MISSOURI WATERWAY COMMITS
SION CALLS ATTENTION TO
NEED OF LEGISLATION.
STATE is WELL ADVANCED
Has Shown Far More Progress Than
Many Other States in Solving
Vital ProbIems-Much Vet
to Be Done.

That this session Of the legislature
win produce some highly progressive
legislation on the subject of water in
its various aspects is the opinion of
many of the Legislators of both parties
in each house.
The report of the Missouri Water
way Commission has called attention
TO the growing problems within the
state and it is apparent that the law
makers are to keep up the standard
which they have already set for this
state.
Missouri is one of the few states to
have a waterway commission, and the
report of that commission shows a
careful and thorough study of the con-
ditions in the state, and that the state
is itself far in advance of others IN
the intelligent handling of these prob
lens.
1t is thought that the life of the
commission will be indefinitely ex-
tended under an increased apprOpria-
ton in order that these subjects may
be more fully investigated, and the
facts found made the basis of intelli-
gent action.
The subjects to be investigated are:
The community water supply and its
relation to the public health; the dis
posal of sewage so as to prevent con-
tamination Of water supply; the main
tenance of the ground water level and
the flow Of streams and springs
through improved agriculture and for
estry, and the prevention Of floods and
bank erosion; the navigation of the
waters; the conditions and benefits of
drainage and levees and levee build
ing; and the development Of the water
power resources Of the state.
Each OF these subjects is of vital
Importance and intimately concerns Il
vast number Of people in the state, so
that it is thought that investigation on
these lines will be welcomed. and it is
certain that Legislators will endear
themselves to their constituents by
the continuance Of this work
The general water law will probably
provide for state supervision in the
matter of disposal of power sites and
water supply privileges, and encour-
age the drainage and levee work, and
the much needed reforestation, with
the view Of preventing floods and the
washing of the fertile surface soil CT
the farms.

The Frog that went A-Fishine.


A frog once went a-fshing
Down in a little brook;
He hadn't any fish line,
He hadn't any hook.
The only thing that he could do
To keep the fish in sight
Was just to climb up on a rock
and croak with all his might.
The little fishes came in droves
A-Sailing up the stream;
And Froggie's heart went pit-a-pat
And how his eyes did gleaml
The men are very foolish
Who fish with hook and line;
tbs easier far to sit and croak; -
But now | think I'll dine"
So in among the startled fish,
He leaped with might and main
And then-he climbed up on the
rock
And gan to croak again.

the rivers Is a loss TO the STATE, either
as land actually destroyed or good
land ruined by water scraping. Eight
thousand acres are equal to 100 80
acre farms, which, at a value Of 500
per acre. equal 100000, md the COM
mission figures this a. an annual
drain upon the resources Of the state.
The legislature Will be asked to con-

with q view to discover ways and
means OF preventing this loss.

100 FARMS FALL
INTO RIVER YEARLY
CASH VALUE OF LOST SOIL is
OVER 100000.
Missouri Waterway Commission Dis.
covers That Missouri River Alone
Steals 5000 Acres.

According to figures presented by
the Missouri Waterway Commission in
its report to the legislature more
than 5000 acres Of the states area
is each year Topped OFF by the rivers
of the state, and as an asset is for
ever lost.
The conclusion of the Commission
is arrived at by calculations from Of
fetal figures of what the tons of mud
and silt of the rivers equal in acres.
The United States government figures
for the weight of sand, mud and silt,
in solution and suspension, in the
Missouri river alone are 435, 900 900
tons annually (Which, by the way, is
from twenty to thirty times the an
nual production from all the farms,
mines, quarries, sand banks and clap
pits of the state). The average depth
of the cutting of the Missouri river is
about twenty-five feet, as it cuts both
above and below the ordinary water
level An acre of land 25 feet thick
weighs ESTIMATED at 100 pounds to
the cubic FOOT 54,45O tons, hence
the average loss to the state each
year is 5000 acres, or from IS to 20
acres per mile of the Miss6uris
length in the state.
Allowances are made by the Com.
mission for the sand and soil in the
rivers, which come from surface wash,
and are therefore not among the
acres really destroyed by falling into
the rivers. However, this soil is really
more valuable THAI that which
sloughs off into the rivers, for the
larger part Of the land which the
rivers gnaw away is not under cult!
walton; but almost all of the soil
washed down from the higher lands
is the covering of farms under cul,
tivation. The virgin soil does not
wash OF. The commission, therefore,
takes the position that al the snil IN

If there is any country in MisSOu-

that county is Monroe. 1t is need

protection of the records of the
county. In case of the court house
burning all county and land records
would doubtless be destroyed.

Paris should come across with part
of the cost, if the new building is to
be at Paris, it is a dead certain fact
the new court house is needed and
should be built.

Baked Beans Hard Hit.

Another tradition shattered. BoS-

White, lecturing at the Harvard
medical school, hands the bean a
body blow. He calls it VIGOROUSLY
hard to digest.
AS to other staple articles of
food, he says: twenty-five cents
worth of beef juice yields only six
parts of value to the body, the
same value in eggs yields 700 parts,
and of milk 1900 parts. In other
words, it requires from fifteen to
thirty glasses of beef juice to equal
the food value of one glass of good
milk"
