That land of the west so fair,
I With its sagebrush that has six feet

Its bunchgrass with colors rare
Who has not heard of the air so pure,
And the trees that are far between,
And the beautiful alfalfa kissed by

In the valley of "Lexingteen."

And the songs of the crow andmost
any old hen
Is heard in the sweetest of trills,
Warbling at eve till darkness falls
Over the fields so green,
And the girlies there are the sweetest
on earth.
That live around "Lexingteen."
I would tell of a life that is free from
cares,
Where peace and plenty abound.
Where toiling is pleasure, and care is
mirth,
And hourly new joys are found,
Then come to the garden spot of the

The fairest that ever was seen,
And dwell midst the wind and the
dust galore ,
In the valley of "Lexingteen."

One evening recently a 6-year-old

A Surprised Butcher.
A dignified-looking woman stepped
up to an attractive-looking showcase
in the meat market, and after she
had bought several pieces of meat
she asked:
"Have you any shin bone that I
could use for soup stock?
"Just the thing," responded the
obliging clerk as he took up a long
shin bone and knuckle and balanced
it on his left hand.
"What is it worth?" asked the
woman.
"Just a half dollar," said he.
"It is such a large piece, would
you mind cutting it at the joint
"Sure I will," he replied.
After cutting off the large knuckle
he again balanced the long, slim
bone on his hand.
"You may have this for 40 cents.'
The woman looked at the piece
for a moment, then at the knuckle,
and said:
"Is that piece you cut off worth
only ten cents?
The clerk hesitatingly replied:
"Yes, madam."
"All right," said the woman; "I'll
take that knuckle."
The clerk waited a moment, looked
at the woman, then actually laughed
aloud. But he was game and willingly
wrapped up the 10-cent soup bone

Republicans for Bonus!
to Veterans of the War
Hoi'SE Memukks Intend to Again
Go to Bat for Dlfenih-.rs of
Country in Late War
Washington, April 20. That the
bill providing a bous for the soldiers
and sailors of the United States who
served in the World War will be re-
ntroduced immediately and be rush
ed to final passage is the expecta
tion of Republican leaders.
This bill proposes to meet the na
tional obligation to these veterans
by presenting to them for their
choice any one of four separate and
distinct plans of remuneration.
Briefly stated, these plans are:
1. Adjusted service pay, or $1 per
day for each day's home service and
$1.25 for each day's overseas service
during the war, in excess of 60 days,
in the military or naval forces of the
United States between April 5, 1917,
and July I, 1919, said sum, if more
than $500, to be paid in 10 equal
quarterly installments of $50, condi
tioned that the home service pay
shall not exceed $500 and the over
seas service pay shall not exceed
$025 to any one person.
2. Adjusted service certificate
plan, which increases the adjusted
pay service 40 per cent, allows 4 1-2
per cent per annum, compound in
terest, for 20 years, the whole am
ount payable upon the death of the
recipient as insurance, and against
which applicant may borrow 90 per
cent of the total amount due, includ
ing interest, from the third to the
fifth year, inclusive, and 80 per cent
due at any time between the tifth
and twentieth years.
3. Vocational training aid, which
provides for the payment of $1.75
per day for each day's service by the
veteran in a course of vocational
training, the total payment not to ex
ceed 140 per cent of adjusted ser
vice pay.
4. Farm or home aid, the amount
expended by the Government for
such assistance to be 40 per cent
higher than the adjusted service pay.
Conceding the justice of this pro
posal, the duty to meet it, if it can be
met without injustice to the public,
conclusively follows.
What will it cost and how will that
cost be distributed throughout the
ensuing years under the terms of the
bill?
It is not difficult to arrive at the
minimum cost, the amount that
would be paid by the Government if
everyone in the military and naval
service entitled to it should avail
himself of the provisions of the ad
justed service pay plan, generally
described as the cash plan, and the
maximum cost, if every one entitled
thereto should apply for the adjusted
service certificate, generally referred
to as the certificate plan.
The Catch.
A New England spinster was much
enamored of a neighboring farmer,
but the affection was not returned.
One day, starting on one of his week
ly visits to town, the maiden came
rushing out crying:
"Yoo-hoo, Mr. Simpkins, do you
mind taking me with you?"
The farmer considerde warily and
finally allowed her to climb in.
In vain the lady tried every topic
of conversation without eliciting re
sponse and finally in desperation fell
back on passing bits of scenery. Go
ing by the minister's house, she cri
ed: "Oh, Mr. Simpkins, what a
beautiful hitching psot Pastor Watson
has."
"Gol durn," cried the other, crack
ing his whip. "I knowed there was
a hitch in it somewhere. Dobbin,
