BETTER IRRIGATION LAWS
DAVIS AND WEBER COUNTY
FARMERS ORGANIZE.
Association VIII Work For LegisIa-
ton in the Interest of Irrigation
State Engineers Suggestions.

In response TO a call there was a
fairly well attended meeting of farm
ers living in Davis and Weber coun-
ties held at the court house in Ogden
yesterday afternoon. The purpose Of the
meeting was to devise ways and meth
DDS of securing more equitable distri-
button OF irrigation waters without in
any manner interfering with existing
water rights of either the individual
or the ditch corporation.
State Engineer r. c. GemmeI was
present by invitation and read an in
teresting paper containing suggestions
for the amendment of the Utah laws
to conform with the irrigation law of
Wyoming. Mr.. Gemmel stated that so
satisfactory is the Wyoming law that
out of $500 cases of adjudication by
the board of control only one appeal
has been made to the courts
1t being decided by the discussion
following Mr. Gemmen's paper that all
persons present were favorable to a
law as suggested. there was an organ
ization effected to work toward secur-
ing the desired legislation at the next
session of the legislature. The organi-
~ sen, TO be known as THE Weber and
Davis Counties Irrigation Association, -
was perfected by the election of Hon.
L. B. Adams. president and J. Albright,
secretary. these two officers being en-
powered to confer with the officers of
the various irrigation companies and to
select one vice president from each
company.
The president and secretary were au-
thOriZed to secure the publication of
the paper read at this meeting by State
Engineer GemmeH and to distribute
the same as widely as possible.
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the president.

Pygmalion put the letter in his IA

raise the kite and in spite of there be-

of twine, for he was d born kite-fiyer.

a young man alighted. Both the boys
were out putting up the kite, but when
he called to them they tied the string
to the front fence and this time there
was such a stiff breeze that the kite
was glad to stay up. .-

How They Frightened the Bachelor
Who Was Giving Faro Party.
lC,l,icanro Inter Oceanl

A bachelor, who entertains in his
apartments, gave 3 faro party a few
nights ago which had a feature that
was not expected by the guests. Three
faro banks were established in one of
his rooms and each guest received on
arrival a basket Of chips. Instead of
playing for money the guests played
for prizes, which were to be awarded
at the close of the play to the man
and the woman who had won the most
chips The appointments of the room
were closely modelled after a well
known faro room, even to the lunch,
and each guest was at liberty to play
at any table he or she might select.
An interruption came a few minutes
before Il o'clock, the time set Tor end
ing the play. There was a loud rap on
the door and when the host responded
there stood three policemen. Two Of
them rushed into the room to guard
the two windows, and the third guard
ed the door.
You are all under arrest, said the
man at the door, "and you had better
submit without any trouble. The pa

TALKS on HANDSHAKING.
Scientific Custom that Dated Back to
the Beginning OF Time.

-
1T is said by ancient astroIogers that
shaking hands is a scientific custom which
dates back TO the beginning of time. There
is all the difference in the world between
the various modes of shaking the hand OF
strangers or friend as to the resulting i'm
preston obtained by and through that
operation, consciously or unconsciouslv. 3"
said society woman at select afternoon
tea yesterday. I claim that the results
depend upon the proper position taken by
the TWO hands clasDed. although a mere
touch viii tell much. We shake hands in
order TO form a connection between us
which viii result in the exchange cf plan
etary vibrations which notify us whether
we have met friend or foe Few people
80 INTO such an exact scientific ANALYSIS
of the reasons, but perhaps think that
they do it because other people do it.
that It IS the custom of the country or
because the person met offers the hand
IT remains an indisputable fact however.
that we form likes and dislikes uDOn
touching the hands of strangers, and that
friendships or dislikes often start at that
point, whether we realize il or not The
exchange or impression is strong at the
moment of contact of the palm. 1t makes
us unhappy 90 touch some people, and We
viii not if VIC can help it.
The most effective handshake is not
the close clasp in all cases although it
may be in many. but varies according
to the sizes and shapes of the two hands
which clasp each other. However they
may meet there Is one spot which is the
magnetic center of the entire being-the
mount of the sun, speaking from the
standpoint of palmistry-which mas the
most direct nerve contact with the brain
and also most direct blood connection
with the heart, and is. therefore. called
the ring finger-with the magnetic pole
at its base.
The physical and mental strength are
there united in the strongest magnetic
center of the body. If the two hands thus
clasped are placed with their magnetic
centeTS in close contact. no matter where
the rest of the palm may be- I insist that
there IS q strong magnetic current estab-
lished between these two people.
1T may be intensified in effect if the
mounts at the bases of the other fingers
also be Brought into as close contact with
each other, thus bringing the minor mag
netic poles also together Then, if the
third or ring finger curls around the

more closely. the law Of nnagnetics is car
ried out tc complete perfection the effects
are most pronounced, and we enjoy the
pleasureable interchange of vibrations.
whether we know the why's and where
fOTes' or not
In all probability, we do not care why
we only know that we enjoyed the hand
