Thl* dipping ray* that In additioni these 8,000000 scree there are from 15.000,000 to 20.000000 acre* cf arid land In the West that can be reclaimed by bonding more dams and using all tbe water a Tunable. In the eastern half of tbe ebuntry are 200.000.000 acres of cut-orer timber land that only needs to hare the stomps blown out and the land cleared and leveled to make tt as prodnrtlTe as any land to tbe world. In the South there art something like 80.000,000 acres of swamp land that, tf drained, will grow about anything growable. All that makes some bunch of land. Tbe guy who wrote this dipping figures it at one-fifth again as large as the state

of Texas.

“According to this dipping the ide- • f the government Is to sagged to ns ooKOen. and our friends the marines and sailors that ws don't hare to go back to our old Jobe or try to hunt up new ones, but that the government will glee us all the work we can do build- ' tog dams and canals, blowing stump* and clearing land, and digging ditches to drain swamp lands, to order to make these waste lands the finest agri- , cultural land to toe world. | “I wawt very keen on the proposl- , tlon at first because I thought I might , have to go up North or out West to get a Job on tola government work, but It says here that there are so many projects to be construded. W lusted to practically every state to the Union, that ■ man wont have to go very far from his old borne to get work. I know that to Arkansas there are near- { ly 14.000000 aciea of eut-over timber land and ever 0000,000 aerea of swamp land, so It ought to be easy for me to [ get a Job In my own state and probably not far from borne. I figure that that bustnews course I took ought to land me a Job as a timekeeper, bookkeeper, or storekeeper cn one of these projects and If I don't get that the L«d knows Uve had plenty of expert- . cnee with a pick and shovel digging :

and twenty-one is extraordinarily -- Uve. Impetuous and ardent. Adventure appeals to him then as It never will again. The call of the sea at eighteen Is well-nigh IfteetettMe. It may not be romantic to apply for sea service at a drug store but the American boy finds It effective. In • very abort time he finds himself on tbe way to a seaport—at the government's expense—and once there an hour Is enough to change him to ase ‘othes and to the outward vemblanee
