of tile themselves form ventilating
fiues and after each successive rain,
the air is driven out Of the soil by the
water and fresh air liz drawn in as the
tile removes the water from beneath.
title drainage deepens the soil from
which plants may draw their food sup
ply by lowering the fine of excessive
water beyond injury to the roots. 1t
affords to plants a deeper soil for their
roots to penetrate, at the rate of 100
tons per acre for every inch of depth
gained. 1t prevents pudding Of the
soil while it Ia being worked by MAX
ing 1t dry enough to easily pulverize
and greatly reduces the cost of ttlage
and other farm operations by making
the soil flrmer and easier to work. 1t
removes alkali and other soluble Calts
from the soil. These salts are fatal
to the growth of vegetation and are
apt to exist In harmful Quantities in
poorly drained land
Drainage also makes the soil warm
er by reducing the cooling effect of
evaporation from the surface so that
a well drained piece of land viii show
a temperature of several degrees high
err in the spring than an undrained ad-
jacent piece of land. In this way ger
mination at the start and the growing
season Is effectively heightened. This
is not only of great value In the rails
ing of wheat, but especially so in the
raising of corn.
Strange as it may seem drainage
not only removes the surplus water,
but mitigates the effect of dry weather
by increasing the available amount of
moisture This it does by increasing
the depth of the root system. 1t is
we'll known that shallow root sys-
tenn, always due to too much water In
the soil, will suffer from drouth as
soon as the water table recedes and
the surface dries up. This condition
is very noticeable in many parts of the
Red River valley, where after a wet
spring the yield is often greatly re-
duced by a weak or two Of hot, dry
weather. condition which would not
hurt the grain nearly so If the roots
were deeper and better developed"

tile DRAINAGE;
ITS ADVANTAGES
A. c. PROFESSOR TELLS SOME.
THING or VALUE OF THIS
METHOD or GETTING RID OF
WATER-DRAlNED LAND WILL
STAND THE DROUGHT BETTER.

Farmers everywhere are commence
Ing to realize the fact that the removal
Of excessive water by drainage is one
first essentials to good farming" said
r. M Dolve, assistant professor of ag-
ricultural engineering, at the A. C. to-
day. They are rapidly learning the
difference between field that has
been dried by evaporation and one that
has been dried by tile drainage. The
former bakes hard and makes at best a
poor seed bed, while the latter becomes
porous and permeable, allowing the
plant roots to seek greater depths
where they find new nourishment not
available in an undrained field.
one Of the most apparent effects of
drainage is to rid the soil of SURPLUS
water. Plants cannot live in a water
logged soil as the surplus water fills
all the spaces between the soil parti-
cles to tile exclusion of all air. This
surplus water is known as gravita-
tional water and can move only down
wards In obedience to gravity. For
this reason, although the immediate
surface may dry out by evaporation. a
water logged soil will retain it's sur
plus water for an indefinite period de-
pending upon it's permeability. In a
closely grained soil this water will
remain so long in the soil after seeding
has been done in the spring that a
shallow root system is later subject to
drouth and lack of plant food is
formed
Tile drainage improves the soil by
better ventilation. The roots Of the
plants need air as well a the stems
and leaves above the ground, but
when the soil is Allied with water the
necessary amount of air is in large
measure excluded. Air is also essen
tial in the soil to aid the processes of
nitriacation and one of the chief rea-
sons why large yields are secured on
drained land Is that more nitrogen is
made available. Tile drainage helps
to ventilate the soil by causing it to
dry out deeper, leaving spaces through
which the air readily passes. The lines

to have been the most deadly blow ever
aimed at the bucket shop business in
this country was the second step in the
crusade against bucket shops upon
which the department Of justice re-
Gently embarked The next step likely
to be taken this week is expected to
be even more sensational thanks to
the evidence obtained in the raids.
1t is confidently believed it will lead
to the arrest and conviction of the
men higher up" in this nationwide
conspiracy to defraud the unsophisti-
Gated and stamp out for all time this
traffic.
The father of the bill under which the
government Is conducting the investi-
cation is Rep. Charles F. Scott (Kan-
sas.)
The investigations are being con-
Quoted by Chief Stanley w. Finch of
the bureau of Investigation. Chief
Finch has been connected with the de-
partment of justice for seventeen years,
ten of which were spent in the field as
an examiner detailed to collect evil
dence in cases before the federal
courts scattered over the United
States and Alaska. Then for six years
he was chief examiner in charge OF
this work, all of which time he was
familiarizing himself with men and
affairs throughout our entire conti-
mental jurisdiction-an ideal training
for the chief of big detective force.
The bucket shop octopus made ia
tai step when 1t dared to grasp Wash
| ington with one of its greedy tenta-
cies, just after enactment of a recent
law which makes bucket shopping In
the District of Columbia an offense
against the United States for which a
violator can spend two years in the
Ipenitentiary, besides paying a fine of
$4,000.
| Had this one tentacle not reached
within the sacred limits of the national
capital the federal authorities would
have had no jurisdiction. But this one
| tenacle made the whole monster a
trespasser upon Uncle Sam, and gave
him the right to strike not only at the
arm which clutched at the federal city
but at all of the other tentacles serv-
| ing over the land.

ia most startling. To Mr.. Reynolds
was turned over the working out Of the
evidence and he secured the co-opera-
ton of the women, one OF whom was
sent to Seattle and the other to Ju-
neau.
AT these places the women went to
work to become acquainted with the
underworld. They made friends with
scores OF keepers Of disorderly resorts,
and finally the young woman In Alaska
told some of her underworld acquaint-
ances there that she was going to New
York to get some new girls"
That sounded good to the men and
women of the disorderly resorts. New
York seemed far OFF, but they all had
friends here. and at the request OF the
young woman investigator several pro-
prierors of resorts gave her letters to
persons in New York where she was
told that she could buy girls "at a rea-
sonable figure
This investigator stopped off at Seat

Starting on their actual work they
found the way an easy one. They were
received with joy at all the places to
which they had introduction. They
professed to know absolutely nothing
about New York. Sometimes they went
out in company with Mr.. Reynolds.
Finally the two college women found
