TELLS ABOUT TRIP
Land Hunger of ex-Service
Men Under Considera-
ton by Secretary.
(By Universal service.)

An appropriation of s12,O00,0OO
would suffice to reclaim 10000
acres Of land, claims John Barton
Payne, Secretary of the Interior.
He claims a few thousand acres
will be reclaimed in the Shoshone
Valley of Wyoming within two
months.
Tells of Land Hunger.
There never was a time in our
history" said the Secretary, when
the hunger for land was, greater
than ii is at present.
In the early part OF this year
we had proof of this demand when
we announced that there would be
land opening on the North Platte
project containing eighty farm
units. As soon as this order was
made public, thousands of letters,
kilograms and telephone inquiries
nearly swamped the offices. After
the opening was advertised.
change was made giving preference
rights to soldiers, and so the num-
Der of complications increased until
we had to resort to the system of
drawing in order to be fair to the
crowds that waited in line for three
weeks, many of them sleeping
where they stood.
There were 3,2sS applications re-
ceived by mail and in all 10000 let
tsrs of inquiry received and an
swered. There were over 1000 men
who came to Wyoming, former
warned by the Interior Department
that the chances of one man in
forty having the luck to draw a
homestead tract would suggest a
risk.
Big Rush Described.
Many of these former service men
came without any papers showing
their service record. Many of them
had no money nor capital and with
but a hazy impression of what a
benefcent government was going to
do for them in the way of giving
them homesteads.
The second highest dam in the
United States has been built here
and the stupendous enterprise is
seen when you look upon the canon
between the Rocky Mountains
whose sides are 32S feet high and
whose base is 500 feet wide. They
have made the dam of both branches
of the Shoshone River and the water
above is six miles wide and extends
a distance Of ten miles. This body
Of water will irrigate 226,OoO acres
Of land.
Land Available.
SiXty-six thousand acres are now
available if Congress will provide
money enough to build canals to the
various lands In round numbers,
226,0OO acres is the quantity which
the dam will provide water for. By
furnishing s12,OOO,OO more, 16O, 900
acres could be opened in small
farms, say from fifteen to twenty
five acres. The land is so fertile
that farm OF fifteen acres seems to
satisfy them. In Yakima, Washing
ton, they raise from 500 to 900
bushels of potatoes on an acre of
this ground.

LONG DISTANCE BOOK
SOON TO BE ISSUED

Subscribers of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company in
Washington are due to receive
booklets soon explaining to them
the two different kinds of long
distance. telephone calls.
There are two kinds, although
most people do not know it, and
one. the "station-to-station CALL" is
about One-fourth cheaper than the
other. The kind Of long distance
"person-tO-person call"
This kind of call is when long
distance is asked for some par
ticular person in another town. The
station to- station call consists In
calling for residence or office
phone in another town without
specifying that there is any par
ticular person you wish to speak to.

UNABLE TO IDENTIFY MUMMY
London Officials In Something OF
ouandary az to Disposition OF
"old Jimmy"

One Of London's problems at the
present hour is what to do with a
mummy that lies at the back Of the
Mansion house in one Of the Oldest
churches Of that ancient city. No one
knows where it came from, and the
jocular element around the Mansion
house describe it as "Old Jimmy-a
former lord mayor Of London" The
rector is in a quandary over its dis
posal. The figure is perfectly pre-
served; eyes, hair, nose, teeth, nails
and ribs.
Inside the door Of the mummy's box
is a glass lid, which was removed a
few days ago for the first time for
many years. The mummy was covered
with cobwebs, but was still In good
condition. 1T feels like leather" said
an onlooker as he touched "Old jim
my's" elastic ribs. The rector invites
suggestions from the public as to what
to do with the mummy. The mystery
as to it's identity arises from the fact
that during the great London fire in
1865 it was hurriedly removed from
another church and placed where it
now lies, so as to escape the ravages
Of the confagration.

CAN'T PROVE TAX

7. L. Sagaser Of Temple Saves
$11O.50 Under F arm.
er Rule.

The I. V. AS will have hard time
convincing T. L. Sagaser of Temple,
N. D., that they are sincere when they
howl about increased taxes. Of course
Mr.. Sagaser is League booster and
they would hardly dare tackle him, but
Sagaser has the tax issue so much at
heart that he is more than willing to
60 to bat with the Ivas. Instead OF
being impoverished by state taxes as
a result of the farmer administration
Mr.. Sagaser is $110.5O to the good and
he's willing to tell the world about it.
Here is the tax statement Of Mr..
Sagaser. He had 335 acres in crop
in 1919. He paid $93.75 for insurance
against hail on this land. AS he owns
400 acres he paid SIP to the fund for
maintaining the department. The total
premiums for hail insurance amounted
to $95.75. If Mr.. Sagaser had insured
his 335 acres In 1918 with an old line
company as he did in 1918 at 20 cents
per acre he would have had to pay
$234.50.
His land tax in 1918 was SOL. That
makes his 81. V. A. total" as he puts
it. s935.5O. In 1919 he paid $15O25
land tax. This with his hail insurance
brings his "Nonpartisan tax to $246.
In other words he is 5000 to the
good. Then as a result of the law
allowing an exemption on personal
property on the farm, MIR. Sagaser
saves $21 more. In short he is really
s11O.5O. to the good as a result of the
Nonpartisan administration. Do you
wonder that he is League booster?
