FARMERS FOR PERU.

A group of American farmers, COM
prising the advance guard of coloni-
cation scheme said to involve more
than 200 families from the western
United States, arrived at Lima, Peru,
recently, en- ruote to the Pampa del
Sacramento valley along the eastern
headwaters of the Amazon river, in
northern Peru, where the colony is to
be established.
The party Is in charge of J. B.
Schoenfelt, of Okmulgee. Okla, for
merly United States Indian agent for
Oklahoma territory, who, obtained, for
colonization purposes, a grant of $780,
900 acres of agricultural and forestry
lands from the Peruvian government
last October.
After the preliminary location of the
lands In the concession is completed
it Is planned to bring the remaining
colonists. numbering about 500. to the
settlement via Para, Brazil. and the
Amazon and Ucavali rivers. The for
Atlantic ocean to Iquitos, Peru, about
1000 miles.
In an interview published in the
west coast Leader, Mg. Schoentelt
said that, owing to drouth and crop
failure. a number of farmers in the
central west had expressed their desire
to seek more fertile and profitable
fields.
II decided to look over South Amer
lea he said. since most of the Amer
lean governments desirable vacant
lands that could be obtained at a low
price have been allotted to foreign
migrants. The colonists, who are
chiefly from the west, are farmers of
some means, and they can secure their
farms at a cost of few cents per fee
simple to their lands, as soon as 200
families have been settled on the con-
cession."
About half OF the tract, according to
Mr.. Schoenfelt, consists of grassy
plains. rolling hill land and valley. The
remainder has forests. The land Is said
to be suitable for producing all kinds
of agricultural products, especially SUI
gar, cocoa, cotton, jute, indigo and to-
bacco. The farms will be divided into
tracts of from 500 to 5000 acres, with
an average of about 1000 acres for
each family.

HOW IT'S DONE.


He sought for recognition, he was
hungry for renown.
He wanted folks to know him as he
walked about the town.
He wanted folks to point him out and
whisper "Thsre he goes.
The man who's doing wonders and
whom everybody knows"
At every public meeting he was sure
to take the floor,
But all the people whispered was,
Good heavens what a borei.
lie sought for recognition and his
voice was never still.
But the people only snickered. and !
think they always will
He dressed In swagger clothing and
he lined up with the freaks,
He wanted men to whisper: Nov tho
voice OF wisdom speaks."
But the people only chuckled when he
shouted, "Fellowmen."
And all they ever whispered was: "Oh
Gee, that pest again!"
Now a quiet little fellow who had not
a word to say
But kept plugging at his labors thru
the busy hours OF day,
Woke TO fame one sunny morning.

To conErafvlate and cheer him for
the splendid work he'd done.

DON'T SUBSTITUTE MEN FOR
AVIS

The American people should squelch
the insidious tendency of substituting
men for laws. President Harding. I'M
der the tariff bill. asked for stupendous
power to raise or lower tariff sched-
ules as he might see fit. Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon asked congress to
give him an entirely free hand in hand
ling everything connected with the
$10,000,000.000 owed US by foreign
countries. American importers, under
the tariff bill, as drafted, were to be
placed at the mercy of appraisers in
this country, who were to decide mar
ket value Of certain classes of import
ed goods. thus preventing the Ameri-
can buyer from being able to know
what the goods would actually cost
him. The method Of enforcing prohi-
bition appears to be left to the iudg-
ment of each individual revenue off,
cial, with the result that certain prac-
tees are held legitimate in one district
and Legitimate in another district.
The United States should be gov
erned by clearly defined laws. The del
egation Of unfettered powers to indi-
viduals, no matter how exalted, must
be guarded against. The citizen should
know what his rights are under the
law. and should not be subjected to
the caprice of any individual outside
the regular courts of justice. 1t is bad
enough to have the country overrun
with commissions" of more varieties
than there were colors in Joseph's
coat. To delegate untrammeled power
to any one individual is not in accor-
dance with the American system Of
government. and certainly not in ac-
cord with the desires of our citizens.

as L returned to my seat. Thought you

"Her voice sounded broken, as if she
had been weeping, and she seemed
very much hurried. She wants to see
me as early in the morning as can get

pened about which she wants to talk
to me-"
Dicky gave a long, low whistle.

ly, and fell to staring into the fire.
I was filled with bewilderment. What

knowledge? But made no attempt
to question him. would not force his
confidence.
After a long pause he raised his head
and looked at me fixedly.

your rampant Puritanism run away

and then there was long silence. Ev-

and 1 was too busy with my forebod

I shrank little from meeting Katie
as | went toward the kitchen. The girl
had seemed so unlike herself for weeks
past. so morbidly moody, and SO prone
to gusts of weeping that I disliked see
ing her. Conscientiously / had tried to
find out what so sorely troubled her
but she had Historically repulsed me at
each attempt, and l had finally re-
solved to let her alone until she should
come to me with her trouble of her
own accord.
But my resolution vanished as en-
tered the Kitchen and saw the faithful
girl who had done so much for me
crouching by the side of her chair, sob
bing violently. Jim, her husband, was
to be seen
went swiftly to her side, took her
hands. and raised her to her feet.

You will make yourself i'll If you go
