A soldier's pay is none too good, and while men who stayed at home reaped the benefit of war wages the soldier risked his life, and made ho money in the process. Everything is more expensive than when the boys went away, and it is not fair to penalize them f^r their army service. They fought to preserve our homes and it is a poor return to ask them to settle down to work and accept a pay envelope insufficient to run their homes. The soldier may not have any more experience in his direct line of employment but he is essentially a better man because of the kind of experience he has had. His army life has had the tendency to make more of a man . of him in every way. He has come back, too, with a broader outlook, and an awakened ambition. The employer wise enough to realize this and to turn that increased vision and ambition into enthusiasm for his business will lose nothing in t.hp nroppBH ?F.v Nay Get Another Bonus. Senator Trammell. of Florida, author of the bill which became law creating a bonus of $60 for men serving in the army and navy during the war, has introduced in the United States senate the following bill: "That all persons serving in the military or naval forces of the United States during the war with the German Empire who have, sii\ce April 6th, 1917, resigned or been discharged under honorable conditions (or in the case of reservist, been placed on inactive duty), or who at any time hereafter (but not later than the termination of the current enlistment of term of service), in the ease of enlisted personnel and female nurses, or within six months after the termination of said war in the case of officers, may resign, or be discharged under honorable conditions, or in the case of reservists, be placed on inactive duty, shall be paid, in addition to all other amounts i due them in pursuance to law, a further sum of $140 each from the apportionment for pay of t<be army and navy, respectively, and under the direction of the secretary of war and secretary of the navy, respectively. This act shall not apply to persons who were not in the service on or prior to November 11th, . 1918, nor to persons entitled to , ? i . . - reurea pay, nor to the heirs or legal representatives of a person who. if living, would be entitled to said additional compensation." The Wheat Crop. A winter wheat crop which is estimated to run close to 900,000,000 bushels, an increase of nearly 33 per cent over the record-breaking crop of 1914, and an acreage never before ( equaled, is forecast in a report on the condition of winter wheat issued by the chamber of Com. merce of the United States through its committee on statis! tics and standards. "About 25 per cent of the yield," the report adds, "will be ' south of Mason and Dixon's line, for winter wheat is being grown now in some of the < Southern States where it was i never grown before." i !: The report indicates that spring wheat is delayed by continued rains, with the result that in some of the Northern latitudes the seeding time was delayed from 10 days to two weeks. * 'In the Southern sections," the report adds, "the increase in acreage over last ' year ranges from 20 to 30 per K - S K - ..^V >-* ., -o. >>' BS-?I iriTTr ' n,|j I -| rmv-PMl I York Ceuty News Hatters. iKorfcriUe Emmrar.) jgiH Messrs.

It should not be overlooked that any other township of the county, which may so desire, has .V- I?ll uie privilege or voting road bonds under the same terms and conditions as the King's Mountain township bonds were voted. . Mr. and Mrs. A. C. White of King's Creek, have received a telegram from their son, Private Paul P.

In one of the closest end most interesting games played by the local team this season Port Mill defeated Lancaster on the labtar's diamond Saturday aftexv noon, the score being 7 to & For a time it looked as if the game Here to go the full nine innings without either side scoring but in the fifth inning Lancaster's catcher fumbled a third-strike ball and threw the pellet about four feet over the first baseman's head, allowing two Fort Mill runners to score. From that time on the game went Fort Mill'8 way. The features of the game were the excellent work of the Fort*Mill battery, Hunter and Ferguson, and a sensational eaten ana pome-run hit by Felder Allie Ferguson. The Fort Mill ball team is now considered the strongest in the league with possibly one exception, the Aragon team of Rock Hill, but local fans are confident that with more practice the Fort Mill team will top.this rival and carry off the "rag."

It is planned to make Friday a grand rally day for the association's members. Shoes to Remtin High. Local shoe dealers see little prospects for cheaper footwear in the near future. The war resulted in a depletion of the herds of cattle of the world, and hide bearing animals can not be turned out like copper or steel. Dealers point out the problem of the manufacturer is not to get orders but to obtain material, while the tanner's problem is to get hides and skins. The wages of leather workers have advanced steadily during the war anH (hp rlomonH ...? uvuiuiiu, uui.u 1UICIK1I and domestic, for shoes is heavy. All of these factors combine to make prices to the consumer high, and there is little hope for a reductisn during the summer. FOR SALE?One young Jersey Milk Cow with first calf.
