KeOEuk Dam IL a Greater One.
And still the works at keokuk are
more wonderful than those at AssOuan,
as to the work they are doing in the
industrial world. The AssOUan dam is
an irrigation proposition. It has ad-
ded a million and a half acres of till
able land to the Nile valley and has
created a property worth many mill
lions. The KeOkuk dam is a power
plant. 1t is a creator of working
force, and when the whole plant IS
completed it viii have cost $25, 100000.
It will then have a potentially equal

In addition to the electric plant It
self, the keOkuk Power company, as
a compensation to the United states
for the use of the river. has, according
to its contract with the government,
built here a lock canal, and a dry
dock for the use of the public The
canal enables river vessels of all sizes
to pass up and down the stream, and

ward making a satisfactory home

In this material age and plane OF

Worry Bad for Happiness
There can be little happiness or
contentment where there is worry over

out every impulse toward beauty and

But this talk is not meant for the
men burdened with such anxieties.
It is meant for the myriads of
men in comfortable homes, whose
wives move in cultured circles ana

your wife?
If you are leaving her to find pleas
ure with her friends, providing her
with a motor car, and freedom to
come and so as she pleases. perhaps
II might be well for you to investi-
gate a little further.
Motor cars and freedom sometimes
lead TO 10y riding with men whose
occupation lies in this line. 1t is
all very innocent at first; but famil-
iarity breeds contempt of cOnven-
tiOns, and the wife whose husband

and gives steady flow for the crea-
ton of power the year through. The
dammlng was made possible by the
nature Of the valley at this point. Here
the bluffs that wall the river are clos
er than at any other point in its entire
length, and the cOnfiguratiOn Of the
valley is such that the waters can be
held back without OVERLOOKING thOus-

At the same time they give a fall

OF the mississippi come down at times

nected with dynamOs which generate

thus made go flying over. great cop

This, in q nutshell, IS what damming
the Mississippi means
And now as to the dam and the
works I have seen something of the
great dams Of the world. I nave
tramped through the great locks at
Panama, and watched the construction
of the mighty dam at Gatun. The
locks are Of concrete and earth. 1
have seen the great dam at AssOuan,
IUU miles above the MeQlCerrane2 can,
which holds back the Nile. and gives
Egypt a regular water supply through
out the year. That dam is built of
granite, laid in cement. 1t is only
about a third again as long as this
dam at KeOkuk. which is made of con-
crete, and its construction is just
about the same. Both dams look like
great stone v5adUcts built across the
river Each is a wall through which
great sluices are cut allowing the river
TO flow through or to be held back

In the AssOUan dam the water never
flows over the top, but through the
gates and through a canal at the side.
When the gates are closed enough
water is held back to form lake 40
miles long and the amount of water
thus held weighs more than one thou
sand million tons. At 100 tons to the
car it would take nearly 10000, 600 cars
to carry that water, and if you loaded
