authorization to organize unit
which some other state Is unwlliing
to organize from it's allotment Thus.
recently, the state Of Nevada, to wnlcn
was allotted a regiment of infantry
announced that it would not organize
any guard units during the present
wear. Iowa thereupon obtained the
privilege Of organizing an additional
Snfantry regiment to make up the re-
ouired number of infantry regiments
for that section. Iowa was eager 10
obtain this privilege In order to or
eanize a regiment out of it's contin-
gent of national guardsmen who
served in the Rainbow Division. The
militia bureau has given permission
to South Dakota to organize horse
drawn regiment of field artillery in
stead of the infantry regiment allot-
ted to 1t.
The matter of universal military
training is of vital interest to the
National Guard; for if any such sys-
tenn becomes operative in the course
of the next few years all members of
the guard will have had some mill
tary experience before they become
Ruardsmen In consequence. If the
guard remains an integral part of the
scheme of national defense-as it
doubtless Willis efficiency will be
multiplied many times through the
quality of it's personnel. Graduates of
the present war will supply it with
efficient officers for many years to
come.

The bureau has been able to secure

by them, will entitle the state to re-
ceive federal aid. These allotments
must now be made on the basis OF
to a divisional unit. Most states
however, are not satisfied altogether
with the units allotted to them

The upshOt OF the matter was that
week or two later Mr.. Campbell was
IN the presence of the secretary of the

tary asked him was what kind of u

"Any kind" was the reply. "iust so

asked the secretary.

/ That certainly made hit with the

why he didn't make it 100000 acres in
stead of the 10000 he had asked for
and added:
Gould you handle that many
acres?"
Certainly" replied Mr.. Campbell.
"only it will require more capital than
l had figured on"

could be arranged and told Mr.. Camp

The contract was drawn and in due

The next step was to finance the

tractors. Last fall. when the first
ground was broken. there were fifty
monster machines at work tearing up
the prairie sod. This spring others
were ut work: They plowed on the
average one acre Il minute for the
working time. A record was made
on one day OF l.SSO acres turned and
broken. All the seeding. harvesting.
ETC.. was also done by tractors. and
then. Of course. there are the thrash
ing machines. Hence the absolute
ustlessness of horses about this place.
One of the first problems Mr.. Camp
bell had to solve was the number Of
various kinds of machines that would
be required to do the work ON the en-
tire farm. He solved this by dividing
the farm into units of 5000 acres and
then allowing certain period for
each operation-such as blowing. har-
rowing. seeding, cutting. thrashing-on
each unit.
The 5.OOO-acre unit also has another
use. Mr.. Campbell. as active as he is.
couldn't reasonably he expected to
personally oversee work on 2OOOOO
acres Of land throughout the season.
So each unit is put in charge Of n

Fighting Heart of Jack
Dempsey is an Heirloom
From the Days of Feuds

Jack Dempsey. heavyweight cham
pion of the world. although born in
Manassa. Col, sprang from the purest
type of West Virginia mountaineer
stock. The champions grandfather,
Ance Dempsey. was IL pioneer settler
OF Logan county.
The report widely circulated. that
Dempsey was born near Williamson,
W. Va. is incorrect. 1t is slightly over
quarter of Il century since H. I.
Dempsey and the mother of the new
champion lett their old home there.
Jack was born about IL year after his
parents arrived in the West.
The old Dempsey homestead in the
mountains is located only a short dis
lance from the abode Of Devil" Ance
Hatfield. who gained widespread no.
t"riety during the Hatfield Mccoy
feud.
Although there are still many close
relatives Of the Dempsey family re.
siding in that vicinity. the present
champion has never visited them.
Both Dempsey's father and grand
father were farmers and wOodsmen
and are remembered by old residents
there as fearless mountainpers who
stood high in community where
courage was demanded of all.
At the present time there are two
uncles and several cousins Of the
champion residing in Mingo county.

AHlS huge farm, prop
ably the largest in the world, is a di
rect result of the governments eff

wheat during the last two years. The
farm is devoted entirely to wheat. and

tidy sum Of $l2.G56,OOO. OF course

there should be enough left, after all
expenses are paid. to make the ven.
fure worth while.
Thomas d. Campbell is the man
who conceived the idea of the worlds
largest wheat farm. or any other sort
Of farm. for that matter. Originally
OF Grand Forks. more recently OF Los

management.
1t was during the summer of 1917
that Campbell first thought of raising
wheat on large scale on unused
lndian lands. and wrote to the Indian
bureau at Washington. outlining his
plans and asking how to. proceed ia
lease some Of the tracts. He was
courteously Informed by sundry oh.
scure clerks in the department that
1t couldn't be done. They cited Ger.
tain rules and regulations and laws
to prove their assertions.
This had the same effect on Mr..
Campbell that red rag does on n

makes him the more determined ia
do what he sets out to do. So no
