WILL NEED MORE BREAD.

In the early part of 1904, little more than
wear after the Inauguration of Free-Trade Fresl
dent and Congress had parayzed all industry ahe
all business. the poorer classes OF New 4ork lily
were through lack of employment reduced to are
penury. The gaunt spectre of starvation stalkeo
the streets of the great metropolis Workngmef
were without employment and their wives and emil
dren went ragged and hungry. The New York
World established Free Bread Fund, and on the
18th of March, 1904 printed the picture of big loaf
of bread in commenloration of the doing out OF the
tnonth loaf.
This was noble charity the part of the
World. The free bread of the World fed many thou
sands of hungry men, women and children 1t was
Just and righteous charity. 1t was, in fact resti-
tuition. for the World had, in 1892 supported with
all its power and influence the election of the Free
Trade nominee for the Presidency and did what t
could to elect House and Senate that should assist
Mr. Cleveland in destroying Protection and bring in
a Free Trade Tariff whose effect was to close the
mills, factories and workshops and plunge millions
of people into the depths of poverty. SO there was
in addition to the well-meant charity an element OF
justice in the efforts of the World toward mitgat
ing the distress that it had helped to inflict.
Today the New York World is again support
ing a Free-Trade Presidential ticket and is using
every means under its control to again break down
the Protective Tariff again close the mills. factories
and workshops again bring want and starvation
lack OF employment and wages. Should the World ;
Trade candidate and Free-Trade Congress
be victorious in 1912 in 1892, suppose the
World will establish another Free Bread Fund. But
in one year after the inauguration, March T. 1918
the total distribution will have to be more than
million loaves. New York City has doubled its pop
tba fri
button will need be two million loaves!

ADVANCED IRRIGATION.

In California, where advanced farming is the
issue they know good thing when they see it. y
dispatch from Willows states that contract has
been let to tile 500Oacr field near that place that
is TO be turned sugarbeet culture 1t is to be rr
gated by the sub-irrigation process, using thing
twenty inches under ground. Contracts and surveys
Tor this work have been let.
1t is for Just such work that hte tile and brick
factory is starting this city, says the Carson
Appeal. The latest approved plan OF irrigation IS
bv thing and not wasting water by evaporation on
the surface Irrigation is much factor in Ne
vada as in any OF the reclaimed States and thing is
the most modern and scientific OF evenly
distributing the water
1t is when one reads of such work this-in the
BIG fields of the California section that it can be real
lied what the thing industry in the future means.
The Carson plant within few months will be in a
position to furnish this product, and there is every
reason to believe that the Nevada farmer is eager
to oct the results as his California neighbor.
There are many OF land in Mason Valley
that need thing to drain the land and sub-irrgaton
would work like charm on most OF the land
