LAND OPENING
NEXT MONTH
NEBRASKA AND WYOMING ACRE.
AGE TO BE SETTLED.

Sioux City, Feb. ga total of
65, 500 acres of Nebraska and Wyom-
ing land will be opened next month
by the department of the interior for
settlement as claims, according to an
nouncements received by the Home
Service section of the Red Cross. For
mer service men will. be given pre-
ferred right of entry for period Of
not less than 60 days before the gen.
eral opening of the land to the pub
lie.
Inquiries concerning filing of
claims already have been received in
great numbers by the Home Service
office. Former service men through
out the country are taking advantage,
1t is said, of this opportunity to gain
possession of valuable land.
The Shoshone project in Park and
Big Horn counties, Wyoming, is COM
posed of two divisions. one of $4,000
acres and another of 1880. The
land is $500 feet above sea level and
is made up of low benches or broad
valleys surrounded by mountains.
Water for irrigation is obtained from
the Shoshone river. The farm units
range from 40 to 80 acres.
Seventy-nine farms are opened in
Nebraska in 5000 acres in the west
ern Platte country. Alfalfa and ce-
reals are the principal products. Oil
is said to exist in the Wyoming ter
ritory.

|CUT IN FOOD PRO-
DUCT|OV FORECAST
FARM LABOR SHORTAGE AND
WAGES HIGH THE CAUSE.

Washington, d. c., Feb. &c.
Warning that serious risk of reduced
food production impends because of
high wages demanded by farm labor
ers, high cost of farm equipment and
supplies and pronounced movements
of people from the farms to the cities,
was given by the department of agri-
culture on the basis of reports and
letters from all sections of the coun-
try.
The most definite of these reports
come from New York state,"- the de-
partment's announcement said,
where records of 3,775 representa-
tive farms on February 1 disclosed
that during the last year the number
of people on these farms decreased
nearly 3 per cent and the number Of
hired men decreased more than II
per cent. This is more rapid move
ment from the farms to other indus
tries than took place in the early
part of the war.
THE same condition in varying de-
grees exists in all sections, accord
ing to the federal bureau of crop
estimates. although they are not so
acute farther from industrial CEN
ters.
Another New York report, appli-
cable in some degree in every part of
the country, is that farm wages this
year will average IA per cent higher
than they were in 1919, although in
1919 they were 80 per cent higher
than they were at the beginning of
the war. Estimates from $50 farm
ers in all parts offNew York state in
dicate that experienced farm help,
hired by the month, will be paid this
year about $50 month and board,
as compared with $45.50 last year
Experienced married men, not board
ed but provided with a house and
farm products are expected to re-
ceive on the average about $6S.5O a
month in cash as compared with $50
last year.
Numerous letters to the depart
ment Of agriculture from it's field
workers or from farmers indicate a
widespread disposition to cut down
paintings so that the work of culti-
vating can be attended to by the
farmer himself or by members of his
family"

Many Lives
Are Wasted

Cleveland, o., Feb. 26.-Many lives
of hundreds of thousands of persons
are sacrificed annually, human pow
er immeasurably wasted and stag.
gering economic loss results from the
failure to apply scientific knowledge
to the prevention Of needless weak
ness, diseases and death. said DR..
Thomas d. Wood. professor of physi-
cal education at Columbia Univer-
sity. New York, addressing the Ma
tional Council of Education today.
The council is composed OF 120 OF
the leading educators of the country
attending the National Education as
sociation convention here.
"Our schools are wasting enor-
nous sums in trying to educate chill
dren handicapped by i'll health" DR..
Wood said. "Seventy-five per cent OF
.16,00O,000 school children of the
United States have physical defects
which are mostly remediable. This
showS that the business of keeping
the school children Of the country in
good physical condition is . disgrace
to the nation.
Josephine Corliss Preston, of OIym-
pia, Wash, president OF the National
Education association, said q sub
stantial salary increase was necessary
to secure trained and competent
teachers to fill the 5000 vacanciei
and replace $4,000 teachers below
professional standards in ability.

RAILWAY UNIONS
THREATEN BREAK
SOLUTION OF QUESTIONS BE.
FORE CONFERENCE is MADE
DIFFICULT.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Threats oi
a break in the affiliated railroad EN-.
ployes' organizations initiated toda;
against solution of the questions be.
fore the representatives of the 1000.
600 railworkers comforting here or
President Wilson's proposal for a set.
tlement of their wage demands.
Because of the wide divergence oi
views held by the committeeman
called to Washington to consider the
White House policy, executives of the
organizations admitted that they did
not know whether they could hold
the strength they had gained when
it was agreed 10 days ago that the
organizations should affiliate to con-
slider the proposal.
In every conference, it was said,
demands for an appeal to the presi-
dent to veto the railroad bill con-
tinued to grow more insistent. The
leaders. therefore, were confronted
with the task of explaining to the
local chairmen the basic reason for
their tentative delay.
The leaders also were forced to
combat moves of radical elements in
several directions. They said these
might take definite form at any time.
That the general committeeman are
not all in favor of the presidents s
proposition was indicated by private
discussions among the executives as
to courses Of action in the event the
plan is rejected.
e. ]. Manion, president of the Or
der OF Railroad Telegraphers. was
said to have suggested that the whole
controversy be referred to the general
membership. This proposal has not
gained headway among the other ex-
ecutives, it was said, but it serves to
indicate the trend of thought of the
leaders.

BUDGET SYSTEM
CONTINUED from pasc l

There are 1876 agencies that obtain
money from the State. The usual method
has been TO make an appropriation when
they asked for it--somctimes without
proper Investigation as to its worthinees.
With the proposed budget system, each
agency would have to submit its
appeal for funds to some pcrson-pcr-
hape the governor, or some authorized
State body--perhaps the State Board Of
Charities, for approval In this way, il
is believed much needless expenditure
Of money through duplication Of effort
would be saved.
One State official who had occasion to
visit small town in Sussex oounty-it
was scarcely more than village-this
week, found three other charitable rep
resentatives there that same say, on er-
rands of mercy, all of which it Was found
by the representatives comparing their
errands, that could have been looked
after by one man, or woman.
The question of State budget is the
latest important idea to be approved by
the Delaware State Bankers Association.
II is know that the bankers propose to
discuss such a system at their fall meeting
at Rehoboth, and data in connection
with the same is being assembled.
In connection with the budget system
hut yet entirely apart, is the question OF
the beginning of the fiscal year for Della
ware institutions. Some start in January,
and others begin in most every month
of the continuing months of the twelve.
This is very confusing and perplexing,
when these agencies ask for an appropria-
tion, and to conduct and provide the
appropriations honestly and without
waste would require n large number OF
expert accountants. All could be avoided
and time and money and embarrassment
saved through having the Legislature
establish fixed date for the beginning
of the fiscal year of every agency that
receives State aid. This item of business
will likely be the subject of special act
TO be presented before the Legislature.

July 17.--New York; outer harbor put on
its best holiday suit Of sunshine and fav

yacht race.
Across the vast stage already set with
sharp drawn lines dividing land and sky,
oificious little craft lodged in and out

spectacle.

miniature in the scene although cast as
a principal in the play, rose the center Of
the grczt fanshapcd stage.
To the north in the front tier lay Coney

Long Island stretched it's tenuous fingers

coast Of New Jersey was already being
dotted with trains, motor ca>> and groups
of spectators who sought the choicest

WOMEN FOR FARMS.
Extension Bureau Head Says Lack Of
Convenicrces Works Hardship.

Miss Florence T.. Ward, Of the womans s
extension bureau of the Department Of
agriculture, says that the waste Of woman
power through lack Of modern conven-
fences on the farm is menace TO the farm
home life and thus is limiting factor in
food production. Miss Ward also traced
the influx of women and young people
into the city TO lack Of attractivcness
in their home and lack Of amusement
She quoted from a re ,ent farm home
survey made by her department in 33
Northern and Western States This sur
vey shows that the average working day
of the farm woman is II 3 hours most OF
the year and l3 IL in the summer months.
Fifty-two per cent Of the farm women must
carry their own water some times for some
distance; 70 per cent have TO fill and trim
kerosene lamps in lieu of other lighting
facilities; o6 per cent do the family wash
ing, only one-half of thes, having washing
machines, and 92 per cent do part or all
Of the family sewing.
These are singular facts, said Miss
Ward, when you realize that As per cent
Of the farms in the survey have power for
operating ia m machinery and that
would be a simple matter 20 connect an
engine in the barn 10 washing machines
or other labor savers in the home"
Mrs Howard L. Hodgkins, president
Of the District Of Columbia Federation Of
Womans Clubs. said last night that the
federation is doing all il can to encourage
movements TO make rural life more at
tractive to women. II think the commun-
ity centers. clubs, moving pictures and
circulating Libraries help a very great deal
The work undertaken since the armistice
by the National Library Association to
turn the tide e the books they formerly
sent to to the use Of the people
in gencr ,clally these in rural dis
tricts, sl !. help solve this problem
Many Of these books are sent by parce
pest SO no district is too remote for then
to reach"
