Plan to Give Farm to
Each Soldier Who Asks It
Details of the plan by which the gov
ernment will provide farms for soldiers
and sailors honorably discharged from
the country's service are announced in
a booklet issued by the department of

One of the objects of the booklet
is to ascertain the attitude of the men
toward Secretay Dane's plan for pro
viding them with work and homes on
reclaimed land.
There is a bill now before Congress
asking an appropriation of 1100,000,000.
If this bill is passed it will enable the
Interior department to begin work at
once developing co-operative farm settle
ments for soldiers in virtually every
' state in the country.
While they are working the land
provided the men will receive wages
from the government. The rate of pay
will he equal to that which they would
receive from other employers for sim
ilar work.
In addition to furnishing tho land
the government will supply necessary
stock and farm implements. The men
will be permitted to pay for the land
and implements in small monthly install
ments.
It is proposed to build the commun
ity settle-farm homes, near a town. By
this means the government hopes to
provide a market for the sale of pro
duce within a short distance of each
farm.
For general farming, from forty to
eighty acres will he provided and for
livestock form eighty to 160 acres. Com

300 Per Cent
'M That's a record!
300 per cent, is significant in our retail business and
we think you'll be interested in it.
Overland-Harrisburg retail business in January, 1919,
was three times as big as in any previous Janu
ary since we've been in business. H
And the Overland factory is running at only 50 per
cent, capacity—which shows that the
Demand for
= matm m t=
MB c=^t
is six times as big as the supply.
What does this all mean to YOU? . This is what it
means: That you should order your Overland ee
Car NOW. ' '
Automobile manufacturers all over the land are riot
able to meet the demand. There is a scarcity of •
cars now and there will be a greater scarcity as
the warm weather approaches.
Just think of the popularity of Overlands! The indi
cations at the present writing point to this Febru
ary out-doing January's record.
Better think quickly—and act more quickly.
