Interior Department Issues Warning

~ COMPLAINTS have been received
" from settlers on reclamation pro-
jects that by reason Of the misrepre-
sentations of land agents they have
been induced to purchase lands which
were afterward found to be without
any rights to water from the govern
ment canals. The secretary Of the in
terror issued warning which, while
it refers particularly to the Rio Grande
project in New Mexico and Texas, Is
equally applicable to other projects
containing large areas Of private lands
"All persons are warned against ac-
cepting any statements concerning
this project without inquiry from the
officers Of the reclamation service. Ex-
perience has shown that some warning
of this kind Is necessary because mis-
leading statements have been issued
regarding the project and the condi-
tions existing upon it.
"In particular, attention is directed
to the requirements of the reclamation
act regarding residence and cultiva-
ton. The act prescribes that no right
to the use of water for land in private
ownership shall be sold for tract ex-
ceeding 100 acres to any one land own

WASHINGTON.-The value OF farm
w land per acre in the north central
states has practically doubled in the
last ten years, according to bulletin
issued by the census bureau. The to.
tai value Of farm lands and buildings
in the division has increased from less
than S1O.00O.0O0 in 1900 to more than
100000 in 1910. while the number
of farmers has increased only a frac-
tion OF one per cent
More than two-thirds of the farmers
in the section own their own farms,
while more than half these owners
have their land free from mortgage A
slight decrease from 1900 is shown in
the number OF owners, while the ten.
ant farmers have increased by more
than twenty per cent A significant
feature Of the bulletin is the indication
given that the older states Of the sec
tion are decreasing in agricultural i'm.
portance, presumably owing to In
creases in urban manufacturing popu-
lations.
The total amount of land included
in farms in 1910 was reported as 34s,.
$4,000 acres, as compared with 317,-
34s, 900 acres in 1900, an increase of
32,613,0 900 acres, or ten per cent This
important increase is largely due to
the extension Of agricultural activities
into western North and South Dakotas,

How DR.. Graham Bell Keeps Away Heat

n URING the recent heat waves, cost
~ ing in six days 120 lives in New
York city alone, DR.. Alexander Gra-
ham Bell, the inventor Of the tele-
phone, stocked up the ice stove, his
newest invention, in his Washington
home, and felt quite comfortably cool
while others were sweltering in an at
mosphere from which there appeared
to be no prospects Of relief Doctor
Bell is not going to patent his ice
stove. Now that he has given 1t a
thorough test and is satisfied that It is
practical, he says everybody is at lib
erty to make and use the invention in
any way that may seem desirable or
beneficial.
Doctor Bells ice stove is the exact
opposite Of the ordinary coal furnace.
While the latter consumes coal and
radiates heat to keep up the tempera-
ture, the former consumes ice and ra-
dates cooling waves of air to keep It
down.
On the ground floor of Doctor Bells
Washington residence is what was
once a swimming tank. Having been
built to hold water, it can safely be
depended upon to hold cold air. 1t is
a well known fact that cold air is
heavier than warm air Everybody has
noticed that when a window is opened
in a room in cold weather the feet feel
the cold first This is because the
admitted cold air has fallen to the
floor. So If cold air was poured into
the ordinary room it would flow out

the antennae necessary to establish
communication.
The real purpose Of the recent great
assemblage of troops in Texas, aside
from international considerations, was
the creation of one tremendous mill
tary unit, and that was successfully ac.
complished for the first time since the
Civil war, in the opinion of Major Gen
eral Carter, the commander in chief Of
the maneuver division.
Five times the cost Of this operation
would not measure the value to the
country of the experiment, declared
General Carter. 1t was the first oppor.
tunity that the modern army had to
get together all branches Of the serv.
ice-the infantry, the cavalry, the artil'
lery, the transportation and subsist
ence departments-and to make q
thorough test of what had been purely
theoretical estimates Of the proper bal
ance between them.
This problem was worked out by the
test of actual practice, and General
Carter feels that when he left Texas
there had been brought into being the
perfect military unit which had been
SO long desired by army strategists.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-09-08

THE military value of the cavalry
/ branch has been enormously in
creased by the adoption Of wireless
telegraphy, for the first time in this
country thoroughly tried out in the
Texas maneuvers.
The signal corps had devised an ex-
tremely light and portable wireless ap-
paratus, easily carried on the back of
a horse and capable Of being put into
operation from any point in the field
within a few minutes 1t was found
that the messages could be readily re-
ceived when the cavalry detachment
was anywhere within twenty-five miles
of receiving station, a fact which
added greatly to the value of the cav
airy in its scouting capacity. A light
collapsible steel mast, not much larger
than fishing rod, served to support

er, and that no such sale shall be made
to any land owner unless he be an &C
tual bona-fide resident on such land or
occupant thereof, residing in the
neighborhood of said land.
1T also is required that the land
owner shall reclaim at least one-hali
Of the total irrigable area of his land
for agricultural purposes before any
right to the use of water shall perma
nently attach.
1T is not known how many years
will be required for the construction Of
the storage dam, nor is it safe to make
predictions as to when water will be
available in view Of the many uncer
tainties existing. Warning also is
given that the amount Of available wa
ter power has been grossly exaggerat-
ed in many current discussions"

RENEWED INTEREST IN LIFE
Something Really Happened at Rseep-
tlon, and Old Attendant 10
Encouraged.

The guests at Mrs. Arthur Mixes
tea yesterday afternoon detected an
odor of something burning. They
looked at each other knowingly and
said: Poor Mrs. Nike, something is
burning up in the kitchen" But the
odor grew stronger. and at last one
woman said: 1T smells as though
feathers are burning" Then sudden
ly one woman screamed: mrs. Chal-
llss. look at your hati" Sure enough.
Mrs. Jim Challis had been standing
near a lighted candle, and the aigrette
on her hat was on nre.
The guests had a great time putting
out the fire. The aigrette was what
the insurance men call a total loss,
An Atchison woman who has gone to
thousands of receptions says the burn
ing of the aigrette yesterday is the
FIRST time she ever knew anything to

has given up going because nothing

over again.-Atohison Globe.

under doors and through floor cracks
wherever 1t could find them.
In addition to the old swimming
tank, which Doctor Bell has fitted up
as a study, with easy chair, couch and
table and books, the inventor needed
an apparatus for supplying cold air to
the tank. This was a simple matter. A
large ice box was constructed and into
this about 200 pounds Of ice are fed
twice every week. Air pipes lead into
the ice box and other pipes convey the
chilled air into the inventors study.
the flow being regulated by an electric
fan.
While the president Of the United
States, judges Of the supreme court,
ambassadors, legislators and others
were sweltering with the thermometer
at 80 degrees and above Doctor Bell
sat in his study, where the tempera
ture never rose above 65 degrees. In
fact, he could have made the tempera
ture much lower than that simply by
turning on the electric fan a little
more, but Doctor Bell regards So de-
grees as the ideal degree of heat and
cold for the wellbeing of man.
