1t was throughs the efforts Of the
association that the police bonus
Of $3.50 was allowed after Congress
had rejected the proposal to grant
a bonus OF $240. This was granted
In 1920 and since then the associa-
ton has worked continuously to
retain the bonus. At present the
association is working to secure

equal to base pay plus the bonus.
The fight for this will be carried
into the next Congress.

and is not affiliated with any OF the
central labor bodies. Each member
of the police force is eligible for

now numbers between 900 ard TOO

UNION
PoIicemen's Association Has
Won Many Benefits by
Organization.

Functioning continuously since 1t

ia foremost place In the ranks OF
such organizations In America
Its record or achievements IN
cIudes practically all Of the changes
affecting police work and the Inn
provement Of the conditions under
which Il Is performed taking place
IN the District since the formation
Of the organization nearly twenty
years ago. During this period rare
~ has IL channpioned an issue un.
successfully. This has been due
largely to It's aYl1icable attitude
toward the various committees ana

! Primarily formed to advance the
interests Of the, men serving on the
nolice force by securing improve
ments In the 4 conditions under
which they work. and changes and
notifications In rules and reguia'
lions believed to advance the inter.
ests OF the service, the association
also has Its social and beneficial
features. Among the latter II has
established, burial fund which IN
sures the relatives of q policeman
at his death receiving 800, as
contribution toward funeral ex-
uensee. II also looks after the
widows and orphans Of deceased po'
licernen and sees that those

properly. In instances where q po.

Prior to the organization OF the
association no concerted action on
the part of the policemen was pos
sible. Few improvements had been
made in working conditions since
the formation Of the police depart
ment. Through the activities o.
the association many changes ~
the latter have been accomplished
while Increases. in pay have peen
secured. This latter was effected
by the committee appointed by the
association to take UP the question
OF pay increase with Congress. Il
was featured by the only appear
ance Of the rank and file OF the
department before Congress as
body.
Won Eight Hour Day.
Another achievement to be credit
ed to the associations activities
was the enactment into law OF the
present system of discipline gov
erning the department. The SICK
law is another example or It's Ell

there is the enactment Of the eight

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

nened to me somewhat last year.
The drenching rains and cold nights
of May have not been good for young
cotton. and as we all know, cotton
is the only crop we cultivate that
will bring enough money to pay our
heavy taxes. AS it seems to me.
we must find sufficient labor to
make cotton crops or try to begin
an entirely new method as to gem
eral agriculture here In Georgia.
In nv travels here \and there I
see much uncultivated land. 1t Is
easy to understand that lack OF
labor and boil weevil have made
farm lands burden rather than
an asset.
7 have been a farmer and asso-
ciated with farmers nearly all my
| life. 1 saw the ravages made by
Civil war, and still we got on our
feet. because the people were ready
and willing to live on their farm
lands and begin over again to raise
foodstuffs.
But now the bulk Of the people
are trying to get away from tne
farm difficulties and go someWnere
to get a salary job, etc.
The big cities are crowded to over.
flowing with people chasing after
day wages rather than cultivating
the soil, which will give them a
j living if they will plow three months
in the year to make the stuff grow
Where is the end to be? :.
A few years ago farm land could
no sold at big prices. Nowadays we
cannot make enough money to meet
contingencies and taxes ana laI Il"
land is a drag on the market.

they must look after our interests,

How many of you have your
wartime recipes? Get out those that
saved sugar. If the women of this
country will stand solid and not buy
sugar it will have some effect on
prices.
L know many Who hate to deny
themselves anything. Well say that
the little they use won't make any
difference, but it does. There are
others who say that prohibition is
responsible for the price. Some

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Boxer took a few steps forward.
Get out of that path he snarled.
Of you don't, you will be sorry!'
eff you are wise you will go
around him." said Wool Wool mild
ly. You remember Mother Bee
taught us never to NEEDLE with
Prickly Porky."
"HHuhw growled Boxer. NO lit
tie fellow like this is going to make
me go around him. He is going to
get out of this path, or he will be
sorry. I'm not afraid of him. If
he isn't afraid of me, he will be the
next time he sees me-"
Now Boxer had been told all abou:
Prickly Porky, and warned that he
should never be meddled with. But
Boxer never had felt those little
spears of Priekly Porky. When he
had been small he had been more
ready to believe, because then Prick
ly Porky was quite as big as him.
self. But now that he was so big,
Boxer was inclined to laugh at all
the things he had been told about
Prickly Porky. 1t simply couldn't
be that any one so much smaller
was to be treated with respect.
Prickly Porky didn't move. Boxer
looked at the thousand little spears
standing out all over Prickly PorlIy.
An idea came to Boxer. He would
slip his paw under Prickly Perky
and throw him right over on his
back. Boxer reached out a paw.
Something happened. 1t happened
so suddenly that Boxer didn't know
just what did happen. But he knew
that he was hurt. Oh, yes, he knew
that. How he did squat! He jumped
back so suddenly that he tripped
over his own feet, and fell sprawling
on his back. In that paw with
which he had reached out half a
dozen of Prickly Porkys little
spears were sticking.
