THE DRY FARM BILL.

The bin by Senator smoot 10 on
courage dry farming. meets with a
curious criticism from the Denver
Field & Farm
That paper says the proposed 800.
acre homestead enactment does not
strike the old-timers very favorahly.
Section three of the bill is particul
larry obnoxious. for the claim is thai
It gives the newcomers an unjust ad
vantage over the old residents. Any
homestead entryman now occupying
lands has the right to enter an addi-
tional quarter section lying contiguous
to his former entry Ia a total OF 800
acres, and residence upon and cultlva-
ton OF the original claim is to serve
as residence upon and cultivation of
the additional entry. THE law, If
passed" says the Field s. Farm.
would shut out the od-time home
steaders aud pioneers because they are
mostly already surrounded by private
holdings and could not secure any con-
tlguous lands. On the other hand an
outsider may come into a new country
and take up 800 acres OF land, not
forced TO live upon It, as were the ola
boys, and accrue just twice as much
property. Most OF the settlers who
have worked hard to bring up the
country to point where it would be
desired by later settlers. who have
weathered the most trying and crucial
years OF retaining the arid lands, feel
that they should at least be given fair
treatment and not be debarred as they
will be II the law goes through"
II the Denver paper is right In say
ing that the pioneers are already SUR
by their own holdings, they
should not be heard to complain For
they probably selected the choice To-
cations and the evidence that they
used good judgment Is the statement
that the land next to them is all
taken up. As a writer in the San
Francisco Chronicle shows. the pro-
posed new lagY,is based en- the assuulp 4
ton that all accessible land of much 1
value is gone, and that those who are
willing to take the risk of dry farm
ing should get proportionate reward
II they succeed. On account of the
necessity for summer fallow, also,
twice as much land Is required to pro-
duce given annual outturn as would
be sufficient in such land as that for
which the homestead act was originally
designed.

THE MAN AND HIS JOB
(Ry Herbert ]. HapgoodO


When the various industries recruit
their ranks each year from the array OF
college graduates. they show prefer

guided energy to guarantee them safe
transport along the road to success. The
The training they have received by
brushing up against the world in sum-
mer and short vacation periods is prob
ably more beneficial TO them than the
lectures and laboratory work accom-.
plished within the collegiate domain.
II want a chap full of energy, and
able TO see things" said a prominent
employer to me over the telephone the
other day, HE must be a college grad
uate and prove that he earned all, OF
nearly all, the expenses of his course"
This employer, I think, has the cor

willing to begin at the bottom and work
up. AS rule, the man who earns his
way through college has the stuff in
him to work his way to the top of
business. He Is full of energy and

A CHOICE VOLUME.
Josephine spencer.l

Under the title OF "a Book of
Verse" Alfred Iambourne has pub
lished another volume of poetry, uni
form in binding, form and general de-
eign with two others that have
appeared before namely "Plet' and
Holly and Easter-Lilies.' The Illus
trations which appear throughout arc
the work of personal friends of the au-
thor, consisting of his portrait done
in red chalk, by NJ. NJ. Young, title
page and inscriptions, Lee Greene
Richards, and Illustrative designs,
James T, Harwood and Lee Greene
Richards.
All these are artistically con-
celved and wrought, and aid in the
general attractiveness of the book
The poetry consists of two divisions
entitled Three Seasons Flowers and
"Cicadas In Home, Sweet Home and
under the first, Mr.. Iambourne has
given expression to some beautiful
descriptive verse of flowers. the lilac
and the rose, in which sentiment and
Imagination blend in lines as delicate
and fanclful in places as those OF
Keats. A verse in "Lilacs" reads
thus.
What line shall this exquisiteness

the cell,
A hidden glow. like vermeil hues that
rest
Deep. in the cold heart of tropia
she'll"
And again.

The cause OF transports sent into
our time?
These lilacs seem as from a garden
cast,
Which nourished once within the
happy prime.
20 what the secret that these bios
Which they unto the primal purpose
o, what the occult life these leaves
unfold
From golden age that antedated
woe?
"Ah, quick; all, quick; my irised visions
fade,
My drealnland palace all in ruin lies,
With you, oh, lilacs, have backward
strayed
To May of youth, and April-weeping
skies"
Mr.. Lambourne pays a beautiful tri-
butte TO the rose, among the choice
verses being this:
Upon the roses splendor let me gloat,
or OH fond lips now waste my heart
in signs;
Loves fullness throbs and bubbles at
the throat,
The sweets of life are mine in rich
est guise."
Like true artist Mr. Lambourne
has invested his verse with values Wis
ual and occult, in touches Of color
ranging from hues of oriental richness
TO. delicate gradations of tone in
lighter thoughts. There are ideas
etched IN dim browns, others in ether
ial water tints and again flowing in
oriental hues as rich as Omar's, and
throughout no unsightly splashes mar

Among the verses which stand out in
"Clcades' the latter poem, are these:

one had thrown quid of tobacco on
it and it had stuck.
