FARMS FOR SOLDIERS
EVERY POSSIBLE EFFORT WILL
BE MADE TO ENCOURAGE BOYS
TO TAKE UP AGRICULTURE.

Washington, May 31-The soldiers
settlement bill is believed to be GER
tain of passage early in the extra
a conference held between leaders of
both parties in the senate and house
and officials of the interior depart
ment.
This legislation is designed to pro-
vide rural homes for men who have
served in the military forces of the
United States during the war.
Discharged soldiers, sailors and
marines will be employed at $4 day
in the development of public lands
Those who desire may obtain allot-
ments of the reclaimed land for farm
ing at price to be fixed later, with
liberal terms of payment.
Those who take over such land may
borrow up to $4,000 apiece for devel-
opment of their farms.
All important provisions of the pro-
posed measure were decided upon,
and the details are now being worked
out by experts of the department. 1t
will be introduced in both houses as
soon as the redraft is completed.
The bill will carry authorizations
totaling $500,000,000 and will en-
power the Secretary of the Interior
to acquire lands by purchase, or gift,
in addition to using public lands.
Projects will be developed in every
state where suitable lands are avail
able, but sites will be selected only
where ther are sufficient areas to
form community centers.
The secretary Of the interior also
will be authorized to put, the lands
acquired for these purposes in con
d1tlon for use and cultivation. This
work will involve irrigation in arid
territory, drainage in swamps, stump
pulling and leveling in cut-over areas
and general restoration, including
clearing, in abandoned farming sec
tions.
Roads necessary to provide access
to the projects to be built.
The secretary will divide the re-
claimed districts into farm units of
sufficient size to afford support to
family and smaller tracts for farm
workers who desire to cultivate a
space for truck.
A cash payment of 5 per cent of
the cost of the farm will be required.
On place costing $4,000, the initial
outlay therefore would be $3.50. The

WILSON SKATERS IDOLS.

President Wilson'S extending the
olive branch to wine and beer was not
we'll advised. Doubtless he had his
reasons, and they may appear to be
more urgent than they are now sus-
pected Of being; but the average
sober, homecoming, Woodworking
man in business or at a trade will
look upon the presidents recon-
mendation as a mistake. In the east
it may be regarded as feasible to al
low light wines and beers and to pro-
hibit whisky and the strong liquors;
in the west, where we have always
had more or less prohibition, it is
accepted as a fact that they cannot

must provide the other 20 per cent
either in cash or through the value
of his labor in making sthe improve
ments.
If additional funds are needed to
stock and equip the farm with ma
chinery, the secretary of the interior
may advance up to $780,
Land purchased under this law can
not be sold or transferred within ten
years from the date of contract of
sale is entered into without the con-
sent Of the secretary of the interior.
More than forty thousand inquiries
on this subject already have been re-
ceived Secretary Lane said today.
Many of the inquiries have indicated
desire to engage in the work of
reclamation.
The farms contain from forty to
eighty acres for general farming pur-
poses; eighty to 160 acres for live
stock raising; fifteen to twenty acres
for truck farms

osity and selfishness, altruism anu
pessimism, and all the other charac-

that as we give way to one or the 9TH
err so does that characteristic gain
control of US. The struggle goes on
in each heart until the curtain drops
and the scroll is written forever.
There is a thought here for every
one. Our own lives depend upon how
we give way to the moods that beset
us all. Back of these moods lies
conscience saying which is right and
which is wrong. The man becomes
what his moods direct and his de-
scendants bear his impress for good
or evil.
Think twice before you cast a
stone.
