‘84 MILLION - SPENT TO AID SERVICE MEN Canada Has Elaborate Scheme to Serve Men Who Fought Over Seas Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 10—Canada has spent over $84,000,000 in the establish- ment of returned soldiers on tlie land. This figure represents over 27,0Q0 in- | dividual ex-service. men who have benefited from the law which had for ite twin aims soldier re-establishment ! and the development of the agricul- tural resources of the dominion. It represents 80 per cent of Canada’s ex-service men who have gone back te the land and 30 per cent of the men of the Canadian Army who were | demobilized as physically fit, Under the law any ex-service man eligible from a military standpoint, having seen service overseas, may sapply for loans up to a maximum of $7,500 for the fiollowing purposes: for the purchase: of land $4,500; for stock and equipment, $2,000; for permanent improvements, $1,000. If on encumber- ed land, the ex-soldier is entitled to; loans amounting to $5,000; if on free dominion land, to hoans amounting to $3,000. In the case of’ purchased land the settler must pay ‘10 per cent of the cost price of the land as a guarntee of good faith, These benefits are open to men of. the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, to ex-service men jf Great Britain, the dominions and the Allied forces, who lived in Canada priot to the war, and te ex-service men of the imperial or dominions forces, if on their arival in ‘Canada they spend a sufficient time to gain’ practical agricultural ‘experience on Canadian farms. The imperials, however, are required to pay 20 per-} cent of the expenditures for all pur- | poses cash down. ‘On July 31, the number of applica- tions was 60,827, and of these 43,765 had been accepted as qualified to farm. Nearly 1,000 others are in training with the intention of taking up farms when qualified. Of the 26,701 settled on the land, 20,624 were grant- ed loans. tree dominion lands without assistance. Settlement Board The Settlement Board adopted a system of selection, requiring that ap- plicants must pass. a rigid examina- tion as to physical ability, moral character, and sincerity of purpose, with the result that, out of the 26,000 men who have now been on the land upwards of two years, strict supervis- ion of their operations has revealed the fact. that only about 10 per cent have tailed'to stow promise of satis- factory results. been foufid‘ necessary to allow the settler to! withdraw from his’ obliga- tion and the board ‘has ‘taken. over his farm-and sold it to another. In'425 such cases, where the invest- ment! of the government was $1,662, 729;'the governiiettt realized on resale $1,654,523, showing 4 loss of only $19.30 on each farm, The loans for ‘land and permanent improvements run for 25 years, those for stock and equipment for six years with interest at five per cent. No payments wore due until the fall — of 1920, when 12,231, men were _ liable. The number who made repayments was. 9,330 °and 1,439 made prepay-~ ments. There were 403 who repaid their entire loans. 3 Collapse of Markets In view of the collapse of the mar- kets in the middle of the threshing, season and of the occurrence of drouth and other visitations last year in some localities in the west, the government regards this statement as very satisfactory and it is. believed that a very few years will see most of these soldier farmers well on their way to success. Indeed, there are cases where settlers have taken from the ground crops aggregating in value more than the whole cost of their farms. Alberta has the largest number of soldier settlors, with 6,058; Saskatch- ewan second, with 5,136; the wther provinces in the order named: Mani- teba, 3,319; British Columbia, 2,975; Ontario, 1,521; (New Brunswick, 543; Nova Scotia, 381; Quebec, 363; Prince Edward Island, 329. In addition to the loan advantages which a soldier settler has, the board secures for him very favorable’ ar- rangements with regard to the pur- chase .of ‘his stock and equipment. Farm machinery manufacturers, lum- ber dealers, harness and wagon mak- ers give special prices to soldier set- tlers, in some cases, amounting to a reduction of 30 per cent, In the pur- chase of equipment, the board has af- fected a saving of $886,894. It also has saved the settlers large sums in land purchase. No intermediary is permitted to take a rake-off on sol- diet farms; the land is bought direct from the owner. The most important advantage, Lowever, is the supervision which the board gives to its settlers. It advises him’ in all his opérations until satis- fied ‘that he is doing well and in a po- sition to carry on without assistance.

Dr. L. V. Schwadt, a woman phy- siclan, was the first to learn of the woman's desperate act. She heard a plercing shriek come from the kitch- en into which Lena’ Frank had gone, and upon running’ there she foun that the door had been locked.
