the money for construction. The plans propose that these settlements be scattered all over the country, so that it would be possible for every honor ably discharged soldier or sailor or marine to work near his old home. There would be work of all kinds in connection with these settlements, from the highest technical and cleri- cal positions to that of laborer.
 The plan involves ''the new farm idea" "sin that there will be built what are known as community settlements, each containing number of farm homes, so that the men will have near neighbors, good roads over which to bring their produce to town, and d market for the ssale of the produce within a short distance of the farm home Efforts win be made to over come the handicaps of farm life that are driving the people to the cities the lack of society in the country the distance between farm homes, the re- moteness from the postpffice and the newspaper, the desire for better school facilities for the children. Under the new way there will be the farm viii lage. the settlement of farmers around a center which is their home, in which can be gathered most of the advantages of the city - the good school, the church, the moving pie ture, the well-outfitted store, and these, with good roads, the rural ex- press, the telephone,> the automobile and the postoffice will make life on the farm a thing of far different mean ing from the isolated life it has been.
 Homes for All
 After these service men have build ed the dams and canals, or cleared the cut-over land of stumps, or built the ditches to drain the swamp lands; after they have helped to erect houses and barns, built fences, constructed roads and laid out townsites, built after they have in fact reclaimed the land, the government intends to allow the men to pick out one of these farms. The plan provides that these farms and homes shall be paid for in small payments over long term of years It is expected that the men will be able to pay the first small payment out of the wages received from the government in helping to build these settlements. The balance can be paid from the proceeds from the sale of crops
 It is planned that the government

SOLDIERS ASKING ABOUT PROMISED
 FARM HOMES

WASHIGTON, May 29. With an everSincreasing flood of men return ing home from the war to take up new tasks of civil life, many of them with greatly changed ideas of life and am bitions and in quandary as to just what to do, are appealing to the De pertinent of the Interior for informa- tion as to the intentions of the gov ernment in it's proposed plan of pro- viding farms for soldiers.
 Such a deluge of requests has been received from the men, who wore the uniform as to emphasize the lesson of all other wars that the service men, because of army life, with it's open ness and activity, largely seek out-of- doors vacations.
 The interior department has already explained to more than 10000 men that the development of it's plans rests solely with Congress. It is expected that early in the extra session, which : convened May 20, there will be in- troduced bills covering the farms-for- soldiers plan.
 Briefly, the department is saying that, if such legislation is passed, work will begin at once in the depart ment of cooperative farm settlements for soldiers and sailors in nearly all of the states. In practically every state in. the union there are large areas of land suitable for this purpose. There is dry land in the west that needs water, which can be provided by building dams and canals. In the east there are large areas of cut-over or 1ogged-off timber lands from which it will be necessary to blow the stumps and clear off the underbrush. In the south is a large amount of cut-over land and swamp land which must be drained.
 Many of the soldiers have asked if it will be possible for them to obtain a job near their homes by draining, clearing, irrigating and improving these lands. That again depends upon the action of Congress in providing

SEES 100000 POPULATION F0R
 ARIZONA STATE
C. M. Zander Impressed by Resources
 Observed During Tour

PHOENIX, May 29.-'1 thoroughly will have a population of 1,00O, ,O0O people" said c. M. Zander, chairman of the state tax commission, on his return from a tour of the state making the annual levies.
 MT. Zander said that he based his estimate on the rapid development in agriculture in the state, to which could be added other natural re sources more than sufficient to draw hundreds of thousands to Arizona within the next few years.
 Fine Alfalfa and Fruit
 T have seen alfalfa growing at an altitude of 1900 feet, and at an alti- tude of $500 feet, said Zander, sthat had not received any irrigation at all have seen cherries, plums, apricots, apples and peaches growing on, trees that had not received any irrigation water and not more than 15 inches of rainfall
 Added to the agricultural possibili- ties, MT. Zander also outlined the op- portunities in timber, coal, copper, sill yer and other ores. will also furnish the new farmers with the necessary stock and farm impIs- ments, these to be paid for in small payments spread over several years
 These farms will contain from 40 to 80 acres for general farming pur- poses, from 80 to 160 acres for live stock purposes, from IS to 20 acres for fruit farms and from 5 to 20 acres for truck farms.
 Competent instructors in farm prac- tice will be stationed on each project to teach the men how to make sue cess of farming. This will make it possible for men who know nothing about farming to make success of these farms. The plan is to be open to every man who has worn Uncle Safn's uniform in the great war.

Are not some individual men and women sufficiently
developed now for real civilization? Perhaps Are not
some sufficiently developed? Probably not You
will not find gallows prison in the land after real
civilization shall have reached it.
It must be remembered that the human race has not
reached the point indicated by the scientist who explores
space and numbers stars by the phlanthropist who
devotes his energies and fortune to the unhappy and
ignorant To know what the human race is how it
has gone, take your average.
Pick out the human half way uehind the highest
civilized being and the lowest savage able only
four, halfway between Newton and Barnums "What Is
It?' and you will have the present day civilization.
Your average human standing midway between the
lowest type of the lowest savage tribe and the highest
human mind would be about equal to one of the most
iiterate rough millions of Russian Balkan peasants.
Humanity is only high as its average. Under the
circumstances is doing pretty well for Is far

No man need worry about that he does his share
