New Bonus BiII.-Senator

New Bonus BiIl.-Senator Bursum
Republican. New Mexico, has intro
duced in the senate another soldiers
bonus measure, defined in its title as
"the veterans refund and adjusted
compensation act" The measure
would provide for payments Of $50 for
each month of service, together with
the return Of all compulsory allotments
made by the service men and payments
on account of government insurance
between April 5, 1917, and July l, 1919
No provision is made for financing the
bonus. Where the amount due vet
eran did not exceed $50 it would be
paid in full on October 1, 1928. In all
other cases, fifty per cent. would be
paid October l, 1928, and the remainder
on October l, 1926, together with inter-
est at 4 per cent. The obligations given
by the government on unpaid sums
could not be used as security for loans
except under regulations prescribed by
the secretaries of war and of the navy.

FOOD IN MOSCOW
Conditions at the Capital More Pros
porous Than in the Interior.

porous Than in the Interior.
Diamonds and food are the chief at
fractions in the great open air markets
of Moscow, which are running full
blast this summer after several years
Of inactivity writes a correspondent.
Food of all kinds is to be had in
abundance, there being meat flour, ard
canned goods. The display reminds
one of market in the United States.
The prices generally are higher than in
America. The meats, fresh, dried and
smoaked, are heaped in enormous piles
in the small stalls in front of which
the Moscow housewives assemble in
throngs all day long in search of their
wants of the moment.
Tons of potatoes and fresh veget-
ables just from the fields, are dumped
into the stalls in the morning. Wo-
men of the neighbOrhood fill their
baskets and then hurry from the mar
kct place in an endless procession
which continues until late in the aft
ernoon.
Seeing the heaps of food of ali kinds,
even bottled pickles from London, it is
difficult for foreign visitors. TO realize
that in various parts of Russia today
the American relief administration
alone is feeding approximately 10000
600 persons, chiefly as a result of cf-
fects brought about by war, rcvolu-
ton, and the famine of last year.
In the diamond and jewelry section
of the markets the dealers, chiefly
women, sit in long rows displaying
their wares on their fingers and about
their necks. Their blOuses and shirt
waists serve as a background for
brooches, ear rings, necklaces, tiny
jewelled watches and other articles of
personal adornmcnt, which came down
from the aristocracy, perhaps, through
want and the pawn shop" route.
The diamonds are not of the best
but it is here that the largest crowds
assemble, even in greater numbers

FORT MILL MATTERS

Correspondence of The Yorkville Enquirer.
Fort Mill, S. c., Sept 25-A large
number of prominent citizens of Fort
Mill were disappointed Sunday after
noon when they went to the junction or
the Pleasant Valley and Camden Char
lotte highway to meet and escort Gov
ernor Wilson G.. Harvey to the North
Carolina line, as Governor Harvey came
from Columbia via Rock Hill and Fort
Mill. A few people who went to Plne-
vile and down to Flint Hill church en-
countered the governors party near the
latter place, and reported TO MIN the
good intentions of his admirers mere
He is expected in Fort Mill Tuesday
morning for a short stay on his return
trip to Columbia.

saws that offenders are making things
easy for him. A few nights ago, having
an offender in charge, he passed a ne
rro's house, and the occupant, seeing a
flash light, called out to know what II
was. The offender answered that IT
was the police, when the negro told
him to send the policeman to him,
thinking it was only a joke. Officer
Hammond went to the negro VINO

he was carrying a concealed weapon
