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

notice of the American Legion in Independence,

the familiar "papa." 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!

contains 100 acres of the Parish's best

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.

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.

has been demanded and two men

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

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

hand, has increased his yields per aci
