Excellent Viewpoint Provided Stuff
cIent for Thousands Who
Come to Visit the
Works.

While the building OF the greatest
water-power in the world here in the
Mississippi river has become the at
traction for thousands OF visitors, the
number one Sunday reaching 1000, it
has been found necessary to regulate
the passage OF SO many people into
the works. But Chief Engineer Coop
er has done this without in the least
curtailing the pleasure Of the public
which is welcomed to the works on
Sundays.
On that day Of the week, the people
enter the works by crossing the upper
gates OF the government lock. Pass
Ing the machine shop. they find an
easy stairway which leads them high
into the air to the top of the colossal
lock. Here the whole works is spread
ont before them at a height sufficient
TO enable It all to be seen in detail.
The arched spans OF the great dam
progressing from the Illinois bluff,
the massive basement of the power
house already about three city blocks
long. half block wide and the equal

mammoth lock SURPRISING any one

wall stretching along the iowa shore
every detail OF these is easily Wis
ible to several thousand people at one
time from the solid concrete espla-
made which the top Of the west wall
of the great lock forms.

sheltered place. When the alfalfa
starts they come out and begin lay
ing eggs within a few days. These
eggs naucn IN seven to sixteen days
and the other changes in the life Of
the insect follow. The insects cut
holes or Sits in the alfalfa stems, or
at the base of the leaves where they
lay the eggs, and this cutting and
gouging ruins the plant, and in many
cases this means loss of from 40 to
90 per cent OF the crop. The young
insects also feed on the plants and do
great damage.
The insects are worse where the al
falfa is left a long time without re
plowing and seeding. In Utah, where
irrigation is given, the alfalfa fields
sometimes stand 80 or more years,
and these old fields are badly affect
ed. In the east where alfalfa will
probably be used as part Of long ro-
tation it is not likely that the insect
will do great damage. In Utah meas
ures for fighting the insect have in

In the great arid regions, a fall OF
rain was the most unusual thing in the
world. Some places have gone &c
years without a drop; though that, in

of these rare wet spells came, all sorts
of unexpected flowers and plants
sprung up from the soil. Their seed
had lain dormant awaiting the favor

wonderfully. In other sections, where
the cattle ranged, other men had dis,

In an address before the Hamilton
club of Chicago on irrigation, Mr.
R. Isinger of Spokane, Wash, made
the following statements
Irrigation invariably means in
tensive cultivation, and this in turn
means larger crops. Through the
use of smaller tracts the country dis
tricts become so thickly populated
they resemble suburbs of large cities;
but there is no congestion, nor Is
there the menace of an underfed
poorly housed population. 1t means
the ideal farm village, lighted by
electricity, furnished with domestic
water through pipes, good roads, rural
mail delivery, telephones, automobiles
trolley lines and other modern con
veniences. 1t means union of the
social features of town and the health

some one has well said, the disap
pearance of "lonesomeness,' without
the worse evil of overcrowding.

SUCCESS FOR HOSTESS.
LITTLE MATTERS IN WHICH TACT
COUNTS FOR MUCH.
Choose Your Guest az You Would
shoes, Because They Fk-Learn
the Art Of Switching the
Conversation,

You may have a dinner with the
best appointment and cuisine, and il
your guests are badly chosen the din
ner will be social failure.
Certain elements will not coalesce.
and the woman who tries to force the
process Is courting an explosion.
Choose guests as you would shoes
because they At.
You may be catholic in your taste
and enjoy the butterfly without a
brain and the woman who is all brain
without social grace, the artist or
musician, the snob who distrusts all
the clever coterie, the man who loves
gay story and the woman who is
easily shocked.
But gather those friends around a
common board and you may count on
their boredom.
II you must have a mixed dinner,
pray for tact in the seating. "A man
cares what he eats, a woman cares
whom she sits next"
Never seat your guests according to
social position. The practice makes
neither the dinner nor the hostess
popular. If you put the socially unim-
portant together, your entertaining
will never be success.
Custom has it that those who sit on
the right and left of the host and host
ess may feel themselves singled out
for attention-but choose for reasons.
DO not give your guests a chance to
g1be at you as money worshipper or
one with an axe to grind.
Do not have dinners so large as to
prevent general conversation. Not all
who go out to dinner are blessed with
manners, and the hostess should have
it in her power to go to the rescue of
the guest who is neglected by her
neighbors.
Nor should your dinners be long or
heavy. The day of dozens of courses
is past; the most brilliant diner-out
hnds 1t hard to shine when eating
through an over-elaborate menu.
Learn the art Of switching the con-
versation. Many a dinner is wrecked
because the hostess does not know
to stop an argument that is verging
on controversy, and has not the So
clal sense to scent dangerous topics
Dr sidetrack the bore.
Encourage brilliancy and gayety,
but keep a sharp watch for wit that
st1ngs and jokes that tend to license.

LITTLE SWEET BOX
Easily Made and Its Usefulness
Will Commend It to the
Housekeeper.

A sweet box" has become an insti.
tuition In our family. 1t consists of
stout cardboard box, lined with
sheet OF wadding generously sprinkled
with a favorite sachet powder. The
wadding is glued over the top edge,
thus making the cover fit tightly. It
contains two or three loose, very
sweet sachets. Any little gift or bit
OF work, if laid away for day or
two in the sweet box with sachet
between it's folds, comes out delicious
ly perfumed. All through the year we
find many things are sweetened that
would not be, were it necessary to
hunt up or buy sachet powder each
time.
