MIMI TLLNTTT ANNUAL
IRRIGATION
CONGRESS
DECEMBER $ TO 9

| The object and purpose Of this Com
gress can best be expressed in its motto,
Save the forests, store the foods, re-
claim the deserts, make homes on the
land, . to which might be added drain
the swamp and make homes on the
land.
There are in the United States rs ,000,-
600 acres Of swamp land, non-produc-
tive, a menace to health, and deter
rent to immigration Seyenty-five thou
sand acres divided into 40-acre farms
means homes for l, 1915, 600 families, or
approximately 10000, 900 Of our oiti-
zenship This land when reclaimed will
be as healthful as land that has always
been dry, and will be the most produc-
tive of all lands, because it is composed
Of the rich soil brought down by the
rivers, deposited and mixed with the de-
cayed vegetation for centuries.
On account OF the diversified owner
ship and State complications it would
seem that the United States Government
is logically the authority to redeem these
lands along the lines pursued in the re-
clamation of the arid lands OF the West.
The results of irrigation Of the arid
lands Of the Far West and the posi-
bilities Of the drainage of the swamp
lands of the Great South, and else
where, will be given particular attention
in an elaborate program that has been
planned for this congress. Delegates
from all parts OF the country as we'll
as foreign representatives, have been in
vited, and goodly attendance is ex-
pected
Reduced fares to Chicago have been
authorized for this occasion, with dates
of sale December TO 6, inclusive. Re-
turning, original starting point must be
reached not later than December II.

local authority.
CONVERSION or DEPOSITS.
8. Applications for the conversion
OF deposits into bonds on January /,
1912, must be received before Deem
Der Is, 1911, by the postmaster at the
depository Office where the certificates
were issued. The postmaster will sup
ply an application form which must be
made out in tripiicate. The depositor
must indorse and surrender with his
application postal savings certificates
covering the amount OF the bonds de-
sired, for which the postmaster will give
him receipt. When the postmaster
receives the bonds applied for he will
notify the depositor and will deliver the
bonds on presentation Of the receipt for
the certificates surrendered.
4. The conversion Of deposits into
bonds at date less than one year after
the certificates began to bear interest
forfeits interest on the deposits as in
the case of withdrawal for any other
purpose.
5. Postal savings deposits converted
into bonJ are not counted as a part of
the maximum of $500 allowed one de-
positor, and there is no limitation on
the amount of available postal savings
bonds which may be acquired finally by |
depositor. The exchange is consid-
cred as taking effect on January |, and |
a depositor who has applied to convert
into bonds all or part Of the maximum
balance Of $500 may deposit an addi-
tional amount in January, though the
bonds may not yet have been delivered.
6. Postal savings bonds can be pro-
cured only by the conversion of postal
savings deposits and will not be issued
to persons who are not depositors They
may be sold or assigned to any person,
however, by the holder, and when a
registered bond is assigned new bond
will be issued in the name Of the owner.
REGISTERED AND COUPON BONDS.
z. The depositor's application must
Indicate whether bonds are desired in
registered or coupon form. Coupon
bonds are preferable for depositor who
intends to hold them for short time
only and who has ample facilities for
their safekeeping. These bonds are pay
able to bearer, and the title will pass by
delivery without Endorsement. Interest
on coupon bonds is collected by means
Of interest coupons, which are detached
by the holder as they become due.
Registered bonds are preferable fer
intending to hold them for a
period, and they differ
from coupon bonds in the following
(ay They have inscribed upon their
lace the names of the persons to whom
they are issued
CD They are payable only to the
person 10 whom issued or their assigns.
(c) The ownership Of registered
bonds can be transferred only by as
,ignment in proper form.
ASSIGNMENT OF BONDS.
s. Registered bonds are assigned by
he use OF form printed on the back,
dated and acknowledged.
When the assignment is made by mark
must be witnessed by at least one
person other than the officer before
vhom It is made. A ledger account is
,pened in the Treasury Department at
Washington with each holder OF one or
more registered bonds, and when such '"
,onds are assigned they should be trans
nitted by the new owner to the Secre-

AssIaNMENr BY MINORS.

u Under the regulations Of the
Treasury Demartment minor can not
assign registered bonds without the con-
sent OF duly appointed guardian or
trustee, evidence Of whose authority
must be submitted. A minor has the
r;ght to convert his postal savings GER
tificates into registered bonds, but il he
should desire to assign the bonds dur
inc his minority he must comply with

not exist in the case Of coupon bonds

fairly flew to the telephone.
In answer to her impatient sum-
mons, she was quickly connected with
Brown & Co.'S book store. Have you

The answer evidently pleased her.

Marjorie hung up the receiver with
an air of triumph. There, I'm glad
thought of that! Billy would have
construed Christmas present into an
abject apology" she said, her indig-
nation rising at the very thought OF
is,,ch a thing.
(But when she went back to her par
cells and picked up the little twig OF
holly she had intended tucking away
into one of them, her face softened. Il

The joyous ringing of Christmas
bells and merry shouts of her younger
sisters and brothers, when they dis
covered their stockings the next morn
ing, only served to emphasize her de-
preston.
BILLY never loved me; II he really
and truly did he never could treat me
like this" she told herself as she stood
looking with unseeing eyes at the
snowy Christmas world.
Just then young man. fairly tear
Gg around the corner, arrested her at
antion. 1t was no less a person than
Billy himself who was coming, post
haste, to see her.
Marjorie looked at him In won
der. What had come over Billy?
Why this sudden contrition, when, she
admitted 1t now for the first time,
even to herself she had been greatly,
II not altogether, to blame for their
quarrel.

Billy took some little time to empha-
size his appreciation of her welcome,

his pocket he produced a little copy

Marjorie was surprised for a second,
then 1t flashed over her what IL all
meant Brown & Co. had forgotten to
cancel her order and Billy had re-
.ceived the books. Billy had construed
her sending them into a humble plea
for forgiveness.
He most probably wouldn't have
come at all IL 1t hadn't been for that.
She stiffened visibly and all her love
was swallowed up in a wave OF rebel
lious pride.
"You are mistaken" she commenced
coldly, but Billy interrupted her.

with the statute labor system, have
fastened upon tho south the very worst
earth roads In tho nation, =
The FIRST and most important thing
to do Is to change our laws, abolish.
ing tho statute labor system and sub
shutting therefor the cash Tux system.
II this can be done and the work OF
improving and maintaining our roacs,
be placed IN tho hands Of mon who
arc engaged In no other occupation
and are required to give their full
time aud attention to their work all
should be satisfactory. =
No earth road can be maintained I'm
good condition unless It DO no con-
structed as to drain well, and unless
1t be kept free from ruts and holes.
The best method of maintaining an
earth road, especially prairie road,
Is by tho systematic use of the road
drag. A sand road Is never good IN.
der any circumstances, but certainly
Is not improved by browning, A sa,saa
road Is at Its best when moist, 80 it
should be left fat No one wants a
sand road, so, II possible, clay should
DO added to, ahd mixed with the sand,
making What Is known as d sand clay
road.
The old way. and It Is used today by
many. OF filling mud hole with brush
with little earth on top, cannot be Z
too strongly condemned. and IL only
permissible in cases OF emergency,
when II is impossible to drain the hole
or to get sand or stone to al t. The
overseer or foreman should In dry
weather center his work on such
places until the road II raised to a
sufficient height to drain well Many
overseers have brush hauled two miles
TO Ill mud hole. when sand Is within
distance Of It.
If our farmers do not take a COM
interest In the improvement
Of the roads and put their shoulders
TO the wheel we will surely remain
''stuck In the mud. Good Roads.

1t matters not how active we are In
our efforts to encourage the construc-
ton OF macadam, gravel and other
hard surface roads, there will OF ueces.
sity, for years To come. be a greater
percentage OF earth roads in every

The reasons for this are apparent to
any one familiar with conditions from
financial and population standpoint. to
say nothing OF the lack OF road building
material that exists In large number
OF counties.
We are Informed by the United

ten southern states-namely. Alabama,
Arkansas. Florida. Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi North Carolina, South Car
DINA, Tennessee and Texas, had. in
1904, II2,5@ miles IT Cuimproved

mileage of improved roads has doubled,
we viii have left laS,3Si miles, II
these figures are approximately cor.
rect, should not the question OF the
proper construction and maintenance
OF these roads receive our most careful
and thoughtful attentiong
Wonderful improvements have been
made IN earth roads where common
sense men have used common sense
methods of construction and mainte-
nance, but so long as we are content
to place this important work In the
hands OF Incompetent or grating
politicians, rs is so often tho case. we
cannot expect anything but the worst.
All failures IN this work are not due
to graft, for large majority Of road
commissioners and overseers are HON

to Office not because OF their fitness
for tho work, but because OF their per.
sonal popularity. These evils, coupled
