whether it is light or heavy.

January, pen So, Buff Orpingtons, Jo-

STATE AND NATIONAL
AID TO VETS

Washington, February 14-(Specia
correspondence)-Not only in National
legislation but in state legislation as well,
the Republican party has demonstrated
its desire to do everything possible for
the aid and relief of those who bore the
burden of battle in the European war.
By the end of the fiscal year, 1928. ap-
proprations for which are now being
made by Congress-, the Federal Govern

the distribution of a cash bonus of $50
each, totaling $25O,OOO,OOO. In addition,
Congress has extended special immunities
and privileges to eX-service men that
cannot be reckoned in money. The Vet
erans' Bureau and other sources of sol
dier relief are now spending money at the
rate of about $3.50, 900 per year, and it
is estimated that the Soldiers Bonus
law, now pending, will call for anywhere
between $1,56O,OOO,OOO and $5,25O,OOO0 900.

discloses that the most generous provis-
ion has been made by states having Re
