Supervise, n of Development Work for
Monk Residents.

4 case that recently came To our notice
well illustrates the necessity for a COM
petent supervision OF the work done for
nonresident owners Such an owner
contracted last fall with a rancher to
clear, fence, pillow, level, make bitches
and plant 10 acres. The work seems TO
have been well done, up TO the point Of
getting the seed into the ground, for all
which the owner paid a generous price.
From that time on the rancher was to
care for the place on shares for two
years, but he utterly failed to irrigate,
and az the seed was put in after the
spring rains were over, little or none OF
il came up and the owner was out his
seed, besides the work of putting it in.
The Canal Users Association provides
efficient supervision for non-residents.
and in such a case as this would have
had the place irrigated by some one else
II the tenant could not do it, and 50 save
a years crop.

OHIO Progresses
Strong For LaFoMene

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Jan. "A dozen
progressives OF national importance.
today spread out over Ohio to con-
tinue the fight for progressive prin-
ciples started by Senator LaFollette
on his tour last week. Clifford Pinchot
and Senators Clapp and Works headed
the speakers who will remain In the
state most OF this week.
The conference of progressives yes
terday did not indorse LaFollette for
president because OF the wish express
ed by the senator and his advisors
that this action be deferred. A strong
personal Endorsement Of the progress
sive leader was adopted, however. by
vote OF more than 10 l, as follows:
We consider Robert NJ. LaFollette
10 be the living embodiment or the
principles of the progressive move
ment and indorse him as the logical
leader to carry them to a successful
fruition, and we invite all progress
sives to join us in this fight"
The conference did not bind the
Ohio progressives TO I.aFollette's can
didacy, but the sentiment was prac-
tically unanimous in favor OF the Wis
consin senator.
