More than 800 veterans mobilized at

quests at Camp Good Will.

their supply automobiles carried cam
paign munitions that included toys. Ice
cream, candy. and fruits.
The surprise attack will take place at
3 o'clock. The camp has been notified

the mobilization began. with war cor
respondents, and even the ubiquitous
"movie" man, there to record the as
sembling Of the forces.
Every available man was mustered
out, but, as in real war, transportation
was the most difficult tactical problem
Of the day. There were not automobiles
enough to carry all. SO reserve force
was to be left to await the return of
the cars, and then advance upon the
camp as a fun-making reinforcement:
First on the program at Camp Good
Will was the erection Of a tent and the
raising Of colors. This. 1t was ex-

LAND SPECTATORS
ARE UNDER CHARGES
One of Most Serious Problems
Before Agricultural Depart
ment Now Faces y. S.

Land speculators are charged with re-
tardins the agricultural development Of
the Northwest, in a statement issued
today by the Forest Service. The de-
velopment Of logged-ofr lands in private
ownership Is held to be one Of the most
serious agricultural problems the Gov
errment faces.
"In Oregon and Washington alone"
the Forest Service statement says.
more than three million acres Of such
logged-off lands are lying idle, although
much Of this area has fine agricultural
soil and good climate. Yet in this same
region hundreds of settlers are seeking
to find places in the national forests.
usually remote from transportation.
high in the mountains. where the cli-
mate is harsh and the soil relatively
poor. simply because the lands at lower
levels outside the forests are hold by
the spectators at prohibitive prices"
The true solution Of the problem. II Is
held. is to develop the logged-off private
lands that lie outside the forests: and
not to throw open non-asricultural lands
within the forests.
"A constant pressure Is being brought
to bear on the Government by private
individuals who want to acquire posses
sion Of these heavily timhered agricul-
tural lands" the Forest Service state
ment adds. LANDS Of this kind. acauir-
ed under the homestead law, are today
held not bv the homesteaders. but by
lumber companies. who promptly pur-
chased them from settlers as soon as
title passed from the Government. a
speculative process which effectively
prevents men Of small means from ac-
ouiring land and establishing homes.
THE Government is withholding from
agricultural entry all such heavily tim
bered land until after the timber is cut
off. AS soon as this Is done. the land
will be opened to entry and settlers
will be able to acquire It directly from
the Government without cost, instead OF
paying from $40 to $50 an acre to land
speculatoYs"

Raising Crop of Tobacco
Between GraVeStOnes

EAST PETERSBURG. Pa. Aug. A.
Tourists passing through this place
have been attracted by an unusual sight
"A crop Of tobacco being grown in an
old graveyard between the tombstones.
Comprising between a quarter and a
half acre, It was long since filled with
bodies and in late years had become an
unsightly place. About year ago q
collection was taken in the village to
have the little Goods acre" cleaned up.
A plow was run through. the weeds ex-
Terminated and the place put In pretty
good condition. Then 1t occurred to an
enterprising resident that the fertile soil
OF the graveyard would be a good place
to grow a crop OF tobacco. The plants
were set out and they give every indi-
cation Of fourishing.
The action however has caused much
comment in the village. especiall
among descendants of those who are
buried there. who look upon the to-
bacco as a desecration of the sacred
SPOT.
