training under the federal board, and taking agricultural courses, will be se- lected by the board to take placement training on one of these tracts. The man will still be under the direction of the board, but as he works and pro- duces crops he will be paying for the land through the profits. He will also be receiving instruction while produc- ing and will be working under the advice of doctors. The work on the tracts will be divided into ''manhours," each man doing an amount of work advised by the doctors.
 At the end of a prescribed period, the land will be divided up into units. and each man will work an interest Tn his own unit until he has paid into the corporation the appraised value of his own unit. It will then be his. The land will be appraised by a committee of real estate men, the chamber of commerce and such other men as may be designated by the federal board. The McDevitt company is a non- prof it corporation, giving the assurance to the men that the project is not a money making scheme of big business men.
 T. W. McDevitt is the president of the Pacific Coast Cotton exchange, which reaches into Arizona. He has over 4,00O acres of land in the Impe- rial valley and 32O acres in the Salt River valley. These lands are all in a state of cultivation and it is the intention of the federal board to place some of their trainees on this land as soon as possible.
 The 320 acres in the Salt River val | ley is known as the Edna ranch, locat- ed about three miles from Phoneix 1 It is likely that a number of the RUv- ernment vocational students at the | University of Arizona will be selected to operate this tract. At the meeting yesterday, several of the men express | ed the desire to be placed on this tract. Other men said they would lik' to work in the Imperial valley, havin; homes in California.
 Although originating in this distric of the federal board, it is expecte, that the Washington office will co operate in the plan, develop it int

 GVER TODAY ID DISABLED MEN
Ex-Service Men To Be Placed On First Land vnit In Valley Under tGovernment Plan

Putting into effect the plan outlined by the federal board of vocational ed- ucation turning over 100000 acres of Iand to disabled ex-service men. the ilrst unit to be established in the Unit ga States will be organized today with the arrival of twelve men government vocational students of the University of Arizona.
 This announcement was made yes terday by Fred Rowlen. supervisor of the Phoenix office of the federal board, who said that the first land taken over in this valley would be tho Edna ranch, three and one-half miles from Fhoenix on the Yuma road. The ex- tensive program of training begun at the university. he said. would be de- veioped as the men worked on the tracts of land.
 The program was outlined at a con- ference recently held in Tucson be- tween officers from the central office at Washington and the San Francisco and Los Angeles offices, including Dr. W. J. Quick, agricultural advisor of the federal board, and Charles B. El- hott and IL. w. Bartlett. who repre- sented the district including Arizona.
 Mir. Rowlen received the following report from Tucson of the conference
 The project, as outlined by the of- ftcers. will mean the turning over of 100000 acres of land now in state of cultivation to disabled ex-service men of the federal board. For the purpose of securing this opportunity for its trainees and through the interest in this work manifested by T. w. Me- Dewitt, prominent land owner of Cal ifornia and Arizona, the federal board has entered into a contractural agree ment with the McDevitt corporation whereby vast tracts of land now own tNcd by the corporation will be worked ~ 7 federal board men under the direc- tion of the federal board.

OUTLINES TRAINING WORK FUR OFFICERS
 IF NATIONAL GUARD

Declaring that rusty officers destroy the efficiency of the command and deaden enthusiasm, Col. John J. Boni face, senior inspector instructor of the national guard of Arizona, California and New Mexico. in instructions issued yesterday to the adjutant general stated that it was fundamentally es- sential that, from the adjutant general down, all officers be physically. men tally, morally and professionally quail fled to instruct enlisted men.
 Enthusiasm, self-confidence. prior preparation for the nights work, fresh appearance, soldierly carriage. digni- fled language, foreeful command-these are essential" points out the colonel.
 The infantry training called for by Colonel Boniface is based on one night week armory drill. with field train | ing camp during the summer months.
 ''The entire program has for it's pur- pose the logical, progressive and basic instruction of the national guard to fit 1 it for actice service, and the years ar mory training must be so carried out as to eliminate in the 15 days field train ing camp, thus completing the years training by daily employment on the military duties for which troops are maintained" said Colonel Boniface.
 ''National guard units are expected, by thorough armory courses and pro- grams, to go to the field training camps | prepared for the work to be done
 therein'
 His instructions to Adjutant General
 Ingalls, follow:
 "It is fundamentally essential that Ian officers, from the adjutant general
 of a state down to the junior second |, lieutenant be physically. mentally,
 morally and professionally qualified to
 instruct the enlisted men. Rusty of , ficers destroy the efficiency of com . mand and deaden enthusiasm. Every
 assembly of troops should find the off cers, who are there to impart instruc- l tion, carefully prepared on whatever : they are to touch that night.
 ) The same necessity exists for al on-commissioned officers to be pre- : pared upon their own work and quail 2 fled to act as assistant instructors r under their officers. Silent, unpre : pared non- n-commissioned officer e deaden a command and become th' E. butt for jokes on the part of the en t listed men under instruction.

crowder, Cuba and conseription
 Things are going from Angostura bitters to worse in Cuba, the winter pair-a-d dice. Now Washington has sent General Enoch Crowdcr there to look into the situation, and it is very clearly intimated that unless Cuba raises a sufficient force of qualified bartenders Co meet the demand the general will arrange a draft by which all Cubans between the ages of 27 and 42 will be liable to a call into the (bar) service.
 With an unprecedented army of winter vacationists sweeping down upon the island from all sides. des- perate with thirst and determined to fight it out along that line if it takes all winter. Cuba, it is understood has fallen down utterly in the matter of preparedness.
 Many of the first line bars are very thinly held against overwhelming odds.
 A few trained men from the A. B. F. (American Bartenders' Force), doing duty with the Cuban forces as officia. observers, have been giving some val uable instruction. but the natives seem better in front of bar than behind it.
 All the places are short of good mix CTS, and in some cafes one barboy is tc be seen holding out bravely but hope lessly against odds of 100 to 1, without relief or an assistant to wash the glasses and keep the cracked ice around the beer pipes.
 Under such conditions when the mixed drink demand is at a height there is intense suffering not only on the part of the barboy but the custom CTS.
 President Menocal has issued numer- ous appeals to the natives for volun- teers but in vain.---American visitors have flooded Washington with com plaints of the poor service, and the rushing of General Crowder to Cuba was the natural result.
 
 The draft will be carried out along the lines followed in America. Al the Cubans within the age limits will be numbered, thus bringing about a situation where all persons under

 When first presented to them, the men at the university felt that the plan was "too good to be true" and that if was a money making scheme of some promoter behind the scenes. Aft CT a discussion which lasted until latN last night, the man were convinced, however, that MT. McDevitt had their interest at heart and that the plan presented unusual opportunities. It was explained to the men that they would not be expected to enter upon the work until every detail of the pro- visions had been made clear to them.
 Notification of the first group to be selected from the University here will likely be made within the next two weeks. All of this group will be sent to the Edna ranch.
