KIMBALL'S ADDRESS
On Soldiers Settlement, ;
Delivered before Farmers
Bureau, u. Of A.

The following address on SOL
diers' Settlement" was deliv-
cred by Hon. Andrew Kimball,
Agricultural Agent, U. S. Rail
road Administration, before the
Farmers Bureau, Farmers
Week, University of Arizona,
Tucson:
Initial Suggestion
On May 81, 1918, Secretary
Franklin K. Lane, of the De-
partment of the Interior, sent a
letter to President Wilson and
members of Congress, urging
upon them the advisability of
preparing for the return of SOL
diers and sailors by developing a
large program for the reclama-
tion and employ ment of our un-
used lands. a... 49,. ...... .
Pres. Wilson Supports Lanes
Plans
After calling to their attention
the many soldiers and sailors,
who will fit back into jobs on ar
riving home, President Wilson
says: But there will be others
who will be at a loss where to
gain a livelihood. 1t seems to
me important, therefore, that
plans should be made for the de-
velopment of unused lands and
our natural resources. Refer
ring to the Secretary's Annual
Report, he further says: IF the
states are willing and able to CO.
operate, we could redeem 300,-
10000 acres of land for cultiva-
tion-arid, swamp and cut-over
lands 100000 to 10000, 900
acres in the West at present arid,
for the reclamation of which
water is available; 230, 900, 600
from which the forests have been
cut, and there are nearly 80, 000,-
600 acres of land that lie under
swamps which can be drained. ="
All English-speaking Countries,
Other than Our Own, Provide
by Law
Cooperation is important in
this soldier settlement movement
cooperation between the Fed
eral government and the State
authorities. State legislation is
as necessary as Federal legisla-
ton both go hand in hand in
this great enterprise. A law is
proposed by Secretary Lane to
be fitted to local state conditions
which is now in process of legis-
lation in our State.
English and Canadian Methods
Methods of settlement by Eng
| lish and Canadian is to establish
central farms on which to try
out crops, to employ and train
soldiers, stock them with animals
and implements for use OF set
tiers.
Canada and Australia
In Canada and Australia plans
have been worked out for CO.
operative methods where the
general governments are to sup
ply the funds and the states sup
ply the land and to supervise its
division and possible control.
The period Of settlement varies
from 20 to 36a years in Austria
lian states.
All Countries
The legislative acts in all coun-
tries are practically complete,
looking to taking care of return
ing soldiers and sailors and war
workers.
State cooperation with private
companies and societies is pro-
vided for to build houses, pur-
chase acre farms, work over
large estates, selling their secur-
tiles in the money market to per-
petuate the work. This is no
tably true in France, Holland,
Norway and Sweden.

f. AS it is reported that the Flu
baccilli" is blown about through
dust by the wind, it is a splendid
idea to sprinkle the streets and
roads every day to lay the dust
and knock out the Flu bacilli.
1t is much cheaper to buy water
for sprinkling the streets and
roads than to pay doctors and
undertakers' bills. This advice
is given gratis to our local board
of aldermen and also the board
of supervisors.

THE MINIMUM WAGE LAW

If the Honorable Rosa Mckay,
State Representative of Gila
county in the Fourth Legislature,
were really and truly interested
in the condition of the working
women and girls of the State,
she would not be insisting on
legislation that will put them
out of their jobs.
To propose that young girl,
just leaving school, perhaps, and
totally inexperienced as worker
in any line. whether it be sales
lady in a store, as stenographer
or typewriter, as waitress in a
restaurant or as a laundry work
er, should receive the highest
compensation paid a very CON-
petent woman or girl after years
at the particular business in
which she is employed, is GER
tainly not an honest. way to take
care of such inexperienced wo-
man or girl, for no employer can
afford to hire her at the highest
wages she could expect to re-
ceive after years of experience
and teach her the business.
There is not business in this
State that employs women and
girl workers that could afford to
do this philanthropic work or
that would do it in order to carry
out the idea of the Honorable
Mckay that 1T is not the ques-
ton that the girl can earn the
high wages proposed as a begin
ner, but that she needs it and
must have it to live decently."
In Graham county there are
no factories or businesses en-
ploying large number of wo-
men or girls. There are no
laundries, only a few Offices, only
one lawyers office, in fact. in
which a young girl, a graduate
of the high school, is learning to
become proficient as a typewriter
and stenographer; only two Of
fees in other lines that employ
women, and then only one in
each place. In the several stores
of Stafford, Thatcher and Pima,
young girls are employed as sales.
ladies', starting in at the mini.
mum wages of $1,000 per week,
and getting the opportunity OF
higher wages as they become
more proficient and show and
take the proper interest in their
employers business. These girls
live at home.
In the restaurants of Stafford
and other towns in the valley,
young girls are employed as wait.

receive not less than $l.OO pei

board is not less than $l.0O pei

and they cannot get a room foi

than $1,000 per month, and hel

Ozark Horse" May
Capture Shoot Prize
at Travers Island

Fred Plum, present holder of the
amateur championship of America at
clay targets, is in the pink of condi-
ton. II he doesn't win the title again
at Travcrs Island. it will only be be-
cause Arie or Troeh or Pendergast
hangs up perfect score.
For some time past Plum has been
off his game. breaking most of them
to be sure, but not in championship
to TraVers Island and smashed 100
straight he knew that he was back on
EN-, and he headed for Boston for the
Patriots Day championship. Those
who saw him perform report that
they never saw him shoot better; he
couldn't miss-breaking $50 straight.
The Boston shoot also showed that
there arc some marksmen uD there
who must be reckoned with next
week. In winning the first leg of the
b. A. An. Y. a. c. five-man team
race. Jay Clarke. Jr.. winner of the
last year, broke 1913 by 200. and fin
ished the two days program with a
score of 2S9 by 500 OF course, he
must needs do better than that to
win the championship, but his per-
formance last year at Maplewood in
running 200 straight is, sufficient
proof that he can come through.
Little has been heard of the per-
ennial winner of the New York state
championship, Hank Pendergast, but
ii is n safe bet that he is slowed
away upstate getting in trim to win
the national event as well as the
state championships. Frank Wright,
S. Wilson. commissioner of agricul-
ture OF New York state. are both ex-
pectcd to back up Pendergast in up
holding the honor of New York state.

existing between the two schools.

''Clint" White Chosen
For Umpire in the
Allison Hill League

Following closely after the ap-
pointment of Dick" Nebinger as
an umpire in the Allison Hill League
that opens May 5, comes the state
ment from officers of the league that
Clint" White will be another arbi-
ter on the Hill staff of "Umps."
For several years "Clint" has
been the extra man in the cage at
all of the Independent contests at
Chestnut street hall, as well as be-
ing the scholastic official for Steelton
High school in the Central Pennsyl-
Nania Basketball League.
White made a reputation on the
diamond as captain and third base
man for the Highspire team of the
old Central Pennsylvania baseball
league. He is a clean, honest official
and his appointment will mean
much to the clean, wholesome sport
that will attract thousands to the
Seventeenth and Chsetnut street
diamond, while many a supper will
turn cold during the progress of q
hot game

MOTIVE POWER SHOW

The bill announced by the Motive
Power Club for their next boxing
show to be held in their athletic
room at the corner of Seventh and
Boyd streets, on the evening of Tues
day, April 20, promises to eclipse the
last great show, which had fire fly
ing off the ropes the entire evening.
In the windup the ever popular
Joe" McCarron stacks up against
Young Weyman, of Girardville, who
is being brought here by request, and
it would seem that McCarron has
taken a big task on himself, as
Weyman comes here with q record
as long as your arm. Weyman has
boxed Johnny Mahoney, of Hazleton,
six times; Johnny Cobb, of Philadel-
phia; Willie Jackson, Joe McCarron
and a host of others. He gained the
newspaper decision several weeks
ago over McCarron In a ten-round
bout. His most notable performance
was when he boxed Willie Jackson
six rounds at Reading. He met
frankie Clarke last Monday night
at the Olympia Club in Philadelphia,
and on May 2, he battles frankie
Brown, of New York. This Brown
parsonage it will be remembered re-
Gently beat Kilbane, at Philadelphia.
McCarron is also much in demand
and is scheduled to meet Young
Robideau at Pennsgrove on May /.
In the semi-windup, it had been
intended to match Young Fulton
with Jack Wolpert. of Lancaster,
but Fulton has an infected ear and
could not accept the offer. However,

Wilson Delays Peace,
Asserts G. w. Perkins

New York. April 25.-President
Wilson's conduct of Americas peace
negotiations has "unquestionably de-
layed the making of peace with
Germany" and placed the nation
in a very exposed position that is
full OF grave dangers and conse-
quences to the United States"
George w. Perkins declared in a
statement upon his return from
France.
He has been abroad since Decem-
ber investigating complaints made
by American soldiers against the
Y. NJ. c. A.
There is a growing evidence, he
continued, that Germany mo longer
feels that she was whipped and
is coming to feel that the wat was
more les; of draw" Th3 me
to have n,aGe peace with Germany
he said was the very 1Irst hour
possible after November H. when
her ruling ,lass, military class and
tho ECU acr generally were in u
far more tumble frame of mind"

mis- place will be filled most admir-
ably by Battling Peskos, of Reading
who has fought Fulton seven times
to draws. Peskos is sure to give VOL
pert a good fight as he is a good
puncher and very rugged little
chap.
In the main preliminary, Rube
Bennett, of Harrisburg, takes On
Soldier McGoorty, of Allentown
Little is known of McGoorty here
abouts, except that he came over to
Lancaster several weeks ago and
beat Monroe Miller. 1t looks like q
good match.
In the second preliminary Eddie
Graney, of Bethlehem, meets Eddie
Loechner, of Lancaster, who fought
Young Mahoney, at Steelton on
Wednesday night. Graney boxed in
Allentown last night and should be
in good shape for Tuesday

A dispatch from Sunbury, to-day,
says that "Clyde Keller, of Sunbury,
who claims to be the champion wrestler
of Central Pennsylvania, to-day cover
ed a $500 purse put up by hackers of
James Jones, of Scranton, for a finish
bout. The contest will take place here
on Friday night, the winner to take all
of the gate receipts.
At the same time a Chicago n essage
states that: Catch-as-catch-can wrest-
ling may be added to the list of events
at the Olympic games in Antwerp next
year. Such a request, it was stated
to-day will be made to the International
Olympic Committee, through President
Samuel Dallas and Secretary Ruben,
of the A. A. u, by Everett c. Brown.
member of the National Championship
Committee.
It was pointed out that since the re-
newal of the worlds games the Graeco.
Roman style of wrestling has prevailed.
American wrestlers have no chance
in such contests. as the style is practi-
cally extinct here" said Mr.. Brown.
1.-The catch-as-catch-can style is regard
ed as more scientific than the Graeco-
Roman, which is considered principally
test of strength"
One thing sure, this husky game is
due for a big revival, because it is
more interesting than any other
athletic exhibition to a great multi
tude. This was proved here in the two
bouts staged, and what the Harrisburg
wrestlers want to see is plenty of
action. So it will pay them to keep in
training.
Harrisburg is identified right now
with all kinds of talent but the prime
cards are Jack Ozar, just resigned from
State Police, and Ernest C. Lehmer, the
lightweight local champion, who is
skilful and successful. Lehmer will
meet all challengers in the weight he
makes and Jack Ozar bars nobody.
