Herbert than his physicians did for

substituted for.

LAYING PLANS FOR
RETURNED SOLDIERS

When the soldier Of 1865 lait
down his arms to take up civil oc'
cupation he turned westward to {
matchless public domain which HI
Helped to develop into the worlds
richest farms and cities. The gov
rrnment was able to point the way
to a method by which the returned
soldier was able to turn his talents

now is laying the ground work tC

The great war ends and the millions
Of American soldiers return to civil
life.
While the vast domain that await
ed the Civil war veteran can not be
duplicated for those who return from
the European battle fields, there are
millions OF acres which can be made
available with proper legislation and
subsequent development, and which,
according to the present plans, will

with ample time to pay for the cost
of development if he desires to ac-
cept it.
Congress will be asked for legis-
lation to make this land available,
according to the present plans OF
Secretary Lane and congressional
leaders. Secretary Lane recently an
rounced that it will be the policy Of
the department of the interior to ask
for legislation by which arid lands
% the west, cut over lands of the
northwest, and swamp lands in the
middle west and the south, can be
reclaimed and the soldier given a
preferred status in its allotment,
BILLS are now before congress on
that subject, and the plan now is to
weld into an administration bill a
measure embracing Secretary Lanes
ideas, the legislation to be patterned
after a bill now before the house

larger percentage Of this land Is now

says. THE canals, the bitches, the
breaking OF the land and the build

proper direction, be his occupation,
lie should be allowed to make his
own home, cared for while he is do
ing it, and given an interest in the
land for which he can pay through a
long period Of years, perhaps so or
30 years.
So that the soldier on his return
ould have an opportunity to make
a home for himself, to build a home
with the money which we would adj
vance and which he would repay, AMI
for payment we would have an abun-
dant security"

The.Germans have suffered another
severe reverse 10 France during the

attacks on front of 80 miles or
more reaching from the Disc river
above Compiegne north to the Somme

past week retaken territory to depth
of8 to IL miles, eliminating the
Montdidier salient and forcing the

ONE OF THE "sUREs."

Wyoming is one of the seven states
which will vote upon the question of
statewide prohibition next November.
The Republican party of that state has
through its central committee declared
itself emphatically for the measure.
The resolution indOrsing prohibition
concludes with these words:
1--WE, the representatives of the Re-
publican party Of the state of Wyom-
Ing, in committee assembled, do here
and now pledge every person receiv-
ing nomination for any public Office
within the state of Wyoming at our
hands, from United States senator
down to ward constable, to the policy
of absolute prohibition and the en-
forcement Of every law enacted for the
purpose of bringing about the COM
plete prohibition of the manufacture,
barter and sale of alcoholic liquors for
beverage purposes"
Entirely surrounded by dry states, on
the south and west two deep, Wyoming
cannot logically remain wet. Ninety
nine per cent of the state Is already
dry under state and municipal statute.
Women have voted there since 1885,
That statewide prohibition will win
next fall is foregone conclusion.
