Sept. 26, 1921.?Sixteen world war veterans from one post of the American Legion in Tulsa, Okla., have settled upon government homestead land in Scott county, Southern Arkansas. By cold weather, it is estimated that 100 ex-service men will have taken claims on the land. , The territory which will become a settlement of world war service men, the first in America, stretches over 2,500 acres, composed of adjoining individual tracts of 160 acres each. The men have to live on the land but seven months before it becomes their property as Arkansas gives residence credit to soldiers up to two years of army or navy service. Part of the men will spend the winter on their land, clearing timber, building, hunting and trapping, for the tracts abound in deer, fox and lynx. The sixteen who have already settled ! A- --i?Vli-l. ? are preparing vu csumhisji a v^uuai trading point and town which they .. will name "Legionaire." Four, of the pioneers are married and all have had farming experience. Homeateading is now passible in the following other states: Washington, Michigan, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Louisiana, Alabama, Colorado, Idaho and Oregon. A family which itself is a thriving war veterans' socity has come to the notice of the American Legion in Independence, Kas.

Of the lot, the father, soldier of the Union in 61, is proudest of his even dozen sons who served overseas with the American forces in the world war. Of the* remainder, 20 are girls and one 3on was too young to fight. The oldest is 42. The Pershing estate in Tangipahoa Parish, La., owned jointly by heirs of John J. Pershing, father of the general of the armies, has been advertised for sale for taxes, according to a letter sent the general by the editor of an American Legion magazine published in Amite, La. The editor posted sufficient funds with the Parish sheriff to prevent the sale and requested General Pershing to make the estate available for colonization by his comrades who are being rehabi!

The number of civilian employes in the Panama canal zone has been reduced 40 percent since March 4, 1921, and more than 700 former soldiers will be forced out of employment if there is not a let-up, an appeal from the canal zone to the American Legino's representatives in Washington declares. Two army officers and three civilians appointed by Secretary of War Weeks recommended the sweeping reductions in personnel.

War Mothers of the city are : teaching the wounded men to color the weeds with dyes and the American j Legion is helping them p'ace the flowers with florists and gift shops. For the return of a tattered old army rain-cape, almost worth its weight in gold because of sentiment attached to it, liberal rewards have been posted by American Legion service men of Toledo, 0. The cape, property of Rev. H. F. MacLane, chaplain of an infantry regiment in France, was used by him to cover the faces of dead soldiers lying in the Flanders mud and rain whi'e their graves were being dug. It had been torn in many encounters with barbed wire while the chaplain followed his troops, but an undiscriminating thief sfole it from the minister's automobile.

Thomas M; Keelan, world war vetenui, was flogged to death by his guards, according to the American Legion post of Spartanburg, S. C., near the scene cf the outrage. A federal investigation has been demanded and two men aie being held. The body of the unknown American 1 soldier to be brought home from France by General Pershing probably will be selected from the Argonne cemetery at Aomagne, where most of the unidentified dead were interred following the fighting in the forest tangles, according to information to the American Legion shortly before the general sailed. But two percent of the war's dead yet remain in France. More Acres and Better Yields. The Northern farmer cultivates three or four times more acres than the Southern farmer and makes larger yields per acre of those crops which both cultivate. Of course, the row crops, like cot tvn diiu wuau;Vf IC^IUIC rnuic tuinvation than Northern crops. Moreover, the hand harvesting required by the Southern crops also reduces the acreage which can be handled per worker. But after making full allowances for these conditions it is apparent that the Southern farmer cultivates too few acres. The reasons are also apparent. The Southern farmer has not yet been able to get away from the hand labor methods employed during slaverj, when labor was abundant and cheap, luc habit has been harder to break since the abolition of slavery because cheap labor has remained plentiful and our row crops encourage the use of the hoe and other small implements and hand methods. i Of course, it is true that the value per acre of Southern crops is greater i than that of Northern crops, notwith standing our smaller yields per acre but the fact is that the Southern farmrD YOU BUILD BUT ONCE77] o e S C.

Until he produces an earns more per worker, he can nev< build the roads, maintain the school; and equip the homes necessary to satisfied rural life. Unless he ca earn more, we can see nothing in stor for the Southern farm worker muc better than the peasant poverty an barren life of some of the older an thickly settled countries. There are two ways by either c which, or rather by a combination c which, the Southern farm worker ma produce more. Of course, he can ear more by producing more per acre an by better business and marketin methods. But lie must produce moi per man to compete with other se< tions of the world.
