: WOUNDED MEN
MAKE GOOD ON
SMALL FARMS
NEW YORK, July 16 (by Associated
Press).—A number of modest little
farms operated by veterans of the
world war who have recovered from
* shell shock, gas or wounds, now dot
the states of New Jersey, Connecticut
- and New York. The owners of these
farms, most of them graduates of the
New York State School of Agriculture
at Farmingdale, L. I., have been “re
habilitated” and are now making good
as food producers with the same en
thusiasm that took them “over the
top” in France.
The transformation of most of these
former soldiers who selected farming
from among the subjects offered by
the federal board of vocational train
ing in many cases has been a com
plete metamorphosis of railroad brake
men, plumbers, policemen, mechanics
and laborers. One recent graduate of
the school was a bartender before the
war and today he owns a thoroughly
up-to-date place near Toms River, N. J.
According to A. A. Johnson, director
of the school, there were 76 federal
board men enrolled in June and a
number of these have since graduated.
Director Johnson was lavish in his
praise of what the soldier farmers are
accomplishing, declaring that not only
were they doing their full share in the
economic program of their country
but “in a good many cases, consider
ably more than others less handi
capped by wounds.” He said they
were about equally divided as farm
tractor mechanics, general farmers,
poultry raisers and hog breeders.
Rrchie A. Stone, former member of
the Minnesota legislature, who is in
charge of the work for the govern
ment, and has studied the results of
the farm vocational training plan, said
that it is producing results of a def
inite and permanent character. The
students may have both theory and
practice at Farmingdale 365 days in
the year.
Michael Leddy, who lost an arm at
Chateau-Thierry, is specializing in
tractor work and with one hand and a
steel hook, drives as straight a fur
row, it is said, as any two-handed
farm boy.
A year ago Charles Kupinski, an
^ other crippled soldier, had never even
ridden in a motor car. Recently, ac
cording to Director Johnson, he re
paired a cracked cylinder in a heavy
farm tractor at a saving of nearly
$200 to the school.
Other soldier graduates of Farming
dale who are operatnig farms are
Harry F. Cruise at Holbrook, L. I.;
Edison S. Smith, New Canaan, Conn.;
Elmer E. Sturtz, Wellersburg, Pa.;
Austin A. Sullivan, Ronkonkoma, L».
and a number of others within fifty
mile® of New York.

r GO TO LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES, July 16 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The belief, held by
many residents of Los Angeles, as well
as by people in many other parts of
the United States, that Iowa had con
tributed more citizens to the perma
nent population of this city than any
oher state in the union, was disproved
by the census figures.
Of the 575,480 residents credited to
Los Angeles, Illinois lost 39,0.83; Ohio,
30,792; New York, 29,644; Missouri,
23,644; Pennsylvania, 21,169; and
Iowa, 21,071.
Every state and territory of Uncle
Sam’s found representatives in L03

in mid-Pacific.

JOURNALISM IS
TO BE TAUGHT
IN PHILIPPINES
MANILA, July 16 (by Associated
Press).—A school of journalism, the
first in the Far East, has been estab
lished at the University of the Philip
pines in Manila. Walter Wilgus, grad
ute of the Columbia university school
of journalism, class of 1915, is the
director of the school, having arrived
here from the United States a month
ago. During the last five years Mr.
Wilgus has been engaged in news
paper work in various capacities. He
was a reporter on New York and Bos
ton newspapers, for a time was em

sociated Press, and just prior to his
departure for Manila was connected
with the school of journalism at the
University of Illinois.
Admission to the school of journal
ism is limited to third and fourth year
students who have shown marked abil
ity in the use of English. The course
is open to both men and women. A
class of about fifty registered at the
opening of the journalistic course.
Dean Conrado Benitez, of the Col
lege of Liberal Arts, formerly in
charge of the Philippine Press in
Washington, D. C., was one of the
leaders in the movement to establish
the journalistic course.
Prof. Walter B. Pitkin of the Colum
bia university school of journalism
will deliver a series of lectures in
October at the University of the Phil
ippines.

racing season here are being discussed
among horse owners, promoters and
government officials. The length of
the season has not bten determined.

ernment orders against gambling re

orders would affect betting.
