SOLDIER COLONIES
Land Reclamation Project* are
Probable in Neighborhood
Hammond, Lake Charles
Washington, Oct. 14.—Lake
Charles and Hammond are listed as
projects for soldier land reclamation
in a report by H. T .Cory, consulting
engineer of the United States recla
ation service. Two projects also are
mentioned in Mississippi.
Florida has the largest available
land for reclamation, Mr. Cory re
ported, and declared the "real fron
tier in America is on the Gulf and
Atlantic coasts."
Opportunities for reclamation of
land in the South are extensive, said
Mr. Cory. The investigation from
which Mr.Cory's conclusion was made
was conducted in conenction with
plans for furnishing American sol
diers with land tracts and permanent
homes.
Problem is in Selecting
"The problem is not in finding pro
ject sites," Mr. Cory finds, "but in se
lecting the best of many." In a gen
eral analysis he found the govern
ment coul obtain land in large areas
for prices ranging from $5 to $15 an
acre and reclaim it at a cost which
would make its total value when
drained, cleared and opened by roads,
range from $100 to $125 per acre.
Creation of soldier colonies in the
land, according to the report, would
be the most effective method of get
ting the land utilized and giving the
soldiers proper oportunities as well
Mr. Cory expressed the belief larger
projects would be the more success
ful in that the work could be done
more cheaply and the settlements
would have greater social advantages.
1,200,000 Acre* in Florida
Mr. Cory said in Florida the ever
glades territory gives 1,200,000 avail
able acres. In North Carolina five
meritorous projects have been ex
amined, including nearly 1,000,000
acres of land, and in* South Carolina
four. In Georgia, the report classi
fies the Swanee project in Clinch,
Ware and Coffee counties as capable
of providing 100,000 acres of tillable
land and for an expenditure of $10,
000 , 000 .
Two projects in Mississippi, three
in the alluvial area of Arkansas and
six in the coastal plain sector of the
state have been reported upon^s well
as three in Texas. In Tennessee the
report finds the Maryland project on
the Cumberland plateau suitable for
investigation. The Brewton project
is the only one dealt with in Alabama.

Nearly 4,000 fliers Will Be
Concentrated Along the
Mexican Line
Washington, Oct. 10. —Concentra
tion of practically all available army
flying personnel in this country at the
air stations along the Mexican bor
der was announced today "under re
commendation of the director of air
service."
Four surveillance squadrons, five
pursuit, two observation and tfive
bombing groups are temporarily as
signed to the Mexican line, with sta
tions at Kelly, Scott and Ellington
fields and intermediate points along
the international line.
The trained personnel comprising
these groups und the headquarters
now being organised at Kelly field
is 36« officers and 3,124 enlisted
The announcement aiso gave the
aerial forces that are to be assigned
to the insular districts. Three obser
vation groupe and a photographic sec
tion will be stationed in the Philip
pines and to Hawaii, while the pro
tection of the canal zone from the
air will be left to two observation

Active squadrons will be maintain

LIFE INSURANCE OF
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
The figures given by the "Insur
ance Press" bring down only to the
end of 1918 the commuted value of
insurance claims awarded by the Bu
reau of War Risk Insurance, a total
at that time of $192,710,000. By
the.first of June the figure had risen
to $896,200,000 and now it is prob
ably in excess of $1,000,000,000.
Without a dissenting voice life in
surance companies and life insurance
agents have urged soldiers and sailors
to retain the government inusrance,
and they have used every means with
in their power to counteract the nat
urally large proportion of lapses since
the war ended.
During the war government insur
ance was quite an automatic affair
and undoubtedly many of the soldiers
and sailors did not undrestand the lib
erality of the government's insurance
propositions. Within moderate lim
its the government is offering them
insurance at cost, paying out of its
treasury all expenses of administra
tion. '
Organizations are being perfected
in all parts of the country to reinstate
on generous terms the'government
policies that have lapsed.
A "keep-up-your-policy" campaign
is in progress for the benefit of dis
charged soldiers and sailors and tens
of thousands of life insurance agents
have enlisted as "volunteers" to do
everything in their power to assist
the men to keep their present govern
ment policies in force or to convert
them to optional forms of govern
ment insurance.

as much in Mobile and Norfolk,where
only a one and one-half percent in
crease was reported.

$708.37.
Theaverage New Orleans family
paid more for living necessities than

Charleston, Norfolk, Va., and of
Washington, D. C.
Mobile, Memphis and Birmingham
paid more than the New Orleans
family.
New Orleans people, on an average
