Harvesting the Waters.
This is another big scheme, bills in
the aid of which are now before Con-
greSs. The GOvernme nt scientists are
testing the matter, and they have col
lected a vast deal Of new information.
This project includes the water powers
which the experts say are equal to
sixtv million horses, or twice enough
to run every mill, drive every train
and light every house in the country.
This power can be increased to two
hundred mill ons. Much Of it comes
from waterfalls controlled by the Gov
eminent, the concession of which the
trusts are trying to get.
A part Of this same scheme is the
development Of our rivers. We have
295 of them in the United States, with
navigabie waters long enough to en-
circle the globe. The great lakes are
the busiest freight routes upon earth,
and boats can so on the Mississippi

Doubling Our Farms.
When our T~orefathers took posses

whole of the land belonged to the
Government. Year by year these pub

than fourteen hundred mill ms Of
acres have been sold or set aside as
reservations and there are compare

Sam, patriarch, is at work upon
schemes which will practically double
our farms. He is testing the, soil

All II IL "oI(ils
These new movements are along q
hundred different lines, and hey en-
brace every part Of our country from
ocean to ocean and from the great
lakes to the gulf. They affect every
branch Of business, every grade Of
society, and every man. woman and
child. The schemes involve an pen
diture of hundreds Of millions, and
some will add billions to our Ma
6ional wealth, Let me mention a few
OF them.

Sam has $50, 900, 900 in hand to water
the deserts, and his reclamation fund
for our arid lands is fast approximate
ing a hundred millions or more. He
is tunneling the mountains, damming
the streams and carrying the waters
in fumes over the canyons. He has
more than 1900 miles Of canals al
ready dug. The Roosevelt dam alone
will redeem q quarter Of a million
acres n there are thirty-four other
projects, each OF which will reclaim
thousands. All that land is to be set
aside for his American children, and
any n who applies can have forty
acres OF it for the asking. I shall tell
you what those lands are worth. and
how you may get them.

Who Owns the Falkland Islands ?

Few people are aware to this day
chat the Falkland islands are marked
in all Argentine maps and Biographies
as "unlawfully retained by Great Brit
ain" The origin of the dispute was
that England after abandoning the
islands In 17T4 resumed possession In
1920. The Argentine government pro-
tested and, as A. Stuart Pennington
points out In his book on the country.
is even today careful to do nothing
which could even apparently recognize
the rights of the present possessors."
1t was for that reason that 1t declined
a proposal few years ago to run a
line of Argentine ships to the islands.
