really is. We'll, the truth is, that all
that time I've been jealous Of the wom-

band. Why on earth"
Eyes, know now I was silly, but I
just couldn't help it. Many a night I've
lain awake thinking about it. Why,
every time the dinner wasn't good, I'd
imagine he was thinking that she'd
have given him better one. Q, I can't
tell you all the things 1 thought. Some
times I just wanted to die and be out of

Eyes; then, I just wouldn' t die and let
her perhaps have the pleasure of using
my visiting cards, wearing my jewelry,

band and found that there was no cause
for jealousy"

BROWN TALKS IRRIGATION.
Garden City Senator Outlines Plans

Garden City. Dec. Ex-senator Milton

the irrigation problem and also the eff
feet on this country Of the decision

the Wright Irrigation case
What do you think viii be the ef-
feet Of this Wright decision2"

no water in the river2"
..Y our proposition is on a mistaken
basis. for each and every winter enough
water goes by US to thoroughly soak
all our lands. Then at the Hood period
in summer it goes by. My observation
leads me to the conclusion that the
fault in this is not altogether at one
particular door. If the farmers viii
take the water and use it when they
can get it. a great part of the problem
viii be solved, so far as the valley is
concerned"
How viii the question of controlling
these flood periods be s0lved2
II don't know just how, but it can
be done by a reservoir system and stOr-
ing it, Every western senator and
congressman ought to stand out and
not vote for any appropriations for
rivers and harb0rs until congress viii
spend some of those millions on a stor-
age system at the heads of the streams
which in the aggregate make up the
Mississippi river. The trouble with
congress is that it has been working at
the wrong end of the stream. for each
and every year the bottom of the river
bed of the Mississippi gets higher by
means of the soil washing down from
these Western states. This would be
in large measure remedied by stop

voir or storage system Then the water
could be taken out of these reservoirs
and run out over the arid or semi-arid
states, and would gradually find its
way back into the big stream at a time
when the water is usually low therein

semi-arid countries in making them the
