o..ro Coming Into '.. Own.

One day this week while passing .
lady on the street we overheard her
remark to n friend that the Gar
den OF Eden is sure going to come
into It's own this year We were
not acquainted with the lady. but We
felt like giving ourself an introduc-
ton and shaking her lily white hand
for few minutes. We have over
heard plenty OF knocks on the Gar.
den OF Eden. the Otero. It's reser-
voir and everything that appertains
thereto. but this is the first time
that We ever overheard a real boost.
The great family journal has been
prophesying the conditions that are
about to prevail in the Garden OF
Eden for To- these many years, and
after such year as last year. and
the year before in that section. we
have sometimes felt inclined to lose
faith In ourself as prophet. The
long expected and much hoped for 10
going to happen in the Garden OF
Eden this year, and after II happens
once there1l be no trouble In max
ing it happen every yeas thereafter
This year the Garden OF Eden has
had all kinds OF wafer. and that was
all II needed to make 1t bloom and
blossom-like the roses In our back
yard. The Otero is just now ex-
periencing the sensation OF twelve
days run OF reservoir water. When
the reservoir water was first turned
loose a few days ago. and came tear
ing down the river from the noun.
tain Businesses 200 miles away. the
Otero became entitled to a run OF
water from rise In the river. be-
fore the reservoir water reached the
headgate at Fowler. The Otero. con-
seQuently. experienced the unusual
sensation OF having a river run and
reservoir run at the same time.
Later the reservoir was shut Oft.
while the river run was on and still
later the reservoir was turned loose
sAeaSR \ v exescte6 1hGnnn q
u wasrr IN he reservoir VIM BE-
exhAuned BY tomorrow Sunday
night. although there will probably
BE- reservoir water In the ditch until
next Thursday.
From an agricultural standpoint ev'
erythinx In the Garden Of Eden. and
all along the line Of the Otero for
that matter. looks very promising,
very unlike anything that has pre-.
vailed In that section hitherto. and
As the lady booster remarked on the
street the other day. the Garden Of
Eden is sure going TO come into It's
own this year"

| the bottom of the tank branches to
supply each OF the fixtures, TO which
the water is conducted. In the draw
ing The cold water pipes may be
| t.aced from the supply pipe, where
| 1t emerges from the tank, to the kitch-
en- sink, to the washtrays in the base
ment, to each of the fixtures in the
bath room and to the range boiler.
The range boiler is connected with
tie meter in the kitchen range, which
furnishes the supply of hot water to
be stored in the range boiler. The hot
water pipes may be traced from the
range boiler to each OF the fixtures
named above, where they terminate in
each case in hot water tap
The size of the pressure-tank is
made to suit the requirements of the
house, and. IL so desired, may be fur
nished water for purposes outside
the house The method of pumping
may be by hand, as that shown in the
figure, by gasoline engine, or by any
other form of power. For the aver
age size of dwelling, however, the
hand pump is well adapted to the re-
quirements. The limit to which such
a plant may be extended will be de-
termined b ythe size of the tank and
the means employed for pumping 1t
may also be made to serve the pur-
pose of lawn sprinkling and fire
protection or as means of water
ing stock
In operation the air pressure In the
tank furnishes the force which sends
the water through the pipes to the va
rious water taps. If for any reason the
air is allowed to escape, the propelliGG
force is destroyed This may occur by
reason of the absorption of the air by
the water, due to the pressure to which
it is subjected or to small air leaks that
may develop in the seam of the .ank
and allow the air to escape. To over
come these difficulties, arrangement is
made in the pump SO that air or water
may be forced into the tank at any
time as occasion requires. In the
more elaborate plants the process OF
pumping water and the regula ion OF
the air pressure are made entirely au
! tomato.
Such plant as that shown In the
drawing is relatively inexpensive, sim
pie to operate and gives the house a
supply of water that furnishes every
, necessary cony enience. Notifications

any condition or size, location oil

he would rub and scratch and water

water would run another would come

He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but it did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say it hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So ! begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them,
The next morning | made strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds
The little blisters burst by pressing

Matter of Justice.

Where shall justice begin, with
those who have power or with those
who suffer wrong? If exact and ideal
justice were done, the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong
all that is their due, and the strong
would try to put their affairs in order
so that no just cause of complaint
should exist anywhere. The unhapp,
element in the relations Of the strong
and the weak is that both are think
ing too much about exacting justice
and not enough about doing thai
which is just and right. Pay wha'
thou owest" is the cry most Otter
heard. Give me that which is m.
due, then | will pay you what | owe,
