sent away will b.
the wholesale cost Of the goods and the
transportation charges. ; '9lsas2s%ssz -,
The 10 per cent profit will remain
at home, as we'll as the overhead ex-
penses, such as clerical hire, insurance,
heat, light, and various other items.
Keeping that money at home does
two important things. It. increases
the money in circulation at home, and
it gives employment to local people.
People who are in the habit of pat
ronizing their home merchants invar-
iably have better and more prosper
Gus community than those, who have
the catalogue habit.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHTNING BOLT.

Artificial lightning bolts which per-

scattering strokes, although on a min
iature scale, have been produced by
Dr Charles P. Steinmetz and associ-
ate engineers of the General Electric
company. The amount of power ex-
nended in each demonstration totaled
more than 100000 hp, obtained by
the generation of 10000 amperes at
10000 volts. The apparatus used
consists essentially of a high-voltage
condenser of large capacity, in the
form of 200 glass plates which are ar
ranged in groups of so, and in two
rows. or banks. Rectifed direct cur
rent is stored in these condensers, one
end representing the thunder cloud in
the sky, in which an electric charge
is gradually accommodating to its ca
pacity, and the other end correspond
ing to the earth. When the tension of
the stored energy becomes greater
than the condenser will hold 100000
volts, at 10000 amperes), a flash to

ing a discharge of lightning to the
ground BY placing pieces of wood or
other articles in the path of this pow
