a report will be submitted to congress
during the winter upon this matter
1t appears now that there are at least
200 100000 acres of land in the United
States that can be reclaimed. To re-
claim these acres will obviate all diff
fculty whatever as to the reabsorp'

men who reclaim the land will own
the farms. The Government will lend
them money with which to get on their

the back of this ruinous movement
toward the cities. So out of this war
will come many good things, and once

for sacrifice, appreciation of service
