On the first page Of this paper is an
article reproduced from the Farming
ton Times complaining of road con-
ditions between Iron Mountain and
Pilot Knob. The blame for that
stretch of bad road is placed wrong
fully upon Iron county. The highway
between the points mentioned is part
and parcel of st. Francois county's
belongings and responsibilities about
two miles of as poor road as one
would desire to avoid. The editor of
the Times, upon investigation, will
stand corrected and have no doubt
will make che amende honorable.
| An inspection of the apple orchards
of the Missouri and Arkansas Ozarks
reveals that there is prospect for a
bumper crop of fruit. January
weather conditions held the buds DOR
mant SO that il there is no big freeze
this spring the yield will be good.
Last year the Ozark crop was total
loss because of the heavy freeze at
Easter. Fruit experts declare that
one of the largest strawberry crops in
the history of the state will be raised
in the Ozark section this year. In
creased acreage, new shipping pro-
duction points, new vines which begin
bearing this year and favorable
weather it is estimated that 10000
acres will be cultivated and planted
in grapes this year.
According to an opinion given by
Assistant Attorney General Henry
Davis, Of this state, who is member
OF the American Legion, SMissouri's
soldier bonus fund Of $l5, 5,OOO, 900 can
not be prorated. 1t must be paid out
in full to each applicant at the rate
of $40 per month for each month
spent In the service OF the country,
in the war with Germany, up to the
maximum of twenty five months SER
vice or $3.50. The bonus commission
has no authority to pro rate the pay
ment of the bonus to soldiers, sailors
and marines, but must pay them in
full in the order in which the appli-
cants are received and approved, and
! transmit vouchers to the auditor in
the same manner. Adjutant General
Raupp made request for the ruling on
the question If the bonus to each
soldier could be pro rated if it was
| found the $15, 100000 would not pay
all the claims.
