$60.00 BONUS TO BE PAID
TO SOLDIERS DISCHARG
ED SINCE APRIL 6, 1917
Section 1406 of the Revenue
Act approved February 24. 1919.
authorizes the payment of a bo
nus of $60.00 to officers, soldiers,
field clerks and nurses of the army
upon honorable separation from
active service by discharge, resig
nation or otherwise. This bonus
is not payable to the heirs or rep
resentatives of any deceased sol
dier.
Those who are discharged here
after will receive this bonus on
the same roll voucher upon which
they are paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharg
ed and have received their final
pay without the $60.00 bonus,
should write a letter to the Zone
Finance Officer, Lemon Building,
"Washington, D. C.. stating their
service since April 6, 1917, the
date of last discharge and their
present address to which they de
sire their bonus checks to be sent
and enclosing with this letter their
discharge certificate or military
order for discharge and both, if
both were issued.
Upon receipt by the Zone Offi
cer. Washington. D. €.. of this in
formation and the soldier s dis
charge certificate, this officer wil
cause checks to be drawn and
mailed to the claimants in the or
der in which their claims were re
ceived by him. The discharge cer
tificate will be returned to the sol
dier with the check.
It is estimated that at least one
million and a quarter persons have
been discharged from the service
who are entitled to the benefits
of this act and while payments
will be made as expeditiously as
practicable, it will manifestly take
considerable time to write and
mail this many checks.
NEGRC FARMERS HOLD
BIG MEAT SHOW
The largest display of home
cured meat in the south is to be
put on by the negro farmers in the
vicinity of Fort Valley, Georgia.
March 13 and 14. 1919. It is said
to be the largest exposition and
demonstration of meat curing, but
ter making and kindred things
of any attempted by the negroes.
It started in this way:
About four years ago a special
ist from the Georgia State College
of Agriculture gave a lecture on
meat curing to a number of fann
ers and students at the Fort Val
ley High and Industrial School.
At the conclusion of his address
he suggested that his time would
have been wasted and his efforts
to do them good all in vain if they
did not follow some of his sug
gestions. To find out whether
they did, it was suggested that
they bring in some of their meat
and show it the following winter.
This was done and some five hun
dred pieces were exhibited.
The next year over eight hun
dred pieces were exhibited along
with lard, sausage and some but
ter. At each show there have
also been several hundred dozen
eggs displayed. In fact, the first
show was called a “ham and egg"
show. Around two hundred dol
lars in prizes were awarded last
year.
The show this year is the third
and promises to be much the
largest of any. Over one thousand
pieces of . meat are ready to be
hung up in the show room. Last
year there were but two sour
hams in the eight hundred pieces.
This year there are prizes amount
ing to about $190.00 to be dis
tributed.
The College of Agriculture will
have demonstrators on hand to
tell how to cure meat, raise and
feed ,hogs. make butter, care for
milk and much about better
homes and better cooking. Ex
perts from Washington, D. C. and
Athens. Georgia, will be on hand.
There is no admission charged.

Although 400 different species of
drds have their home in Nebraska, it
s said that no more than 200 are to
ie found in any one locality.
LETTER FROM CHAS. MORRIS.
Camp No. 3,
Saint Nazaire, France,
February 11, 1919.
My Dear Parents and Sister:
I am just in receipt of your
most welcome letter dated Janu
ary 28th, and 1 assure you that I
was more than glad to hear from
you as it had been about six weeks
since I had a letter from you and
I had begun to worry a little, as
I had been told about so much
flu being in and around there. It
did me so much good to know
that each of you were well and
enjoying the best of health. To
morrow we don upon our old lett
wing our third war service chev
ron and it is useless to say that we
are satisfied to finish up with
three.
On the fifteenth of this month
we enter the embarkation camp
and start on our last leg of the
service in France, so unless some
thing unforeseen happens this will
be my last letter to you from this
side <)f the pond and l will tele
graph you from that side as soon
as we enter the port. It would be
a great expense to cable from
here, and too, I don't guess that
I would have the chance as these
days are beginning to be of work
and hurry so you see that I won t
have much time to call my own.
I think that I will be right up
for Savannah upon my return and
the idea of you moving there is
just what I like and then we all
will be together, and I can tell
you now that I am to settle down
as soon as Uncle Sammy finishes
with me, and I know that will be
a great relief to you and daddy
and one more that you can guess,
who, as I am sure, you do not
know her just now, but GEE how
soon after my landing? Ha! Ila!
I am glad that sister had such
a lovelyvtime in Savannah and I
guess that AY. R. and M. A. en
joyed her visit as much as she
seems to have. Well, I am glad
that Ralph is back at work and I
trust that he will settle and I am
sure that he would settle if he
had crossed the pond when I did
and seen what I have seen. Of
course I am frank to say that we
never had the chance of going to
pay the Dutch a visit; of course
the work of S. 0. S. was so im
portant that a regiment of this
kind could not be spared and
each and every old member is
glad that he can say that he was
a member of the Seventh. A\ hen
we part from this neck of the
woods we will leave many mem
bers behind us. They are boys
who transferred to other branches
oi the service.
Well I will say goodbye until T
see you all and I only hope that it
won’t be long after this reaches
you until I show up. Love and
best wishes from,
Your son,
CHARLEY MORRIS.

Seventeenth and wishes his
friends to know the above facts.
