RAzoRBAcKs AND BOYS.
IWoodbine Twiner. ]


The razorback hog of Arkansas, Il
you could call him a hog, is q product
Of the old days. He comes up in the
woods. lives on acorns, has fins on his
backbone netting like a brook perch.
and IL about as thick thru. He is hog
in all good faith 80 far as family record
goes but he is a mighty poor excuse
for real hog as we know him. They
have never yet learned down there that
it is just as easy to grow hog as a
razorback Here in the north there is
very much the same disposition shown
in growing boys-with some Of the par
ents at least. Mostly in the towns.
and we don't have to go away from
home to see the evidence. Now II there
is no excuse for razorback in Arkan-
saw there is a hundredfold none for the
razorback boy in the north. In Arkan-
saw he roams the woods. In Wood
bine he roams the streets and back al
leys, unmolested save when Intercepted
by the town marshal. That happens
! occasionally, it happened just the 9TH
er evening for conduct unbeconing.
There are boys in this town 16, II. Is
years old that have never been caught
doing thing to earn an honest dollar.

Irrigation From Volcanoes.

A. r. de Steiguer. a civil engineer.
who has been in Mexico for some time.
in the employ Of the National Rail-
ways Of Mexico, has been selected
b. group OF extensive land owners in
the state of Mich6acan to make a sur
vey for one Of the most remarkable ir-
rigation projects ever set on foot. He
has been instructed to devise FEAST
BILE way for utilizing the great reser-
voirs of water that now fill the craters
OF extinct volcanoes in the vicinity OF
Ajuno for irrigating vast tracts OF ana.
These crater lakes aressituated mig
above the surrounding country. IN
some instances as much as 1000 feet
above the river level. A preliminary IN
yestigation has convinced Mr.. de
Steiguer that the project is feasible.
altho it may require the expenditure OF
d large sum of money to put 1t In oper-
alton. Some of the lakes are fathom-
less and they appear to have their
source Of supply from some inexhaust-
ible subterranean stream. To utilize
the waters in these crater reservoirs
it will be necessary TO run tunnels into
.hc sides of the mountains and instaN
a system of locks whereby the flow OF
water can be released and checked as
the exigencies of irrigation may re-
quire.
Another important possibility OF the
project being investigated by MI. ee
Steiguer is that Of using the now OF
water from the craters and their per-
pendicular drops for'the generation OF
electric power. From cursory exama'
nation it IL estimated that by the IN
stallation of series of hydro-eiectrlc
plants at the mouth OF the tunnels. OF
below them at some point upward OF
100, 600 horsepower may be generated
There are many cities and industrial
centers, as well as mining districts
within radius Of 200 miles of these
extinct volcanoes. and the market 1of

A MODERN CATO.

One Of the largely useful men of Iowa
celebrated the beginning of his s7th
year last Wednesday,. II Is an anniver-
sary to be given note by all Iowa, 70,
Prof. L. F. Parker has been and re-
mains one of the strong forces which
formed and guided developing COM
,.lunity into the mighty commonwealth
of Iowa
If Cato learned Greek at "a, Profess
sor Parker Is writing the history OF
Poweshiek county at 81, task which
calls for as great determination and is a
far more congenal labor than that the
other old Roman imposed upon his
falling years. The parallel holds be-
tween the Two in their common sim
plicity and conception OF plain righte-
business; but the later sage adds to a
Roman vigor OF mind and character the
gathered sweetness and calm kindness
of the twenty centuries between.
Iowa joins in the gladness Of the
birthday of this unselfish, idealistic,
strong. indefatigable and helpful man.
May the evening lengthen calm and
clear and the shadows fall peacefully,
