been compiled by a well-informed Pen

At Pensacola: F. F. Bingham,
started November. 1916, built two
wooden motor schooners, one 575 and
one 700 ton dead weight capacity, each
paid when about half built, one at
140,000 and one at 178,000. Used rail
road land and rented power, and to
talinvestment in "plant" did not ex
ceed $500. Was profitable and owner
would like to continue, but the em
bargoes on lumber, anchor chains and
wire rigging for private shipbuilding:,
as well as the growing: scarcity of
other materials, presents obstacles
.that he does not feel anxious to tackle.

At Pensacola: J. W. Bullock, about
a month ago at Bruce Dry Dock Co.
site, opened a plant to build at least
two motor schooners on the "Bingham

satisfaction.
A young clerk came smilingly to
ward the table. "What will you have

COLONIZATION OF
cui-oe UIBOS
' New Orleans," La., Jan. 22. Plans
for after-war colonization of American
soldiers on the cut-over lands of the
South will shortly be taken up with
the: Federal authorities at Washing
ton, where Congress Is already con
sidering the question. Announcement
to this effect was made today by de
ment S. Ucker, vice-president of the
Southern Settlement and Develop
ment Organization of Baltimore, Md.,
in a communication to the. Cut-Over
Land Department of th Southern Pine
Association.
. Already the British government is
preparing to provide an enormous sum
to finance a back-to-the-land move
ment for return Tommies, and definite
arrangements of a' similar charact -r
Have been made by the Australian Do
minion in behalf of the Anzacs. Can
ada is providing ' farms for men in
capacitated for further military ser
vice, who have been sent -back from
the front. '
."What will the soldiers do when the
armies are demoblized at the close of
the war?" asked Mr: Ucker. "What
will the nation' do to assist its heroes
of foreign battlefields! .to return to
peaceful occupations under conditions
favorable alike to them 'and, to the
body politic?. -
"If history of all great wars; includ
ing the war between the . stages, re
peats itself, a large number . of th
returning soldiers, regardless of pre
vious occupation, will go to the land;
and the coastal plains section of the
South, with its millions of acres of
idle agricultural lands, offers the one
big opportunity for the soldier's home
stead, the one big opportunity for tlje
South to develop itself,' and in that
development to perform a great na
tional service," says Mr. Ucker.
"It is a matter of common knowl
edge," he said, "that at the close of
the war between the states, thousands
of the soldiers on both sides, accus
tomed to the outdoor life of the army,
losing places In. various employments,
sought homesteads' on the free pub
lic domain in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
the Dakotas and other Western states-
"That England is anticipating a
similar movement of her, soldiers at
the close of the war is shown by the
fact," says Mr. Ucker, "that Sir Rider
Haggard was appointed at the out
break of the war by that government
to make an intensive study of agricul
tural conditions In all parts of the
British empire, with view to provid
ing ready-made homesteads for her
soldiers after cfemobllzation of her
army."
Mr. Ucker points out that the re-
of paper, fluttered down, which he
quickly picked wp unnoticed, looked at
it quickly and with nonchalance
slipped it into his vest pocket
Seated in the automobile, he brought
the conversation on the ' garment

forgotten to lay out at least one of
the beautiful cloaks she had bought in
Paris. Fortunately, a friend had told
her where she could hire one; and
here she even mentioned the name of
the place. She was astonished to dis
cover this one. Her mother even had
not seen the difference, it was so pret

He smiled at the explanation and
seemed quite satisfied. In a casual
way, he remarked:
' "Maybe this cloak could tell a story
like Joseph's coat" '
. Two days later the young man was
seen at the pawn shop. The excited
little woman, her eyes blazing with
the lure of gold, was talking rapidly.
"I have given her two days of grace,,
and I will not wait a minute longer.
I will sell you that cioak for a song
