THE IRRIGATIoN CONGRESS.

One of the greatest meetings Of
the year for the West will be the
National Irrigation Congress to be
held in Pueblo September $3.50.
The high price of living and the
probability that the United States
will soon cease to be an exporter Of
farm products are serious problems
for the consideration Of all citizens.
The National Irrigation Congress, IN
promoting the reclamation of waste
land and a more scientific agricul-
ture, presents possible solution.
Irrigation, drainage, forestry, deep
waterways-all present big ques-
tions. Great minds agree as to their
Importance, even when differing az
to their solution. The Irrigation
Congress devotes its attention, which
means the earnest study and effort
Of some of the leading economists
and most prominent businessmen In
the country, to the solution OF prac-
tical questions. 1t is the every re-
spect helpful institution and one
that should have the support and en-
couragement of business interests.
The Irrigation Congress means q
great deal to Kansas which has been
a leader in irrigation ideas and Il Is
one Of the influential factors in the
congress. Ralph H. Faxon of Car
den City is head of the publicity de-
partment and is a good one. He IL
an enthusiastic worker for the irri-
cation and is accomplishing great
things for the Arkansas valley. Ar
thur Hooker, the secretary, is one OF
the nations most capable men and
he, as well as President b. A. Fow-
Ter, have put into the congress a help
fulness that means much to its sue
cess.
For the eighteenth annual meet
ing at Pueblo, the program will be at
tractive, practical and instructive. A
notable feature OF this congress will
be in the effort TO emphasize the
practical side Of irrigation and draw
out, to a larger extent than ever be-
fore practical discussions Of papefs
and addresses. The present outlook
promises an Irrigation Congress
memorable for attendance and re-
suits achieved.

THE COUNTRY SCHOOL TEACHER

Can you give an account OF the 10
Iledo War and describe Its import
Iance? You will not find 1t mentioned
in the index Of Woodrow Wilson's
History of the American People, fol
example; but the school commits
sioners want to know. What mus
be the diameter of cylindrical tank
whose depth is five feet five inches
to hold five hundred fifty-two and 9
half gallons? Do the industries OF .
locality change, and If so give the
reasons?
Out Of twenty examples the mental
arlthmetIc-such as, one hundred
and twelve is elght-fifths of how
many times nine?-how many can
you do in twenty minutes? Can you
illustrate a compound-complex dec
laxative sentence?
The above are culled from one
hundred and thlrty-five questions
which candidates for second-grade
teachers certificates are supposed to
answer Any one who answers them
can teach the multiplication table
in a country school at thirty-five dol
liars month. Obviously, compound
complex declarative sentence anC
finding the diameter of cylinder o!
a certain depth aid capd'lty are the
merest dry bones Of pedagogy. The
only earthly reason why anybody
would wish to know them is that ne
can't teach a country school unless
he does.
Having duly qualified himself BY
storing this dusty rubbish In his
brain he-or rather sidewalks a
mile and half through the snow,
builds her fires empties her ashes,
instructs Glass B that two times two
are four, and for doing that she re-
REEVES about dollar per diem.

DICKINSON 90. PAYS DEAR
FOR ENGLISH PHEAsANTs.
Does Not Receive Any Benefit From
Hunting License Money.

What do you think OF English
Pheasants at 500 a bird? At thai
price 1t would seem that there should
be q good profit in raising the game
fowls, yet nobody seems to have TAX
en- up the business. Dickinson county
has invested in these birds at about
that rate, but there is chance that
even the cruel and beaurocratic state
government will see that it should
throw something in Ito boot"
Dickinson county has received as
her sole return from the state for the
hunters license money annually turn
ed in exactly twenty English Pheas-
ants They were turned out two sea
sons ago and nobody knowshow many
of them there are now or where they
are. The state received from Dickin-
son county in return for thes twenty
birds, some $4,000, and that is the
way the price Of $500 per bird was
arrived at.
The game law was enacted some
five years ago and each year the lie
ense fees at 81 each from Dickinson
county hunters has run well up in the
hundreds. Last year we paid in
S4S7 and not even fee was permit
ted the county clerk for doing the
work. There are los counties in the
state and if each contributed an av-
erage Of half that sum, the state
would receive close to $21, 900.
So far as can be learned, the state
uses the money for the maintenance
81 the Game warden's department,
although paying nothing to deputy
wardens and the state fish hatchery
at Pratt. Thus far this county has
received no benefit from the hatch
cry, and 1t would seem the part Of
ordinary Yankee thrift for Dickinson
county people to get what they can
from the S4s7 annual contribution.
r. G. Tonkin sent in his resign
alton some time ago as deputy game
warden. He says that the state
would not furnish him fees to make
arrests He said: II sent word to 'heI
state game warden that certain per
sons IN Dickinson county we're dyna-
hitting the river to catch fish and
wanted $50 to pay my expenses 70 go
and put them under arrest Do you
think l received the $50 by wirelessf
No. I did not hear from them after
asain notifying the state warden
about the game Law being violated %
I resigned"
