WATER is KING
A Well in the Desert Maketh
the Heart Glad
(By James G. Givens.l

Those who have read the story of the
Desert, will recall that the noblest act
of the Bedowin phlanthropist was to
dig a well. This act is always produc-
tive Of the most good to the greatest
number, OF all the acts in the lives of
the people who live in the desert coun-
tries.
1t is not many years since the millions
OF acres in the great Inland Empire of
today were kno yn upon map and in re-
cord only as the Great American Desert.
Now, a comparatively small portion of
this vast domain is left and the home
seekers who first dared its sands have
rich farms that blossom as the rose"
and these men are the financial back
bone of the country. "The Great Amer
lean Desert" has become the home of
thousands of people who possess more
money, per the individual, than any
other class in our country today and who
have made this great wealth out Of the
agricultural products OF the so-called
desert.
The tide OF immigration is still search
ing for these irrigable lands but they
are now much smaller in area and
harder to find. The eyes OF the fnan-
cial world have turned toward what is
left of the "Great American Desert"
and moo ern history affords no more
spectacular movement of capital than
the present trend in investment by the
nation in irrigated lands. All the peo-
pie are singing in harmony the Song of
Irrigated Lands and looking at such
lands as the open door of opportunity.
The state OF Nevada was long consid-
cred as a state in which The precious
metals were the only resource. Today,
this state takes a commanding place
among agricultural states in its wonder
full wealth in irrigable lands. Nevada
is now considered by experts in land
values and land products as one of the
richest sections IL agricultural possibil-
tiles Of any part q the whole country.
.o% eats So. Ceftaia SECTIONS d
this arid country were used by cattle
men as grazing ground for their herds.
Today these same sections have gone
out of the cattle business and are giving
place for agricultural products that make
them seem as veritable winter gardens.
1t has dawned upon the people of this
state that it is poor financial policy to
Craze cattle on land where it would pay
a profit from $3.50 to $500 or 81 900 per

SANTA CLAUS
Makes Hearts Happy at Christ
Church

great Christmas tree, gorgeous in
its glittering decorations, and sparkling
with a myriad of candles, gave of its
wonderful fruits through the instrumen-
tality of Santa Claus at Christ church on
Christmas Eve. The church was filled
with excited little folks with faces glow
ing in anticipation, while many grown
up children, less excited, perhaps, but
not less happy, enjoyed the fairy scene.
An excellent program OF Christmas
songs and recitations was given by the
members of the Sunday school, and
then, as the lights Of the church went
out, the jingle of approaching bells was
heard and Santa himself came rushing
ir1on, ''is mission of happiness He had
every appearance OF being the real arti-
Gle and proved his identity beyond ques-
ton by his CHEEKY words and the lavish
distribution of gifts.

NORTH POLE
Discovered at M. E. Church
Without Aid Of Cook or Peary

A novel entertainment was arranged
for the children of the NJ. f. Sunday
school Christmas Eve. Instead of the
usual Christmas tree, portion of the
Arctic region was transported bodily to
the church, with the original and only
North Pole sticking to it. The scene
was very beautiful and artistic and was
created under the supervision of Miss
Worrell.

rendered and gifts were distributed with
a lavish hand, and it is safe to say that
many children will look back with de-
light to the end of their lives to Christ

DECIDE TO BUILD
Eagles AeTiG Making Plans for
Handsome Business Block

AT the meeting of Las Vegas Aerie
1918 F. o. f., Tuesday evening last, it
was, decided to proceed at once to erect
a handsome structure on the valuable
lot owned by the organization on FIRE.
mont street With that end in view, a
bui ding committee was appointed to
take charge of the "details of the whole
matter. The committee is composed of
Harry r. Beale W. p. as an ex-oflicio
mel inber and II. NJ. Lillis, J. ID. Kramer,
W. +. Hawkins, w. Il. Braeken and C.
p. Ball.
This committee will at once secure
plans and estimates Of cost and will de-
termine on the character OF the struc-
ture and the best method OF financing
the enterprise.
III general way the plans are to erect
twp story block, probably of concrete,
with the lower story devoted to business
purposes and the upper floor containing
lodge quarters, including lodge room,
banquet hail. ante rooms, kitchen, etc,
complete in every respect. If the pres
ent intentions are carried out this will
be one of the most attractive lodge rooms
in the state.

new WELL
Water Obtained on the Jefferson
Property in New Territory

The well on the property of B. r. JET
ferson, about ten miles southeast of Ve-
gas, brought renewed hope to the pro-
mOters just as they were about to aban-
don attempts to drill deeper. The rig
in use is a very light one for drillings Of
any considerable depth, and after reach
ing the 510-foot mark it was decided to
pull up for the time being. After break
ing the horse power in the attempt to
raise the tools, caused by a cavern at
the bottom, the drill was finally with
drawn after considerable trouble; when,
to the surprise of Mr.. Jefferson, water
soon rose in the we'll and had risen to
within ten feet of the top when he left
for Vegas last Tuesday.
The formation for the last few feet
was very favorable for water and it is
now believed that a few feet additional
depth will push the drill into the arte-
sian water stratum and put this well in
the list of successful flowing wells in We
gas valley. The territory where this
well is located is remote from any prov
en- water belt, and a flowing we'll there
will make available many thousands Of
acres of the most fertile land in the val
ley for ranching.

A ReheI uniuersitu

The Rev. W. W. Howard, rector of Market Deeping, England, is relin- quishing his living after 29 years ser vice in that parish and AS years of ministerial life. He is also dean of Stamford, but this deanery is a sine cure without any stipend attached and merely entities the holder to be styled "Very reverend" It is a survival from the pre-reformation period, when Stan. ford was an important ecclesiastical center, with IA churches, besides mo nastic establishments and a "rebel'' university. Academic jealousy of this forgotten medieval university fingered almost within living memory at OK. ford, where until 1928 all candidates for the M. A. degree had to make oath that they would rever lecture at Stan. ford.

 All Year Around.

 son of Alternating.

Mount Holly, N. 1.-The beekeepers of Mount Holly, Moorestown and Bur lington are competing closely with those of the Woodbine colony and the experts of Bordentown, since fresh in terest was aroused in the industry at the recent meeting of the New Jersey State Beekeepers association. This was one of the most interesting gath erings of beekepeers that have held converse and exchanged views on the industry in New Jersey. The associa- t1on met on the farm of Charles B.. Hornor, at the edge of Mount Holly, where is located the apiary of Harold Hornor, a member of the association and a business man at Jenkintown Pa. There were two sessions, and those in attendance declare that it was one of the most profitable of the organizations assemblages.
 A quaint method of working the bees overtime was given by one of the enthusiasts, who claims that the bees really enjoy the busy" life throughout the year, when they find thOhioCiFSo WHSIc uOHey producing blossoms are plentiful. My bees now work overtime" he said. "No hiber- hating for them. In the spring I send them down south, and they toll like blazes among ths southern flowers. In the summer bring them here to the east, working them till the honey suckle and the clover are quite gone The autumn season finds them in Florida, where they make a peculiarly rich and aromatic honey from the Florida flowers. California gives them all they can do in the winter.
 Its splendid idea. I got it from those hotel keepers of Europe, who have winter hotels on the rivers and summers hotels at Dinard or Trou cille. My travelling bees yield thrice as much honey as stay-at-home ones Thank goodness, there are no labor unions among these insects"

 Miss Constance Crowley, an actress appearing at a local theater who had a room at the Burdick, attempted to rush into the burning hotel for her pet monkey, and was only prevented by firemen from doing so. Then a fire laddie found the monk scampering about the icy, water-soaked streets and rescued the chattering simian, to the actress great joy.

Venomous Varieties Cannot Readily Assimiate Anything Uninfected
 with Their Virus.

London-The snakes at the zoo are not as happy as they used to be; the rattler does not rattle with his old enthusiasm, the python has not such piercing glare in his eyes as once he had.
 The reason for this, according to in- formation given, is simple. Once upon time the authorities fed the then happy reptiles with animate food in the shape of mice and rats and pigeons. Now dinner is served dead, though to the meal, by the agency of a bit of string, as much similtude of life as possible is given. Some of the snakes. 1t is said, refuse the dead food and have to be fed by force. Tn. question at issue was: Should the snakes kill their food or should it bo killed for them by men?
 "In the case of the poisonous snakes" naturalist said, "it is high ly probable that their food cannot be readily assimilated unless it first nas been inoculated with their virus, and that, of course, cannot take place if tn animal to be eaten Is already dead. Poisonous snakes, at feast, should have live food"
