stantly growing. They now operate $50
stores in different parts of the United
States, and use over two thousand de-

secured elsewhere, and in ad-
dition handle a beautiful line of
china, glassware and household goods
from the various markets of the world

They import all their teas and coffees
direct from the plantations, thereby
saving to their customers all middle

Tea Co. is not at present well known
to the tea and coffee purchasers of
Wheeling, they are well known to the
pottery manufacturers, having in the
last few years purchased thousands of
dollars worth Of pottery from Wheeling

of goods which this firm supplies and
the low price they ask for same. we feel
confident that they viii soon be thor

This COuntry'a Arid Area.
ON the Saturday Evening Post.

The arid region Of this country Is larger
than the entire area of some Of the ma
tons OF the earth. 1t includes portions of
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah. Ne
vada, Arizona and New Mexico and smaller
portions Of North and South Dakota, Ne
vada. Kansas and Texas. hundreds Of thou
sands of acres in California, two-thirds Of
Oregon, one-third Of Washington and al
most all OF Idaho-altogether total of
over 100000 square miles, enough, in
fact. to accommodate one-half the people
of the United States when the land is
made productive
To allow all this splendid country to go
to waste would be contrary to the spirit OF
a practical nation.
All this arid land needs Is irrigation. Al
ready a large part of it has been converted
to fertility by the artificial supply of water.
Gradually and strongly the experts Of the
government have urged upon Congress q
policy of assistance which will convert
many of these acres into fertile fields In
this way the suggestion has come that to
the river and harbor bill there shall be
added provision for storage reservoirs in
the far west. If 1t should be done land
that is now Of no practical value would
soon be worth $40 or $50 an acre, and thus
1t happens that far western influences are
openly in favor of the proposition. Some
thing like 5000 600 is the first sueges-
ton in the way of the new departure
