REHABILITATION Of
FlClALLY DEFINED

There are possibly many people as
we'll as ex-service men who are unfa.
miliar with the scope and meaning Of
the term Rehabilitation" which has
frequently been used in connection
with the training Of disabled veterans.
The official definition as given in Mis-
cellaneous $50, Manual of Procedure,
u. S. Veterans Bureau, is:
"To rehabilitate a disabled man
who has vocational handicap is to
give him that vocational training
which will equip him, as near as his
disability will permit, for civil en-
ployment in an economic status ap-
proximating that which he would pro-
badly have occupied had he not seen
war service"
The Government has undertaken to
see that the men suffering physical
or mental impairment are placed on a
plane equal to or better than that
which they would have enjoyed but
for their military service. A man un-
able to pursue his prewar occupation
because of his war disability will be
trained into a suitable vocation, where
his handicap will be nullified as far
as his efficiency on that particular
work is concerned.

The fianl match play of the season
between the Valley City Country Club
and the Jamestown Country Club was
held yesterday on the local grounds,
resulting in a win for the locals at
20 to 8. The two clubs have held five
match plays this season. jamestown
winning the first three and the locals
the last two. Two of them have been
played on the local course, two on the
Jamestown course and one at Detroit,
MINI. AS one of the jamestown men
said yesterday at Rotary luncheon,
there has been a lot of rivalry and
hard feeling between these two cities
in the past but the installation Of Ro-
tary Clubs and Country Clubs in both
towns has brought the business men Of
the two places together and much
better feeling has been engendered.
The jamestown men are real good fe]-
lows and Valley City folks are always
glad to see a bunch of them coming
down for meetings with the local
men.

NOT YET TOO
LATE TO APPLY

There are a great many former
service men who believe that the
time limit has expired in which to
make application for compensation
for service-incurred disabilities. In
statement issued today from the
headquarters, District Ten, U. S.
Veterans Bureau, Minneapolis, this
is shown to be not true, and we are
endeavoring to clear all such doubts
in the minds of possible applicants.
While August 8, 1922 was the last
date to apply for Certificate of
injury, application for compensation
may be made up to give years from
date of discharged" The Certificate
of injury is for the purpose of allow
ing the man to apply for compensa-
ton at any time after this five year
period, if his disability should begin
to affect him to any appreciate de-
gree. However, if five years have
not elapsed since discharge and
an eX-SerVlce man mas dlSaOlllCy
now, which, however, may later de-
velop into something Of more serious
nature, he should forthwith submit
an application for compensation.
This will make his disability mat
ter of record, and even though now it
may not be rated as of compens-
able degree it will entitle him later
on to compensation and hospital
treatment if this particular disabili-
ty grows more serious. Those who
failed to apply for the Certificate of
injury can therefore now correct this
oversight by making immediate appli-
cation for compensation.

R0TARIANS LUNCH

At yesterdays Rotary luncheon about
a dozen Rotarians from jamestown
were present, being in the city to
play the local Country Club the final
golf match of the season. DR.. Randall
of the State Teachers College was a
guest for the day and Capt. Fay Ross
was also guest of the club. Harry
Flint was called on by Carl Allen
to tell all he could about the rest of
the bunch from jamestown and to
vouch for them if he could. He stated
that he didn't have time to tell all he
knew about them but he could vouch
for them and express their pleasure at
being at the meeting. George Hanna.
as chairman for the day, called Lee
Cowell to speak on the subject, "Shift-
ing Gears" but Lee stated that9he had
not been informed that he was on the
program and was not prepared to
speak, adding that he could not give
much information on the subject as
the cars he sold went thru anything
on high. Chairman Hanna, took as his
subject the discussion of the Towner
Sterling bill. This is an educational
bill which has been before Congress
for the past four years and is design
ed to establisha national educational
system under national financial aid
Mr.. Hanna gave very interesting dis
cussion of the bill, told what it would
provide for and what things it would
restrict. His talk was enlightening
and gave the members much informa-
ton.

STERN WINS BY
KAY0 IN THIRD

Billy Stern met Thor Jensen, of St..
Paul, in an extra ten round go at the
carnival grounds on Saturday night,
winning the fight by the kayo route
in the third round. Jensen never had
a chance against Billy, who played
with him turnout the three rounds,
and evidently knew it before the fight
started. The first round was tame,
Billy merely ducking Jensen's at
tempts to land and tapping him oc-
cassionally just to keep the interest
up. In the second Jensen dug into
the local boy at the start but was un-
able to get past Billy's guard. Just
before the end of the round Jensen
spoiled the fight by feigning knock
out. Billy swung at the jaw but Jen-
sen ducked, the glancing blow strik-
ing him on the back of the head. Jen-
sen dropped and Referee Wylie start
ed the count. At the count of five
time was called. 1t was the opinion
of the fans that Jensen would not
have gotten up if the bell had not
saved him, even though he did not re-
ceive blow that would hurt him.
The third started with spirited
exchange of blows in which Stern
had all the best of it. Jensen ran in.
to a clinch. After breaking away
Stern beat a tattoo on the St. Paul
boy, winding it up with short jab
to the chin. Jensen dropped again
and stayed down for the count.
Two preliminaries were staged be-
fore the main bout between local
boys, both preliminaries going three
rounds. The boys were so evenly
matched that no decision could be
agreed on as to the winners.

can Bee Journal, Hamilton, ILL.,, and

interests Of the beekeeping industry.
Mr.. Pellet is now visiting beekeep-
ers in Manitoba and will meet Mr..
Webster Monday, Aug. 21. Two days
will be spent visiting beekeepers in
Pembina county and around Grand
Forks and Fargo; these are the prin-
cipal Bookkeeping localities of the
state.
reproductive Bookkeeping" text
book written by Mr.. Pellet, will be
used in the course of Bookkeeping at
the N. D. A. C. next winter, accord
ing to Mr.. Webster. Bookkeeping is
in it's infancy in North Dakota; it's
possibilities are scarcely touched"
said Mr.. Webster. "While we can
make great claims for the future of
the bee industry in the eastern half
of the state, it is only in the river
valleys Of the western part of the
state that success has so far been at
tanned in Bookkeeping. However, with
the extension Of the acreage of sweet
clover in this part of the state, bee
keeping will become more dependable.
Gin the Yellowstone valley in an ir-
rigated region are number Of sue
cessful beekeepers. Other places
where Bookkeeping has been successful
are Williston and Bismarck. Any
place where a large amount of sweet
clover is grown, l believe it is safe
to say, will be successful bee locali-
ty and in view of the fact that diver
sified farming is increasing the acre
age of sweet clover in all parts of the
state, the beekeeping possibilities are
increasing accordingly"

ATTEMPT TO ROB
FARMERS ELEVATOR

Some time after $3.50 last evening
some person or persons unknown at
tempted to rob the safe in the office
of the Farmers Elevator Co. The
work was evidently the attempt of
some amateur as the attempt was
crude.
The thief made entry to the office
thru a basement window, breaking
the glass and reaching inside to loosen
the catch. He then went to the safe
and, after pulling down the curtains,
knocked the dial off the front Of the
safe, attempting to unlock the safe in
that manner. He evidently could not
accomplish his aim and tried to pry
the door open with some sort of bar
as the front of, the safe is marred by
the attempt. They were unsuccessful
in the attempt and left without OBJ
tanning any of the contents of the
safe.
This is the second attempt that has
been made to rob the safe of this
company in the past seventeen years,
the first attempt being made several
years ago. Nothing was obtained at
the time the first robbery Was at
tempted. No clues to the identity Of
the attempted thieves have been
found.

SOMETHING ABOUT
YOUR WINTER RYE

'It would seem that stubbling-in
winter rye is not a measure OF protec-
ton unless very late seeding is pract-
iced or the variety grown is not hardy
said DR.. H. L. Walster, agronomist at
the North Dakota Agricultural COL
;lege, today in discussing an expert
ment in methods of seeding winter rye
just concluded.
"The effect of stubbling-in winter
survival is of particular interest,""
said DR.. Walster. "Stubbling in was of
no advantage in the case of Dakold
rye seeded on Aug. rs and Sept. 10.
When, howevr, Dakold was seeded
very late, on Oct. 8, then stubbling-in
increased the percentage of survival
greatly; the fall blowing giving sur
vival of 70 percent while the stubbling-
in gave survival of 941a percent.
''In the case of Aug. Is seeding of
Russian No. 8, stubbling-in was Of no
advantage. With the Sept. 10 seeding
of Russian No. 8, the winter survival
was raised from IS percent on fall
|plowed land to SO percent.
''The most striking effect, however,
came in the case of the Rosen rye.
The Aug. Is Rosen rye put in on fall
plowed land came out with a survival
iof SO percent while that stubSled in
survived the winter up to so per cent.
The Sept. 10 seeding on the fall plow-
ed land showed only 10 percent
survival while the rye stumbled in
survived up to S21s percent. In the
case of the Oct. 8 seeding there was
only percent where the rye was stub
lbled in" -.-.
