2o-Thc proceedings OF the opening
session OF the Goth national irrigation
congress which convened here today
were impressive and 1900 delegates
and $500 spectators who crowded the
galleries were moved to repeated
demonstrations. II is evident the
congress is to give the major por-
tion OF its time to the discussion OF
reclamation Of public lands and The
conservation OF natural resources and
il is likely that these discussions may
lead to differences of opinion on the
phases of government policies partic-
ularly forest policy.
The livestock interests are well rep
resented and their desires as to the
resolutions urging the government to
the regulation Of public domain and
forest service may precipitate sharp
discussion, Two letters and tele-
grams were read today from President
Roosevelt The first address to the
congress and conveyed the presidents

"TY" COBB FAST AS KELLEY

Manager Jennings, like all ball
players, classes the great Mike Kel-
ley us the best ever, but Hugh thinks
that In the base-running way "Ty"
Cobb should be of equal value to his
team with the man whose name and
fame will never die while baseball
lives.
Cobb Is faster than Kelley was"
says Jennings, land he has great
slide. Why shouldn't he attain as
great results? Kelley wasn't the fast
est man who ever lived. But he
knew how to get start, when TO go
and how to slide into a bag. His
arm from finger tips to elbow was
the only things baseman had to
touch when he was making slide on
close play.
Kelley once offered to make a Pc
culiar bet with Jack Crooks. He Of
fered to give Crooks the ball. The
latter was to hold 1t just as he would
in taking o throw. nutil Kelley. com

Cnd. An umpire was TO call the play
at that instant, and Kelley's bet was
that he would complete the ten feet,

Happily
Married
A FEW SUGGESTIONS AND HINTS
ON THE STATE OF D0U-
BILE FELICITY

A man who wants happiness and
success in life ought, as rule, not
to marry a girl older than himself.
In fact she ought to be at least five,
better still ten or even fifteen years
younger than the man.
Marriage is not meant for the
pleasure and comfort of the husband
and wife alone; II Is holy institu-
ton meant for the future genera
ton.
The question always is, or should
be. what will the children be? Is
their health likely to be good when
one of the parents is disproportion-
ately old?
Children, people ought never to
forget, are not only our sons and
daughters, they are also our fathers
and mothers. They make us or re-
make us.
The sight of ones healthy and
normal children rours new life into
one.
Finally, great disproportion Of
age between young husband and an
elderly wife is more than likely to
lead to complications of the famous
problem which no man has yet tried
to solve without suffering acutely for
1t.
The question has often been raised
whether the young man should study
the mother of the girl he is to marry,
more attentively than her other rel
atives. With regard to this. It is not
important to remark that nearly
every one of us resembles an uncle or
aunt more distinctly than even his
father and mother. Resemblance or
heredity goes transversely, sideways,
not in straight lines.
A study of the uncles and aunts OF
the girl is, to say the least, extremely
profitable, and may reveal traits that
are as yet latent and thus unobserv-
able in the girl.
In addition to this, the young man
must never forget that a girl of 20 is
l pouhy anu vel
than young man of %. Being rip
err, Older" she is in all, appear
ances Notwithstanding, much cooler,
much soberer, and less romantic, than
boy of her age, or few years older
than she Is.
To put 1t plainly, she is much the
more practical Of the two.
She goes straight for the point. Her
imagination is infinitely less heated
than that of the young man.
She will, in ninety-nine cases out
of hundred, choose the bread with
the butter on 1t. Words or letters do
not mean much in this matter. 1t is
wholly thing of actions.
When, after taking all precau-
tions, young man has chosen Il
young, energetic, lively, and orderly
girl, he may rest assured that he has
done very much for the subsequent
success and happiness of his life.
