Practical people are wise people.
Genius may create brilliant ideas, and

money makes the mare go, and what
practical people really wish, is to have
pot, to have that full of potatoes,
and to have fire enough to make the
pot boil.

extremely desirable. Nor is it nee
essary nat tuberculosis Day be OBJ
served on Saturday or Sunday or on
October Goth or 27th, though this
would be the best time. 1t may be
more convenient in some instances 10
observe it on a week day or on sun
day before or after the date set. The
CHIEF aim of the movement is to
get the churches of the country in
terested at as nearly the same time
as possible in the anti-tuberculosis
campaign.
That tuberculosis is a serious prob
lem among church congregations is
evidenced by statistics which the Ma
tional association gathered last year,
which show that 10 per cent of all
deaths among churcn members are
caused by tuberculosis. Based OH
these figures and on the mortality
statistics of the Census Bureau. over
$4,000 of the 100000 communs-
cants in churches in the United
States die from tuberculosis every
year This figure assumes that the
death rate of 1850 per 900 popula-
ton in the Registration Area applies
to all churchgoers, when, as a mat
ter of fact, the rate would probably
be higher ii the entire country were
included.

OCTOBER 9TH is TUBERCULO-
SIS DAY
National Observance to be Planned in
100000 Pulpi's - Consumption
Causes 10000 Church Deaths An
nually.

Churches and religious societies, to
the number of at least 100 900, will
he urged to give special attention to
Sunday, October 9th, or an some
day during the week preceding or
the week following that date. This
season has been set apart and desig-
mated as the Third National Tuber-
culosis Day by the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
Tuberculosis.
tuberculosis day was originally
set on April 2Sth, but was postponed
because of conflict with Conserva-
ton Sunday OF the Men and Religion
Forward Movement, which was held
on that date. The observance of Tu-
berculosis Day in the fall this year
should prove OF value, not only for
the general education of church goers
on consumption, but also for the pur-
pose of interesting them in the sale
OF Red Cross Seals.
Every one OF the 500 and more an
Tuberculosis associations affiliated
with the National Association are be-
ing allied in promoting tuberculosis
Day in their respective communities.
While last year over $4,000 churches
observed this occasion, ii is expected
this year that the number will be
doubled. Millions Of circulars anu
other forms OF literature will be dis
tributed The movement is interde-
nominational and the support of ev-
cry denomination will be asked for.
The attention of clergymen and
others is called to the elastic charac-
ter of tuberculosis Day, and to the
fact that 1t is in no sense an effort
to insert another special DAY" In
the already crowded church calendar.
What is desired is the presentation in
the churches of the anti-tuberculosis
movement and the need for the CO.
operation OF church members and
others. II is not necessary that an
entire special service be set aside for

irrigation Older Than Civilization

Hundreds of thousands of acres
of valuable farming land have Deen
reclaimed in the arid west through
the means of irrigation.
The mountain streams have been
damned and their waters diverted
20 irrigate vast tracts of sun-dried
soil Great electrically driven pumps
have been installed to raise millions
and millions of gallons OF water from
The depths of the earth to be flooded
over the dry lands in order to stimu-
late the growing crops,
But it must not be forgotten that
irrigation in the west is nothing new,
although many OF these recent sys-
TENS are numbered among the gigan-
tic engineering ventures of the world,
SAYS writer in Electrical News.
The first systematic employment OF
irrigation in the arid west by English
speaking people was made by the
Mormons, who, expelled from their
earlier settlements in the Mississippi
valley, sought refuge in the unknown
desert regions, and at last, after ex-
Dertencing great hardships, were
compelled, through necessity to halt
and settle on the shores of the great
salt lake. Here the soil was found
to he SO barren that crops could not
be grown by ordinary means, and,
forced through fear and priyation TO
adopt new and extraordinary de-
vices, they turned the waters OF the
little canyon streams upon the
ground where Salt Lake City now
stands. After many years of scant
success and of disheartening failure
they succeeded in mastering the art
of irrigation, and, under the wis
dom of their leaders they have be-
come a prosperous people.
Long before the Alormons came,
however, small sections of the dryer
portions of the great west were be-
ng cultivated through irrigation. The
ancient canals of the town-dwelling
Pueblo Indian tribes may still be
seen in the broad valleys of the arid
portions OF New Mexico and Arizona.
On the mesas, or highlands, of south
western Colorado and the adjacent
sections of Utah, Arizona and New
Mexico are to be found the remains of
the wonderful cliff dwellings, and in
the little nearby valleys are the ir-
rigaang bitches used by the inhabi-
tants of thousand or more years
ago.
The descendants of these tribes
till portion of the lands which
were supplied with irrigating bitches
and canals at the time when the
Spanish first came into the region.
They follow many of the practices
of their ancestors, having been in
huenced but slightly by contact with
white settlers, who, rather, have
learned from them how to successful
ly cultivate the soil.
The NIexicans of mixed Spanish
and Indian blood gradually pushed
up into this region, and from the ne
cessities of the situation adopted ir-
rigation methods. bitches dug by
them are to be found along the Rio
Grande as far north as Colorado and
the tributaries of the Arkansas riv-
er. The early Spanish missions of
the Pacific coast also practiced irri-
alton, and in southern California par
ticularly are still to be seen the
ruins of substantial masonry dams
and headworks which were construct
ed by Indian labor.

CLAIM INDIANA FOR TAFT.
Hoosier District Chairmen, How.
ever. Will Make No Endorsement.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, February p
The newly elected republican district
chairmen of Indiana met here today to
elect a state chairman to succeed Edwin
NJ. Lee. who created a stir by giving out
statement at the republican national
committees meeting in Washington that
President Taft could not carry Indiana If
renominated.
There are no avowed candidates for the
Craftsmanship, but it is probable Fred
A. Sims, former secretary of state, will be
the choice
Before the committee went into execu-
tive session this afternoon members stated
that following a custom it was probable
no candidate for the presidency would be
Endorsed by resolution. but the committee
felt the public would understand Mr..
Taft's denomination for the reason that
twelve out of thirteen district conventions
had approved his administration.
James p. Goodrich, it was said, probably
will succeed Harry S. New as national
committeeman. Mr. New having an
nounced he is not a candidate tor re-
election.
