for in small payments over long term
of years. It is expected that the men
will be able to pay the first small pay
ment out of The wages received from
tie government in helping to build
these settlements. The balance can be
paid from the proceeds from the sale
of crops.
1t is planned that the government
will also furnish the new farmers with
the necessary stock and farm nipple
ments, these to be paid for in small
payments spread over several years.
These farms will contain from for
ty to eighty acres for general farm
ing purposes, from eighty to one hun
dred and sixty acres for live stock
purposes, from fifteen to twenty acres
for fruit and from five to twenty 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 krow nothing a
bout farming to make a success OF
these farms. The plan is to be open

THE PEACE TREATY

Some soft hearted people think the
peace terms as stated to the Germans
at Versailles, are too severe. Yet Ger
many is much better off today than
was the Southern Confederacy after
the Civil War. Today the South is
very prosperous. If Germany will
quit whining and go to work, accept
ing her defeat in good faith, she can
satisfy all demands of the allies and
regain prosperity before the present
generation passes on.
The German people must remember
that to attain any prosperity, they
have got to obtain the good will of
the rest of the world. They will new
er get that, until they make frank
confession of the wrongs they have
committed, and set to work to atone
for them in good faith.
The German people will now be clear
of the tremendous burden of their
military and naval establishment,
which cost them an enormous sum. The
savings they make on this will be n
large item toward the work of repara-
ton. They are in position where
they can make their landed and COM
mercial aristocracy pay very heavy
taxes out of the enormous profits
made during the war. They can col
lect the bulk of their indemnity from
this source alone.
Food will be cheap there, and wages
higher than ever before. They can
support themselves after they have
imported few materials like cotton
and rubber which their lands fail to
produce.
If conditions of misery continue III
Germany after this seasons crops, it
will be because of the follies and evils
still existing in unrepentant German
nature, not because of harsh terms i'm
posed by the allies. The suffering
which they have brought upon the
world is unreasonable now let them
pay what they can to help alleviate a
little of it. If they show sincere re-
pentance and sorrow. they will find
that human nature is generous.-Mar-
shall Messenger.

RURAL ORGANIZATION

Up to the very recent time the farln
community has been in dlsorganlz-
ed condition. But for few years, the
tendency to form associations for the
benefit of the farmer and to improve
rural conditions, has enormously IN
creased.
In many progressive agricultural
counties, there are said to be as many
as hundred organizations all working
on some proposition of agricultural or
rural betterment If man attempted
to join all the hopeful societies that
promised to do something for him ne
would spend big share of his time
attending MEETINGS. Nevertheless, the
rural community is probably under
organized rather than over organized.
Not to speak of religious and educa-
tional organizations, there are several
other lines of associated effort IN
which wide awake people are general
ly interested. First, an organization
for all the principal specialties OF
farming so that each type of agrlcul-
tural industry can get together with
others working out the same problems,
exchange experiences, and secure help
ton for the promotion Of social life
in the farm community, and for the
improvement and business advance of
their trading center and town. Third,
organizations for more efficient mar
keting and buying of farm material,
and for cooperative efforts where sucn
are practicable. Fourth, organiza-
tions to protect the interest of the far
mer with respect to legislation and to
secure fair treatment of the farm
community by the rest of the country.
All this will take lot of time and
effort. Some men may be found talk
ing at clubs, when they should be at
home planting and cultivating. But it
takes organization to accomplish much
in modern life The power of the in
dividual is enormously increased when
he associates himself with others

Government is conducting in thirteen
of the northwest states. He said,
"People who removed barberry bushes

A large number of sprouts were

Curran "It leads a versatile life. The
