WATER SUPPLY ON DRY FARM
Plant for Average Home Need Not Be
Elaborate or Extensive TO
BE Convenient


tBy PROF. F. S, KEENE. Dean of Ensi-
neering. North Dakota Agricultural
CollegeD
water supply system contributes to
the comfort and well being Of the
family to a greater measure than any
other form of household conven-
ience. Such system not only ightens
the burden OF household dru~sery, but
adds UNNECESSARILY to the content
ment OF those who enjoy its service.
When there is added to the conven-
sence OF such plant that Of system

The suburban or country residence be-
comes as complete as can be obtained
where city water supply and sewer
service is available. That plants OF
this kind are In general use IL mat
ter of common knowledge. and that
they are successful In service Is at
tested by the number OF companies en-
gagged in their manufacture.
A water supply plant for the aver
age home need not be elaborate or
expensive in order to be convenient.
The water may be taken from any
suitable source Of supply. and the
plant may be made to suit the avail
able conditions. no matter what they
may be.
The system Is simple In construc-
ton. not at all difficult to operate, and
contains all OF the essentials neces-
sary to the demands of the average
home.
The source Of supply is rain water
cistern sunk below the level Of the
basement floor. the top Of which ex-
tends above the level Of the floor. The
water Is pumped from the cistern by
a common tank pump and forced into
the pressure tank. where It furnishes
a supply of water as desired. The tank
ls an upright cylinder made perfectly
tight and constructed to Withstand the
necessary pressure required to per-
form Its service. 1t may be galvanized
as a precaution- against rust. but this
Is not absolutely necessary.
The pipe which conveys the water
, from the pump enters the tank near
| the bottom, and as the water enters
| the contained air Is compressed into
. the decreasing space above It's sur
lace. The pressure developed by the
compressed air furnishes the force BY
which the water Is driven out Of the
, tank and through the distributing
, pipes as the supply Is demanded. Il

Overhead Irritation.

Many gardeners using cold frames
for the forcing Of early summer crops
have found the overhead system Of In
rigation very practical. Instead Of
placing the pipes several feet above
the frames they are usually placed
very close to the frames and in some
instances on the inside of the side
boards. This method OF irrigation
greatly reduces the cost Of watering
and secures more equal distribution OF
the water than usually occurs by hand
watering. When using this system II
Is always better to water thoroughly
and then refrain from applying more
water until 1t is actually needed.

the surface of the card which is ex.

little. the downward pressure holds
1t to such an extent that the air flows
out sidewise In every direction along
its surface. When 1t gets to the

edge Of the card, it draws some Of
the air from the upper side with It.
This causes current of air from
above to descend upon the card and

who Deserves The Credit For

and of Worship?

ancient times the members of one relig-
lous sect, rarely or never prosecuted
another.
Each man was free to follow his own con-
science in the selection of his faith.
This was SO in Persia, India, Egypt, and
Assyria.
The religion of ancient Greece was SO joys
Gus, SO full of poetry, SO full of the love Of
nature and the sensuous pleasures of mere
living, that we cannot even think of it as a
religion Of intolerance.
1t was not until the Roman Catholic HER
archy rose to power under the favor of the
Roman emperors that bloody prosecutions
for conscience sake were known to the
world.
At very early age after the establish
ment Of Christianity, the Christians divided
on questions Of doctrine.
None of those sects which differed from
the Roman Catholic ever prosecuted the
Romanists, or one another, but every one of
the sects were prosecuted to determination by
the Roman Hierarchy.

THE JEFFERsoN1AN

Arian heresy, millions Of human lives we're
destroyed by the popes
In attempting to stamp out the Huguenots
and the Protestants of Italy, Spain, Holland
and Belgium, hundreds of thousands of
alleged heretics were hunted to their death,
because they claimed the right to take their
religion from the Bible, instead of from the
pope.
The greatest fight that was ever made for
religious liberty, was led by the great Dutch
man, William the Silent.
He was the first to proclaim in his domin-
ions, absolute and impartial liberty of speech
and Of conscience.
This was in the sixteenth century.
His most Catholic majesty, King Philip
IL. Of Spain, hired an assasson to murder
this dangerous Dutchman who had resisted
the pope and had established religious
freedom
The crime was duly committed and the
criminal duly paid by his most Catholic
majesty.
A Roman Catholic fanatic, Baltazar was
the assassin.
Frederick the Great proclaimed freedom
of conscience and of worship in his domains
Peter the Great did the same thing in
Russia.
Roger Williams did the same thing in
AShodS AoldHu, Ac AaVlIiS D60n uFIVon OUT OF
Massachusetts by the intoerant Purtans
1t has been often claimed that the Roman
Catholics established freedom of religion in
Maryland.
It is the general belief that majority of
the immigrants brought over by Lord Balti-
more were Roman Catholics
Neither of these claims rest on facts
AS [ have shown from the original docu-
ments, quoted IN Watson's Magazine for July
and August, the Romanists were in minor
ity of about one to five, and they were only
too glad to be let alone In the exercise Of
their religion
It is of record that when the Act of Toll
Grafton passed the Maryland Council and
became law, the Protestants voted for it
and the Roman Catholics against it.
It is one of the mysteries of history
making, how the Romanists ever got credit
for establishing religious freedom in this
country or anywhere else.
Their priests are all sworn to persecute
and to exterminate those who will not bow
to the papacy and the priests keep this oath
whenever and wherever it is In their power
to do it,
At the present day they will not allow
Protestant missionary in Peru they perse-
cute them in Cuba and Mexico; they perse-
cute them in Central and South America
In Spain they will not allow the Protest
ants to build house of worship which, by
it's style or architecture can be recognized as

Martial law is made public, three innocent
citizens are murdered.
For what?
For passing a Dead line that had not been

When did it become lawful to demand

The Acts of 1884 require that the demand

What right did Mayor Barrett have to call
for troops when the Sheriff told him the mob
had dispersed, and that he could control the
situation?
Why did Mr. Barrett heed Boy1in Wright
instead Of needing Captain Clark, and the

By the Acts of 1895, it is expressly stated
that a citizen who passes over a prohibited
street or road, "dfter being duly informed Of
such prohi6ition," MAY BE ARRESTED
for misdemeanor, provided he acted "wil-
fully and Intentionally, without lawful
excuse"
Has that law been repealed?
Has it been made felony, punishable by
instant death, to pass over a line, of which
the citizen has not been ''duly informed" and
which he does not pass "wilfully and inten-
tionally"?
