The action hy our organization in initat, ing this form of assistance to worth! homeseekers was in direct anSW to the pressing demands recently eN- pressed by the public press of the southern states, the Texas Depart ment of Agriculture, Texas A X NJ College. the Texas Chamber of Com merce, and especially the crying de mand for farm home ownership to be made possible by the subdivision of large tracts into small family farms, such as we will offer.

OUR GREATEST zoo
By T. T. MAXEY

NANCY a beautiful 264-acre park \ with lakes and waterfall. People it with about 3,400 animals, represent ing 9S0 different families. Set 1t down eleven miles north of New York citys city hall and-presto, you have geological park which eutstrips all similar institutions.
 The occupants of this animal world range in size from four-ton elephant down to a pigmy field mouse weigh ing probably less than an ounce. The oldest inmate, giant tortoise, tits the beam at 225 pounds and is be- lieved to be POO years old. Give me a word with the stork and I'll tell you the age of the youngest member and to which family it belongs.
 A giant anteater is probably the most peculiar animal and the 22-foot- long regal python, weighing TO pounds, the most unwelcome from the public's standpoint. The bears make strong play for popular approval, but the apes are past grand masters in attracting attention to their monk ey shines" The woodchuck seems always to be lin the dumps" while the jolly little prairie dogs appear to be happy always. The sloth is the SloWest-moying animal, while "Baldy" !, the big chimpanzee, leads when it comes to quickness of intellect and ability to receive training.
 The most discordant chorus greets one in the large bird house. where the commingled shrleks and squawks vary from that of the macaw which can be heard a mile to the lower utteranees of the less noisy fowls-but. for a mixture of queer sounds, just step into the insect house.

Purpose of Commission

The broad resolution passed by the Chamber of Commerce sets out plah- ly three-fold purpose for the land Settlement Commission
 First: "The owners of large tracts of idle land in this vicinity and the owners of improved lands that may be now indifferently farmed by tep- ants. are to be induced to subdivide the land into small farms according to their best use, and shall also en- trust the Commission with the classi- fcation of farms and the making q land offerings shall include farms adapted to diversified farming, truck farming, gardening, stock raising. ci- chards. and combination of these uses"
 Second "The land Settlement Com mission is to cause offerings to made only to actual settlers and aid these settlers in making proper locatlohs' The general public of all states Will be advised of the dates when offerings arc to be made. Those interested Ill securing lands, family farms will make application to Land Settlement Commission, setting forth their de sire and in return this Commission will assist in making suitable select ions, improvements where necessary and financing
 Third: Under the system outlin' ed. this Commission will negotiate that the settlers will have the ald oi il Superintendent and counsel of those who have made success i'll similar work in Marion County This ehor' shall he to point the way as proven hy experience, and to help the new conner quickly to success.

BETTER WATER SERVICE

Pine Bluff. Sept 12.-EXtensions of the Pine Bluff Company's water sys- tenn to provide water service for near ly 100 blocks in the southwestern and western sections of the city will be started as soon as material, which has been ordered, is received.
 This announcement was made this morning by !. l.. Longio manager of the Pine Bluff Company Mir. Long inc said the extensions have been un- der consideration for several weeks, but because of the "tightness" of the money market and other reasons the plans for the work could not be ap- proved until now City officials have worked with the Pine Bluff Company officials in selecting the routes of the mains and placing the 13 fire hydrants.
 The two extensions will entail an additional investment of approximate ly 013,0O0, it was said, and the money

FAVOR LAND SETTLEMENT
lRy F. k. Senor.)

Jefferson. Texas, August 26-At meeting of the board of directors ot the local Chamber of Commerce here, the group has organized an extensive and most unique plan for solving the problem confronting the South is the lack of home ownership among farm OTIS" As medium for the work in offering attractive farms to home seekers. on q most favorable proposi- tion, this organization has perfected the land Settlement Commission or the Chamber of Commerce, which Will serve exclusively as community ln- terest organization.
 This basis of the new Commission is to secure the subdivision of large idle tracts into small family farms, allotted to desirable settlers at cur rent low prices without infaion, and on long time of payments with low interest rates
 The entire work of this new ven ture is unique in Texas, and 1t is easily contemplated that the type of enterprise will rapidly spread by ad- option throughout the South, where at present large tracts of land are held in idleness or farmed by indiff- erent tenants This is the first time for such Commission to be created in hte southern states, and in truth it is but the adopion of the govern ment system of opening new territory for farm owner settlers such as was done in California by the state lcgis- lative commission.

Land All0tments to be Made

To best maintain satisfied communi- ties in sections settled by the Com mission, it is planned that all inquiries may make application direct to the Commission and after investigations, land allotments will be made to de- sirable applicants. This will estab- fish small colonies of truck grower, sstockmen. dairymen, and other groups accordingly. The exact date for the allotments of the family farms has not yet been fixed
 seeker for East Texas land as rapidly
 In order to accommodate the home as possible, already many extensive facilities are being established in Jefferson
 X special floor of the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce building has been equipped with offices and a force of clerks and under-secretaries of the Commission are busy on the prelimi- narics. The campaign of announce ment is being extended to practically every state of the union. One eXten- sive demonstration tract is being rapidly improved and several others are planned A forty-siX room new Lrck hotel here in process of building is being rushed to completion to care for the crowded conditions at dates of opening the allotments. One hun died and fifty teams, trucks, tractors and graders will be put to work with around two hundred men next week on the main thoroughfares. By the opening dates of allotments, the 1921 Marion County Fair will be in pro- gross, exhibiting the array of agricul- tural and live stock products of this county.
 In reality every force in this coun- ty is cooperating to best allow the desirable farm owners to acquire a small farm especially adapted to his particular wants in spite of the pres l ing held in idleness by one owner.
 The whole system just now launch ed at Jefferson does not come with out careful planning; but is rather the result of several months of care l full planning and investigations of problems and their solutions, The action of condemning large idle hold ings and commanding that such in Marion County be subdivided and offered in forty acre and eight acre family farms;' is certain to draw i into Eastern Texas a grand influx of progressive farmers. Similar projects have developed California and have reclaimed swamps and arid lands tC the extent of hundreds of thousands 0 facres and it is firmly believed that East Texas and especially Marion County with natural rainfall, pro ductive soil, mild climate and uneX celled transportation facilities will succeed
 The details of all the workings of this land Settlement Commission al Jefferson will command the interest of Texas people and those of the south for several months in careful watch ing of the progress and results ob i tamed
