VICTOR L. BERGER

Since the Milwaukee election
Victor l., Berger has become n
national character and the people
are enquiring who he is? He is
and has been the leading spirit in
Milwaukee for years. Berger is
one Of the best loved and most
hated man in Wisconsin.
He is one of the founders Of the
national socialist party, member
Of its executive committee and one
OF its two representatives in the
international body which meets
periodically in Brussels.
On his recent visit to Europe he
was welcomed everywhere by i'm

FRlAR LANDS

The principal purpose Of the
Philippine government in acquir-
ing the Friar lands was to solve
the agrarian troubles of which
they were the continual cause, and
which, indeed, contributed SO
largely to the revolution against
Spain. The intention was to give
preference in the acquisition of
these lands to the tenant families
who had cultivated them from
time immemorial-an arrangement
satisfactory TO all concerned. But
now, by this sale, there is re-
created the same situation which
necessitated the purchase from the
Friars, the only difference being
that the sugar trust is a more
powerful corporation than the re-
ligious orders ever were.-El ITEM.

WATER AND AIR

The lavish use of water is the
direct cause of many serious irri-
CATION difficulties. In fact, some
of the most profitable and highly
developed irrigation farming in
this country owes its existence
and prosperity to a scarcity OF
water supply. So long us farmer
has an abundance of water he
almost invariably yields to the
temptation to use it freely, even
though he gets no increase in re-
turn as n result.
Air in and about the roots of
plants and trees is as essential as
water. Hence it follows that water
should not exclude the air and the
surface of the ground should not
be packed down too hard but kept
pulverized SO as to admit the air
more easily.

Among those in this part Of the state
who are working to bring Colonel
Walker into the contest are two prom.
