an alleyway eight feet wide. In this
alley self feeders will be placed so
the little pigs may get to them and
make hogs of themselves as soon as
possible. Water is convenient to the
building and all in all it will be a
strictly modern structure. DR.. Coon
fully realizes that good equipment
means a saving. The barn will be
remodeled and an addition built to
same. After which a milking machine
will be installed along with number
of modern barn conveniences, making
a saving of labor, which make it pos
sible to do the same work with less
help. A pure bred Poland China herd
boar is now on the farm and it is the
intention of the gentlemen to soon
establish a pure bred herd for they
are not strong for raising scrub stock
on thoroughbred land. A visit to the
corn field convinced us that this farm
will produce a big crop of excellent
quality of corn, which was out of the
way of frost when we saw it.

Farms for Ex-Soldiers

Chicago, April 1O.-In the course
of an address before the sixth an
nual convention of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States here
today, Secretary of the Interior
Franklin K. Lane outlined a plan
for the rehabilitation of all fighting
men upon their return home after
the war. Millions of acres of land
in the west, he said, can be reclaim
ed by irrigation and would provide
the men fortv acres each of ti1lable

said, several million acres of fcod
land along the Mississippi could al
SO be reclaimed.

Praiseworthy Action of the s. P.

No wheat or wheat products OF
any kind will be served on South
ern Pacific dining cars during the
period of the war, it was announc-
ed yesterday by Allan Pollok,
Superintendent of Dining cars,
Hotels and Restaurants for the
Company.
This action follows the plea of
the Food Administration for still
futher saving in wheat. Under
Pollok S direction, the Southern
Pacific chefs are attending special
cooking schools to learn the ut
most use that can be made OF
other cereals.
The Southern pacific operates
more dining cars than any othel
railroad in the country. The eX
clusion of wheat from the six mil
lion meals that are served annually
is expected to effect big saving.

Men to be eligible must be between
the ages of Is and IS; must be
native born citizens of the United
States or have their final naturali-
cation papers; must show a clean
bill Of health; aud, if within the

Practically all Departments are
open for enrolment. Men with
trades are accepted in their trades;
men without trades are enrolled
for deck, engine and fire-roon du-
ties, and for special duties. Re-
cruits are subject to call for active
duty for full naval service when
actually needed; in time of peace
they may resign or continue in the
Naval Reserve Force. The pay
