In thirteen states and territories,
irrigation, wholly or in part, IS
relied upon to produce crops.
1t is the application, in the strict
est sense, of scientific methods in
farming, Its continued develop
ment results in internal expansion
of the public domain with which
no individual or political party
can find fault. 1t conquers the
encroaching desert and reclaims
millions of acres Of waste lands.
1t means an increase in the pro-
ductive area of our country great
enough to feed and clothe another
nation almost as populous as our
own.
1t is therefore apparent that an
accurate census of irrigation is OF
great Importance. The fact that
its success depends in some degree
upon the irrigators themselves
should awaken their hearty in,
terests in this work. Parties own.

IN THE MATTER OF MARRIAGE.

Those who deplore the fact that
there are already too many i'm.

may not feel depressed by the an
nouncement that out in Colorado
a law has just been proposed com.
pelling matrimonial candidates
to prove themselves physically
sound before assuming the silken
bonds of wedlock, says the Phil
adelphia Times. Its advocates al
lege that so many consumptive
patients coming to that state for
better or worse have ,ntermarried,
that the custom, if allowed to con-
tlnue, may become serious men
ace to the national health.
Of course if a statute of this
character is enacted there and
shows itself beneficial, it is not at
all Improbable that its example
will be followed by other com.
munities. Thus in time condi-
tion of things may be brought
about reminiscent of that ancient
Greek people who made perfect

a child should be permitted to

And in view of other events that
are happening right along. this
period of sounder physical de.
velopment cannot come too soon.

that his being undersized and not

she did. No broad.minded man
desires to unfairly hamper woman
