C|TESpROGRESS
|NRECLAMAT|ON
Mead Reports Projects Now
Nearer Than Ever to
Business Basis.

The various Federal reclamation
projects now are more nearly on a
business basis than ever before in
their history, says DR.. Elwood Mead,
commissioner of reclamation, in his
annual report submitted today to Sec
retary of the Interior Work.
Time of payments has been extend
ed so that the farmers will be better
able to endure temporary hard times
and old debts, which they considered
unjust, have been wiped out alto
Sether. DIR. Mead says there is a
better spirit among the settlers than
he has ever observed before.
The commissioners report shows
that the total value of crops grown
in 1925 on irrigated lands, furnished
in whole or in part from Government
irrigation works, was $131 900. 600,
compared with $4,000, 900 in 1924. an
increase of 100000. Total pay
mentS from water users to the Recla-
nation Bureau increased from $3,-
SSH 900 in 1924 To $4.454 5000 during
the fiscal year of 1925, a gain of
S643. 200.
The report announced that an in
tensiye settlement campaign had been
made on the Belle Fourche project, in
South Dakota. and the Lower Vel
lowstone projct, in Montana North
Dakota. Both of these projects need
settlers who will be good farmers. If
a considerable acreage of the unoccu-
pied or unirrigated lands on these
projects can be settled with the right
type of farmers by the beginning of
the next irrigation season, it will have
placed the two Federal reclamation
projects on a sound financial footing
and pointed the way to similar de-
velopment on other projects.
Under an appropriation of $4,000
plans were being made for n prelimi
nary survey of opportunities iii the
Southern States for planned rural
community development, report on
which will be made TO Congress at the
coming session.

SOCIETY AUTHORS
INDULGE IN SATIRE
Depict Hostess Who Stalks
Literary Lion and Buys
Books for Display.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE So
ciety hostess now buys books for dis
play rather than to read, but she
reached her apex of dignity in the
Victorian days by draping plano legs
with pantaloous, in the opinion of two
society authors who are holding mir
rors Of their own creation up to the
400 in books just published.
The authors are Miss Helen
Walker, a member of the Junior
League and of the New York bar,
who is presenting Mrs. .Chase-Lyon'
and who satirizes the hostess who
stalks the literary lion, and Samuel H.
OrdWay, jr., son of former Justice
Ordway and himself a lawyer, who
satirizes society in general in a
volume entitled Elegant History of
New York Society for Young Persons
of Quality"
Talks of "EnIightened" Folk.
Mr. Ordway, in outlining his SUBJ
ject, traces society from it's early days
as IAN enlightened band of aristoc-
racy" to today, when he terms it "a
fiction of the press agents."
THE vanity of the matron of the
Victorian era was such that, fearing
their own natural charms might be
overlooked in drawing rooms adorned
with classic art, they took to draping
their statuary in lace aprons, and
some even-the apex of dignity
placed pantaloons upon the legs OF
their pianos"
Mr.. Ordway while at Harvard was
an editor of the Lampoon and upon
graduating from the university pub
lished a volume called Little Goldfish
Cabot at Harvard"

At the Shrine hospital for crippled children in Chicago they say that life still holds chance of happiness for Leedy Curl. thanks to the efforts of the Forty and Eight of the Ameri- can Legion. aided by the Mystic Shrine. The Forty and Eight employed the resources of its national organization to lift the crushing burden of misfor- tune which fate had heaped on the little girl, and the Shrine opened It's hospital to her.
 Leedy was sent to Chicago recently from her home in Palatka, Fla, after the Forty and Eight had taken up her case. She Is the first crippled child to obtain hospital treatment through the Legion, although orphans of many former service men have been cared for in the Legion children's billets.
 Leedy now Is eleven years old Her misfortunes began when she was baby An accident injured her so she could not walk
 Not long after the accident her fa- ther took the crippled child in his arms and kissed her good-by. He went to France to fight in a war Leedy was too young to know anything about. But she was not too young to pay part of that wars terrific cost. Her father was killed.
 A few months ago the final misfor- tune overlook the child. Her mother, who had struggled along bravely since the dread notification came from the War department. wearied of the fight and found rest in the arms of death.
 The little girl was left alone but not friendless. The American Legion post of Palatka gave her every care within it's power. But hospital treatment was needed. and the Forty and Eight" came forward.
 Through James Edward White, then chef de gare Of yoiture 900 in Chiea- go and d member of the Legions na- tional child welfare committee, per mission was obtained to have the child admitted to the Shrine hospital for treatment. Leedy was rushed north accompanied by Mrs. Dorothy Barthol- omew. treasurer of the American Le- zion auxiliary. department of Florida. Her train was met in Chicago by large delegation Of Legionnaires and Shriners, who escorted her to the hos pital.
 Physicians said that long treatment would be necessary for Leedy.
