It Is realized that much expense
will be involved In making Fort Pond

an indentation on the north shore of
Long Island and while protected from

engineers say that in order to protect

The contracts will carry a time
limit in which the ships are to be
completed and in order to stimulate
rivalry between competing yards a.
bonus plan is being worked out. The
navy habitually pays a bonus for
speed in excess of contract, but the
shipping board feels confident that
the enormous speed required for these
racers will be fully sufficient. for the
service for which they have been de-
signed. Therefore it is more concerned
with speedy delivery than It is with
the extra knot or two which might be
added to- their pace. So its contem-
plated bonus is for delivery ahead OF
contract, rather than for speed in ex-
cess of contract.

Il Washington Aug. 6.-Plans for
two gigantic OIL burning ocean racers
designed for d speed of 80 knots an
hour and capable of crossing the At
lantic in less than four days, have
been completed, and as the result OF
a conference had,s between Chairman
Hurley of the United States shipping
hoard, the chief constructor of the

immediate appointment of a commit

with this great undertaking.
The shipping board lpng ago had in
mind the buildings & two passenger
liners that would exceed in size and
speed any merchant vessel under any
flag. But while the wal was on, 1t felt
reluctant about taking the matter up.
Now that peace has been signed, it
means to go ahead with the plan and
to begin work on these two vessels
without delay.

procedure is the RECOMMENDATION

HEROES ARE. RESTORED
Vocational Training VIII Eliminate
Dependence Upon Pensions.

An arrangement entered into by the
federal board for vocational educa-
ton and the order of Elks provides
for suitable training and re-education
for soldiers who were injured or dis
abled by service in the war. 1t is not
a charitable scheme but an educa-
tional help. Those accepting it will
be paid for their work while in train
ing. Under the provisions of the law
every soldier will be restored to the
equality of opportunity with his fellow
citizens.
Details of the system are now being
distributed thru the Red Cross,
Catholic war council Salvation Army
and various other welfare organiza-
tons interested in the future of the
, disabled heroes of the war. Assur-
ance is given that every disa bled SOL
der, sailor and marine will be phys
ically rehabilitated, and his support
guaranteed. If he is technically out
side the purview of the federal voca-
tional act he will be cared for and
trained thru an appropriation of
100000 made for this purpose by
the national organization of E1ks.
To carry out this plan the Topeka
lodge of Elks has named a soldiers
friend committee to have charge of de-
tails. Members of this committee are
James L. King, Charles H. Sessions,
Arthur Carruth, W. o. Anderson, Ivan
A. Allen and R. NJ. voolfolk.

VIEW OF THE FARMER
c. C. Highfield of Axtell Against Half
Wits" OF Victory Loan Campaign.


A few days ago the State Journal
carried an earnest and patriotic plea
from the Topeka victory loan commit
tee asking the farmers of Shawnee
county to contribute more literally to
the present drive.
c. C. Highfield, a farmer from Ak
tell, Kan, has written an answer to
this plea. If his attitude is. general
over Kansas it appears that the farm
er does not intend to cooperate with
the town man in subscribing to this
government loan.
Highfield says in part:
Il am not Shawnee county farmer
but a Kansas farmer and we have had
such dope shot at us by lot of half
wits that we are getting tired of it.
The lead pencil farmers and the peo-
pie of the towns are always blowing
about the crops and what the farmers
are making. 1t is two months until
harvest and a lot of things can happen
to the crops. A lot of farmers are
buying hay right now at $50 to $40 a
ton and they are borrowing money to
do it. There is plenty of room on the
farm for these big mouthed yaps."
When confronted with the letter to-
day one of the members of the victory
loan committee said: well, I sup
pose Mr.. Axtell farmer bought his hay
at $50 to $40 a ton from the town man
who raised it on his front lawn"
