FARMSFOR War
VETS BILL IS
PROGRESSING
Hearing Expected to be
Completed and Bill Fa-I
vorably Reported Within
Next Two Weeks.
sv GEORGE II. MANNING

Washington, July 21.-Such salts
factory progress is being made by the
house public lands committee on the
farm for soldiers bill that Chairman
Nicholas J. Sinnott expects to have
the hearings completed and the bill
favorably reported to the house within
two weeks.
The passage of the bill by both the
house and senate in substantially the
form in which it was introduced on
the opening day of this extra session
by House Republican Leader Mondell
is predicted by its advocates since 1t
was heartily endorsed a few days ago
by the American Legion of World War
Veterans, with a membership of sew
eraI millions.
The MondelI bill plans to establish
many thousand war veterans on farms
through reclamation of cut-over
timber and wet lands of the southern
states, irrigation of arid lands in the
west and development of other un-
utilized lands throughout the country.
The American Legion of World War
Veterans went on record as favoring
the bill because of the belief that it
would provide employment and homes
for many thousands of soldiers. sailors
and marines and at the same time aid
in developing the country. promoting
the movement of population back to the
land improving agriculture increas-
ing the food supply and discouraging
the spread of bolshevism that grows
out of idIeness and discomfort.
The Farms for Soldiers bill author
ICES the expenditure of half a billion
dollars to be spread over several years.
1t will be really loan. however. be-
cause it is provided that all the ex-
penditures made by the government in
setting the war veterans up on the
farms shall be repaid with interest at
4 per cent.
The American Legion has sent a
legislative comuaittee to Washington
TO further the passage of the legisla-
ton The committee is composed of
Colonel Luke Lea, formerly United
States senator from Tennessee who
is said to have headed a raiding party
into Holland in an attempt to capture
the kaiser, and Colonel T. W. Miller. of
the ordnance department. formerly a
member of the house of representatives

travagant I'm the world, only los out OF
