MACHINERY FOR

Insurance Policies.
Washington, May 20 - -Govern
ment machnery was put in motion
today to administer the soidier
bonus law, finally enacted yes
terday when the Senate followed
in the footsteps of the House and
repassed the bill over President
Coolidge's veto.
While the five-year right for
the bonus has been increasing in
'intensity during the last two
j years, considerable preliminary
preparation has been made by
the departments effected to
carry out the provisions of the
1 bill.
Director Hines, of the veterans
bureau, which will have direct
control over administration of the
iaw. declared today the bureau
i was ready to handle its share of
the work.
The law, which applies to more
than 4,"UU,00U world war veterans
and their dependents, provides
for cash payments to veterans
not entitled to more than in
adjusted service credit and uaid
j uu 20 year endowment insurance
policies to others. The insurance
policies will not be issued befoie
next-January 1, while the cash
payments fall due after next
March 1.
President Coolidge's veto was
oyer-riden yesterday, a l .' to 20,
after one of his biggest contests
with the legislative branch of the
government. His supporters lack
ed two votes of the one-third
necessary to sustain a veto. The
House had over-riden the veto by
a margin of 52 votes over the re
quired two-thirds majority.
Contributing to defeat of the
veto were several Republican
leaders, including Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts, the Republican
floor leader, and Senator Curtis,
of Kansas, whip and assistant
leader, who also sponsored the
bill in the Senate. Thirty Repub
licans, twenty-seven Democrats
!
and the two Farmer-Labor sena
tors voted against the veto, while
seventeen Republicans and nine
Democrats Rave it support.
Both the army and navy de
partments will be required to
; pass on the applications of veter
ans for the bonus, which must
' be filed before January 1. 1'.'28.
Adjusted compensation is figur
ed on the basis of .$1 a day for
home service and $1.25 a day for
o verseas service. The first GO days
of service cannot be counted and

The value or the 20-year en

issued to others is arrived at bv
computing th> basic compensa
tion according to the above
figures, then multiplying it by
an arbitrary figure, according to
the veteran's age, and increasing
the total so arrived at by 25 per
cent.
For example, a veterans of -5

Application for the bonus may
be made up to -January 1, 1928,
cash payments will be made after
March 1, 1925- Insurance policies
will be issued as fast as the data
can be compiled.

brought the total expenditure for'
road construction in the state
during the five year period to
$79,841). 142,45, and rounded out!
the first great road building pro-1
gram undertaken by the state.!
The letting was the final large
obligation of the remaining funds
made available by the general
assembly.
Several million dollars of the'
road fund remain unobligated,
but future lettings will be di
stributed in smaller series for
several months to come. No con
tracts have yet been awarded on
the ba*is of today's bidding, and
several may be rejected because
of unsatisfactory prices submit
ted for paving. Included in the
1(5 projects are miles of
paving, 7;),.')'.) miles of other types,
together with a bridge over the
Deep river.
Contractors were here from all
sections of the state, attracted by
the fact that this is the last big
letting to be staged. Bidding was
exceedingly close in some in
stances and in others there was
no competition and prices ranged
far above the average expected
by Mr. Page.

is more tempting than a rice
plate of roasting i-ars well cooked,
served with good fresh butter, it*
one is afraid he will burn his
fingers, the corn may be cut from
the cob and cooked in that way.
In order to have this fresh corn
for the table daily, reppated
plantings may be made ur.til the
first of August, suggests H. F.
Pajne. extension horticulturist
for the State College of Agri
culture. Two of the varieties
l
most commonly used in this
: State for roasting ears are Nor
i folk Market and Tucker's Favorite
1
I However, neither of these va
rieties is the best as they are
.
not in the s-.veet corn group.
Once sweet corn i 9 used, Mr.
Payne states that the taste for
varieties is permanently lost.
Two of the best varieties of sweet
corn are Country Gentleman and
Evergreen.
Any soil well adapted to field
! corn will grow good sweet corn
says Mr. Paine. Sod soil that has
been turned is best. It should be
thoroughly prepared, well ma
nured and fertilized. A goodhiih
grade fertilizer, applied at the
1 rate of 1.000 to 2,000 pounds per
'acre will give good results. Culti
vation should be given frequently
throughout the entire growizig
season.
Sweet corn should be planted
about two inchts deep in rows J
to 3' feet apart and 24 feet
apart in the row. Three or four
grains should be put per hill.
"Do not neglect to make
frequent plantings. Always re
member that the surplus can
usually be disposed of locally at a
good price."
