Washington, Jan. 2O.--The u
nited States department OF the
interior, on Feb. 8, will open for
settlement under the general
homestead and reclamation laws
upwards Of 1000 acres Of fertile
land in the Belle Fourche valley
Of South Dakota. This comprises
the fifth unit of this project
thus far opened and is located
within few miles Of town and
railroad. The adjoining land IS
already developed by settlers.
The usual residence of three
years is required and to all bona
fde settlers the reclamation SER
eice will furnish water for irri-
cation purposes at actual cost
without interest on deferred
payments covering 20 years.
The government regards this
opening as exceptionally good.
and because of present economic
conditions and the high cost of
living it is thought there will be
a large influx of homeseekers.
AS an evidence of the lncreas-
ed values which federal develop
ment has given to lands in this
section it is stated that lands
homesteaded in 1912 and valued
at that time at S25 an acre have
been sold recently at S75 and
Sl25 an acre.
Detailed information concern
ing the Belle Fourche opening
may be obtained by addressing
the settlement agent. United
States reclamation service, Chi
cago.

Women Drive War AutomobIIss.

Women Drive War Automobiles.
Between 100 and 200 women soon
will be driving military motor cars be-
hind the French front.
Women have tried since the begin
ming Of the war to enlist In the auto
mobile service. The Club Feminin
Automobile was the center Of this
group, and It had secured the sigma
lures Of several hundred Of the thou
sand women in Paris who hold licenses
to drive motor cars. The passive re-
sistance Of the different war bureaus
held them pack until now.
The women are obliged to enlist for
three months and to agree to submit
scrupulously to military rules and dis
cipline. They will in the beginning
replace motor ambulance drivers In the
foreign sanitary sections who are
transferred to other services. Later
on they may replace men in other au-
tomobile sections.

P0RP0lSE FISHERY IS OLD
Ono Of Least Known industries Has
Been In Existence at Cape Hat
teras for 200 Years.

One Of the oldest and least-known
Industries In America is the porpoise
fishery which has been operated from
Cape Hatteras in North Carolina for
about 200 years. It should attain an
unusual prosperity In the next few
years, for the bureau Of fisheries II
urging more general use Of porpoiss
hides In place Of cowhides. It IL an
excellent leather. and could undoubt-
edly be used more widely.
Heretofore the most valuable prod.
uct Of the fishery has been the oil
which IL extracted from the jaws OF
the porpoise. and II worth about $20
a gallon. It is universally used for
lubricating watches and other very del
icate mechanisms. The body blubber
Ii also valuable. Attempts to manu-
facture fertilixer out Of the carcass
have failed because Of the distance
from fuel supply.
The porpoise are taken at Hatteras
In seines. operated from the shore. and
It is probably the only place In Amer.
lea where this has ever been done
successfully. During the fall, winter
and spring many porpoises are seen
of the South Atlantic coast, and at
Hatteras they come within few hun
dred yards Of the surf. They are
taken by spreading seines about 200
yards outside the surf lines. As soon
as the porpoises have come inside the
seines. they are dragged ashore. Often
a whole school Of these sea creatures
Is taken in a single haul.
