Tlz Cured Her Quick.

If you have sore feet, tired feet,
sweaty feet, lame feet, tender feet,
smelly feet, corns callouses or bun
ions, read what happened to Mrs.
Crockett, of Jerseyville. TIZ DID 1T.
Mr. Crockett says: "After the second
treatment she walked down stairs one
foot at time. She had not been able
to walk downstairs before in past five
years, except by stepping down on
each step with one foot at a time. This
is remarkable. Send five more boxes.
No matter what ails your feet or
what under heaven you have used
without getting relief, just use TIZ.
It's different 1t acts right OFF. 1t
cures sore feet to stay cured. It's the
only foot remedy ever made which acts
on the principle OF drawing out all the
poisonous exudations which cause sore
feet. Powders and other remedies
merely clog up the pores. TIZ cleans
them out and keeps them clean. You
will feel better the first time it's used.
Use it a week and you can forget you
ever had sore feet There is nothing
on earth that can compare with ii.

To the ReformatOry.

Wilton, N. d., Jan. 1s.-Lawrence
Fern was taken to Mandan by Deputy
Sheriff Robert Cotton, where he was
remanded to the state reformatory.
The cause of this journey to the west
side Of the river originated in a com
plant made by Mrs. j. W. Olson,
against Lawrence for taking money
from her residence. A warrant was
according sworn out for the young
man to appear before Justice F'alconer.
The evidence in the case proved con-
clusively that Lawrence was guilty
and he was ordered by the justice to
appear before Judge Winchester, who
was holding court at Mandan. The
judge after listening to the sworn
statement of Robert Cotton and the
boys mother, decided to. send him to
the reform school at Mandan.

rights are held individually by
the landholders, while the dis
trict water is held collectively by
the district and distributed equal
ly to the lands of the district
through the same bitches and
laterals carrying the old water
rights.
The San Luis Valley Irrigation
district purchased the old water
rights. Hence, all the water there
will be under district management.
This latter plan entails a heavier
bonding of the land to pay for
the present water rights and
is not necessary for the formation
of the district or its success
full operation. The bitches now
in existence for distribution of
water to the lands can also be
used to carry the reservoir water,
where the same can be discharged
into existing bitches and laterals.
There are absolutely no legal
obstacles to carrying out this
irrigation and drainage develop
ment under our irrigation dis
trict laws. The seepage bitches,
run on the section lines, will
provide the necessary drainage and
will develop water worth, to the
district, several times the cost of
their construction.
Don't lose sight of the fact
that the water developed by
draining your land, through these
seepage bitches, is worth to you,
as a member of the district, more
than the cost OF draining your
land.

LEGAL FEATURES OF DISTRICT DRAINAGE MATTER
of Qualifications for Officers and Voters
The System Affords Opportunity to Force
Spectators to Pony Up."
From The AInrnosn Courier.

We shall endeavor this week to
set forth some of the legal points
involved in the formation of the
Alamosa Irrigation district in
order that the farmers may have
a more clear and comprehensive
understanding of what the pro
cedure OF the organization and
operation of the district will be.
In the first place, only qualified
electors Tor general state elec-
tions, who reside in any of the
counties in which the district is
located, and who have paid taxes
assessed III their own names the
previous year on at least forty
acres of land located within the
district, are entitled to partici-
pate in the formation of the dis
trict or to vote on any propo-
stiun rc'ltive to the government
or mana cement of the district.
"sus to participate in the af-
laus Of the district, you must
be legal elector of one of the
counties in which the district or
part of it is located. You vote
in that precinct of the district
where the greater portion of
your land in the district is To-
Gated.
The signers of the petition for
.le formation of the district must
have the qualifications above set
forth
Nonresident land-holders, or
land-holders who are not quail
fled electors. under the general
election laws of the state, have
no voice in the formation Of the
district, the election Of officers
therefor, or the voting of the

.LEDDY REPORTS ARE
VERY MISLEADING

Mr.. Leddy, the public examiner
from the state auditors office,
who is going around the state
in an endeavor to find something
with which to discredit Republi-
cans and to distract the attention
Of the public from the incompe-
fence, and wanton waste of the
states funds by the Democratic
party, has been in CoStilla coun-
ty and has issued n report, which,
upon its face, looks bad for the
officials of that eX eptioually well
managed county but which would
not look bad at all if the whole
truth had been told.
1t is true that they have eX-
pended more money in that coun-
ty for officers salaries in the past
three years than the law antici-
pates for a county of that class,
but a most unusual condition oc-
Cured in that county, condition
such as has never happened to any
other county in the state and
which made the extra expenditure
absolutely necessary. There was
large land grant in that county
which had been assessed and taxed
during all the years as one tract.
There was but one entry in the
assessor s book, and but one en-
try in the treasurer book for
the entire Trinchera estate. a
large part of that estate, probabl.
/ 900 acres, as we now remem-
ber, was divided up into five acre
tracts, thus making something
more than 10000 small tracts.
Taese small tracts were sold out
at a public drawing. a section OF
land was also cut up into town
lots and sold in like manner.
This made more than thirty
thousand deeds to record and
more than thirty thousand en-
tries in the assessors books, and
like number in the treasurer S
books instead of the one entry
that had represented the same
land before.
Then again, the Holland estate
in the southern part of the
county, owned by Senator c. j.
Hughes, D. H. Moffat, eX-Con-
gresham Brooks and others, has
been divided into small tracts
and much of it sold out.
All of this mountain of work
thrown upon the county in the
past three years in this way has
made extra help absolutely neces
sary in the offices of the county
clerk, county treasurer and
county assessor. More help
than the law contemplates for a
county of that class had to be
employed or leave much of the
work undone, and the extra help
had to be paid. True, the extra
money coming into the treasury
supplied the funds with which tc
pay the extra help, but Mr.. Ledd,
has been careful not to report
any of these facts.
This man Leddy also complains
because they allow the county
judge $500 per year, and the
amount the fees of the office
lack of paying that sum the
county makes up. The county
commissioners do this on the

USE DRY FARMING.
Prof. Jardine Says 1t Could

Tells How the Crops Should Be
Rotated.
USE DRY FARMING.

Manhattan, Kan, March 2.-Thou-
sands of acres of land that ought to
oe producing crops and making money
Ior the owners are lying idle in west
efn Kansas. These acres are in what
Is known as the dry farming belt, west
Oh line running through the east
part of Smith, Osborne, Barton, STAFF
ford and Barber counties ACCORDING
to w. M Jardfne, professor of agron-
omy at the Kansas State Agriculture
college. all that is needed to make
much of this land productive is the
application of the principles of dry
farming.
The rainfall for the eastern third
OF this dry belt is about 20 inches, de-
creasing westward until the minimum
OF 10 inches or less is reached about
the colorado line. To get the best re-
Sults IN the eastern part of the district,
MT Jard1ne would use a five-year ro-
tatlon. The first years crop would be
corn 1oIlowed by oats or barley on
the corn stubble the next spring.
Either kaffr corn or some of the sor-
ghums would make a good third year
crop The fourth summer the land
should lie fallow; that is, plowed deep
In the spring, titled and kept we'll Gull
t1Vated and clear of weeds, especially
IN the early spring. Winter wheat
would be the fifth year crop. This
might be preceded by a green manure
crop, such as rye, oats or barley, in
the early rail-. PlOW the summer fall
low for this catch crop.
For the western part of the state
where the rainfall is 5 inches or less
a three-year rotation for summer fall
low is necessary. A good series to run
Is kafir or broom corn. followed by
summer fallow. with winter wheat the
third year. Whenever possible win
ter rye or vetch, to be plowed under
as green manure, should precede the
kafir or broom corn. OF course, the
thoughtful farmer will divide his land
SO that only part of it will be lying
fallow any one season.
Dry land farming is showing excel
lent results in the eastern part of the
arid belt, where land has more than
doubled in value in the last eight
years. Good results are also obtained
in the central part. Dry farming is
made difficult in the extreme western
part by the high wind velocity evap-
Grating the moisture rapidly from the
soil and also blowing the soil badly.
But in spite of this, 100 bushels to the
acre of saleable potatoes is the record
just across the line in Colorado, where
the conditions are almost identical
The standard crops for this coun-
try seem to be winter wheat, the sor-
ghums, milo, kafir, broom corn and
cane and a few hardy, quick maturing
varieties of corn. Alfalfa for seed is
generally profitable, and on first bot
tom lands can be raised for forage In
this case alfalfa should be planted in
rows and cultivated just like corn.
No dry land farmer should neglect
to have live stock. There is money in
hogs, dairy cows and poultry. And he
should use only brood mares for his
farm work. Successful farming is
hardly possible in this region without
live stock.
