Cost of Government Irrigation.

At one time it was thought that
land in the west could be irrigated for
$500 per acre and the highest figure
was calculated at sS.l5 for private
works. Later it was ascertaincd that
government irrigation would cost
$1,000 an acre and now the interior de-
partment has made statement that
it will cost &21 ,000,O00.h0 to rri5ate

For wide awake young business men,

magazine studies are eminent in their
respective fields OF work. Two brake
men took the course together--onc

Sometimes it was hard work, but they
say "for the help it is to us, we kept
at it,"
Hundreds Of busy fathers and moth

times seem to be growing away from
them, have turned to the Chnutauqua
plan of study for help, and have writ
ten gratefully OF its influence in their
homes.
A mother told me that she and her
son took the course together in order
that she might help fit him for college.
They both received their diplomas
with seals for outside work, such as ar
ticles read out of other magazines, ed
itorials, other books on the same sub
ject, papers written for literary clubs,
missionary programs, bible study, etc.
For the bible read through, or bible
course under the Institute OF Sacred
Literature, a golden seal is added to
the c, l.. S. G. diplomas. This young
son told his mother that had he not
taken the Chautuuqua course he never
could have entered college; he found
the books the best for reference in his
studies OF any others.
Young people employed in stores and
factories, busy all day, have found
that they could spare twenty minutes
a day for the G. Z. S. &. They have
discovered that the lofty thoughts of
great writer's could lift them above the
WEAKNESS Of the days routine, and the
stories of heroic achievements as told
in the pages Of the Chautauduan in
spire them to put forth their best
powers.
To busy teachers, much of whose
work is limited to special fields of
study, the Chautanqua course taken as
a means of recreation opens up new
avenues of interest, and ii they wish
TO substitute some special book for one

Many Women's clubs make use OF
the regular and special courses OF the
c.. L. S. c. and find that the programs,
bibliographes, search and review
questions, and topics for papers, ena-
bic them to use the resources of their
local libraries TO the very best advan-
tage.
Many clubs have dropped their
former studies and are now taking the
G. L. S. G. course, as they have discov-
cred it to be the Mother Reading
Course. After they have secured their
diplomas they will resume the others
