RABBITS A PROFITABLE SOURCE
OF REVENUE IN AUSTRALIA
(By Associated Press J

Washington, Aug. 13.-Rabbits
which were once the curse Of Aus
tralia, as they have been to lesser
extent in the southwestern United
States, now are providing profitable
source Of revenue and at the same
time are helping to win the war by
increasing food supply.
Official dispatches received here say
the British Board Of Trade has or
dered 100000 crates of skinned rat
bits, which will require the killing OF
21,600,000 rabbits Weighing 36,0O0,0Oo
pounds after dressing. Previously
the rabbits were shipped with the
skins on, but inconvenience was ex-
perienced at hospitals in England in
removing the fur.
How to dispose of the skins is caus-
ing the Australians speculation. There
is a ready market for them In this
country, but tonnage is scarce.

SETTLE THE SOLDIERS ON
LAND IN FLORIDA AFTER WAR
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 13.-When the
soldier of 1866 laid down his arms to
take up a civil occupation, he turned
westward to a matchless public do
main which he helped to develop into
the worlds richest farms and cities.
The government was able to point the
way to a method by which the re
turned soldier was able to turn his
talents for livelihood, and the gov
ernment now is laying the ground
work to have similar land available
when the great war ends and the mil
lions of American soldiers return tc
civil life.
While the vast domain that awaited
the civil war veteran can not be du-
plicated 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
be offered to the returning soldier
with ample time to pay for the cost oil

Congress will be asked for legisla-
ton to make this land available, ac-
cording to the present plans of secre

Secretary Lane has announced that

of the interior to ask for legislation
nv which arid lands of the west, cu'
over lands of the northwest, and

"UNCLE JOE. CANNON'S
POLITICAL RECORD
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 13.-If the vot-
ers of the eighteenth Illinois district
elect "Uncle Joe" Cannon for twen-
lty-sixth term in Congress next No
yember, he will have equaled record
achieved by only one other in point
OF congressional service. Already the
former speaker has out-served all 9th
er present and former members of the
House for long service in that body !.
The late William Boyd Allison, former
Representative and later senator from
Iowa, held a record in Congress with
fcrty-four years service in both
houses.
Mr.. Cannon's record Is for service
In the House alone. One more term
would complete service Of forty
four years. Were it not for an af
fair in 1890, when the Democrats took
control Of the House, following the
passage Of the Mckinley tariff law,
and another incident of 1912, when
the Progressives split the Republican
vote, Mr.. Cannon's service would have
been for twenty-four terms continu-
Ious (forty-eight years.. AS It is he
began his service in 1873 and has
served since with the exception Of
the two terms mentioned.
Besides, Mr.. Cannon and the late
Senator Allison, Justin Morrill, Of Yer
mont, late representative and senator,
is among the former members who
saw long service in Congress. Mr..
Morrill, served forty-three years con-
tinuously as a representative and lat
er as a senator.
Mr.. Cannon's first term was In the
forty third Congress. He was first
elected speaker in the flfty-eighth
Congress and reelected in the fifty
ninth, sixtieth and sixty-first sessions.
