And After Meeting Claim Their Line Will Beat the Rock Island
 Through Rice Belt.

Hagen, Aug. 27.-The Cotton Belt is going to beat the Rock Island with a railroad line through the rich rice belt of Prairie county.
 This assertion was made by rep resentatives of the Cotton Belt fol- lowing mass meeting held here to- night for the purpose of procuring a right of way into. this place and ter minals at this end of the proposed line between Hazen and Stuttgart.
 The meeting was called by Judge Robert M. Foster of St. Louis, who promoted the Central Arkansas and Eastern and turned it over to the Cotton Belt and is now promoting a line from the eastern terminus of the C.. A. & E. by way of Stuttgart, to Hagen, ostensibly for the purpose of letting the Cotton Belt have it al- so.
 A number of Cotton Belt men at tended the meeting, at which many Hagen business men were present, the result being that the decision was reached to hurry the completion of the Foster venture. The line be- tween Hagen and Stuttgart to within five miles of HaZen and, now that arrangements have been made to get the right of way on into this place, there is nothing left in the way of the rapid completion of this end of the road.
 Grading work also is in progress on the extension of the Central Ar kansas and Eastern to complete the line from England to Stuttgart This is what is known as the Cotton Belt cutoff since that road acquired the Foster line, and it makes shorter route by 23 miles between Little Rock and Stuttgart
 The Cotton Belt people here to- night predict that they will have a line in operation through the rice belt long before the Rock Island does the latter having begun at Mesa Mon- day to build from that place to Stutt- gart. The two lines will run almost parallel through Prairie county.

$500 ROLL WAS

Ray Morts Thought He Has Los
 His Wheat Money.

Logansport, Ind, Aug. 27.- Ray Morts tore his hair needlessly when he reached here and found that $500 received for his wheat crop was missing. Morts came to town to bank the money.
 Back home his wife noticed the chickens pecking away at a wad too tough to yield to their pecking and found it was a roll of bills.
 Inside the house the phone went z-zt-ting-a-ling, and Mrs. Mortz ans wered. 1t was her husband at the other end of the line. In a worried tone, I'm afraid I've lost that wheat money he said.
 No, you haven't assured his wife, and told him all about it. Then Morts laughed.

CALFLESS COW
 ADOPTS PIGS
Bereaved Mother and Little Orphans
 Are Very Devoted.

Owensville, Ind, Aug. 27.- Reese Gentry, a prominent farmer living near Mount Vernon, has a COW on his farm that adopted a litter of pigs after her twin calves were sold to a butcher. It happened that the pig gies became motherless about the time the COW became calfless.
 The grief-stricken COW wandered about the farm, hunting something tc coddle, when her eyes spied the squealing orphan pigs, and it was love at sight. The old COW does the mother act until it comes to grunting, and it must be admitted that she is shy on that art.
 The pigs do the calf stunt by stand ing on their hind legs and bracing themselves against their foster moth- CT while taking nourishment.

Comparisons Made in Short Crop Year Shows it Is
 "Crop Insurance"
POTATOES SHOW GAIN
Wheat 33 Per Cent Better, According to Actual Experience Had on
 Demonstration Farms.

Calgary, Alberta, Aug. 27.--Short crops have brought the farmers of Southern Alberta up with a short turn to respectful consideration of irrigation as crop insurance. There never has been a time when the great irrigation project and the dem- onstration farms of the Canadian Pacific railway were so much in the lmelight locally as now because rainfall for previous crops has been abundant and irrigation cheerfully ignored. Hereafter the farmers in the great areas which have water avail able from the Canadian Pacific's s canals and laterals probably will pre- pare their ground for irrigation if something most of them did not do this year.
 The contrast between irrigated and non-irrigated crops by this general neglect has become a subject of ac- tive inquiry, the results had on the demonstration farms serving as con- vincing proof that irrigation is most profitable.
 Comparisons made in the crops un- der irrigation as compared to average crops without in the year 1908 have been reduced to percentages of gain by irrigation as follows:

Per

SOlolI iCllOll IS we'll ulluer Way now of the supplementary and larg- est portion of the project upon which the Canadian Pacific railway com- pany will expend in all 20,000,- 900, contracts having been let this year under an appropriation made in January of $12,000.000 for the canals which will add 7S0,000 acres to the area irrigable and bring the total area to which the project will furnish water for irrigation up to 1,150,000 acres. The contracts will require the moving of 40,000,000 yards of dirt.
 Estimates of what this will mean in the increase of population in the Irrigated region were made by Prof F. H. Nowell, director of the United States Reclamation Bureau, who has visited the project because it is much the largest one in the content, II believe that the Bow River Valley district ,wil ultimately have a rural population of 300,OO0 and the urban population will, of necessity, be the same, making a total of 60000o peo- ple.'
 ln the districts where crops are short this year the experience was needed to bring about more diversi- fled farming. The farmers say they will not have all the eggs in one basket again-a wholesome reform which banking, commercial and railway men say is much to be de- sired. Year after year of record breaking crops has tended to impair the prudence of hard-headed men from the United States, England and Eastern provinces and they take long and needless chances and over-ex- tend themselves in the matter of land buying. The short crop will make this region fundamentally more sound" said one man. I've have been needing a lesson, and will profit by it. The crops on thousands of acres would have been far better this year if the farmers had not disregarded the irrigation supplies at hand and risked their crop in land not pre- pared for irrigation.
 The need of a paternal hand in the management of water after the land has been paid for, has been provid- ed for in the plan under which the railroads great project has been put in. The unfortunate experience of communities which must take over the management of an irrigation sys- tenn as soon as paid for has confirmed the belief that that plan, generally followed in the United States, will have to be altered before the best re- suits will be obtained.

From the Farewell Address.


OF all the dispositions and habits
which lead to political prosperity. re-
ligion and morality are Indispensable
supports In vain would that man
claim the tribute Of patriotism who
should labor to subvert these great
pillars of human happiness. these
firmest props OF the duties Of men
and citizens. The mere politician,
equally with the pious man, ought to
respect and cherish them. A volume
could not trace all their connections
with private and public felicity. Let
it simply be asked where is the Sc
curity for property, for reputation
for life, if the sense of religious OBJ
legation deserts the oaths which are
the instruments of investigation in
courts Of justice? And let us with
caution indulge the superstition that
morality can be maintained without
religion Whatever may be conceded
to the influence of refined education
on minds of peculiar structure. rea-
son and experience both forbid us to
expect that national morality can pre-
vail in exclusion Of religious princi-
