& BRRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER e 27,000 SOLDIERS AIDED IN' GANADA Country aHs Expended $84,000;- 000 to Give Servicemen Land Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 6.—Canada has spent over $84,000,000 in the establish- ment of returned soldiers on the land. This figure represents over 27,000 in- dividual ex-service men who have bene- fed from the law which had for its lwin aims soldier re-establishment and the development of the agricultural re- sources of the dominion. It represents S0 per cent of Canada’s ex-service men who have gone back to the land and 30 per cent of the men of the Canadian Army who were demobilized as physi- cally fit. Under the law any ex-service man eligible from a military stangpoint, hav- ing seen service overseas, may apply for loans up to a maximum of $7,500 for the following purposes: for the pur- chase of land $4,500; for stock and equipment $2,000; for permanent im- provements §1,000. If on encumbered land, the ex-soldier is entitled to loans amounting to $5,000; if on free dom- nion land, to loans 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 guarantee of good faith. These benefits«are open to men of the Canadian Expeditionary forces, to ex-service men of Great Britain, the dominions and the Allied forces, who lived in Canada prior to the war, and to ex-service men of the imperial or dominion forces, if on their arrival in Canada they spend a sufiicient time to gain practical agricultural experience on Canadian farms. The imperials, however, are required to pay 20 per cent of the expenditures for all purposes cash down. On July 81, 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 granted loans, The others were located on free dominion lands without financial assistance. The Settlement Board adopted a sys- tem of selection, requiring that appli- cants must pass a rigid examinations as When the Shoe Fits “The shoe which fits both the foot and the frock is the shoe of endur- ing satisfaction” says Le Costume Royal, the fashion magazine, in the October number. “No matter how harmonious the leather miay be with the material of the frock; no matter how attractive the design, how ap- propriate to the costume; no matter any quality if it is not directly con- nected with the virtue of comfort. “M source of courage for these direct statements lies in a tiny wrinkle of pain. Everyone has seen that poor tottering woman who Is balanced upon an uncertain heel with her feet squeezed into pathetic lumps and her forehead crumpled into wee wrinkles. Not that every woman should be firmly planted flat- Iy upon a low heel, but rather upon that arch of comfort which is neces- sary to her correct support and which is appropriate in design to the frock she wears. “Many women have avoided com- fortable shoes, thinking them unat- tractive, and have suffered untold misery for the sake of a desired ef- fect. Recently, however, a skilled leraftsman, who knows not only the needs of a foot, but realizes as well the importance of a smart cffect, has designed shoes which are the last word of the mode and a source of eternal comfort. “No longer need a woman desirous of comfort go tramping srimly about in shoes apparently built to support the law of gravitation. Absolutely chic in every detail, in a sense to phease the most fastidlous wearer, these new shoes of the mode are a perpetual tribute to the art of a good designer. Of soft, durable leather, each shoe is excellently made with an arch which keeps the position of the foot in its proper place, instead of leaving it suspended above or flat- tened against the sole of the shoe, a condition which in either case holds a pernicious effect. Nor in a graceful of the shoe awkwardly rounded into a bulging toe, but kept in a graceful line with the foot. In such subtleties of design lie the success of this foot- wear.” The name of this desirable shoe is attached to the fllustrations accom- panying the above articlé in Costume Royal. It is the @ANTILEVER SHOE. Come and see how well the tilever ShHoe fits and looks on your foot. Let us demonstrate why it is so comfortable and so enjoyable. Sold nowhere else in New Britain. SLOAN BROS. 185 MAIN STREET Can- NOW SHAME | sincerity to physical ability, moral character and of purpose, with the result that, out of the 26,000 men who have now been on the land upwards of two vears, strict supervision of their obera- tions has revealed the fact that only about 10 per cent have failed to show promise of satisfactory results. In some cases, it has been found necessary to allow the settler to withdraw from his obligation and the board has taken over his farm and sold it to another, In 425 such cases, where the inves ment of the government was §1, the government realized on resale §$1, 654,523, showing a loss of oy $19.30 on each farm. The loans for land and permanent improvements run for-25 years, those for stock and gquipment for six vears with interest at five per cent. No paw ments were due until the fall of 1920, when 231 men were liable. The number who made repayments was 9,- 330 and 1,439 made prepayments There were 403 who repaid their entire loans. In view of the collapse of the mar- kets in the middle of the threshing sea- son and of the occurrence of drouth and other visitations last year in some localities in the west, the government regards this statement as very satisfac- tory 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 ag- gregating in value more than the whole cost of their farms. Alberta has the largest number of soldier settlers, with 6,058; Saskatche- wan second, with 5,136; the other pro- vinces in the order named: Manitoba, British Columbia, 2,975; Ontario New Brunswick, 543; Nova Sco- tia, 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 arrange- ments with regard to the purchase of his stock and equipment. Farm mach- inery manufacturers, lumber dealers, harness and wagon makers give special prices to soldier settlers, in some cases, amounting to a reduction of 30 per cent, In the purchase of equipment, the board has effected a saving of $886,804. It also has saved the settlers large sums in land purchase, No in- termediary is permitted to take a rake- off on soldier farms; the land is bought direct from the owner. The most important advantage, how- ever, Is the supervision which the board gives to its settlers. It advises him in all his operations until satisfied that he is doing well and in a position to carry on without assistance. It buys only what he needs, not what he wants, in this way curbing his propensity for rash buying. A home branch counsels and assists in whatever manner seems to be desir- able the dependents of the settlers. This branch has secured the cooperation of the Red Cross and other societies in the establishment of hospitals in re- mote areas and it has brought thous- ands of fhe women to centers of popu- lation for courses in home economics, which have proved very interesting and helpful. This great reestablishment scheme, which it is claimed is unrivaled in the world, is administered by a board of three: Major John Barnett, Major E. J. Ashton, and 3.- el Meber.

Game to be Staged at St. Mary’s Ficld Saturday Afternoon, The Empire A., C. team of this city will line up against the fast Acorns of Meriden Saturday afternoon at St. Mary's field. Kickoff at 3 p. m. The Meriden boys have a team of no little repute this season and they have been old time rival of the Em- pires for the past rour seasons, but so far they have been unable to score against the local team. Last season the teams met twice on the gridiron. The first game resulted in a 0-0 score and in the second game the locals de- feated the Acorns 6-0, so the Meriden team i3 very anxious to come hera again this season to try to take the scalps of the local pigskin chasers. The Empires are practicing hatd this week in preparation for the game Saturday atternoon and several changes are being made in the line-up which will greatly improve the team.

Va., Oct. 6.—Coach Spears of West Virginia specialized on the defense against Pitt plays vesterday and through a full hour of scrimmage gave possession of the ball absolutely to the scrub team. For the scrubs, Eckberg and Beeker did fine work at advancing the ball. Eck- berg especially driving through the varsity for biz gains off tackle.

FRENCH TRADER WAS o1, LOUIS FOUNDER Long Time Argument in Western, City Settled St. Louis, Oct. 6.—A dispute as to who founded St. Louis has beem set- tled, in the opinion of the Missouri Historical society. The society asserts Pierre Laclede, French fur trader, was the founder. Records of the society show that Laclede dirécted Auguste Chouteau,14 ars old, to land on the site of the city. Chouteau with a pary set foot here Feb. 14, 1764, accordiug to the tecords and Laclede arrived later but was recognized as the founder. Recently a proposition to erect a memorial for Chouteau was discussed. The historical society announced that Henri Chouteau, a direct descendant of Chouteau and a member of the so- cicty, offered to pay the cost of the memorial provided the monument would name Chouteau as the founder of the city. The offer was declined. Then the descendant had an inscrip- Jon on the tombstone of Choueau re- cut. The society declared the orig- inal inscription gave the birth of Chouteau as 1750 and said he was sent by Laclede, but in the recutting claimed that the date of birth was 6, 192y | changed to 1740, making Chouteau's | aze when he arrived here 24 and | making it appear Choutcsu was th founder, 1 Both sides in the controversy final- ' Iy agreed upon Father Lawrence J. Kenny, professor of tory at St l.ouis University, as arbiter in the | matter Fatker Kenny, in his findings, veri- fled the position of the society and said authentic records show that Chouteau’s mother was born in 733, ard that if Chouteau was born in 1740 as maintained by his'descend- ants, his mother would have been or seven years old when he was boru. The arbiter suggested that Chouteau ie credited as a coworker of Laclede. BRITISH GOLFERS LOSE.
