 IRRIGATED FARMS
Uncle Sam Interested in About Twenty-Five
 Different Projects

JUdson c. Welliver. Washington correspondent of Farm and Preside. contributes an article on the govern ment's irrigated farms, in the current issue of that periodical Following is an extract presenting a few facts:
 Uncle Sam has about s70,O0O 900 invested in some twenty-five irriga- ton projects. They contemplate mak. ing first-class farming area of about 3.OOc GOO acres. scattered throughout all the states from the Dakotas. Kan sas and Nebraska. west to the Pacific. This region that Uncle Sam is putting under water is expected to care for family of five on every forty acres: that is, for a total of 275, ,000 people But this does not consider the num- Der who will be kept busy merchant dising for these farmers: hauling things by rail to them; raising live stock for the Irrigation farmers to finish; mining low-grade ores that couldn't be worked unless civilization were brought closer to them than 1t was before the irrigation projects brought it.
 'On the whole, it is fair to say that these government irrigation projects represent the potentiality of a mil lion Of population. housed and made indepdendent producers.
 Take the Salt River project, in Arizona, one of the very largest of the government undertakings. About 1855 900 acres of it's lands are now under cultivation. and this will be increased to 100000. The government spent abont s10.000000 in the works, and last year the products of these lands were worth about s6,000. 900; this year they will go much higher
 Put the real reason why the Salt River proposition got on it's feet so soon and has been a success almost from the start is that it had the right kind of settlers. They knew just what to do with irrigation lands. they did 1t, and they succeeded.
 The best advice to give. in every case. to people who have thought of trying the new system of farming. is 10 investigate with the utmost care before jumping in. Don't believe all the fairyland stories you read in agri- cultural papers that are made for folks in browRstoBe city rows to read. and, on the other hand, don't get dis couraged if you hear a frightful tale of woe from somebody who has tried it and failed. Don't go out to an irri- gation farm unless you are sure you have enough capital to take care of it right. You can't do better than write to Frederick H, Newell, DiFec- tor, Bureau of Reclamation, at Wash ington and ask his advice. He'll tell you the truth. which IS more than a lot of real-estate vendors could be relied upon to do."

The last time I was travelling in Texas, when my kidneys became af. fected, and for ten days I suffered excruciating pain. accompanied with severe chills. Several years previous, having been relieved of a similar at tack, naturally sought relief, as be fore. from Swamp-Root.
 After using four of the large size bottles, I was completely restored. and went on my way rejoicing and prais- ing pr. Kilmerss SwaInp-Root. This was three years ago, and I have had no indication of the return Of the af- fiction.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Reports of their campaign expenditures have been filed with the secretary of the senate by c. N. Haskell of Oklahoma Charles Curtis, Gov. w. R. Stubbs and stephen A. Allen of Kansas, all candidates for United States senator in primaries in Oklahoma and Kansas.
 Haskell. candidate for the demo cratic nomination in Oklahoma. filed a supplemental report showing he re ceiyed in contributions $2O0 from R. w. Dick and $10 from John Howell, stephen A. Allen, democratic candL date for senator in Kansas, who was defeated. certified that he paid ali his campaign expenses, which amounted to only $57, exclusive of personal travelling expenses.
 Senator Curtis disbursements were S445l.05. The greater part of this had been reported before and was ex. pended for organization work. Since July 27 Curtis spent S3S0. He received no contributions to his campaign fund.
 Gov. Stubbs, the Bull Moose candi- date for senator, reported having spent $66.69. but in his statement made it clear he loaned the pro gressiye state committee S200 July 30 for temporary use in the purchase of postage. and until popular collec- tions could be made and without in. terest. Apparently the popular col lections were not forthcoming, as in his final statement the governor again states that he loaned. on Aug ust 3. the same organization, under the same conditions and for precisely the same purpose.

 Stubbs brings it out very clearly that these two amounts were merely loaned, and he probably will proceed to collect from the progressive state committee the S950 he loaned" one Of the largest individual items in the Stubbs itemized account of expendi lures is $50 for advertising in the railway blue book.

 Expected to be Challenged
 The girl looked hard at me as she said this. as if expecting her theory to be Echallenged. There was a bit of wistfulness in her eyes, I thought, as if she were holding to her theory in spite of opposition. She looked eighteen.
 How old are you?" I asked.

The first depct built at Topeka for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad was moved to Benson. This depot stayed at Benson until the present Southern Pacific depot was built and then it was bought and moved to a point near Fuller's ranch by a MT Forsyth. It now stands near the railroad of the New Mexico and Arizona branch.
 The old depot is being used for purposes other than Tailroading. It is one of the historic old relics of the early days in Kansas and Arizona.

Angeles. We will equip the farm completely. Homes of the students will be a series of pretty bungalows located nearby After we get properly established We will then move on to other cities.
 Girls who desire to learn every domestic science and fit themselves at the same time to become farmers will be invited to attend. There will be no fees levied of any sort. Through the work Of the girls We expect to make enough profit to maintain the college which will be the first wo- mans agricultural institution in the country.
 The students will wear sensible costumes while at work. These cos tunes will probably be modified over. all and blouses. heavy shoes and large hats. Each girl will be taught to do every bit Of farm work from blowing and planting to milking and stacking hay.
 '"The college Is intended to give girls who now are forced to waste their lives as underpaid clerks in de. partment stores the opportunity of becoming fitted to take up govern ment land and do the actual farming of it. We also aim to make every girl better fitted fore wifehood and moth erhood irrespective of whether they marry farmers, merchants or bankers.

ALIENIST REPORTS ON
RICHESON'S CONDITION

BOSTON, Mass, May 10-Dr. Nor
ton Prince, famous psychologist, held
an hours conference with Gov Foss
at the state house today. II is
thought that the Richeson case was
discussed and that Dr. Prince will be
asked TO observe the slayer of Avis
/. nnell during the next day or two.
u was authoritat!vely stated at the
state house that Gov. Foss will care
fully study the report of DR.. l.. Yer
non Briggs, who observed Richeson
at the governors request. There is
little likelihood that this report will
be submitted to the governors coun-
ell or that any inkling OF it's contents
will be made public within the next
"a hours.
at is true that the invariable rule
has been to send the condemned to
the death cell at least 10 days before
his execution" said Sheriff Quinn to-
day. such a proceeding, however,
is optional. | may wait until the last
moment to send Richeson to the cell
where he will await his final sum-
mons to the chair and to death"
In the meantime this delay in send
ing Richeson to Charlestown has gwen
his attorneys much hope for favorable
action by Gov. Foss, and his counsel,
DR.. Vernon Briggs, the famous alien
list, who observed Richeson at the
governors request, today was forced
to admit to persistent questioning
that "Richeson is In perfect condi-
ton" He Immediately qualified this
statement by adding: II mean physl-

WOULD PROTECT GIRLS
FROM MOTORCYCLISTS

Police Captain Hogan has appealed
to Assistant Corporation Counsel Pen
niman to frame an ordinance TO forbid
men with tandem motorcycles to stop
in public PARIS and induce girls TO get
on their machines and ride with them
According to Penniman this has be-
come a serious question, as numerous
instances have come to the attention
OF the police recently where young
girls have been brutally treated.
Fellows with tandem motorcycles
have been hanging out in the vicinity
Of Owen Park and Riverview park, I"
said Penniman. They stop their ma.
chimes alongside the curbs and invite
the girls TO go riding with them. The
police have learned a number OF cases
where girls were taken far from their
homes and then subjected 10 all sorts
OF indignitaries to which they had to
submit. or walk back.
Il have recommended TO the police
that they do not allow men with tan.
dem motorcycles to stop in these
places. All they have to do il TO
signal them to move on They can do
so under police regulations and on the
ground that the motorcycles are OBJ
structing traffic II this doesn't rem

draft an ordinance forbidding women
to ride on motorcycles. understand
other cities have such regulations and
believe such an ordinance would be
legal"
