BUILD THE M'KAY PROJECT.

In striving to irrigate their lands
through use of the flood waters of
Mckay creek the farmers of that sec
ton are showing enterprise and it is
gratifying to know they are staying
with their scheme even though they
have met with obstacles.
1t should be possible to use the wa
tiers of Mckay creek for irrigation
purposes. Adjacent to that stream is
land that may be greatly improved
through the use of water. The flow
of the stream is such that the water
may be placed upon the land. AS to
how this should be done is an engi-
neering problem and the farmers have
had a capable engineer in the person
of ]. T. Whistler to advise them.
But if the Mckay project cannot
be carried out one way it may by an
other. If it cannot be carried out up
on a large scale it may be accomplish
ed upon a smaller scale. If reser-
voir cannot be constructed so as to
provide perennial irrigation at least
the flood waters can be utilized fol
winter irrigation. Experience in 9TH
er portions of eastern Oregon show
that winter irrigation may be carried
on with good results. Winter irriga-
ton means annual crops instead of BIZ
ennial crops. 1t means diversified
farming instead of wheatraising. Put
the proper amount of moisture into
the soil during the winter and spring
and then conserve it by tillage and
good yields may always be obtained
If the Mckay creek people cannot
afford a reservoir at the start they
might try winter irrigation for few
years. If they do it is the belief OF
this paper that their land will soor
become so productive and so valuable
that they will be able to build a reser'
voir and obtain perennial irrigation il
they wish to do so.
Here's to the Mckay creek farmers
and their project. Stay with the jot
gentlemen and you will win out
Nothing that's good is easy.

WOMEN AS VOLUNTEERS.

Mrs. st. Clair Stobert founded the
Women's Sick and Wounded Convoy
corps, which works in connection with
the Red Cross in England. The wo-
men who join the corps are all seri-
Gus and the work is voluntary, and
even the uniform could be said to
attract them as it is very simple and
unadorned. The women take train
ing in their work, go into camp and
30 on, and hold themselves ready in
any national emergency to go to work.

At Rexburg, Idaho, a school build
ing caught fire while 500 pupils were
busy at their desks. But the children
were we'll drilled for just such an en-
ergency and they all marched from
the burning structure and none were
injured. 1t was a triumph for disci-
pline. for the building was entirely de-
stroyed and therefore there was real
danger of a panic among the children.

HOW TO EAT WAFFLES.

The recently defeated nominee for
governor of Ohio is very fond of waf-
files.
"I have a regular formula for eat
ing waffles," said Mr.. Harding to a
friend, "and 1 recommend it to every
one. You eat the first fourteen waf-
files without syrup, but with lots of
butter Then you put syrup on the
next nine, and the last half dozen you
eat just simply swimming in syrup.
Eaten that way, waffles never hurt
anybody. Success Magazine.

CURING CATARRH.
Accept Our Advice and Try This
Remedy at Our Risk.

Catarrh is a disease Of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane
is. one may say, the interior liningoi
the body. Catarrh therefore may
exist in anv part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, inflammation
and congestion are produced and nat
sre fails TO throw off the accumulated
poisons. The organ which has been
afflicted ceases TO perform its proper
functions as nature intended 1t should.
The result is, complication upon COM
plication, which may lead to other
even more serious Affections.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward overcom
ing catarrh. 1t is made from tht
prescription of an eminent physician
WHO made long study Of catarrh
and his great success with this remedy
was an enviable one.
We want you il you are suffer-
from catarrh in any form, TO give
Rexall Mucu-Tone a thorough trial
Use it with regularity and persistence
for reasonable length of time, theI
il you are not satisfied, come bacl
and tell Us, aud without question o
formality we will hand back TO yol
every cent you paid us. This certain
ly is the fairest offer that any on
could aud should attest our sincerit

That's about all there is to it. Once

White House proclamation was not
greeted with groan. Father simply
grabbed the hatchet, mother got the
water hot, father read the proclamat-

young and female turkeys promptly
tainted from the shock. and after due
farewells the gobhler laid his head
upon the block.
No one telephoned the butcher, ask
ing what turkey cost. No one in his
deep resentment wished the Pilgrims
had been lost. No one, while the feast
proceeded, knew the t0rnent Of the

the day had set him back.
