GREAT DANCING CENTRE
Nesg York Schools an Classic Art
Rank Among the Best.

The classic dance seems destined TO rule the
stage in the forms of entertainment to which il is
adapted for long time. Certain it is that its best
exponents command salaries almost fabulous and
that even those less skilled sure of engage
ments as long as the furore persists. The revival
of interest in this phase of entertainment has at
tracted the attention of hundreds and the dancing

With the admission oE Arizona and New Nc Nico into the Union, 1t is thought tbat 1t will be a long time before the question of statehood will again come up- There are other territories, like Alaska and Hawaii, and there are other distant possessions, such as Porto Rico, Guam and the Philippines, which have pro visional governments and where American citizenship is in a state of formation. The ISthmi- an Jone, ten miles in breadth, but with. a "zone Of influence" much wider, is national pos session and it is not improbable that owing to the ciVilizing in1n, ence incident to canal work it may at no remote day, claim ad- mission to statehood.

HOmesteadS and Conditions Of
 Residence

Any citizen who has not eXer cised his homestead right IS en titled to make a homestead entry in any uuoccupied farm unit on the project. The settler is given six months from the time of making entry to establish resi- dence. and before the end of that time he must be actually living on the ground. A title to the land cannot in any case be ac- auired before the expiration oE five years. The communication clause of the homestead law does notapplyin reclamation projects. . Under the act of February $, 1908, a person who prior to the date has made and lost one homestead entry, bat who IS otherwise qualified, may, subject to certain conditions, make a second entry. The law states that second entries will be per- mitted if the first entry was lost, forfeited or abandoned, provided the first entry was not canceled for fraud, nor abandoned nor relinquished for a consideration,
 Veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars and the Philippine msurrection are entitled to have the term of tbeiF enlistment, no' exceeding four years, dedgctee from the time necessary go prove up on a homestead under tAe reclamation act. Veterans alsc have the privilege of filing bJ proxy.

Cost Of Clearing the Land

Before new land under the government reclamation project can be cultivated 1t mast be cleared of brush and the uneven places leveled. Most of this brush can be easily broken down wish d drag. consisting III most cases of a railroad iron drawn by four horses. As a rule, the roots can be plowed out without diffi- cuIty; very little grubbmg is required, There are people im the valley who can be hired to do this work, and the cost of 1t varies from S10 to S35 per acre. The higher price applies to land which is heavily wooded and when much grubbing of stumps must be done. In such cases there is some compensation for fuel, as the wood may be dispos- ed of in town at S4 and $5 per cord

dogs from running at large m this state, says the Boston Globe, there are few fundamental facts which should not be ig- nored in legislation relating to dogs.
 lu many persons the love of dogs is as strong and ineradica- ble as the love of children. They are generally the persons who know dogs the best. If dog IS a nuisance it is the fault Of his training. A dog quickly takes on the leading traits of his mas ter's character. He is the most impressionabIe of creatures. lie responds quickly to any treat ment. Treat him "like a dog" and he will act like one. Treat him like a human being and he will quickly develop human traits. Keep him under close restraint and the brute in l.lm will be uppermost. Allow him reasonable liberty and discipline him sensibly and justly and the human in him will appear. For freedom is the soil iu which all virtues, both human and canine, thrive best.
