THE TRAGEDY OF BlLLIKEN.
Fancy and Fact About Sculptor of the
Little Heather.

Fancy and Fact About Sculptor Of the
Little Heather.
Baltimore Sun: Bright little "BiIli-
ken" with his red swish of hair and his
queer cross-cut smile, has amused mil
iians. In thousands of coy corners
and parlors all over the gIode he sets
and smiles and people of all kinds and
conditions tickle his toes, according to
the directions on the box.
You would never suspect It from his
face, but the heart of "Billiken" Ia
troubled, and tragedy broods over his
flaming head. Everybody knows that
"Billiken" is ''the god of things that
ought to be" but If the news that
comes from Kansas City is true. he is
not the god they thought he was.
A pretty little tradition has grown
UP about the popular little heathen
There was once a struggling artist. a
beautiful young girl--so the story goes
VINO, though sic possessed great tai
ent, was not able to secure RECOGNITION
Tor her works. Kansas City was far
from the solons and its idea of art
ranged somewhere between a railroad
poster and book beer advertisement.
AT last, when she had come to the end
OF her row and the wolf was growing
at the door, the beautiful sculptures
In her protest against a cruel world
declared, I'm tired OF all the talk OF
the good Of things as they are.' I
want a god OF things as they ought to
be-" So she modelled "Billiken'' for
herself. The quaint little idol changed
her luck Friends begged for it, strang-
ers were swept away at the first glance
and the children Of a thousand homes
cried for ''Billiken." Into the Ian OF
the fortunate sculptress poured the
wealth In steady stream AS the idols
cost about eight cents ana sold for a
large dollar, wealth was supposed to
be pouring In on her like John d.
Rockefeller in a money storm.
That was the way the story went.
But look first on that picture and then
on this. Miss Florence Pretz. the KAN
sas City girl who designed BiIiiken. Is
angry, Disguised, mad. She hates the
sight Of her masterpiece. ST have de-
stroyed every Billilken in the house
and would walk a block to avoid seeing
his ugly little face" she AYERS. And
wherefore? Well, the Kansas CITY dis
patches state that Of all the thousands
of dollars Billiken- brought, the girl
who modelled him has been getting a
royalty of only thirty measly little
dollars a month. Think OF it-ss0 for
fame and Billiken! Her idea is that

Passing Of Great Wyoming Desert

without a trip to the dam across the
country II is to irrigate. When COM
pleted it will store $4,000 acre-feet OF
water, or enough water to cover $4,000
acres OF land one foot deep. The arti-
fetal lake 1t will form win be ten miles
square, with IAN average depth OF
seventy feet. Imagine, IL you please,
storing enough water by means of q

Uncle Sans faith in the basin coun-
try is such that he has put up SO, $780,
600 in advance, and proclaimed to the
settlers through the medium of the
reclamation act to take this land, and
ne will allow them ten years in which
to pay for 1t with perpetual water
rights without interest The amount
required Tor payment Of the land is
$3.50 per acre the first year OF settle
ment. While the government has done
much, private enterprise is not found
wanting. The government has so care
fully safeguarded the settlers water
rights that investment in private lands
may be made with the assurance of
SAFETY or supply and the price and
terms on which the land may be Sc
cured are not dissimilar throughout the
whole region. Already private capital
has manifested itself in similar irri-
eating as we'll as dry farming projects,
and all through the section towns have
sprung up as IL by magic, with homes
of bungalow architecture, churches and
schools everywhere dotting the coun-
try, proclaiming In silent but unmis-
taxable terms the enterprise OF the in
habitants.
