The Way it is Figured.


Adjusted service pay, or adjusted
service credit, would be figured on
the basis of 81 day for domestic
service and S1.25 a day for foreign
service less the $50 paid at discharge.
But in no event could the amount OF
credit of the veteran who performed
no overseas service exceed $500 and
the amount Of the credit of the veteran
who performed any overseas service
exceed S625.
Adjusted service certificates would
have a face value equal to the sum OF
the adjusted service credit Of the vet
eran increased by 25 per cent, plus
interest thereon for 20 years at the
rate of Az pc cent a year compound
ed annually. ~.
Loan Authorized.
Until January 1, 1926, any national
bank or any bank or trust company IN
corporated under the laws of any
state, territory, possession, or the Dis
trict of Columbia would be authorized
to loan to any veteran upon his prom
issory note secured by his adjusted
service certificate any amount not IN
excess of so per cent of the total OF
the adjusted service credit plus inter-
est thereon from the date1o the GER
tifcate to the date of the loan, at the
rate of AZ per cent year.
Should the veteran fail to pay the
principal and interest of the loan with
in six months after it's maturity, the
government would pay to the bank the
amount of such principal and interest
and take over the certificate. This
would be restored to the veteran at
any time prior to its maturity upon
receipt from him Of the amount paid
by the government to the bank plus
interest on that amount at the rate OF
Az per cen a year, compounded an
nually.
The rate of interest charged the
veteran by the bank could not exceed
more than 2 per cent year, the rate
charged at the date of the loan for
the discount of commercial paper by
the federal reserve bank for the fed
eral reserve district in which the bank
was located.
If a veteran died before the naturl-
ty Of the loan the government would
nav to the bank the principal and IN
terest and to the beneficiary named by
or to the estate of the veteran, the
face value Of the certificate less the
amount paid to the bank.
After January 1, 1926, veterans
holding certificates could make direct
application through postmasters fol

$50 WILLIAMS COUNTY FARM
Frs JOIN WHEAT GROWERS

Farmers of North Dakota are join
ing the north Dakota Wheat Growers
association in increasing numbers, and
by the time the 1922 wheat pool is
ready for the market it is expected
that the membership will reach the
10000 mark.
One hundred and fifty farmers of
Williams county joined the organiza-
ton in body. These had all been
members of the U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc, but following the action of the
North Dakota farm bureau federation
in advocating an amalgamation of the
two bodies in this state, this group of
farmers decided to take immediate ac-
ton. It is their intention to operate
a local elevator in Williston and
handle their wheat.
