SOME SOLDIERS
ARE DENIED SHARE
OF BONUS MONEY
BOARD ON CLAIMS HOLD THAT
ENLISTMENT OUT OF STATE
DISQUALIFIES THEM

Some of the young men who went
to war and put in their time fighting
the German hordes and the kaiser
are being turned down on their ap-
plication and request for a share of
the money to be passed out by the
state as bonus to those who went
all because they enlisted while out
side the state and the board which
has this matter in charge, after
looking the cases up, has decided
that the fact that the soldier enlist
ed outside the state disqualifieS him
from getting a bonus.
Allen Everhart one of the To-
cal men who are effectei in this way.
He has always been a resident Of
this city and shortly before he en-
listed, he went out to South Dakota,
TO visit with an uncle. While he
was there he decided to enlist and
he served in the army until he was
entitled to nearly 5000 in bonus
money. When he applied for his
bonus, he stated that he had enlist
ed in South Dakota and this started
the men who examine the bonus ap-
pications to investigating. They
agree that Everhart is entitled to a
bonus all right. but because he en-
listed outside the state, they have
derided that the money will not come
from Michigan and unless some
special action is taken in Ever
hart's case it looks as if he will not
get any bonus at all, as South Da-
kota is one of the states which have
as yet taken no action toward giving
q bonus to the boys who went to
war.
There are d number of other men
strated in the same way in this city
and Throughout. the county, who
stand to 90 unrewarded until fed
eral bonus is given or unil the states
in which they enlisted decide to pass
out bonus money.

A tall shrub, Carazana, has given

SCOUTS BUSY WITH
SUMMER CAMP
0UTFITTINC

Less than one month remains until
the opening of the first Imperial coun-
ty Boy Scout camp in the Laguna
mountains. Great preparations are now
under way both at the county office
and out under the pines and oaks of
the Laguna camp, not to mention that
which is taking place in the minds and
plans Of the boys who are expecting to
spent part or all Of the summer there.
In the county office the work Of Sc
lecting and packing the thousands of
things which are necessary in the equip
ment for the. all summer camp, and set
ting aside the boxes, etc. when they
have been filled ready for the trans.
portation trucks, makes the place a
scene of hustling and bustling. Out
at the camp eight new tent houses are
to be constructed apd many other inn
provements are under way. At the
same time Nature is doing her part to
beautify the grounds and their sur
roundings in a way that man can claim
no part. The grass is coming forth to
make a carpet of green to be dotted
here, there and everywhere with the
many colored spring flowers While
the pines and oaks, many of which will
measure from three to five feet in dia
meter at the base are spreading them
selves out getting themselves in read
mess for their part in the great camp.
By the time for the first camp which
will be from June to June 10, every
thing will be ideal. The second camp
will be from June 20 to June 80. The
all summer camp will open June 6 and
continue until September Is.
The cost for each boy attending this
camp will be nominal to cover trans
portation, board, lodging, first aid, ath-
letic equipment, and everything needed
in camp except bedding and personal
effects. Any boy between the age of
10 and 20 is welcome to attend the
camp whether he is a member of the
Boy Scouts or not. However all boys
must agree to observe the rules.
The camp this year will be even bet
ter equipped than it has been in prev
ious years. The mess hall is large
enough to comfortably take care of
100 hungry boys. There will be hot
and cold water for shower baths. The
necessary attention has been given to
sanitation in and about camp, and
every safeguard will be used as to
health.
The three Honor Scouts from each
troop are to be given trip to Laguna
camp the weekend of June 10. These
are the fellows who have won the high.
est honors in each of the three classes
of Scouts. The scoutmasters have kept
a careful check and the competition
has been keen. They will not know
| who the winners are until Friday night
when the announcement will be made
at Calexico at the campfire at the last
encampment which will be May ~ and
