THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



The never-resting winds cause a cease- 

 less drain on the supply of moisture in 

 the soil, but surveyors have found that 

 the water supply of many Western States 

 has its source in the windfall which is 

 collected in basins formed by impervious 

 strata, and all that is necessary to control 

 this supply is to bring these hidden rivers 

 to the surface. This can be done surely 

 and economically by the use of a discovery 

 of great importance to every farmer. A. 

 steam pumping engine is out of the 

 question, a hydraulic ram wastes more 

 water than it supplies and a windmill is 

 uncertain. The great inventor Ericsson 

 developed the DeLarnater Ericsson Hot 

 Air Pumping Engine. It is designed for 

 pumping water. There are no compli- 

 cated parts a child can manage one 

 and its power is derived from hot air alone. 

 The manufacturers guarantee successful 

 operation, and will ship engines to re- 

 sponsible parties subject to approval.

THAT DEAR FACE. 



There is one image, one alone, that fires 

 My fainting heart with ardor, and inspires 

 In me when sick and weary with the strife 

 And turmoil of this busy, seething life, 

 A fervent resolution to achieve 

 And bids me sit not back and idly grieve. 



Ah, yes! Were it not for that face 



I might have been too well content to trace 



The barren path of careless indolence; 



But now I toil and ask no recompense, 



Save that throughout the lonely nights and 



days 

 On that dear face I may forever gaze. 



'Tis not a face with pouting, rosebud lips 



And sparkling eyes, whose softest looks eclipse 



The twinkling of a thousand midnight stars; 



It is a face that anger never mars, 



A face unchanging through the changing years 



A face that beardless youths and hoary seers 



Alike pursue, alike would call their own 



A face impassive as the chiseled stone 



It is the classic goddess on our dollar; 



That is the face we all delight to follow.
