When Woman Isn't YOUNG.

The report is that local religious
institution which is for young wom-
en-" has drawn the deadline of youth
at 35. Every woman over that age
will be marked 23 and requested to
Sskiddoo This is painful. 1t is unkind.
What is worse, it is impracticable. We
are glad the task is to be performed
by women. No man nor set of men
would ever have dared tackle such a
problem-not they. This is simply
another example of woman's inhu.
manity to woman.
We have been told for many ages
that a woman Is as old as she looks
and man is as old as he feels. Just
now, we say it with regret, most wom-
en- look like 60 and most men feel like
Methuselah. But the general rule
seems a good one. 1t is a plain, I'M
palatable fact that women will deceive
as to their age as long as possible and
then openly lie about it. There are
many women who were born during
the ravages of the civil war who still
claim sweetly to be in the thirties.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Finished Its Work at Boise, Idaho,
and Adjourned.
Next Meeting VIII be Held at Sacramento
California-GOv. Chamberlain, of
Oregon, President.

Boise, Sept. S.-The 14th national
irrigation congress closed it's sessions
Thursday evening after voting to hold
the next congress at Sacramento, Cal,
and electing as president of the 18th
congress Gov. George E. Chamberlain,
of Oregon.
Frank G. Gowdy, of Denver, moved
to strike out the resolution urging
congress to extend to the federal
courts jurisdiction over water rights
on interstate streams.
1t was the old fight Of Colorado and
Kansas over the Arkansas river The
Kansans favored the committee reso.
luton.
DR.. Elwood Mead, of the reclama-
tion service, moved as a substitute
that the president appoint commit
tee of five to investigate the questions
at issue and report to the next con-
gress. This was agreed to. The re-
port of the resolution committee, as
thus amended, was adopted.
The resolutions express the hope
that the government irrigation works
under construction and in contempla-
ton will be pushed to an early COM
pletion; heartily approves the efficient
and thorough work of the federal re-
clamation service and expresses the
fullest confidence in the honesty and
ability of that service indorses and
commends the earnest and efficient
work of the national weather bureau
and commends the work of the FEEDER
al Agricultural department in it's irri-
cation and drainage Investigations. 1t
also recommends that the irrigation
congress authorize it's president to ap-
point committee of five members to
carry on campaign of publicity in
relation to irrigation and pledges earn
est support of the federal forest SER
vice in its efforts to maintain and i'm
prove the country's watersheds
After citing the fact that the beet
sugar industry in irrigated America
now brings the farmers $20,O00,O00 an
nually and that the amount we i'm
port would furnish market for $780,
100000 more. The resolutions say:
Therefore, We protest against any
further legislative concessions in favor
of Philippine sugar and urge that legis-
lative agitation and attacks on the SUI
gar production of this country cease,
that this great industry OF arid America
may be fully developed.

Topeka. Sept. CT. d. Coburn, Sec
rotary of the state board of agricul-

ures for the towns and cities of the
state and has found that there were
1913 which had a population of 1000
or more. This Isl an increase of eight
over the list compiled year ago.
The reports says:
The compilation of statistics now
going on under the supervision of Sec
rotary Coburn reveals that SO NUM-
cipalities show an aggregate gain of
1886, and 81 show an aggregate de-
crease of 1892. Oakland enters the
list this year as newly incorporated
town and last figures of population
are used for Atchison owing to the
failure of the county clerk to make
any return.
Kansas City shows the largest in
crease, 10,29S, followed by Wichita
with a gain of 4,431, Topeka 4,245,

that this factory always uses thoroughly ripe

THE SALOONS WON.
Local Option Was Defeated at Sprin gfield,
Mo-, by n Majority
of 900.

Springfeldy Mo-, Sept. 6.-Local OPP
ton was defeated at the polls here
Tuesday by majority of 1000. For
two weeks hard campaign has been
carried on by both sides. Banners
were strung across the court housa
square and floats and banners were
in the Labor fday parade, both for
and against dry town.
Women were at all the voting places
in the city the whole day urging the
vot ers to cast their ballots against
the licensed saloon of which there are
26 in Springfield. The most unex-
pee ed thing in the election was the
fact that very few negroes came near
the polling places. 1t was the gen.
eral impression that the negro vote
would go almost solid for local option
as the negroes said whisky was the
cause of three of their race being
hanged and burned here last April.

A number of officers and descend

be made into pillow as symbol OF

fashioned into homely agricultural

being a pillow, took the shape of the

LAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. 1t
! l is caused by some irritating sub
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months. 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack of the disease.
A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give Peruna trial.
1t has proven of priceless value to
