which the secretary of the interior, with the act
i've cooperation of the war and navy departments,
is sending to the various camps of the army,
navy, and marine corps throughout the country

plan for providing them with work and homes on
reclaimed land.
The booklet is in the form Of questions and
answers which give complete and concise des-
cripton of the plan, and also has attached to it
post card QUESTIONABLE which the men asked
to fill out and mail to the department. Each man
interested will be asked to state his name, home
address, age, occupation before enlistment,
whether he has ever worked on farm, whether
he is interested in the plan what kind of farming
he would like to follow, whether general, live
stock, truck, or fruit, and whether he would be
willing to take job in his own state or anywhere
in the United States if job on one of these pro-
posed projects is offered to him.
A tabulation of the replies will be presented
to congress in connection with Secretary Lanes
request for initial appropriation of 100000

The MillerKemper Construction

firm, having been organized in 1909.
Both members of the firm were ex-

and the young firm enjoyed large
business from the very frst.
The company's policy, one which up
until that time had been used by only

TANKS FOR COMMERCE

LONDON, Feb. Is. - The tanks
are going after civilian jobs in the
army Of reconstruction.
The tank idea, developed in war
from the American farm tractor, is
not going to be abandoned in
peace. Engineers are at work on
designs for commercial high-speed
tanks, or trucks with tank treads,
and manufacture OF these machines
probably will keep the war tank
factories running.
The advantages Of the caterpil-
Ter tread, used in tanks, include
less wear and tear on roads, great
er mud-navigating powers, and
great hill-climbing ability, 1t is
claimed.

IMMIGRANT EXODUS THREAT
EMS s0UTHS LABOR SUPPLY


washington expects 1900 900 i'm
migrants to return to Europe within
six months after the peace treaty ID
signed. and estimates that they will
carry with them an average Of So
600 each.
The loss Of nearly $4,000. 900, 90
is, however, small matter compared
to the drainage Of the countryss la
Dor supply. An official Of the De-
partment Of Labor, in presenting the
above statistics. predicts further
heavy draft on the South's labor re-
sources. The needs Of the North and
West will be so urgent he believes
that no laws seeking to prevent la
Dor agencies from operating in the
South for the benefit Of other Sec
tions viii be adequate for the pro-
lection of the Southern farmer.
In this connection the report of
Mr. r. H. Leavell of an investigation
made in Mississippi for the Depart
ment of Labor is of interest. Mr..
Leayell is a Mississippian. gradu-
ate of the State University, and a
member OF Congress from his state.
He finds negro workers remaining
satisfied at home in those parts Of
the state where friendly contact be-
tween white and coIored leaders is
maintained; where good homes, a
living j, wage and full legal protec-
tion are assured; and where efforts
are made to educate the tenants to
more .remuneratiye methods of farm
ing. These conditions he finds best
developed in those counties where
the percentage Of white illiteracy is
smallest. In other words, Intelligent
whites believe in a liberal and edu-
catiye policy for negroes and find
that 1t pays.
In Bolivar county, where labor is
most satisfactory and most securely
held, a Community Congress- is in
operation. 1t consists OF Ave white
representatives Of each of the fve
districts Of the county, and of five
negro leaders. 1t deals with all prob
lens of community interest and de-
velopment. Automatically" says
Congressman Leavell. ''it provides
