SENATOR BORAH FIGHTING
FOR IRRIGATION BONDS

Washington. D. c. - According
10 plans formed last night, the item
providing for the issue of $4,000 600
certificates for irrigation plants will
be added to the conservation bill next
week if the latter measure is brought
before the senate. There have been
determined efforts to kill the GER
tificate project and to prevent action
in any form. The opposition came
from the Cannon forces in the house
and the Aldrich forces in the senate.
The project was in charge of Senator
Borah, who determinedly battled for
it, finally compelling absolute pledges
from the Aldrich- Cannon leaders that
they would support it. It developed,
however, that it was only after a
pitched battle between the Borah
progresslves and the other factions
that victory was won for the prO-irri-
cation adherents.
1t is asserted by some here that
power site interests desired to stop
giving aid to irrigation altogether and
to leave entirely to private enterprise
all development Of arid lands.
It is known that this week a let
ter was received from Louis w. Hill
president Of the Great Northern. ad-
vocating that the government keep
away from central Oregon, leaving 1t
"for private enterprise to prove what
can be done in the next few years y
This yetter taken in connection with
other letters Hill has written is ac-
cepted proof that powerful influences
are at work to emasculate the fed
eral irrigation service. But unless
unexpected weakness will force the
$3O,00O,00O in certificates provisic

What a Summer Cold May Do.

A summer cold II neglected is just
as apt to develop into bronchitis or
pneumonia as at any other season.
DO not neglect it. Take Foley's Hon

cough, soothes and heals the inflam-
ed air passages, and expels the cold
from the system. Koeppen Bros.

SEDALIA TELEGRAPH
SCHOOL,
Sedalia, Mo.

We are still unable to supply the
demand made upon us for the
graduates of the Sedalia Telegraph
School. This week we have receiv-
ed calls from the Santa Fe, the c. B
& O., the Rock Island and the X. c.
s. Railways-all paid positions, but
have not the graduates with which
to fill them.
The numerous requests we re-
ceive enable us to give an absolute
guarantee of well paid position to
every graduate of the Sedalia Tele-
graph School. The success of our
graduates and the demand for them
is a guaranty Of the superiority of
our course of instruction
From six to nine months spent
in this school prepares the student
for life employment at rates OF pay
that cannot be duplicated at the
same expense of time and money
The inducements for preparing for
and entering the railway service
are many, not the least of which is
the rapid promotion Of the ambiti-
GUS young men and the increased
pay attendant upon every promo
ton
1t is one line of work that is new
er overcrowded with applicants.
You have never seen telegraph
operators advertising for positions
They are always employed if they
are of good character and habits.
Write or call and let us tell you
or show you what the Sedalia Tele.
graph School can do you YOU.

The Trespasser.

Up in Minnesota Mr.. Olsen1had a
COW killed by a railroad train. In
due season the claim agent for the
railroad called.
We understand, of course, that
the deceased was a very dOcile and
valuable ANIMAL" said the claim
agent in his most persuasive claim
agentlemanly manner, and we
sympathize with you and your
family in your loss. But, Mr. Olsen,
YOU must remember this Your
Nv had no business being upon
CIR tracks. Those tracks are our
private property and when she in
vaded them she became a tres
passer. Technically speaking, you,
as her owner, became a treSpasSer
also. But we have no desire to
carry the issue into court and pos.
sibly give you trouble. Now then
what would you regard as a fair
settlement between you and the
railroad company?'

A farmer had a dream. He
dreamed that he raised four thous-
and bushels of corn and that he was
happy over the fact. Then he
dreamed that he sold it for fifty
cents a bushel and his happiness
was greater. But he dreamed now
that he sold it to four thousand
different people, a bushel to each
one, and that no one had paid him
and he was sad. When he awoke
it was broad day light, and leaping
out of bed exclaimed to his wife;
"Rebecca, l have had a solemn
warning and know the meaning
of it. l am going right off to town
and pay that printer the dollar
owe him for that paper."-Ex.

The worst habit that boys can
fall into is that of loafing around
on the streets at night. 1t is then
they cast their lot in slippery
places when at any moment they
are likely to fall from grace. All
good and noble lessons taught
them by their mothers are there
counteracted and nulIified. They
learn nothing that is good-but
everything bad. The boys who
spend their evenings in the sacred
precincts of home, with good books
for their companions are the future
hope of this republic; they will fill
our legislative and congressional
halls, and sit in Judgment upon
men and measures, while the boys
who run the streets will fill oul
penitentiarieS aimhouses and luna
tic asylums. Parents who are re
sponsible Tor these broken laws o.
decency will have broken hearts
and boWed heads in the awakening
years thai will inevitably follow

Looking for Husbands.


The Orient steamship Osterley
left one of the ports IN England not
many days ago, bound for Australia
and conveying a cargo which, in
part, presented a striking and pic
turesque sight.
There were 10 young women on
board, Australia bound, there to ac-
cept the fate which that newer
world has in store for them.
They will return to England no
more, in all probability; or at least
a majority of them must have left
the home scenes forever.
A chief incentive in their going
away is that there are no husbands
for them in England, and they have
a conviction that conditions will
prove to be better in Australia.
Our sweethearts cannot earn
enough in free trade, England to
keep Us" a spokeSwoman for the
party is quoted as saying.
1t is quite likely that the young
lady did not put in tie free trade
part of her statement. That would
have been put in by the intelli-
gent correspondent. suitin9 his story
to the market in which he expected
to sell it, That, however, is a minor
detail; the fact remains that more
than hundred young women are
leaving the Old World in search of
chance to we'd
A thought is suggested by this
spectacle. Time was when the sur

mated on our shore in the heroic
years, and the JillS were glad to
brave the then tremendous voyage
in order to become happy wives
and mothers.
They are not coming here any
more nor indeed, are any of the
Northern European peoples, eth

improved conditions in the United

cannot earn enough to keep the girl
