"oh, Jack-what?" Myra touched
Barret's arm, stricken at the appall-

the message. Alice gone-his

Alice gone-his daughter gone!

The color ebbed from Myra's face.
She did not dare voice the fear she
felt, nor the sympathy she felt for
the girls mother.

sank into a chair, cropping for some |
word for the man who
was so used to commanding and di-

Certain Exceptions I Above Date
Permitted Under Bill
Amend ent y

Dr.. John N. Rains has received q
Communication reading as follows.
which because OF the important In.
formation it contains for ex-service
men. IS given space here:
No doubt you have read statements
current in the press that no man can
file claim for compensation after Aug.
8, 1922. This information is made
quate and misleading, and we are
therefore, writing you so that you
may have at hand correct interpre-.
tation ofsthe Sweet Bill Amendment
covering this point .'.. II.
Sections 306 and 800 Of the bill are.
somewhat confusing, but it is still
| true that man has five years from
date Of discharge in which to file his
claim subject to the following condi-
ltions:
Il. II. his disability existed at the
date Of his discharge or developed
within one year, he has five years in
which to file his claim.
| 2. II his disability did not develop
within one year Of date of discharge,
he must protect himself by securing
ia certificate of injury (the interpre-
tation of this word includes diseased.
/ This he must secure before August 3.
1922, 1.-THE only exception is in the case
of man discharged after August 3,
1921, in which case the man has a
year from the date of discharge to
secure certificate.) Having once
obtained this certificate, a man may
file his claim whenever his disability
occurs. But If he fails to secure such
certificate before August 3, 1922, he
is simply "out of luck; and according
to the present wording Of the law. In
eligible for compensation:
l There are fortunately the two spec.
ial types of cases which have previ.
ously been called to your attention
neuro-psychiatric disabilities and pull.
mOnary tuberculosis need be traced
back only within two year limit
| from the date of discharge. s-s 4
! We know, therefore, that you will
see the urgent Importance Of having
every man in your community who
may have a service disability file his
claim before August 3, of this year
Filing a claim is the simplest way Of
'Fsecuring certificate of injury; and
If mans disability is at the present
time less than 1919, he is protected

cured his statement now. ~ - s'E ~

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
is cooperating with ten selected coun.
ties in each of the three states. Min
nesota, North Dakota and South Da
kota, in an effort to make better known
what constitutes quality in wheat.
Kandiyohi County is one of the coun-
ties selected: Information regarding
the present commercial methods Of
wheat grading will be disseminated to
assist wheat producers in raising and
placing on the market wheat that will
best meet the demand of the market.
A series of one day county wheat
grading meetings will be held in each
of these counties for: theS purpose of
presenting the object Of this project
and the method of wheat grading to
farmers and elevator men. At each of
these meetings the Federal Grain Spe-
cialist assigned to the state will be on
hand to help conduct the meetings and
demonstrate. We are fortunate in Sc
curing the. services Of Mr. Miller who
has had several years of experience in
grain grading work.
All elevator men in Kandiyohi
County and as many farmers as are
/ Interested are invited to attend this
one day meeting to be held in the
courthouse at Willmar on Thursday,
. July 9th. Mr.. Miller says that he will
inspect and grade all samples Of wheat
that are brought in for that day as
far. as time will permit A new and
up to date set Of equipment is being
shipped for that purpose. In addi-
