DRAW LOTS FOR FARMS
(Rv AsSociated PresS)

VANCOUVER, B. c., March 26.-
About 300 Canadian war veterans who
founded and populated community
farming settlement at Merville have
cleared enough land to lay out ten
farms Of 40 acres each, and soon will
draw lots for the farms so that the
owners can start the spring planting.
When the veterans returned from
England they induced the British Co.
lumbia Provincial government to buy
for them IA 900 acres of wild land on
the hills overlooking the Courtenay
valley, fertile section of Vancouver
island. Douglas pine trees were thick
on the land and since the men went
on it they have been busy clearing
away the big timber and underbrush.
For this the government paid them a
daily wage of s.$4 and supplied them
with dynamite and tools.
Only one in four of the men who
enrolled in the scheme has quit. A
community store has been established
on the land and the veterans declare
they will continue their venture until
all have obtained farms.

PARIS, March .26.-Food merchants
here are stirring up an agitation for
the abolition of the municipal booths
scattered all over the city for the sale
to the public of food and wine at less
than current retail prices in private
stores. Those opposed to these So
called Vilgrain booths, or wooden huts,
contend that the city is selling in them
groceries. potatoes, wine and other
supplies at prices so low as to injure
commercial interests.
On the other hand M. Fiancette
municipal councillor within whose de-
partment these organizations lie, is
strongly in favor of continuing them
and intends to ask the council to de-
velop them and other municipal estab-
lishments. For this purpose, it is
proposed to contract with Canada fol
loan of 150,000.000 francs to pur.
chase Canadian foodstuffs for pro

Underwood's Majority h State Will Be 10000

State Chairman Tells How Alabama Voters Will Rebuke "Boodleism," Which Has "Never Before So Bra
 zeny Haunted Itself' in the State

est deception of the people. Never be- fore in Alabama has boodleism so brazenly Haunted itself in the face of the electorate.
 After carefully summarizing the situation in each of the sixty-se counties of the state. I make bold the assertion that Senator Underwoods majority will be so distinct and over whelming as to forever blot out in Alabama such forms of campaigns as have been adopted by MT. Musgrove and his advisers
 MAJORITY OF 10000
 We confidently expect that a ma jority over both opponents of 10000 votes will be the seal of condemnation which the democrats of the state will place upon such methods. Senator Underwood, as the chosen leader of the democrats of the Senate. stands for and embodies the principles and purposes of the party and the demo- erats of Alabama will show their loyal ty to the democracy of the nation by maintaining him at the helm and will not on the eve of presidential election strike a blow at democratic success by displacing him with a man who possesses none of the qualifica- tions required of a United States sena- tor.
 During the next session of Congress, should the republicans maintain thelr majority in the Senate, general revision of the tariff will, no doubt, be under taken and it would seem almost provi- dential that the man who wrote the Underwood tariff bill should be at the helm in the Senate to resist with all his Knowledge and experience any readjust- ments of the tariff that would place a hardship upon the business men ana farmers of Alabama.
 Despite the desperate efforts Of po- litical prohibitionists both in Alabama and the outsiders who have invaded our state, a great majority of true friends oi temperance and prohibition have agreed that prohibition is not an issue in this campaign, and thousands of them are supporting Alabama's senior senator who has his eyes turned to the future, ana who has grappled with the greatest issue now confronting the people.
 GOMPERS' EFFORTS
 Samuel Gompers, claiming to repre- sent organized labor, has issued the de- gree that Underwood must be defeated for the United States Senate because ne would not bow the knee to extreme radi- cai labor leaders who seek to dom1nate this government. I have yet to be con- vinced that the rational and conserVa- tive element of labor will reject a man who has so consistently served organized
