OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1932 EX-SERVICE MAN FROM BONUS ARMY VISITS HERMISTON An unidentified ex-soldier, who has been among the bonus seekers In Washington, hopped from a freight train early Monday morning long enough to get a cup of coffee at a cafe here. He said he had been sent home on detail work and was ac companied by two other buddies who remained on the train until he brought them some coffee, for which he had the money to pay.

For break- fast they get one cup of coffee, a slice of bread, and cereal without sugar or cream. He says that a big percentage of the army are unmar ried men.
