Plan is for Purpose of SecurT
iilg Land for Returned'
7-f'.''" Soldiers.
Chicago, Nov. 19.—Redemption of
"•America's waste land by the establish
ment of farm colonies for returned
soldiers, a plan proposed by Frederic
C. Howe, United States commissioner
of immigration, for solving post-war
problems, is being strongly endorsed
here by authorities on agriculture and
economics.
The proposed colonies would be de
veloped along the lines followed in
California where 6,000 acres were
bought by the government last spring
and let out to farmers, in small hold
ings. The colony, has been success
fully operated on a co-operative basis!
Commissioner Howe believes that
more colonies should be established
throughout the country by the gov
ernment, each one near a city, where
the produce of the farms could be
sold to advantage.
"The sites should be selected by
experts, as was done in establishing
shipbuilding sites.. Model villages
with a common dairy, common farm
ing instruments, common forests,
playgrounds and pasture lands, are
provided in the general plan.
"The farm must be made worth
while if we are to stop the influx of
people to the city from the country,"
said Mr. Howe. "The farm must be
made profitable to the soldiers re
turning from Europe. We cannot
give them a piece of land to clear of
underbrush, or a swamp to drain, and
then tell them they can cultivate it.
They 'deserve more than that. The
only effect of T3uch procedure would
'be to make the lands more valuable
for the owners who had probably
bonght the lands years before for^a
•-few cents."
"The 'Back to the Land* theory is
very pretty," Mr. Howe continued.
"But the real difficulty is that we al
wa*ys like the c^her fellow to go back.
The farmer is the Cinderella of poli
tics today, for he gets no help, and
then we resent it because he com
plains."
The time was never more oppor
tune, in the opinion of authorities
here, for extending American agricul
ture by the simple means of making
adequate land allotments to soldiers.
Mr. Howe said that monopoly of
land is gradually being done away
with.
"This movement began during the
Fsencn revolution, when large feudal
estates were divided among the com
mon people," he said. "It has been
developed by the Russians, and will
spread t» Austria-Hungary and Ger
many. Thus in all those countries
the peasant or common working man
will finally achieve political tfower.
"Ownership by each man of some
thing really his own, goes a long way
towards making a cdtmtry prosperous
and truly democratic."
TROUBLE IN BERLIN

HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS
The excruciating agonies of rheuma
tism are usually the result of failure
of, the kidneys to expel poisons from
the systefn. In a majority of cases
rheumatism is an indication that uric
acid has pervaded the system. If the
irritation of these' uric acid .crystals is
allowed to continue, incurable bladder
or kidney disease may result. Attend
to it at once. Don't resort to tempor
ary relief. The sick kidneys must be
restored to health by the use of some
sterling remedy which will prevent a^
return of the disease.
Get some GOLD MEDAL Harlem
Oil Capsules immediately. They are
a standard world-famous medicine in
use for over two hundred years. They
have brought back the joys of life to
countless thousands of sufferers from
rheumatism, lame tiack, lumbago, sci
atica, gall stones, gravel and other af
fections of the kidneys, liver, stomach,
bladder and allied organs.
They will attack the poisons at once,
clear out the kidneys and urinary
tract and the soothing healing oils and
berbs will restore the inflamed tissues
and organs to normal health.
GOLD MEDAL is the original Haar
lem Oil imported direct from the
home laboratories in Haarlem, Hol
land, by the Genuine Haarlem Oil
Mfg. Co., Haarlem, Holland, American
office, 118 Beekman St., N. T.

DISCUSS THE
INSTALLATION
OF RED GUARD
Delegates of all Soldiers'
Councils Hold Important
Meeting in Berlin.
Amsterdam, Nov. 18.—Monday.—
Delegates from all the soldiers'
councils-met in the reichst&g cham
bers in Berlin on Friday to discuss
the institution of the red'guard, ac
cording to advices received here.
Friederich Ebert, the premier, de
clared there was no necessity for the
guard. He said: "I have no anxiety
for the new government because it is
sustained by the competence of the
masses. We have received news that
the troops were orderly when the ar
mistice was declared. In the back
areas many cases-of haste 'to return
home are reported. In* Baden and
Wurttemburg, the troops streaming
back to the front constitute a great
danger to security. Negotiation? are
in progress to obtain food from Amer
ica. Peace and order means trans
port facilities. All soldiers' councils
must place themselves at the service
of the government to hasten de
mobolization. Democracy can march
only if its head is untouched. Tlien
too, we have prospect of getting peace
conditions which at least may be
somewhat favorable.
"If the enemy sees anarchy among
us he will dictate conditions which
will entirely destroy German eco
nomic life. Therefore, go forward to
common work for the future."
Resolutions were unanimously
adopted that the representatives of
the garrison of greater Berlin should
employ all means to maintain order,
achieve, a social republic and increase

ASSOCIATED PRESS
OPERATOR BECOMES
SUCCESSFUL LAWYER
Ogden, Utah, Nov. 19.—Six years',
study of the law during periods of
rest as an Associated Press operator
And when not occupied with his reg
ular work, fitted Joseph B. Bates to
become the successful "candidate for
county attorney of Weber county,
Utah, of which,Ogden is the county
seat. Bates was elected at the recent
election by a substantial majority,
running on the Democratic ticket.
Bates began working for the Asso

home, in 1910. He took up law at
Leadville in 1912, using a, corre
spondence course as a basis. He reg
istered with the Colorado supreme
court as serving a clerkship In a law
office and had access to a law library

Bates passed the bar examination in
Utah on March 16, 1918. His work

Bates, Associated Press operator at
Colorado Springs, Colo., who has
been in the service of the Associated
Press since 1898, and who gave his

minutes soon run 4hto hours and
hours into days, and so on, Mr. Bates
said in explaining his stifdy of law.

In Normal Times Country
Would Show Great Deal
of Interest.
London, Monday, Nov. 18.—In nor
mal times the country would be in a
fever of Excitement over the elections.
Interest in politics, however, tt now
submerged underN the greater Interest
In the closing events of the war.
The political situation Is peculiar
because there is only one man in the
field and there Is no concerted oppo
sition t» him. All. tactions approve of
Premier Lloyd George's reconstruc
tion plans as far as they go. What
opposition exists Is divided Into two
sections. The first Is the old liberal
organisation 16d by former Premier
Asquith which opposes the election as
untimely principally because only
fojrty per cent of the soldiers, accord
ing to their estimates will be able to
vote. They say the soldiers have the
greatest claim to a voice In the set
tlement of the war.
The other section is the labor party,
which nas Its own program, including
the nationalization of railways, mines
and other public works with compen
sation to the owners,

leading liberal organs Invite the pre

in his platform. They ask how he
will pay for this land and how he
will finance. his proposal for the ex
tensive building of worklngmen's

answered' these questions last Satur
day and says that the cabinet has not
had time yet to prepare bills.

Cadillac Policy for 1918*1919
The Cadillac Motor Car Company an
nounces herewith its policy for 1918-1919.
*1 Prices will be restored, at once, to the
figures which prevailed before Cadillac
production was restricted by .Govern
mental order.
Decreased output resulting from Governmental curtail
ment necessitated an increase of $300 -on all Cadillac
models.
4| This $300 increase is now removed on the entire Cadillac
line—the readjusted prices to be in effect as of 12 o'clock
,fi
midnight, Saturday, November 16th.
ft»must be remembered that the Cadillac Motor C^r
Company has been on an exclusive war basis, and deliv
eries will naturally be limited, until the factory is restored
to a peace-footing.
The respect in which the Cadillac is heldv the world over,
has been greatly emphasized by its splendid performance
in war service, and by the further fact that the United
States Army has adopted the Cadillac as its standard
seven-passenger car. C'V'.
C|[ Cadillac capacity has always been swiftly absorbed, but,
in,view of the facts cited abovev prospective buyers" will
do well to be forewarned against a demand without a
''"""precedent.
We assume that Peace will shortly folio# the signed
.armistice. In that event, the entire capacit^of ourfaqtpiy
be devote^ to the production of Cadillac
In spite of that fact, we do hot believe it will be possible to
