$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. Birds of Nebraska. 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. Charlie Morris is one of the Seventeenth and wishes his friends to know the above facts. BOOKS OPEN FOR RE TURN. Books now open to make you ? City Tax Returns.
