LECTURERS AND MOVING PICTURE FILMS

been awarded the space We sought
both at the Chicago and Omaha land
shows this fall.
Room for Lecture Halls Provided.
AT the Chicago exposition, which
is under the direction of the United
States Land and Irrigation Exposition
company, We will have the largest
space of any single exhibitor. Room
for two lecture halls has been bought
and In these we want every town, city
\ and community along our lines in
Colorado to be represented. The
space is free to all who signify an in
tention Of using it. =
At the Omaha Land Show the Union
Pacific will also have large exhibit,
and the management of the Show will
provide adequate facilities for lectur-
ers. Both of these shows. appealing
as they do to progressive and in
telligent people, many of whom are
giving serious study to the question of
moving further West where they can
better their present condition, furnish
fine field for exhibiting the wonder
full resources of Colorado.
by that l mean this: Every town,
big or little, along our lines has many
advantages, and We want the hun
dreds of thousands of persons who
will visit these land shows in search
of new homes to be told of those ad-
vantages. 1t is up to the people of
Colorado to do this. Let them send US
lecturers to these land shows, and we
will put before them crowds of men
and women eager to hear of opportuni-
ties to better themselves, We will
have stereopticon and moving picture
machines in charge of trained opera
tors, and these men will throw on the
screens the pictures provided by our
towns. With truthful array of facts
and figures the men who make these
addresses cannot fail to draw thou
sands to Colorado.
Money Given Will Return.
The move to advertise Colorado is,
or should be, the primary business of
every man and woman who lives in
the state. 1t means dollars to them to
draw new people, here. The merchant
will profit by the business he will re
ceive from the new settlers, the farm
ers will profit by the increased values
Of farm lands. due to the greater de-
mand and the larger crops that will be
grown under intensified methods, and
the laboring man will benefit by the
higher wages due to a greater demand
for his labor. .
For that reason all should do their
part toward paying the expenses of
the advertising. II all will give what
they can to the commercial clubs or
the community heads Of the towns,

Irrigation Engineering Use OF
Barlap on the Irrigation Lateral

A newly made lateral, with loose
earth embankment on the lower side,
is very easily damaged should the
water be turned out over the soft
banks successfully. Water may be
diverted over these loose earth em-
bankments if piece of burlap or
canvas is made fast to one end on the
inside of the lateral and the other end
to fall outside. This will serve to pro-
tect the banks and, as the water is
flowing out, its weight will hold the
burlap in place.
If your lateral seems to cut badly
in the bottom at any place, you may
be able to greatly reduce this by
taking burlap and lining the bottom
and sides. The burlap can best be held
in place by several slender stakes
driven in the bottom and sides on the
lateral
If your embauknent slips out caus-
ing break, this may be successfully
closed by using small burlap sacks filed

devices, the like of which had not been,
and are not manufactured by any other
concern. The list includes the clean.

can be seen that the factory's growth
has been phenomenal, and at the

clutes four and a quarter acres, but
as yet the factory does not utilize the
entire ground space. Its six bui' d.
ings, Just completed, have 10000
square feet Of floor space and are so
located that the track facilities for
freight are adequate. The
buildings include a foundry Sox100
feet; cupola room, 20x3o feet; core
room, 20x3o feet; mill room, 30x45
feet; machine shop, 60x75 feet, and
heating and pumping plant, 25x4O feet.
The machinery. which is being
placed in readiness, is the most mod
ern in every respect, making possible
an economical and systematic han
ding of the work. Individual motors
are attached to each machine. Every
thing is being done to make the plant
convenient for the workmen. Indi-
vidual lockers and shower baths will
be installed
FOR PRESENT so MEN.
For the present, 80 men will be en-
plcyed in the plant work rooms and
within a short time the number Will
be increased by half. j. j. Croft, for
several years assistant superintendent
of the Red jacket Manufacturing coEl-
rany of Davenport, will have the su-
pervision Of the plant. He has been
with the local company for over a
year and has acquired a thorough
knowledge of the work. He is a man
who has had considerable experience
and is counted as one of the valuable
assets Of the concern.
To introduce their product through
out the country, the company has six
travelling salesmen who are demon
strating TIE articles in all of the prin-
cipal cities of this country. Their
work is next in importance to that of
the manufacture. The company's de-
vices are better than anything else
| that has been put on the market, but
in the plumbing business 1t is not an
easy matter to arrange for new depart
ures, no matter what their value City
ordinances govern the kind of devices
to be used, and in order to test their
value, trials lasting many months and
many times more than a year, must
be gone through. If successful, city
ordinances are changed to favor the
new device.
ADOPTED IN MANY CITIES.
Thus far, hundreds of cities in this
country have adopted the clean-out
and floor drain devices, and it ha.
been introduced with success into the
Dominion of Canada. In the Philip
pine islands, the number in use il
large. The United States government
stamped its approval on the devices
for the islands, and the demand fol
them is extensive. In New York City
the concern mas a branch house which
will be used as a warehouse and dis

a distributing point in New ORLEANS
are being considered.

Lebanon, Nov. Ex-Governor De-

to McKendree college of this city.
Farmers of Illinois may now have
soil analysed and treatment prescrib-

pertinent station does not analyze
soil for private persons, so that the
McKendree laboratory should prove
of great value to Illinois farmers.
1t will be in operation about Jan. l.,

in agriculture in McKendree college
bids fair to become one of the most
popular educational factors in this
section of the state. 1t is the first
course of it's kind ever given in
southern Illinois. The course will
be held the first two weeks in jan
