line of land defense to a “line of outposts" which must bear the initial
brunt of any attack.
The “outpost line” must be garrisoned, he said, with an “initial protective force" of 400.000 men with another 600,000 men in immediate re-
serve in event of a war.
Craig said the army is now rapidly approaching the status of a stream-
againg a farm of thousands of acres, and making it pay. as is his present task, in connection with the state
penal farm.
Mr. Hemmer was graduated in agriculture at Purdue, and uses as many of the Purdue methods as he can. as regards agriculture, but he and his staff of 'department managers have had to work out many

Mr. Hemmer and his sister, Miss Della Hemmer, keep bachelor’s hall in the superintendent’s residence north of the principal entrance to the farm. Miss Della has made a name for herself in farm bureau work, and in otherwise participating in the community interests of Warten township, in which they live, and in r. wider field. The state farm now has a population of about 1.300. contrasted with some 900 a year ago. and that increase, Mr. Hemmer says, is not due to a spreading of crime in the state hut to a desire of judges of criminal courts that the men they have to punish shall have the character-help which is given them now at the farm, rather than have these men go to penal institutions such as the state reformatory and the state penitentiary. The mp.rmer in which the character-building is brought about is in itself a theme for an interesting story. 6 The farm has many visitors from jover the country who are interested ! in correctional institutions and thc j manner of their administration.
