LARGE sum
FOR VETERANS

More than $5O,0OO,O0O will be paid
to Wisconsin veterans under the fed
eral bonus law, according to the best
estimates available.
The figures are more or less a
rough guess, based on the number of
payments under the state bonus act.
The state paid it's service bonus to
$4,000 men, while nearly 5000 9TH
ers applied for the educational bonus
All would come under the federal
bonus
The rate of pay under the service
bonus of the state was SO month
The federal rate, 81 day for men in
the camps at home and $125 a day
for men who saw overseas service, is
three times the state rate.
To the $4,000 men who have re-
ceived $40 a month, the state paid
$16,0O0,00O. To have compensated at
the same rate the soldiers who pre-
ferred the educational bonus would
have increased the total to nearly
$18,000,O00 The federal government,
it is expected will pay the same men
three times this amount, or about 1884,
100000.

BONUS TOPUT
4,152 CLERKS
ON payroll

President Coolidge on Tuesday at
Washington indicated to callers his
regret over the action of congress in
passing the adjusted compensation
bill or So called soldier bonus meas
ure, over his veto, and said that the
plans for reduction of federal taxa
ton will suffer while the national
debt will be icreased to the extent
that the bonus plan makes inroads
into the federal treasury.
The president told callers that
the bonus will seriously affect taxa
ton this year and in years. to come,
pointing out that to raise the burden
of taxation from the shoulders of the
people and business, it would be nee
essary to reduce the public debt and
expenditures and this can not be done
when measures like the bonus law
were adding to the burden of the
federal finance.
4,152 Employees Needed
Plans for the administration of the
bonus were being pushed on Tuesday
Probably $500 new clerks, stenogra :
pliers and typewriters will have to be
added to the government pay rolls.
The war department will need 3,309
and the veterans bureau 400, making
a total of 4, 1872
These appointments will be made
under the civil service commission
under competitive rule.
The war department. has already
given an order for printing 100000
blanks; 100000 of these will be ap
pIcation blanks and the rest will be
books of instruction telling the vet
Grams how ito fill out and return their
blanks to the government.
Each application blank will contain
four pages of printed matter. Each Of
the instruction blanks will contain
two pages of printed matter 1t will
take nearly 80 days to print the blank
forms.
Cost to be 100000
It is estimated the clerical work
will last about a year after which
there can be reduction in personnel.
There appears to be no doubt that it
will cost the government more than
100000 the first year to admins
ter the levy, print the blanks and get
them to and from the veterans.
1t is estimated that it will cost be-
tween 100000 and $4,000, 900 for the
additional clerk hire.

THE SEAL SALE
WAS A SUCCESS
Campaign Against tuberculosis
Generously Aided by Citi-
ZenS of the Town
ORDERS STILL COME IN

The sale of tuberculosis
Christmas Seals in Chapel Hill
last Wednesday brought in $3.50,
and orders for the seals are
still coming to Mrs. Moody
Durham, chairman of the
women's committee in charge of
the campaign. It is expected that
before Christmas perhaps a
hundred dollars will have been
added to the collections of the
first day.
Miss Kitty Lee Frazier won
the prize-a gold pen and a gold
pencil-offered by R. w. Foister
for the coed selling the most
seals. The second grade won the
free Pickwick tickets offered by
W. S. Robertson to the grade
whose children made the largest
sales.
The outcome of the sale makes
it possible for the committee to
continue it's support of the
health work in the village.
Again a contribution of $3.50
will be made to help pay for
the services of the negro nurse,
and the contribution to the
Kings Daughters will be re-
peated.
In addition, modern health
crusades will be carried on in
both the white and the negro
schools, and there will be cam
paign in the interest of better
nutrition for children.
Some people have confused
the tuberculosis Seal Fund with
the Red Cross, as evidenced by
checks intended for one organi-
zatiOn but made out to the other.
The Red Cross not only does
general relief work but also con-
tributes to some of the same en-
terprises that are helped by the
Seal Fund. Gifts to the Red Cross
should be sent to Otto Stuhl-
man, for the Seal Fund to Mrs.
Moody Durham.

Surprise for ,Paulsen
Laundry Force Makes Him Present
of a Gold Watch

After G. H. Paulsen had
reached home Monday night had
climbed into his bedroom Slip
pers, and had stretched himself
in his favorite ARMCHAIR, the
telephone bell rang.
"Please come to the office and
help us straighten out kink in
the books" said his assistant at
the University Laundry.
He groaned, albeit good
naturedly, made his appearance
suitable for the street, and drove
to his office. There he found the
whole force gathered.
First they showed him a gold
watch with his initials engrav-
ed on the back. Then they open
ed the door leading into the big
laundering room and led him
through. A supper, including
chicken salad and other good
things, had been laid out on a
long table, and the superinten-
