WAFER USERS ASSN.
 WILL VOTE TODAY
Annual Election of Officers-Monthly Meeting of Board of Governors Yes terday.

The board of governors of the Wa ter Users association held its regular monthly meeting yesterday. Only one matter other than routine details, was brought before it and that was a cir cular recently sent out by the recla- nation service from the Washington office 10 the Water Users associations under all the projects.
 The circular announces that the service has devised plan which each association may, if it desires. avail It. self of, for turning into cash credit, the work of such farmers or their teams. as may be economically en- ployed in the construction of ditches and similar work. The plan in this valley for instance. would be for any farmer in the valley who desires to do so. when there is need of his services, or those of his team. may be employed in ditch construction or otherwise His time check given in payment. would be presented to the secretary of the Water Users association. who would issue him a voucher for that much money, acceptable at its face value in payment for water when he buys for the next season. or in pay ment on the reservoir assessment due from each acre after the lands are al- lotted. The subject was taken under advisement. as no member cared to

The first class may not be shady In char acter. and whether they are called pessi- mists or not they assuredly pay for their dlsagreeable temperament in lack of friends and lack of business success.

There is no quality in this world which 'osts as little and brings as great returns as courtesy or civility. It Is like lighting one candle by another's light. for one loses notaing by the transaction and the secoE1 gains mueh thereby. So with courtesy, q man can always aiiord to be courteous for there Is never any telling how great the compensation for this will be- My own experience as m editor has taught me that conclusivcly. Sesing in person some unknown writer Las often meant that that particular man would later come into ny office with stoIles or pictures which many another magazine would have willingly expended far more money than was at my disposal to secure the same. No matter what your position never assume the exalted, iuac- cessible attitude: see as many men who really have business with you as you can. They will appreciate this and repay you in kind. So. too, In every walk in life. no matter what your position or yaar employment be civil to interiors as well as those whose positions above you world prompt you 10 be polite. The man below may be above some day and In a position to help you, or you may find yourself his inferior. Time works many changes. particularly in this country. and you can never tell man who gave me a position as cub reporter was work ing for ne two years later, writing mat ter at my dictation.

 Divers have been sent over the sides of each ship and made thorough in- spection of the bottoms. Many of the 1 ships were nearly as clean as when i they left, Hampton Roads according tO
 the divers. The long lay at anchorage | has done more to foul their bottoms

While a Y-shaped lapel to dinner coat is conceded correct by fashion, the oval or egg-shaped kind is softar and less severe and much more popular.
 For morning wear soft-hnished fabrics are favored. as these drape much better than the hard-surfaced cloths. They re tain their shape longer, and that Is an important consideration with most men whose wardrobe Is limited.

Avoid Catching Cold.

Much as most people like the bracing winter weather they prefer mllder condi- tlons of temperature. because with tue former invariably come colds. the bane Of winter existence for a vast majority Of people. They are bad enough in them

 The evolution of mems apparel is a most interesting matter. very few years ago macklntoshes were considered the correct thing; today they have gone almost completely out of use. In tbelr place have come waterproofed coats. as nowadays 1t is possible To subject almost any cloth to the process of making 1t rainproof without In any way causing l. to lose Its neXibIlIty or shape. Long coats are preferable. although here again personal taste must enter Into the selec ton of material and colors decided upon. Oxford gray, black. olive and tan are always effective, although variety is now afforded in plaids. stripes and shadow effects.
 To prevent a dress waistcoat from get ting wrinkled or riding up and down" as the wearer bends or sways a clever device is to have little button sewed on the trousers just above where the v on the waistcoat comes, and on the latter have a small buttonhole. This pre- vents the waistcost from getting awry and holds 1t in place most effectively.

 In the matter of clothing, 1t Is much wiser not to wear heavy clothes. whether close to your body or for an outer cover ing Begin by lessening the weight grad ually and you will find that 1t is possible to wear the same underelothes for winter and summer. Many men keep in spl, 1did condition by wearing the knee-ength drawers In the wintertIme. and are as comfortable in them as they are In sum mer. It means that you don't hinder cir culation by close-itting. overheavy gar ments, q prolific source of colds. IL you fnd that knee drawers are too cold and do not keep you warm, then try full length summerwe.ght material, for if. in your particular case, it means that you are al- ways shivering and are not warm. then the thing to do is to experiment until you find out just what weight will suit you. Many men. however. do not realize or know that they can be as comfortable and much more hygenic with this lesser amount of clothes than they are by fol- lowing the much wider-spread and gen ernlly accepted theory that. because the summer has been replaced by winter. they must needs dress themselves as though they lived near the North or the South Poe.
