Des Moines, June 23.-Reports to the
grain men and dealers from those por-
| lions of the state where drainage is
essential indicate that while there has
been no general overflow of farm land
like there was; last year and the year
before, the lowlands are SO wet that
| there are thousands of acres lying
waste this year which have in the past
produced enormous crops. This Is
true in the northern swa1npy counties
and in the western counties along the
wide Missouri river bottoms. Last year
there We're about 10000 acres over

son, and some of il was overiioWed
three separate. times, so that the crops
We're a total failure. This year there
has been no overflow, but the land is
so wet that cultivation is impossible
save on the highest portions.
1--WE have plans made for great
deal of canal work In these two coun-
ties of the state said Senator l.. l..
Hogue, of Blencoe, While here. There
are five drainage districts being sur
veyed in Harrison and two in Monona.
These districts will take in a large
share of the low land along the Little

done now. have the greatest faith.
however. in the big canal which will
be virtually the Strengthening OF the
Sioux river. The plan is for a canal or
series of them covering distance OF
thirty-six miles OF the rivers course.
Portions of the river bed will be used.
and then at places the canal Will be
cut thru territory from half mile to
three miles away from the present
channel. The thirty-siX miles will be
reduced to seventeen or nearly one
half as long. This Will greatly increase
the speed Ill the river and make good
drainage. Then there Will be many
lateral bitches to connect up all the
country. II, is great project"
A sample of the experience in north
ern Iowa is in Winnebago county,
where drainage districts are contem-
plated which, IL completed, will cover
more than half of the entire county
Only one drainage district has been
perfected, but petitions are being cir
culated for four others. in which there
Will be bitches aggregating seventy
five miles in length. Two of these are
REVEALS of old projects dropped be-
cause of the discovery that the old law
was Illegal. This is fair sample of
what is necessary in the northern

the new drainage law.

that the strict enforcement of this law
Will result in a change exempting from
reports all companies that do not do a
commercial business. This was tried
in the Twenty ninth. general assembly,
but abandoned whert it WAS found that
a majority of the members of the house

gether to allow no exceptions. But the
farmers may undertake campaign
that will put an end to the annoyance
OF annual reporting OF farm lines
which have completely covered the

sessment. The reports show steady
increase every year in the number of

| No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of a female face, the
sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses
something II the head Is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair. it is
now known, is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where 1t saps the vitality. The lit
tie white scales the germ throws up in
burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently. then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.

the dandruff germ. and. of course stops

BABYLON CYLINDER BOOKS
Heavy and Cumbersome Tablets and
Prisms That Revolved Upon
Spindles.

In addition to the fat tablet, the
Babylonians and Assyrians wrote
some of their books on large
prisms and cylinders. Some Ofthese
cylinders are as much as two feet
in length and eight to ten inches in
diameter, says Harper's Maya
zine. Being made of the same ma.
terial as the tablets, they are nee.
essarily heavy and cumbersome.
yet they we're in some ways more
convenient for reading, since they
were perforated longitudinally.
and placed on a spindle, so as to re,
yOlve. In some cases the writing
runs from end to end of the cylin.
der, which is then suspended hOri.
zontally. In other cases the cylin.
der is upright, the columns run
ming from top to bottom. In the
latter case the book is usually not
a true cylinder, but a prism of six.
eight or ten sides, each side in.
scribed with a separate column
of writing like the page of a book.
These prisms and cylinders were
commonly selected by the kings ia
contain records of their deeds
Thus the British museum contains
prisms on which are recorded the
achievements of such famous con
querors as Sargon, Sennacherib
and the Elamite warrior Cyrus
The last-named cylinder has pecul
lar interest because it describes
the taking of Babylon.
