changed the land situation One of the features
OF this plan is that holders are aided In improv-
ing and cultivating the farm. In q word, there
is organized community development.
Its beneficial results have been well described
by the Canadian commission which was ap-
pointed to investigate its results in New Zealand.
There. the commission reported, the farmers
built better houses remodeled their old ones
brought larger acreage of land under cultiva-
ton that would otherwise have remained
lying idle; had bought and urged more labor-sav-
ing machinery on the farms and in the houses
They kept more sheep and pigs and had SO large
" Increased the revenue from their farms that
mortgages and to adopt higher standard of
living and better one. Throughout the country
a higher and better ciyilization was being
evolved; the young men and women who We're
growing up were happy and contented to re-
main at home on the farm and found ample time
and opportunity for recreation and entertainment
of kind more wholesome and elevating than can
be obtained in the cities.
1t may be said that this country. outside OF
Alaska. has no frontier today. OF course. Alaska
will still offer opportunity for pioneer lffe 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 viii be too late for
these things when the war Is over. and the work
OF definite planning should be done
The plan outlined by Secretary Lane does not
contemplate anything like charity to the soldiers.
He is not to be given a bounty. He is be
made to feel that he is dependent. On the
contrary. he is to continue, in sense, in the
service of the government. Instead of destroying
our enemies. he is to develop 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. UNI
der proper direction, be his occupation. He
should be allowed to make his own home, cared
for while he is doing 1t, and given an interest In
the land, for which he pay through long
period of years-perhaps 80 40 years.
The farms should not be turned over as the
prairies were-unbroken. unfenced. without ac-
commodatiOns for men animals. There should
be prepared homes, all of which 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.

DESTROYER HARD TO BEAT
Fierce Wasp of the Sea Is Slim Built, Loose, Timber and De-
 structive.

The destroyer people have great faith in the durability of their little ships. They are slim built and not much thicker in the plates than seven pages of the Sunday paper, but maybe that is their safety. There is no get ting a fair wallop at them. They evade the issue. One man compared them to hot-water bottle. Try to swat loaded hot-water bottle. What happens? When you poke it in one place doesn't it come bulging out in another to make up for it? Sure it does, writes James P. Connolly in Col Hers.
 How do you account for the de- stroyer which had her stern cut off so that the men in the after compartment leaned out and chinned themselves up to the deck from the inside? And how do you account for the way they come bouncing along at better than twenty knots in a gale of wind and a rough sea and nothing happening to them? Get shook up-yes, but they come home don't they? They sure do. May be it's the way they're thrown to- gether-loose and Timber.
 Whatever it is, they are dashing in and out of here on their job of convoy ing merchant ships and hunting U- boats. They expect to get their bumps, and they do; but so long as they get an even break they are not kicking, The charthouse gang on the 343 say they are satisfied that they got an even break. (The 343 was cut in halves by torpedo and made port.) They are sticking new stern on the 343. When they get it well glued on she is going out again.
 Maybe the same U-boat-you can't always tell, some people have luck maybe that same U-boat will come drifting her way again. And if they see her frst-oh, boy!

Garden Memories.

Our present joy in growing things grows deeper, as coior and fragrances of our actual garden blend with colors and fragrances from long ago. Wood- bine over the rafters takes on the semblance of Ia petite chambre verte in Normandy where we lunched one September noon many years gone by. In April the clear crimson of our tulips brings back those plucked wild on hills near Florence in long vanished spring sunshine; and the lit tie pink-tipped daisies that border the bed make one see again those in AL pine grass, high on the great slopes above Lousanne, with the glory of the lake, and Savoy and Mont Blanc spread out before; those in English meadows in sweet. chilly early sum- mer. What associations come on the breath of lilaes. or lilies-of-the-valley. or few sprfgs of blossoming helio- trope, recalling an almost tropical riot of color in great bed of heliotrope on the shore of Lake Como, with every soft shade of lavender, deepening to richest purple and cloud of many tinted purple butterflies lowering above-Margaret Sherwood.

BEST LOVED ENGLISH POET
Thomas Hood Made His Reputation as Humorist-Wrote Clever
 Verse.

Thomas Hood was probably one of the best loved of the English poets and humorists, though often classed among the "minor English poets." But every one knows his "Song of the Shirt" which brought out forcibly, though poetically, the wasted life and early death of the overworked women, the unfortunates of the poorer classes. His Bridge of Sighs' is equally effective.
 These are named as his best works, yet his reputation was made as hu- morist. He was the son of a book seller, born in London. His father died when he was young and his mother moved to Islington, where Thomas studied under a delightful old vicar. He tried to become a clerk, but such work disagreed with him-so much SO, indeed, that he had to go to the coun- try to recuperate While away he be- gan contributing light humorous sketches to magazines and papers, and after his return to his beloved London he was made subeditor of the London Magazine.
 This position brought him in contact with all the brilliant men of his time. DeQuincy, Charles Lamb and others. Later he started the Comic Annual, in which he caricatured the people and events of the day-satire done so deli cately and cleverly that the events he made fun of will live solely because he ,,,o.Jo +Lo,,, noo
 The last of his life was spent on a sick bed, and it was during this period that he wrote his two famous serious poems above mentioned.

Respect for Speed.

Human respect for speed depends chiefly upon the method of locomotion that is employed. Human. legs are one thing, bicycle is another, an automo- bile is another, and railroad train is another, while an airplane is "still something else again." All these have their measures of supremacy as estab, lished by the records, but in speaking of speed in an abstract sense "a mile a minute" will probably never lose it's rhetorical force. That rate is about as fast as any rational human being wants to move when he is on the level of mundane things. For him 1t repre- sents the. acme of speed and Salways will. Flying, of course, is another mat ter. That gives man sense( of re- moteness which makes the speed seem less terrific.
