Listed from South Australia ex-
pressed a desire to take up farm
ing, To fit the men for this new
life we have established soldier
training farms, where discharged
men study from four to six months
and are paid the same wages they
received in military service Sl.50
a day for seven days a week, with
| double rations for married men,
| single rations for single men, and
quarters. At the end of the train
ing period the men are allotted
blocks of land varying from twenty
to 500 acres, according to the quail
ity Of the soil.
"All this is in the way of an ad-
vance, the maximum being $500,
repayable in instruments at a low
rate of interest. Payments may
extend over forty-two years. Sol
diers established on these terms
are making good.
Australia is fortunate in still pos
sessing large tracts of vacant land,
or tiliable land under government
control, which it can parcel out to
these soldiers who have been turn
ed back to the soil by daily contact
with Nature in the open. America
after the war, will undoubtedly find
many of its soldiers reluctant to re-
turn to urban life, preferring the
joys of outdoors as exemplified by
the farmers life. Our problem,
however, will be different than
A~ustralia's, for we have not avail
able the land with which to satisfy
this craving. After wi own Civil
war the same conditions prevailed
here and we were able to meet
them by throwing open the great
domain then lying vacant west of
the Mississippi river.
There remains one solution of
the problem which should be con
sidered by congress for possible
adoption. Here in America we
have too many big farms and too
Jew small ones. BY government
purchase of the large farms and by
dividing them up into small farms
these soldiers who want to farm
could be supplied with land under
a plan that would sell it to them on
easy payments at the same price
paid by the government.

Idaho, Arizona, Kansas and New

frage has been granted to women: H.
linois. North Dakota. Arkansas. Me-
braska. Michigan and Rhode Island,
while suffrage amendment referen-
dums have been passed in these ten
states: Iowa. Massachusetts, Missouri,
New Jersey. Ohio, Pennsylvania, So.

West Virginia.
In Canada five provinces have grant
ed full suffrage to women; in Mexico
the women of the state of Guanjuato
have been granted full suffrage; all
the Scandinavian countries, except
Sweden. have granted full suffrage to
to women; the city of Prague, Bohemia
has woman suffrage.
In France a special suffrage commits
sion has favorably reported a resolu-
zion to grant equal suffrage to women;
in Hungary the party in power has
pledged itself to secure suffrage for the
women of Budapest; the Italian pre-
mier has pledged municipal suffrage
for women and the king Of Belgium has
promised the Belgian oue suffrage.
In Great Britain parliamentary vote
for M has passed the house Of
commons and the resolution is expect
ed TO pass the house OF lords and to be
signed by the king. Other electoral
rights have been extended.
Altogether the situation OF woman
suffrage throughout the world today is
tremendously improved over what it
was before the war. Whether the
present condition has been brought
about by the realization of woman's
equality in the state, through the ex-
celient work the women have done,
would be impossible to say, but it is
not improbable that such is the case

RUMORS

Agricultural experts of the Uni
versity of California have charact
erized as absurd the reported plot
by enemy aliens in America to de-
stroy the wheat crop.cf the United
States by the dissemination of a
destructive pollen said to have been
shipped from Germany. The tale
was that this pollen was to be
spread broadcast over the ripening
wheat, causing it to rot away.
1.-THE very nature of wheat" said
one of the experts, "would make
such a scheme impossible. Even
4 the wheat could be inpregnated
Il would not be destroyed"
This story is closely related to
another agitating lie that was cir
culated through the cattle raising
states of the west last summer.
There had been several sporadic
outbreaks of anthrax, just as there
always is in the spring of the year.
Immediately some warped mind
raw behind these purely natural
outbreaks a German plot to kill the
meat supply of the country. Elk
pert veterinarians laughed at the
tanlors, pointing out that, while
anthrax is fatal to cattle, it is very
difficult to spread its contagion ar
officially while there are half a
score other diseases common TO
cattle that could more easily accom-
plish the same end.
Some six or eight years ago the
central west was victimized by a
1eory that a mysterious, hair-like,
seabbage worm had been the cause
ut q number of deaths Of persons
Who had carelessly cooked the
worm with the cabbage. After the
psrpetrator Of the lie had secured
! practical corner on cabbage
The tale was officially denied.
These stories Of wheat poisoning
and cattle poisoning are of the same
cloth and undoubtedly voiced for
The same purpose, to affect the
market through panic and fear in
eulcated in the minds of the peo-
-. The best way to treat such
sunnors is to ignore them or laugh
= them. Giving them credence
enly establishes your own mental
hcapacity and aids in the harm
INT is aimed at.

up in school can generally be told
from those who have been trained sol

much with other children are less like
ly to develop arrogance, s%elishness

schoolmates in u frame of mind to put

children of q larger growth often
crave an admiration which they do not

Dy harping on the theme Of self, and
they find that the audience for that

to the performer. To knock the "I''
out OF ones conversation is not neces-
sarily to make it interesting. Many
times a narrative loses greatly in pith
and pungency by the i~mpersonality in
which it is couched. A story of adven-
ture greatly gains by the sense Of the
frst-hand participation of the narrator
In the incidents he describes. When
the first person Is introduced for the

there need be no apology; when T. is
introduced for the glorifcation Of the

made happy by q glowing conscious
ness that the right thing was done, and
that auto-satisfaction of virtue is their
reward. But most Of us have not
reached that lofty pinnacle wherein
we a abide serenely Independent Of
what Others think or say. We want a
kind word now and then to keep us
going. We hunger for appreciation,
even when we tell ourselves we are
not worth it. Who has not known the
