Free Seed Corn Offer Prompts Subscription Push
A Missouri publication promotes free quart seeds with new subscriptions to the Farmer and Breeder.

The ad urges readers to subscribe via Monroe City Democrat and mentions related local notices and personnel moves.

Pension proposals spur debate on civil war veterans aid
A congressional bill proposes a retired list for surviving Civil War volunteer officers paying one third of their rank plus a service pension of 30 dollars a month for veterans with 90 days service and disability. Estimated costs range from 10 to 30 million for the retired list and up to 40 to 50 million annually for the service pension, fueling criticism that the moves are tax burdens rather than justified aid. The piece notes 1909 pension costs at 1,619,7300 dollars and forecasts reductions, while editors question the need for expanding benefits. Also includes brief social mentions of the Quincy Herald guests from Bisbee and local visits by Miss Maggie Short and F. D. Brownell.
