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
1t 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 &C
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 q tract ex-
ceeding 100 acres to any one land own

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 departm ments-and to make a
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.

lXY ASHINGTON.-The value of farm
w land per acre in the north central
states has practically doubled in the
last ten years, according to a bulletin
issued by the census bureau. The to-
tai value of farm lands and buildings
in the division has increased from less
than $10,000,000 in 1900 to more than
$2O,000,000 in 1910, while the number
of farmers has increased only a frac-
ton 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 349,-
962,0O acres, as compared with 317,-
349,000 acres in 1900, an increase Of
32,613,0 900 acres, or ten per cent. This
important increase is largely due to

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 it 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 swimming tank. Having been
built to hold water, 1t can safely be
depended upon to hold cold air. 1t is
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 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

that the messages could be readily re-
ceived when the cavalry detachment
was anywhere within twenty-five miles
of receiving station, fact which
added greatly to the value of the cav
airy in it's scouting capacity. A light
collapsible steel mast, not much larger

"A been fought; once more New
York was the objective, and like
wise once more New York is safe.
The war game, now such a fixed
institution in both the army and the
navy and always of great value to the
professional and the layman, serves
with every repetition to assure the
country that the measure of safety Sc
cured by the enormous expenditure of
the last twenty-five years is assur-
ing. and in all probability all that the
most saguine claim for it.
This time it was purely naval
game. The army did not participate
except that the range and power or
gun fire from the coast Notifications
involved in the theater of war were
taken into account as factors, and
have had their weight in the theoret-
ical defense of the country. But the
active forces were wholly naval, and
all credit for what was accomplished
goes to that arm of the military estab-
HShment.
The idea of testing the training and
attainments of the army and navy by
problems and sham battles is one
that has for its primary purpose the
actual test of men and systems, but
beyond that the more important pur
pose is to demonstrate more and more
the field of effort for improvement
both in material and personnel.
In real war the problem for the
United States would at once assume
different proportions from these sue
