Why Veterans Should Apply
For Bonus Immediately

Muy HCtCTuiiS CHUulu hpply
For Bonus Immediately
Major General Robert C. Davis,
adjutant general of the army,
who is in charge of the admin
istration of the bonus, makes the
following announcement which
is OF Importance to all ex.servicel
men.
From the viewpoint of the(
veteran it is imperative that i'll
he intends to apply for the world
war bonus. that he do 80 at once.
In the first place if lie should die
before submitting his appli
cation, his widow, children orl
other dependent will received
approximately only one third II
the amount that they would H. vel
received had he filed his appi-
cation prior to his death.
SECOND, The face value OF
the insurance certificate given
the veteran is dependant upon his
age at the time of filling his ap-
plication, the amount decreasing
as the age increases. By delay
ing filling his application the
veteran may place himself in an
other insurance year, thereby re-
duciBg the amount of insurance
he will receive.
LASTLY, The cash pay
ments provided for by the act be-
come due March LIST. 1925, and
unless the veteran applies in
suff1 eient time in advance of that
date for his claim to be acted on,
the payment to him will be de-
layed.
i To date there have been re.
lceived from the four and hall
million veterans only one million
three hundred thousand appli
cations. The necessary clerica
| force of $500 clerks, after having
been obtained and thoroughly in
structed in their du les, are now
able to handle 0,000 applications
daily. During the month oi =
tober the daily average ut = =
cations received was only Olu

airy |, 1928. the time limit with
in which applications can BIZ
made can result only in a mat
erial increase in the cost of adj
/ ministration which the war de
, partment is endeavoring to cut
r to minimum.
II 1t can be clearly seen from q
; consideration of the foregoing
facts that it is of the utmost
r benefit TO the veteran, both as a
veteran and taxpayer to apply
for the bonus at once If he
: does not intend to apply at all lie
should notify the adjutant
general, United States Army,
Washington, ID. c., at once SO
that The government will know
how many applications to expect
and can cut tile clarical force EN-.
lpleyed to a minimum.
Should application blanks be
needed, they may be obtained

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 10. 1924.
Senator B, I'd
A Candidate,

The announcement by Senator
Harry Flood Byrd of mis- cam
didsS for the Democratic guber-
material nomination will not
come as a surprise to the people
OF the Valley of Virginia where
he is so we'll known and so uni
versally admired.
Now will it come asa surprise
TO the people of Virginia who
will see IN the announcement the
inevitable result of Senator
Byrd's lead srsiiip in the bitterly
cor ested campaign OF the road
bond issue, when the taxpayers
OF tile State found salvation from
an unnecessary burden because
of this leadership.
The endorsement of Senator
3yrd's position on the questions
involved in the road issue. by a
ma jority of over $4,000, was a
victory which carried with it un-
disputed leadership, and the
subsequent ovation at the party
convention in Norfolk solidified
ehind this leadership influences
which made Mr.. Byrd the choice
of a great number of Virginians
from every section of the State,
for the highest. Office within
their gift.
Though a VALLEY man, Senator
Byrd is free from the taiHt cl
sectionalism, and the principles
for which he stands, and fol
which. in an outstanding and
honorable public career, lie has
fought. are as much for the besl
interests of the Southwest. OF
Piedmont. or Underwater, Vir'
ginia, as they are for the Valley
for they all involve economic
problems based upon the common
veal.
Clean, capable and conscien-
tious, Senator Byrd, by his can
didacy. offers the Democrats OF
Virginia an opportunity TO
choose a governor WHO will carry
into the high Office an intimate
knowledge of the needs of the
Old Dominion and one who, from
the lessons learned in his upward
journey through an eminently
successful business career, will
be enabled to serve his State as
few men are qualified to serve.
Whatever opposition may de-
velcp, as the time OF the primary
draws near. must be builded
upon the sanction of the bond
ing of the State for road pur-
oses. and in face of the over
whelming majority against such
bonding, for Senator Byrd, as no
other man ia Virginia, persona
fies the psY-as-Vou-go plan of
highway construction and main.
tenance aud the adherents to this
plan will be almost solid in their
support of the Winchester cam
didate,
The issues of tile whole cam
paign may be epitomized in the
one word economy" and with
his public service as a criterion
the people of Virginia have faith
ia the promises of Senator Byrd
for an economical administration
of State affairs and a budget
the States income.
However, just as his candidacy
was the inevitable result of his
and unfiinching stand
against the intrenched powers
which threatened to saddle on
the burden of additional
bonds. so his choice. as his
,arty's nominee will be the
logical and pndoubted result of
his announcement.
We introduce Virginia's next
Governor, Harry Flood Byrd. OF
and Virginia.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN MAY
WIN PRIZES AT STATE FAIR

Demonstrations by members Oi
boys and girls clubs of Delaware at
the Delaware State Fair the coming
September will be much more inter
esting and instructive, according to
A. D. COdd, dad" Cobb, the state
club leader than anything the repre-
sentatives of the clubs have ever at
tempted at the Fair. In other years
there has been competitive demon
strating but this year this detail that
has often caused boy or girl to fail
to do as good as they otherwise
might has been eliminated and there
will be no constraint attached to the
demonstration work. At a booth
erected in the center of the building,
there will be demonstrations by both
boys and girls at the same time, and
the boys and girls will demonstrate
everything embraced in the work of
the clubs.
The contests among dairy, poultry, |
pig, potato, sweet potato and soy
bean clubs promise to afford even |
keener competition in exhibits than
any previous year. In clothing, can
ming, and baking contests the ex-
hibits have been listed in the chill
lren's department. The special club
classes are open to boys and girls
rom 10 to 21 years of age. All of the
work will be under the supervision

GOOD REGISTRATION
HERE LAST SATURDAY

The voters in Milford registered in
good numbers last Saturday. 1t was
noticeable too that the big majority
of those who registered were persons
who are thinking people. It is evil
dent that they intend to take part in
their party primaries this fall and
see that men properly qualified are
nominated for office.
On the east side in North Milford
148 persons registered last Saturday.
This brings the total for that dis
trict up to 264 for the two registra-
tion days. This is a small voting dis
trict and the registration recorded
to date is good
On the west side 276 persons quail !
fled on Saturday. The total for both
days in that district is 425. The nor
nal vote in the district is about 1000.
On the south side, in Sussex coun-
y, 9S9 registered last Saturday,
the total for both days up
o $50. The normal vote is about 1850
n the district.
Reports from all parts Of the state
how that the registration was good
asst Saturday. In Milford the total
o qualify the first two days is larg-
r than two years ago.
Tomorrow is the last day to regis |

2 NEW SCHOOLS
GIVEN TO STATE
One Is Located In New Castle
County And The Other IP
Sussex. I

Two new school buildings for
white pupils were given to the State
on Tuesday by the Delaware School
Auxiliary-one in New Castle coun-
ty at Taylor's Bridge, the other at
Broadkiln, near Milton, Sussex coun-
ty. Each building has a capacity Of
40 pupils. No special services mark
ed the transfer of title to the State.
The Taylor's Bridge building re-
places an old one which was damag-
ed In a severe wind storm about two
years ago and it's construction has
been partly covered by a grant of
$4,000 from the last legislature, the
balance of its cost of $4,000 having
been provided by the Auxiliary, as
the land is already State property,
no transfer will be necessary.
The BrOadkiln School has been
completed by the Auxiliary at cost |
of $1O,5500, which covers site, archi-
tect's fees and equipment, and the
deeds were turned over to the State !
Board of Education on Tuesday.
Dedication of the new structures
is planned for later dates, after the
opening of the school year.
Future work in providing school
houses contemplated by the Della
ware Auxiliary is likely to be for
white pupils, as the needs Of colored
pupils have been in large measure
attended to. ].

BRTDCEVILLE GEORGETOWN
ROAD CLOSED TO TRAFFIC

| Motorists travelling between Bridge
vile and Georgetown are confront
ed with serious and irritating sit
uation in being compelled to retrace
their way either to Milford or Laur-
ell, owing to the roadway at Collins
mill having caved in, making the
road almost impossible. The slabs of
concrete are there but the founda-
tions have been washed away and
the weight of a heavy car would very
likely crush the slabs in and ditch
the machine.
c. D. Buck, Chief Engineer for the
State Highway Commission, last
week notified the owner of the mill
to repair the roadway and stationed
a state highway policeman at either
end of the bridge to stop motorists
from attempting to cross the bridge.
Retracing their way to Laurel
means an extra II miles for the mo-
tOTist, and if he makes the round
rip that way it means "a miles. By
way of Milford a round trip means |
I6 miles, so that the motorists who |
lave to make this detour are not in |
/ very pleasant frame of mind
According to the state highway Of
icials, it is their belief that the
,reaking away or washing out of the
oncrete roadway is due to the extra
weight placed upon the water gates
