Sine nolle was ftlvrn of the
opening up of certain fani units on
tb completed portions tf the South
Side canal, there has been a consid
erable amount of Inquiry as to-details.
The following from the
Goshen county Journal would Indi
cate that while all of the plans of
the drawing have not as yet been
completed, the plans as a whole are
rapidly taking form:
The opening of about erenty-fiTe
farm units under the South Hide'
canal will take place in Torrlngton
the last week In February, according
to arrangements being made by the
United States reclamation ' service.
These lands lie south of (he river and
extend from a point abouj south of
this place and extend west to a point
outh of Llngle.
These lands will be drawn for by a
plan being formulated by the recla
mation service and will be alloted to
those given water rights from the
canal through a system of drawing
the water rights before filing on the
land. The price fixed for a water
right for elhgty acres of this land
will be In the neighborhood of $400
as , the Initial payment. , The total
payments on the water rights will be
something like $90 per acre extend
ing over a period of nineteen years.
Complete details of the drawing
for these water rights wlll.be pub
lished later.
. The new land to be opened up un
der the South Side canal in the near
future will add much value to the
farming Interests of Goshen county
aa these lands are of the best In the
county. While the area to be opened
tip at the present time, only repre
sents a small portion of the land that
trill eventually be opened, under this
project in this county, It will give a
new Impetus to the farming Industry.
These are thousands of acres
under this project that will not be
opened for several years unless
money Is immediately appropriated
for finishing the South Side canal to
a point on Klowa creek east of the
state line. Of the land that will
come under the South Side canal
there are thousands of acres that
have been filed upon prior to the leg
islation of that territory for the use
of the reclamation service, many
acres of which have been farmed
under the dry farming system. The
majority of this land Is of a high
class and when water Is available
will produce excellent yields of
grains, potatoes, alfalfa and sugar
beets.

The returns for November 30,
1919, show that the field artillery
regiments In the United States had a
total of 7,364 enlisted tnen. The
regimental strengths ran from 67 to
777, or an average of 254 per regi
ment.; These figures must be tripled
by March 1. The main reason for
the great shortage of men In the field
artillery Is that there" Is a lack of
appreciation among recruits of the
advantages that service In this arm
offers. The field artillery will train
specialists. The caterplller tractor
Industry Is an Important element in
modern Industry. There Is no school
running that can teach a man more
about the construction. care and op
eration of this new Invention than
the field artillery. When a man has
handled his tractor under the condi
tions imposed by military service and
has time and again accomplished the
seemingly Impossible be will have
learned something that will give him
a well paid Job the minute be seeks
his discharge. The same is true of
other motor vehicles. ; Caring for
these things requires the training
and work of specialists In motors.
The field artillery does that as well.
.Motor mechanics, carbureter men,
motorcycle experts, carpenters, black
smiths and painters, chauffeurs and
draftsmen are developed. The motor
end of field artillery has not been
given sufficient publicity. We have
the schools and the instructors and
the tools to make the specialists and
we will. Other men may not be en
thusiastic about motors, but like ani
mals. In the horsed and mountain
regiments they can learn to be horse-
shoers, farriers, horsemen, drivers
and saddlers. We offer Instruction
In the duties of cooks, bakers, bar
bers, buglers, cobblers, draftsmen,
clerks, tailors. Headquarters detail
requires specialists and to obtain
them Instruction Is carried on to de
velop radio, telegraph and telephone
men and topographers. There Is one
profession that offers high wages on
the outside and which Is taught well
In the army that of bandsmen. Any
man who Is musically Inclined would
do well to consider this phase of the
question. He will learn an art that
Is always looking for more men and
his future will be assured.
The occupations mentioned above
are taught because the field artillery
needs specialists. The field artillery
needs the men and In return for their
services they are taught any or some
of the trades , mentioned while re
ceiving pay and being made better
cltixens. The field artillery offers a
most attractive branch for service
while learning. In time of peace the
life Is not dull and humdrum but is
full of life and excitement and action.
All men enlisting for three years
In the field artillery have a choice of
assignment to any regular army reg
iment In the United States. Previ
ous service men may enlist for one
year for general assignment or for
assignment to Fort Sill with one of
the following regiments: First F. A.
motorlted two and one-half ton Cad
Iliac tractors, , light artillery; Ninth
F. A. motorized, five and ten ton ar
tillery tractors, heavy artillery;
Fourteenth F. A. horse dran, Iwight

The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops
and cuts down costs' by investment in
labor-saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers crops en
courage new investment, more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the world's markets.
The railroads like the farms increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
Witli fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield a fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.

The man, who loves a dog and
a pipe, has two staunch friends
that never fail him in good luck or
in bad. They give all and, ask.
nothing in return. Day by day
they become nearer and dearer to
him: The man who has not a dog
and a pipe has missed two of the
greatest things this good old world
can give.
. Every man who loves his pipe should
know Velvet, the one tobacco that brings
out all of a pipe's best and sweetest qualities.
Your pipe takes on an added friendliness from
Velvet's choice Kentucky leaf aged in the wood
to a mellowness that's rich and smooth -as
cream.
Your pipe takes on a rnjld sweetness that
is Velvet's natural tobacco sweetness. And
around you hovers the real tobacco fra
grance that all good pipe smokers
love.
Never did Velvet Joe say O
wiser, truer thing than this:
.
"Folks say you can't buy friend'
ship. . You can buy a dog and a
pipe and good old Velvet and I
reckon no man ever had three bet'
ter friends."
There's a lot of pipe-loads in
every big generous tin of
Velvet, and every pipe-load
is . good tobacco at its best
