titled to a wage commensurate
with the present high cost of
living, no matter what his wages
were when he left this country.
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

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

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."
Carriers Meet Friday.
The twelfth annual convention
of the York County Rural Free
Delivery association will be held
in the federal court room at Rock
Hill Friday. May 80, when rural
carriere from every section of
the county are expected to meet
and discuss matters of interest
to mail carriers.
An interesting program is being
prepared for the occasion,
according to announcement made
by E. W. Comer, of Rock Hill,
president of the association, who
states that business of importance
will be transacted during
the day and urges that all
members of the association
attend. Among the business
matters to be disposed of is the
election of officers for the coming
year.
All carriers, their substitutes
and the members of their
families are invited to be present.
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

All of these factors combine to
make prices to the consumer
high, and there is little hope for
a reductisn during the summer.
