Besides, he may get $50 a | month for a nurse or attendant, and | | 525 for specific disabilities authorized | | by law. Thus he cculd get a total of | | $350 a month. For disability he cannot | trace to service the World War veteran | may draw up to $40 a month. | | On the other hand, the maximum which may be drawn by a_veteran of cither the Civil or Spanish-American War is only $125 a month, except in a few instances, where payments are dcubled. The World War veteran may get com- | pensation of $100 a month for total | deafness, but the Civii War veteran | month pension for In any consideration of differences | between the World War veteran and veterans of other wars it should be borne | in mind that the word “pension” re- | fers only to wars before the World| War, veterans of the World War have | not vet received “pensions” dependent | purely on service rendered. | Double Compensation. | World War veterans may Tecelve | | $30 a month; if there is one child, $40 | but the right may be restored upon re- | pensatio no additional allowance of this kind, for dependents of living veterans. is provided for prior wars or non-war service beneficiaries. Provisions for Widows. | In the case of World War veterans | who have died, the widow is entitled ml a month, and $6 a month for each addi- | tional child. Death of the veteran must | have been due to service-connected dis- | ability, and the compersation to & | widow terminates upon remarriage and cannot be revived. In the case, however, of veterans of the Civil War, Spanish-American War, Philippine . Insurrection and Boxer Rebellion, ~their deaths need not have been connected with service, and the minimum rate is $30 a month to the widow and $6 a mcnth to the minor or helpless child. A widow of & Civil War veteran 70 vears old may re- ceive $40 a month and $6 for each child. If she was the wife of the Civil War veteran during service she may receive $50 a month and $6 for each mincr child. In the case of pension, that ceases upon Temarriage, but may be revived upon renewed widowhood. “If there is no widow of a Wcrld War veteran, but one child, the rate is $20 a month; two children, $30 a month three children, $40 a month, and $5 a month for each additional child. In the case of pensicns for prior wars, if there is no widow the rate is $30 a month to the child, with $6 additional for esch minor child. | Although death compensation under | the World War veterans' act may be paid to a dependent mother after re- marriage if dependency continues. pen- sion for prior wars may not be paid to a dependent mother after remarriage, newed widowhood Under the Wcrld War veterans' act brothers and sisters do not receive com- As to pension for prior | wars, veteran dies from a service- connected disability and leaves neither wife nor legitimate children, the pen- sion may be paid the following in this order: Mother, father, orphan brothers, sisters under sixteen.

Miller said. “The farmer plants what he pleases. The plan is no more practicable than the Federal Farm Board's suggestion to plow under every third row as a means of reducing the cotton crop and ralsing the price of cotton. “Through wise supervision from farm leaders, Alabama this year reduced its cotton crop 10 per cent and increased its food and feed crop 12 per cent.
