HOW LEGION MEN GET LAND

IN response 10 many inquiries from
ex-service raen in the Middle West re-
garding government land grants. Irwin
i. Femrlte. secretary OF Argonne post
OF the American Legion IN Des Moines.
Ia. has made on investigation Of the
situation.
persons desiring 10 make homestead
entries" said Mr.. Femrite. should
first fully inform themselves as TO the
character and quality OF lands they
desire TO enter and should in no case
apply TO enter until they have ex-
amined each legal subdivision for
which they make application. Salts
factory Information concerning the
lands may be obtained from a personal
visit 10 the district in which one
wishes TO take out land.
Zach applicant is required TO swear
that he is well acquainted with the
character OF the land described In
his application and the only way that
he can assure himself that prior
settlers have no claim is TO make a
personal inspection OF same.
"An ex-service man is required 10

given for service I'm the Army, Navy

has had eighteen months OF service. II
such is the case. the applicant is re-
quired TO live on the land only seven
months. II he obtains so much credit

must prove only such amount or

cants must prove that there is a

There is only one portion OF the
country where land may be obtained
without. the requirement of a home
stead. AT Sentinel. Ariz. there are
10000 acres open. for which no home
stead is required. but which necessi-
tates the payment Of seventy-fve
dollars for three hundred and twenty
acres and an expenditure of one
dollar per acre for improvement. This
Is arid land which may be used for
cotton raising If irrigated. When
Irrigated. II sells for from two TO
three hundred dollars an acre. II
Is estimated that the cost Of irriga-
ton on three hundred and twenty
acres is about $4,000.
Approximately 132.OO0.O00 acres OF
land are open, including every state
west Of the Mississippi river except
Iowa and Texas. The first thing TO
do is 10 decide on the state. Then,
get the location Of the land Offices In

land lies.

I was positive now that the trailerS
were Apaches and that they wished to
capture Powell alive for the fiendish
pleasure of the torture, so urged my
horse onward ar a most dangerous
pace, hoping against hope that l would
catch up with the red rascals before
they attacked him.
/ had forged ahead for perhaps
mile or more, and had passed through
a narrow. overhanging gorge just be-
fore entering suddenly upon the table
land. and the sight which met my eyes
filled me with CONSERVATION and dis
may.
The little stretch of level land was
white with Indian tepees. and there
were probably half thousand red
warriors clustered around some OBJ
iect near the center of the camp I
was. Of course, positive that Powell
was the attraction, but whether l
thought or acted first l do not know.

direction for their bows, arrows and
rifles.
The view which their hurried ront-
ing disclosed filled me with apprehen-
sion and with rage. Under the clear
rays of the Arizona moon lay Powell,
his body fairly bristling with the ar
rows Of the braves. That he was al
ready dead l could not but be con-
WINGED. and yet I would have saved
his body from mutilation at the hands
Of the Apaches as quickly as would
have saved the man himself from
death.
Riding close to him reached down
from the saddle. and graSping his
cartridge belt drew him up across the
withers of my mount. To return by
the way had come would be more
hazardous than to continue across the
plateau. SO, putting spurs to my poor
beast, I made dash for the opening
to the pass which l could distinguish
on the far side of the tableland.

pursued with imprecations. arrows,

me from the various deadly projectiles

Prepare Early for the Potato
Crop.

In the South early preparation for
the Irish potato crop is important.
In case of the first crop everything
should be gotten ready so that it can
be planted Just as soon as the proper
time comes and the ground is right.
To have, then to plow and prepare
the land, may reduce yield half. A
rain may intervene and planting may
be delayed three or four weeks:
Where practical, the land should
be manured and plowed before
Christmas so that all that will be
needed in spring will be to harrow,
disk, roll and plant. 1t will have fur
ther advantage in fastening the de-
cay of the manure and the sod that is
turned under so that the potatoes
will get greater benefit from the
same. Plant early so that the crop
will have made its growth and formed
most of the tubers before the hot
weather of summer hits it.
In case of the second crop also
early .forethought and preparation
are very important. Moisture must
be secured if the crop is to be sue
cess. This is best assured by plowing
the land at least month ahead of
TIME and keeping it fallow. A Grim
son clover or rye crop turned under
in May ,or early in June in some Sec
tons may well precede the potato
crop. The land will then. have a
month or more to be narrowed and
the soil fined while it gathers m'ois-
ture from the rains. This kind of
preparation with good seed makes the
second crop success nearly any
season.-Southern Agriculturist.

Mr.. Hughes pledges this country to

# the Harding administration to go
% the aid of France if she shall be
attacked during the next three years.
Outside of that period he can go no
further. If this promise is not an en-
;angling alliance we do not know
what an entangling alliance is, and
yet the Republican party, with NAL
ice aforethought defeated the Yer
sailles treaty because a compact with
other nations for mutual defense
would be an entangling alliance. The
treaty to that effect negotiated by
Premier Clemenceau and President
Wilson was defeated because this ma
Sion turned its back -on it.
This left France only such protec-
ton as 1t can get under tne League
of Nations. Everybody knows that
the League of Nations was dis
tressfully weakened by the fact that
this country refused, through the
senate, to back up the treaty nego-
tiated by the President of this coun-
try. Now another administration prac
tically agrees to the same entangle-

New State Taxes to be
Advocated.

A one per cent tax on gasoline,
a one per cent sales tax, in lieu of
other state taxes, an occupation tax
and other license taxes, are advocat-
ed by the state tax commission, in a
statement issued today. Such taxes
would eliminate entirely all state
property taxes on property, county
and local assessments, according to
the tax commission.
j. P. Derham, of the tax cohmis-
sion, in speaking of the situation,
stated that he feels, as do other peo-
pie of the state, that there should be
tax reforms; that the tax burden, as
it exists today, is bearing down Z in
the wrong way; that there should be
a remedy, he said, lies in providing
new sources of revenue. The taxes
on gasoline, sales, occupations of va
rious kinds, and other assets not now
being taxed, will be advocated before
the 1922 legislature which meets in
January.
eff additional sources of revenue,
such as these, were provided Mr..
Derham stated, cit would make pos
sible the elimination entirely of the
present state tax levy on real and
personal property. The burden on
the small home owner would be
lightened."
The United States government is
not supported by any property tax,
but by special taxes. A comparison
of the two tax systems reveals that
the state burden is infnitesimal,
compared with the federal govern
mental cost. In 1920 the federal gov,
ernment in South Carolina cost
1928 per capita, less than one pei
cent of the federal taxation"
"But after ALL" sssr. Derham said
"the states tax burden is the small.
est part of the taxes paid in South
Carolina. By far the largest portion
ofAthe taxes paid in of which large
part is for schools. The people vote
