~ HE convention of the National Drain
age Association recently held In
- Baltimore, was a notable gathering
In more than one respect. 1t was attended
by representatives of most of the states
and large cities of the local drainage asso-
ciations and the agricultural colleges. The
propose of the Association Is to further
the great enterprise of swamp reclamR-
tion and TO stimulate the Government to
action In the matter. In a small way,
drainage has been practised In many To-
calities during the past century, but in
it's larger features the work is such that
1t can only be carried to a successful
conclusion by the national government,
with its vast resources and legislative
power. Many interstate questions are in
volved that could not be satisfactorily
settled in any other way.
The people at large--and even those OF
the sections most directly interested
haYe not half awakened to the great i'm
portnnce of swamp drainage and the
enormous results to be derived from it,
Although the scarcity of land is already
beginning to be felt, Few have any sus-
piciou of what it will be In the next gene
ration unless we provide in this for an
extension Of our agricultural areas. There
Is practically no more public land avail
able for settlement and the greater por-
ton Of the cultivable territory In the
country is In tilth. 1t is true that the
Reclamation Service Is, by irrigation.

is estimated that 10000 acres Of our
arid territory can be reclaimed during
the next twenty-five years and 1t is cal
culably possible to save about the same
extent Of swamps in the same time, pro-
vided that the work is undertaken by the
Government and pushed with the vigor
that has characterized the former opera
tions.
Reclamation by drainage may be pur-
sued with much greater profit than that
by irrigation. The average cost Of effect
ing the latter Is about $50 per acre,
whilst experts estimate that drainage win

average. Furthermore. the swamp areas

r FOUND Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans,--distinctly the 'man of the
hour''-spending a brief vacation In
his historic old home in Washington. To
the naval officer who has house Of his
own, a place that he can really call home,
there Is nothing that spells keener enjoy
ment than a little interval of home cook
ing and few nights sleep in a full-size
bed and such respite is doubly welcome
when 1t is sandwiched In between pro-
longed intervals Of sea service. In the
case OF the eyer-energetic Admiral Evans,
however, the feeting vacation was in
sense an enforced one. There was re-
beliious tooth that demanded attention
ere It's owner passed out of the range Of
American dentists and an equally trou-
blesome foot that needed nursing.
1t is in home surroundings that the
kindly side Of Admiral Evans natur-
shines out. A considerable portion of the
public that has never come in contact
with the man, mentally pictures Eight
ing Bob as a gruff, lusty-voiced, swash-
buckling sort of a man. Now this is
wholly erroneous conception. To be sure
when 1t comes to a scrimmage or any
emergency requiring quick action Admiral
Evans is rough and ready from the word
go, but in private life he is genial, com
panionable, mild-mannered and soft-voiced.
Very much Of a diplomat too, is this YER
satile sailor, else how could he have kept
in unvarying high favor with three or
four different Presidents to say nothing
OF becoming the boon companion Of the
Kaiser and modifying the Japanese.
Another popular fallacy is quickly pune
tured by peep inside his quaint old
fashioned home under the shadow of the
United States Capitol. Because the pub

A French paper assert that American
girls have purchased titles at a cost of
5000, 900, 900. The only consoling thought
is that they have not brought their
dearly purchased husbands to this side
of the pond to infiict them upon us.
