GOSPEL OF IRRIGATION.
Missionaries Engaged In Its Desimin.
alton Doing Local Work.

Two men who are engaged in the
very laudable work OF spreading the
gospel of irrigation and enlightening
the dark places where 1t is as yet
unknown are in the city today. Their
visit here is for the purpose OF en-
listing local aid so as to enable them
to more effectively operate where
most necessary. They are w. M.
Woodbridge Of Hinsdale, this state,
and Guy E. Mitchell, secretary of the
National Irrigation association.
They have undertaken to increase
the membership OF the association in
Montana and purpose to enroll no
fewer than 1000 members before they
cease their effort. In the northern
part of the state they have been ex-
c%eptionally successful, as is attested
by the large enrolment they secured.
In Great Falls alone considerably
over 100 names were added to the
list.
AS published before, the object is
to secure as large a membership as
possible in order that the association
may be better able to accomplish its
purpose in the east, enlist the manu-
facturers, merchants and large bust
ness concerns generally in the cause
of irrigation and thereby ecure a
leverage in congress and make pas
sage of additional legislation in the
interest of national irrigation certain.
What may be expected from this has
already been made apparent by the
| success which attended the efforts OF
the national association, when a few
years ago it invaded the east and
by proper representation secured the
cooperation of a large and influential
element and materially enhanced the
prospects of national aid. BY prov
ing to them that reclamation of the
arid regions is or than local
benefit, that it is something which
concerns the entire nation by increas'
ing the area on which families can be
supported and homes established the
men at the head of the present move
ment are sanguine that the help of the

jellies and preserves and thus support
several classes of merchants and job
bers by the profits made, but what do
we get to eat? The poorest, unripe
vegetables, colored and sweetened
with hurtful chemicals, and fruits, SO
called, made from glucose and col
ored and sweetened with coal tar. The
American people somehow seem to
have gotten rooted in the belief that
to live they must trade their labor
for money and then go with that
money in their hands and trade it
again for something to eat and to
wear, instead of producing these
things themselves.
Colony Of Instruction.
"While l stopped at. Billings, Geo.
H. Maxwell, the executive chairman
OF the National Irrigation association,
addressed a meeting of the people at
which he unfolded a plan of putting
people onto land, which if it can be
worked out will become one Of the
most important sociological move
ments of the times.
'HHe suggested that if the people OF
Billings would take it up and cooper
ate, he would undertake to secure sub
scriptions sufficient to establish at
the outskirts of the town an acre
farm colony, where 100 acres could
be secured, with good irrigation sup
ply, and divided up into n acre
tracts and provided with competent
farm instructors, SO that men in the
eastern centers who had saved a little
money and wanted to get a little coun-
try home, could come out and stay on
one of those acres for a year or two
and be taught how to farm and to
irrigate. Then they would feel conf
dence in looking about and buying a
five or ten acre farm and making their
home upon it. He stated that there
are thousands and hundreds of thous-
ands of such men in the eastern towns
and cities who are anxious to get such
small farms where they can make
their homes but that their training
has been all their lives away from
Mother Earth and they are afraid to
take the plunge. This plan would
open the door of opportunity to them.
"The working out of this plan, Mr..
Maxwell said, would furnish a supply
of ideal colonists for any new coun-
try, and it would at the same time
tend to relieve the congested centers
in the east. If the outcome OF a sin
gle such rural instruction colony
should prove successful, he believed
that every western center with new
and undeveloped tributary country
would adopt the plan, for it would
bring them in tenfold returns, both
indirectly and directly. That it was
not a chimera of his brain, he stated
that one of the southern tr%ansconti-
mental railroads had already started
the system in Arizona, in the irrigated
| Salt River valley and was now divid-
ing up a 16O-acre tract into acre farm
gardens and had engaged n OF the
best farmers in Arizona as al instruc-
tor.
"Unless you are registered you can
not vote," Mr.. Mitchell might have
added with truth.

Do You Want Strength?

If you want to increase your
strength you must add to and not
take from the physical. In other
words, the food that you eat must
be digested, assimilated and appro-
priated by the nerves, blood and

the intestines. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure adds to the physical. 1t gives
strength to and builds up strength
in the human system. 1t is pleasant
