LfflONWß® CLAIMING MILLIONS Chairman Miller Takes Issue With Ruling of Veterans Bu reau Barring Claimants WASHINGTON, D. C., August 20.—The payfent of milions of dollars back compensatioi.to distabled veterans of the World War hinges upon the out come of a controversy between the National Rehabilitation Committee of the American Legion and the U. S. Bureau. The Legion Committee, through its chairman, Watson B. Miller, has taken decided issue with Director Hines against his preliminary in structions to the field offices that payment of retroactive compensatie to those persons whose cases have been presumptively connected with servic e under section 200 of the World War Veterans’ act of 1924, may not be made for any period prior to the date of the passage and approval of the act, June 7, 1924. Th e preliminary ruling of the bu reau does not affect any of those claims which have been connected with service by historical facts, wherein under the provisions of section 210 of the act compensation year prior to the filing of claim, I >e amount depending upon the phy s|c<il condition of the claimant dur •"g that period. It is the Legion’s announced purpose to place upon Jus same status those claims which hav e now been connected with ser yice through the operation of the ’’resumptive” clause in the new act.

Danger that the Japanese beetle, one of the most serious insect pessts at tacking plant life, may reach Geor gia, despite efforts being made to keep it out, is contained in a report given to The Associated Press from the Georgia State Board of Ento mology. “Its range of host plants is great,” says the report, “over 200 different plants having been found infested in New Jersey.” The insect feeds on foliage and fruits as an adult and on the roots of grasses as a grub. Shade and ornamental trees are attacked, as well as fruit trees, says the report. “This pest was introduced into the United States,” continues the report, “it is belived, through the medium of a shipment of iris bulbs from Japan consigned to a alarge nursery concern operating at River ton, N. J., but having offices in Phiadelhpia. It became established at Riverton. In 1916 only about a half square mile of territory was Round Trip Summer Fares from Americus, Ga.

The spread has been pro gressive, notwithstanding the re pressive measures made use of. “In 1922 over 700 square miles were involved. Last year South New Jersey, Southeastern Pennsyl vania and Northern Delaware wers invaded by this dangerous pest. Now comes a report showing a great mi gration of the beetles across the Deleware river into Philadelphia. Indeed, if reports are to be believed such numbers drifted or flew over from New Jersey that they actualy occasioned annoyance to residents of the city. “All of this is being recounted in order that Georgians may again be warned of this danger. Do not place orders for nursery stock to be ship ped from Southern New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania or Northern Delaware unless you are assured chat every precaution will be taken to ship non-infested material.” SUMMERVILLE MILL MAKES IMPROVEMENTS SUMMERVILLE, Ga., August }2O. —Work of installing new ma chinery and other improvements to the cotton mils here which is esti mated will cost approximately $300,000 has been staited.

Clyattville, Ga.—ln a statement which she gave at her home on R. F. D. 1, here, Mrs. T. A. Copeland said: “I have, I believe, avoided a good deal of suffering by the use of Cardui, and am thoroughly convinced that it has been of great benefit to me. “Before the birth of two of my children, I grew so weak and nervous I could hardly ge, and suffered . . . I had a friend who told me of Cardui, so the next time when I grew sc weak and run-down I began to use it. I used it three months. I grew stronger and less nervous. The baby was stronger and a better baby, end I really believe it was because I built up my strength with this splendid tonic.” Cardui has been in successful use for more than forty years. Thousands i of women have written to tell of the | beneficial results obtained by taking : Cardui, and to recommend it to others. It is a mild, harmless, purely vege table medicinal preparation —a prod uct of practical experience, scientific investigation and pharmaceutical skill. Sold everywhere. N C-159 ' THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER 1 Central Handled 293 Cars Peaches (Continued from Page One.) that should rightly be credited to Americus production. Altogether there were 436 care re-iced and handled in the Americus yards dur ing the season just ended, these figures including cars originating here, those received from connect ing lines, and others sent here from nearby station after loading in pre cooled cars, for icing only, being billed through from such stations. The size °f the crop may be il lustrated through a comparison of figures showing shipments for the past and preceding seasons at this station. During the past season a total of 293 cars originated or were received at Americus from connecting lines, which compares with a total of 85 during the pre ceding season, while 436 cars were re-iced here, comparing with 110 re-iced at Americus during the 1923 shipping season.

Accepting Potomac Yards, Va., as a basis of calculation, the average freight on each car of peaches for warded from Americus represented a revenue of $325 to the various railroads handling it to destination. Many cars were diverted, however, from this preliminary billing desti nation, and it is impossible to esti mate accurately the total freight revenue produced. Including ev ery car shipped from Aftiericus dur ing the season and fixing Potomac Yards as the destination of each, an apparent revenue of $94,225 ac crued to railroads handling the peach crop from Americus alone, but as stated above, these figures cannot be accepted as even ap . proximately accurate.
