Elwood Mead. New York: The
Macmillan Company.
The purpose of this book is to help
in the solution of the land problems
that the future is bound to present
The chief problem rises out of the
short-sig GIFTED and even vicious LAND
policy of the past. However. the
author does not waste effort here in
dwelling on past wrongs. Rather does
he give, in concrete demonstration of
the new constructive policy, de-
tailed account of the California ex-
pertinent in state aid for settlement
of the land. The book in substance, is
:. description OF the California settle
ment Of Durham. which iIlust rates
what the state is doing to help the
farmer to the possession and progress
sive handling Of small farms The
work at Durham is patterned, in its
essentials. upon a similar movement in
Australia with which Prof. Mead had
much to do. This Australian move
ment also is described here. The book
stands as definite program for the
achievement Of the project which it
presents. This is a progressive and
scientific program that is saturate ed
throughout with the civic values Of
citizenship that it promises with the
economic and cultural advances that
IL sets forth. Practical at every point.
interesting on every page and fired
with the best sort of idealism.

Canadian Veterans Combine to Clear
 Farms in Forest

VANCOUVER, B. C., March 23. - 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 14,000 acres or 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 $4 and supplied them with dy- namite and tools.
 Only one in four of the men wno en- rolled in the scheme has quit. A store has been established on the land and the veterans declare they will continue their venture until all have obtained farms.

SAN DIEGO TO :, GIVE GORGEOUS
 SPRING PAGEANT
Coronado and Beautiful Bay To Be Scene of Unique
 Spectacle

SAN DIEGO, Calif, March 23.-An- nouncement here today of completed arrangements for the greatest land and water pageant ever staged in Southern California, Is the opening gun of San Diego's summer season
 May l Is the date selected for the big event and at the same time Tent City on the Coronado Beach, with ac- commOdations for more than five thou sand guests, will open it's season.
 Sal Diego as a summer resort is more than ever a point of interest to citizens of Bisbee because O. the o.-n- ing Of the new San Diego and Arizona railroad, which, with the Southern Pa cific and Rock island, constitutes a new transcontinental route to the east and gives direct access to the city's miles of beaches, it's bay and ocean for many thousand residents of Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and | Texas. An extensive advertising cam l paign will be carried on by the San l of one thousand representative citi- | Zens, inviting to the city as summer guests the residents of this magnifi- cent southwestern empire, with the as- surance of lively time. The opening carnival will be followed by many events through the season, with after noon and evening band concerts begin ming June 1, and other musical enter
 tainment continuously through the
 month of May. Much attention will be AIven to boating and especially canoe ing, and the brilliant night illumina-
 tions of the bay front will be augment ed this year.
 Coronado peninsula and the beauti- ful bay at San Diego form a natural
 playground unrivaled on the Pacific coast. In addition the days and nights
 at San Diego are cool, which is an ad-
 vantage that will be especially appre- ciated by great many people who find summer heat depressing to them selves or to their families. A recent announcement of the weather bureau gives the average maximum tempera- ture on the week of July at T de grees and the minimum 61 degrees and statistics extending over a period i of more than sixty years indicate that this is about average summer weather at San Diego.
 Another remarkable thing about this place is that the summer resident mas an unDaralleled oDDOrtunity for Iiyinor i just where and how he likes.

ParanOiac Ford
 Goes on Rampage

A Ford automobile belonging to Pete Litich, apparently struck d brain storm yesterday as it was standing on the road in front of the house on the hill in Johnson Addition, left the road of its own accord, tore down the steep hillside and crashed into the pantry in the rear of Henry Gaetjens house. Chinaware, pots, kettles and eatables were strewn in all directions. me pantry was wrecked.
 Neighbors say that a puff of wind started the Ford on the rampage but Litich says that he tried to crank it while it was in gear, The problem of getting the Ford back up the hill seemed insurmountable but six miners came along, picked the car up and carried it back onto the road. The car was undamaged and Litich tied it to his gatepost.
 The Gaetjens were married but re- gently and some of their wedding pres ents were destroyed by the attack of the Ford.

BRING SUIT TO REDUCE TARIFF
 ON STATE LINE
Phoenix Commerce Chamber Files Complaint Against
 Three Railroads
May Live After
 Nine Story Fall

PHOENIX, March 23.-Claiming that the freight tariffs from Phoenix and other points in the Salt River valley located on the Arizona Eastern rail road 10 stations in Arizona are unjust and unreasonable, the traffic bureau or the Phoenix chamber of commerce to- day filed a complaint with the Arizona corporation commission against the Arizona Eastern, Southern Pacific, Fl PasO and Southwestern railroads, set ting forth that "all class rates special ly named or referred to in the Pacific freight tariff, joint freight tariff S5A, on the above lines ana Cochise ana Globe divisions of the Ariona Eastern are in violation Of section one or rhe act to regulate commerce and unduly prejudice rates in violation of section three thereof"
 Unofficially members of the com. mission said today this was the out. growth of the practice of considering the. Ariona Eastern and Southern Pa cific as a twO-line haul for intrastate business.
 IL was pointed out that the ,nr-r- state commerce commission in the Pa cific Creamery company case, stated in view of the alleged fact that prac' tically all of the stock of the Ariona Eastern was owned by the Southern Pacific, the controlling line, these lines should not be treated as two lines, even for distances under 500 miles.
 Subsequent to the decision, in predi- eating interstate rates these lines have been considered as one-line haul, but for intrastate business they are con sidered a two-line haul, commission officials said

Financier Warns Bankers To Keep Down Expansion
 Of Credits

BALTIMORE, Md, March 23.-A note of warning about the danger of an over expansion of credit was sounded by Francis H. Sisson, vice president of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, at the annual dinner of the Baltimore chap ter of the American institute of banking.
 At the same time Mir Sissons cau- toned against too suddenly putting on the brakes as being likely to bring about a period of depression.
 Mir. Sisson and United States Sen. ator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma were the speakers. Senator compli. mented the bankers of the country upon the value of their constructive work in counseling and financing ip dustries of every character, and re marked that America is in great need at this time of stimulating produc tion and distribution, as a means of reducing the high cost of living
 MT. Sisson said: There is an un precedented demand for money. But there is only limited supply of cred it and that must be used wisely to create new wealth by promoting pro ductivity. It cannot be wasted ir speculative, unproductive or economi cally unnecessary ventures.
 Ut will be eminently to the ulti mate good of the business interests to cooperate with the bankers ir maintaining that standard. But un less they do so, they must be prepar ed to face great credit expansion still higher prices and a crisis which may precipitate an unfortunate reac tion."

evening to hear DR.. Adams, the evan
gelist preach. The sermon was on
sin and was delivered in very force
full way The evangelist pointed out
that sin is the only thing that divorces
man from his God. He compared the
love of man for God to the love of hus-
band and wife or sweethearts. He
stated that sweethearts wanted TO be
in each others company and feasted
on love letters and made the applica-
tion that If a man is really in love
with God he will yearn to be in His
house and feast on His love letters in
the Bible.
The revival will be concluded this
week and DR.. Adams will assist in Q
revival at the First M. e. Church
