THE MAXWELL PLAN.

John S. Maxwell is in Denver. talk.
ing vigorously on irrigation matters,
and opposing the irrigation bill upon
which the senators n representatives
from the arid states have agreed. Mr..
Maxwell is chairman Of the executive
committee OF the National Irrigation
association. which has for some years
been urging the construction Of nation.
al storage reservoirs. He opposes any
control by the states, holding that the
reservoirs and the control Of the
streams are national affairs as much
as the building and control Of the
levees of the lower Mississippi. He
says there is no hope Of passing the
bill now pending, and that 1t ought not
to pass. What the National Irriga-
ton society wants." says Mr.. Maxwell.
'is to get congress to give up what is
known as the Chittenden recommen.
dalton. that is, that one-seventh Of the
river and harbor appropriation be set
aside for the construction Of national
storage reservoirs, that the hydroloE-
cal appropriations be increased to
$3.50. 900, and that the government com

Too Many Bachelors Living.

The last census showed that there
were in the whole country 5.427, 767
bachelors against 3.224.494 spinsters,
an excess of 6s per cent of bachelors
over the unmarried women. There
was not any state in the Union that did
not have more bachelors than single
women, even Massachusetts exhibiting
a small fractional overplus of unat-
tached males of manageable age.
To accoun for this situation of af-
fairs 1t was explained that. the mass Of
each state being paired off by mar
riage evenly as between the sexes only
a relatively small fraction Of single
persons old enough to marry was left
over. In most states the male part of
this fraction was much in excess of the
female part. And 1t must also be re-
membered that women marry much
younger than men.

boots from under the bed. They rat
tied on the floor like chunks of ice.
He knocked them together and shud-

the hard floor like an empty cocoanut

boot hit the ceiling and fell back, with
the heel hitting squarely in the old

Sir William Richmond estimated
that as many as 5000 tons OF coal we're
carried of in suspension in the atmos-
phere daily from the chimneys of Lo1.-
don. The dirt caused by this black
fog is only one Of the resultant evils;
days spent in darkness or in artificial
light. as we'll as the large amount of
oxygen consumed by artificial light,
is another item Of much importance
which should be considered in this con-
nection. The London scientists state
that there Is ever a decided increase in
the death rate during these heavy
black fogs. and there can be no doubt
that so much smoke in the air is a
cause Of bronchitis and other inflanl-
nations Of the respiratory tract, which
in turn give rise to greater liability
to pneumonia and tuberculosis.

cess of New Years Publications is ap-

"mummers" Or shooters" has long
been a fixture of the holiday there. the
participants being mostly working

tesque garb. An intense rivalry OBJ
tains between these clubs. and expendi-
lures for effect are often ont of all pro-
portion to the means Of the num-
mers or the wOrthiness of the end.
This year the city offered prizes for
the best fancy dress and comic clubs.
and thousands of men paraded between
spectators estimated at half a million.
But as in the Mardi Gras festivals or
the South, many of the participants
went to exuberant extremes, and the
more s~ober-minded critics Of Philadei-
phia are calling for moderation and re-
form. particularly on the part of those
who choose to parade in women's garb.

Worlds Record for Butter.

The worlds record for seven days'
milk and butter production has been
brt'ken by a Ramsey county COW. The
nf W worlds champion is Mercedes Julips
Pistert, Jr., full -blooded Holstein- Erie
sian COW, on the South Side farm, near
White Bear station, owned by T. S.
Tompkins, Of St. Paul.
The official test which broke the record
was made under the supervision of the
Minnesota experimental station, and ex.
tended from Dec. II TO Dec. %, inclusive
The yield for the seven days was 589
pounds Of milk, which, according to the
Babcock test, contains 29.47 pounds OF
butter, beating the former worlds rec
ord by more than pound, and proving
| that Minnesota contains the best COW in
| the world. The former record was 2S
pounds, and four ounces for seven DAYS
production, "a milkings.
The new worlds champion is not ar
extremely large COW, but she is unusual
ly lcng and low. She is now years old
A slight idea of the wonderful milk
production by the new champion during
the recent test IS gained when one re
members that milk weighs about two
pounds per quart. This makes the tota
production for the seven days about 20
quarts, or 42 quarts a day, 81 quarts
each milking.
