Travers sliced badly. driving IN the

He took no chances, but played straight
out In the course. instead Of toward the

ically said:
Generally speaking. the man who Is
the best diplomat and is straight himself
will come out ahead But there was o
case-oy-yOy was good shot" Mr..
Rockefeller exclaimed, as Travis hoied
out a 20-foot put. by Jove, that was
fine" and he slapped his knee and re-
peated that was fine"
Then Mr. Rockefeller rolled up his
trousers, fixed his hat more firmly on his
head. threw his coat over his arm. and
followed along. On the thirteenth green

Federal reclamation work, money having
been appropriated by the legislature for
that purpose. Here in the Pecos River
Valley irrigation works were constructed
by private enterprise. Although the con-
struetion was imperfect. the water was
carried 10 the land and It's wonderful fer
ulity fully demonstrated. The country
became famous for its fruit within & few
years. Then came a disastrous fiood three
years ago and swept away a large por-
ten Of Avalon dam. running the whole
irrigation system. An appeal 70 the gen
eral government was made, and the re-
spouse was ready Tho work OF recon-
structiOn was taken UP and water IS now
being served. The defects OF the old sys-
tenn were remedied. and there is now as
surance Of a water supply every year.
The Yuma project. in Southern California
and Arizona, has been the subject of a
Presidential message 10 Congress. It viii

way which will redeem large sections In
Texas. North Dakota, Utah. Oregon.
South Dakota. Idaho. and Kansas.
When the twenty-five irrigation systems
now under way are completed. and the
thirteen yet IN allegiance are taken up and
finished, this work will have added 10 the
producing area Of the country lands

On these irrigated lands the element Of
chance is removed from the pursuit of
agriculture The farmer knows exactly
what water supply he will have, exactly
when he will plant his crops. and exactly
when TO expect his harvest. There is no
problem OF a too wet spring or a too dry
summer. On these vast tracts of the arid
West. being won from the desert by the
energy and genius OF the American engi-
neers. agriculture will become a science
almost as exact as mathematics.

That the New York papers have

Doubt What has Been
Twice Proved.

lief from aches and pains of bad
backs, from distressing kidney
ills, thousands have publicly
recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills. Residents Of Paw Paw
who so testified years ago now
say their cures were permanent.
This testimony doubly proves
the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills
to Paw Paw kidney sufferers.
Mrs. A. w. Cummings, retired,
Gremps ST., Paw Paw, says:
my husband has suffered a Sc
we're attack of kidney trouble.
His back was so weak that at
times he was unable to be about.
He procured Doan's Kidney Pills
at Longwell Bros drug store
and in short time they removed
every trace of the trouble. See
ing the good results in his case

Hiuh-FIoWn Metaphors.

Mr. Sturgeon, the great English
preacher, was a keen collector of
mixed metaphors. finding a rich field
in the correspondence that daily
overwhelmed him. A woman inclosing
a small contribution for his schools
wrote: 81 hope this widows mite
may take root and spread its branches
until it becomes a Hercules in your
hands. Pulpit prayers of ambitious
probationers added something to the
great preachers store. One prayed
that Gods rod and staff may be ours
while tossed on the sea of life, so that
we may fight the good fight of faith
and in the end soar to rest"
