Farmers Wanted.
Three thousand practical far¬
mers are wanted who would like
to own homes of their own. The
government has nearly 200,000
acres of land lying under the var¬
ious irrigation projects through¬
out the West for which water will
be available next season. The
farm unit on these projects var¬
ies in most cases from 40 to 60
acres of irrigable laud, depending
upon location. In many sections
a tract of grazing land has been
iuclnded in the farm unit wher¬
ever practicable, bringing the to¬
tal up to 160 acres.
The only charge for these farms,
besides the regular laud office fee
for filing, is the actual cost of
getting water to them, and pay¬
ment may be made in ten annual
installments, without interest.
These irrigation projects are
scattered over the entire arid re¬
gion from Canada to the Mexican
liue. In consequence, every va¬
riety of crop grown in the tem¬
perate zone can be raised under
them. If you would like a fruit
or dairy farm, a garden for mar¬
ket truck, a tract for diversified
farming, hog or poultry raising,
just write to the Statistician of
the U. S. Reclamation Service,
Washington, D. C., for particu¬
lars.

Burning With Curiosity.
A certain famous authoress who is
much worried by unknown correspond¬
ents has taken her revenge in a some¬
what eccentric fashion. She received
a letter from a woman Informing her
that the writer had named her last baby
after her and requesting the authoress’
views on her choice. She received a
thick envelope, heavily sealed, with
this inscription: “Not to be opened till
baby's thirtieth birthday." Now the
mother is worrying herself day and
night as to the contents of the envel¬
ope.
Lines by a Sick Poet.

he threw to his attendant:
Strange sauce that's mingled with the

sauce—In vain.
I eat and. wond'rlng what and why I eat.
Long for the porridge of my youth
again.

“Me? Oh, I only go to G, but I want

Psychology of Broken Jaws.
It might be a bit of a strange fact,
but you would be astonished to see
the broken jaws which are presented
at free institutions on holidays—elec¬
tion day. New Year’s day and the
Fourth of July. A great number of
fractured jaws are the result of quar¬
rels among the very lowest classes. It
surprises me that the number of bro¬
ken jaws is not on the Increase on ac¬
count of the heated newspaper discus¬
sions that we are constantly having
on various topics of the day. It has
been said that were it not for the
mouth nine-tenths of the gossip and
the miscTiief of the world would l>e
prevented. And very often were It
not for the month there would be no
broken jaws.—D. B. Breundllch in New
York Medics' fwi-nri
