WORlD-HERALD DAILY WAR
STORY PROVING BIG M

a DIT OF newspaper enterprise that
is making an impression in Nebraska
and South Dakota is the printing of
the history of the Civil War in the
World-Herald of Omaha This his.
tory is printed in a very interesting
way in a column headed FIFTY Years
Ago Today. Each day an article is
printed giving brief and accurate &C
count of the events exactly fifty years
ago on that day. The Worid-Herald,
Chicago News, Boston Globe and New
York Times are among the metropol-
itan newspapers who are pushing this
enterprise. The World-Herald has
secured in addition to the daily history
a series of articles descriptive Of the
great battles, and contributions by
the great generals and leaders of the
civil war, which articles are printed
on Sunday, with wartime photog-
raDhs.

self not only to the old veterans, but
to the younger generations and to the
schools, where close familiarity with
this great period of our history is all
too rare
According to the weather man, pre-
cipitation this year is somewhat below
the average, being over an inch short
of the figure as shown in the records
for the years gone by. The shortage
of rainfall at this time does not mean
another dry year, but suggests rather
that when it does rain greater quanti-
ties may be expected and thus the
average will be maintained and
passed. Even some of the pessimists
will admit that the season is much too
young to throw any valuable time
away fretting over the possibility Of
drought. The fellow who got in his
crop ahead of the doWnpour last week
now has the laugh on his less optim-
istic brother agriculturalist who held
off until he could see what the weather
was going to do.

The attention of water users is d.

The purpose of this amendment Is to
furnish opportunity for persons who
construct reservoirs on dry draws to
obtain water right under the state
water law when certain conditions are
complied with.

suitable blank forms for use in making

OBSERVER SAGER
TELLS YOU HOW
TO GAUGE THE RAINFALL At
YOUR OWN HOME BY A SIMPLE
INEXPENSIVE CONTINUANCE

On account of the diversified topo
graphy of the country and the fact
that much of the rainfall occurs as
more or less local showers, the opin
ion is widely prevalent that the rec
ord OF rainfall at this station and
those at the cooperative stations of
the Weather Bureau at Keystone, Her
mosa, Farmingdale, and other places dc
not accurately express the amount of
rain which falls at intermediate
places. In the average for long peri
DDS the true value for any intermedi.
ate station may doubtless be quite
closely appropriated from these rec.
ords but for any one season, or even
for several in succession, there may
be wide departure from these values.
1t has therefore occurred to me to
suggest, for the benefit of your readers
in farming communities, a method by
means of which they may, with prac-
tically no effort or expense, secure an
almost absolutely accurate record Of
the rainfall on their farms for the en-
tire season, or for such shorter periods
as they may desire.
The method is this: place can, or
other similar vessel, an earthen jar,
for instance, in convenient position
to catch the rain and where it will not
be molested in any manner The size
OF the vessel does not much matter
only that it must be uniform through
out. The depth necessary will depend
on the length of time it is to be ex-
posed. A five-inch tomato can will
give good results for month or two;
for the season the vessel would need
to be perhaps sixteen to eighteen
inches deep. Into this vessel pour a
few ounces of olive oil; enough to
cover the bottom quarter of an inch
deep. Make sure the vessel is set
perfectly level and secured so that it
will not be tipped over by the wind
or otherwise disturbed, and the in
stallation is complete. Olive oil does
not evaporate and the rain drops fall
ing in it Immediately sink to the bot
tom and are thus sealed up by the OIL
At the end of the period for which the
measurement is desired measure the
depth with an ordinary rule and allow
for the depth of oil on the surface of
the water.
This method of measurement was
discovered and tested by ]. Cecil Alter
of the Salt Lake City station of the
Weather Bureau and his tests showed
depth of water retained under the
olive oil at the end of the season diff
fered by only three per cent from that
recorded in the station gauge. AS this
is no more than the usual allowance
for instrumental and other errors in
measurement the catch in carefully
exposed and protected gauge of the
kind suggested may be assumed to
represent the true amount Of rainfall
for the locality where it is exposed.
