Like deer meat? Rock Island
has a deer within its limits.

Tered deer was in the back yard OF

Der near the Scheme home.
1t is believed that the animal
has escaped from some menagerie
or zoo nearby. Although Davenport
has a park where animals are kept
in captivity, it is hardly believed
that the deer could make its way to
the Illinois shore.

the convict was returned to the county

of this plan is that holders aided in improv-

a higher and better civilization was being

1t may be said that this country, outside OF
Alaska. has no frontier today. OF course. Alaska
will still offer opportunity for pioneer life And,
of course. Alaska likewise has yet unknown re-
markable agricultural possibilities, but unless we
make possible the development Of this land by
the men who desire life in that field we will lose
a great national opportunity. Furthermore, this
Is an Immediate duty. 1t will be too late for
these things when the war is. over, and the work
of definite planning should be done now.
The plan outlined by Secretary Lane does not
contemplate anything like charity to the soldiers.
He Is not to be given bounty. He is not to be
made to feel that he Is a dependent. On the
contrary, he is to continue, in a sense. in the
service Of the government Instead of destroying
our enemies. he is to develop our resources.
The work that Is to be done, other than the
planning, should be done by the soldier himself.
The dam or irrigation project should be built by
him: the canals, bitches, the breaking of the
land, and the building of the houses should. nm
der proper direction be his occupation. He
should be allowed to make his own nome. cared
for while he is doing it, and given an interest In
the land for which he can pay through long
period of years-perhaps so or 40 years.
The farms should not be turned over as the
prairies were-unbroken, unfenced, without ac-
commOdations for men or animals. There should
be prepared homes, all Of which can be construct
ed by the men themselves and paid for by them
under system of simple devising by which
modern methods of finance will be applied to
their needs.
