legislation with a view to providing
for the returned men.
New South Wales has already set
| tied 240 soldiers on the land, and an
estate on which E75O,000s has been
spent will be available this month.
The new settlers will be assisted by
supervisors. It was also proposed to
use the group system so that the men
will be on wages until their farms
reach paying stage.
Queensland intends to spend H.
100000 in six years settling soldiers
on a portion Of it's vast area 1t has
at present on hand the settlement of
1,439, 900 acres, on which it will place
$500 men, the total cost being about
81 100000. Areas have been set
aside also for fruit and sugar grow
ing, and training farm has been es-
tablished.
West Australia has plans for vigor-
farms and orchards. In the southwest
of the state suitable blocks of from
100 to 100 acres will be surveyed, 20
acres cleared and fenced, and a small
house and sheds built. In orcharding
districts areas from 10 to 20 acres will
be allotted. A feature of all the
settlements will be, it is hoped, the
placing of men in such a way that
they will be able to help each other.
Other plans are being laid for the de-
velopment of the tropical and semi
tropical areas In the northwest of the
state.
South Australia and Tasmania will
not fall behind in the placing Of re-
turned men, but their schemes have
not been announced in detail.

THE SPORTS CORNER
WESLEYAN CANCELS
GAME WITH PARSONS

Mt. Pleasant, Nov. 22.-Iowa Yves.
leyan has cancelled the game schedul.
ed with Parsons for Nov % at Mt
Pleasant. The reason for SO doing is
that Wesleyan refuses to play team
whose players have played more than
four years of intercollegiate football.
Flinspach is playing his sixth year.
He is the captain of the Parsons team
and the life of the squad. Before the
game was scheduled, Wesleyan
claims, it was argued that Flinspach
should not play:
Wesleyan has scheduled game
with one of the soldier teams from
Camp Dodge for Thanksgiving day.
There is much good material among
the men at the cantonment, so 4
strong team can be expected. Wes-
leyan is practicing faithfully for the
contest and snappy game is assured.
AS this will not be under conference
rules, Coach Day is planning to be in
the local lineup. Coach Day has had
experience in university football and
while playing with Denver university
in 1912 was chosen as All-Rocky
Mountain fullback. He will play full
back for his squad and his many
friends are anxious to see him iii
action.

MAY REPEAT CONCERT
TO AID RED CROSS

The old folks concert given by the
Glee club at the A. M. E. church on
Jefferson street Tuesday night was
% huge success. The entertainment
was well attended by both white and
colored people and some 300 were
present. The singing was preceded
from 6 to o'clock by q real southern
supper for the menu while observing
the "meatless day" rule Of the food
administration was not lacking in
the things that only the real colored
cook can prepare. Opossum. coon,
chicken, sweet potatoes and all the
trimmings to complete plantation
feed, was on the bill of fare.
The sumptious supper put every
one in a proper disposition to enjoy
the program that followed and despite
the fact that 1t was the second rem
dition of the program. having been
repeated by request. it is probable
that it will be given again for the
benefit of the Red Cross. All OF the
numbers were pleasing and we'll rem
dered, but the closing Of the program,
"A War Scene" was perhaps the most
effective and tears mingled with the
humor that it provoked.
