MILLIONS OF ACRES
STILL UNCLAIMED
Swamp and So-Called Arid
Lands Could Support
a Nation.

There are in the United States $1,000
90 acres of swamp land which can be
drained and which will be as arabic as
a garden when il is drained
This swamp land would provide homes
for and support 10000, 600 persons. There
are in the United States millions upon
millions OF arid and semiarid lands
which irrigation could make and is
making very fertile. These lands viii
support 1900 coo households, or twice
the population of New York State.
There are what may be called the
Lost Lands lands lost 10 the public
through fraud; lands lost 10 the public
through lack of knowledge OF how 10
handle their peculiar formation. Only
70 per cent OF Uncle Sans lands are
yielding living averages What Of the

DISORDERLY CONDUCT
Policeman Says Three Men and One Maid Is Too
Much Competition. and Superiors Seem
to Think So, Too

NEW YORK, June 24.-Three young
men and a girl sat on a bench in Cen
trail Park playing a game which should
speedily become very popular The OBJ
Jet was TO see how often each man
could kiss the pretty miss. The girl
was Helen Powers, nineteen years old,
a nurse living in Greenwich, Conn. one
of the young men was James White,
sixteen years old, Of 1910 Lexington
avenue.
The bench was just outside of the ten
mis- courts, and Patrolman Warren Of
the Arsenal station found the quartet
One of the men was draped over the
back of the bench and with the skill
of a contortionist was bending over
smacking the nurse on the lips, cheeks
and neck To the right Of the target
was another player and on the left was
White.
The volley of smacks disturbed the
officer. He announced there was too
much competition and that some of the
players would have TO quit. One OF
them took Miss Powers face in his
hands, kissed her seventeen or eighteen
times and, declaring he was satisfied,
left. The man sitting on the back or
the bench then moved around TO the
vacant space and started IN. White

The characters resemble Egyptian
