Congress will be asked for leg lation to make this land available, according to the pr t plans of Sec- ret Lane and congressional lead- ers.

Bills are now before con- on that subject, and the plan now is to weld into an administra- tion bill a measure embracing & retary’'s Lane's ideas, the legislation to be patterned after a bill now be- fore the house public lands commit- tee by Representative Smith of Idaho. The amount of swamp and cut-over lands is extensive, reports from the department of the interior indicate but just how extensive is not known. It is estimated that approximate 60,000,000 acres of swam and ove flow land can be made available for farming. Some of it has passed into private ownership. It lles chiefly in Plorida, in the states along the At- lantic and Gulf coasts, in the Mis- ssippi delta and in Missouri, Indi- ana, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and California. It is estimated that of the cut-over and logged-off land there is approxi- mately 200,000,000 acres suitable for agricultural development. A larger percentage of this land is now in pri- vate ownership, and it is shown that failure to develop it is due largely to inadequate methods of approach, says Secretary Lane. Unless a new policy of development is worked out in co- operation between the United States the states and the individual owner: a greater part of it will remain un- settled and uncultivated. The land lies chiefly in Washington and Ore- gon, Virginia,- North Carolina and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala- bama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tes Other than the planning, the de- velopment should be by the returned soldier, according to Secretary Lane's views. “The dam or the irrigation project should be built by him,” Mr. Lane “The canals, the ditches, the breaking of the land and the building of the houses, should, under proper direction, be his occupation. He should be allowed to make his own home, cared for while he is doing it, and given an interest in the land for which he can pay through a ‘long period of years, perhaps thirty or forty year: “So that the soldier on his return would have an opportunity to make a home for himself, to build a home with money which we would advance and which he would repay, and for the payment we would have an abun- dant securit 66 KILLED IN TRAIN HOLD-UP BY BANDITS ask gress Followers of Villa Slay by Wholesale 50 Miles South of Chihua- hua City.

The moving pictures and a fully equipped mine rescue car are extra attractions that have been se- cured with the exhibits. The country is divided into six sec- tions forming circuits for this big display, and less than thirty state fairs have been included. The two ars leave Washington the middle of month and will first tour the Mis- sissippi valley. The second cuit of the Middle Atlantic States will take in Connecticut by special government permission, between the Syracuse and Trenton f The Far South, Middle West and Far West are the later cir- cuits. B Although New Eng originally included in the national tour, the Connecticut State Council of Defense secured special permission from the federal government to of- fer to the people of this state an op- portunity to see the government war activities in this unusual and striking form, with the explanations from gov- ernment attendants. From the War Department there be examples of guns, soldiers’ equip- ment and tents, hand grenades, a trench periscope, zas masks, insignia | of rank and honor and various sig- naling outfits such as field wircless and heliograph instruments. The Navy Department sends munitions sets of flags for naval purposes and naling, mine, air bombs and pro- jectiles. Charts, photographs and ap- paratus for actual rescue work and cluding samples of fishery product such as tanned skins of aquatic ani- mals and buttons made from ell fish, will complete the display.

The late William Boyd Allison, former representative and later senc Iowa, held a record in 1 years' service in both Mr. Cannon’s record is for in the housec alone, One would complete a service of 44 years. Were it not for an affair in 1890, when the democrats took control of the house, following pas: McRinley tariff law, and another in- cident of 1912, when the progre split the republican vote, Mr. non's service would have been 24 terms continuous, (48 years). it is he began his service in 1873 and has served since with the excep- tion of the two terms mentioned.
