Personal to ARGUS Sub.
 Scribers

Not for several years has the ARGUS sent out subscription statements. We are hoping to be able to mail to every sub- scriber within the next ten days a statement and it is to be hoped that you will either send or come to the ARGUS office and fix it up as soon as possible. Quite a number of our readers are al- ways careful to come in and pay each Fall but there are others who are perfectly good pay. who mail for our statements. These will understand why their bill may run little high. It's simply be- cause we haven't had subscrip- tion collection for several years.
 Won't you please be prompt when statements are sent.

Selfshness In Pr ayer

Pray one for another" (James 5:16). Some good people never go outside the circle of self in their prayers. Yet the last place in the world when we should be selfish is when we are on our knees. A minister made a strange request of a parishion- er--that for a month he should not offer a single word of prayer for himself. or for any of his family, nor bring any of his own affairs to God. What then shall l pray for?" asked the friend.
 Anything that is in your heart, only not once for yourself" When the good man came to his first season of prayer it seemed that he could find nothing to pray for. He would begin a familiar petition, but had to drop it, for it was something for himself. It was a serious month for him, but he learned his lesson. He found that he had been pray ing only for himself and his own 
 household, and had not been talk ing the interests of any others to God. The Lords Prayer teaches us to pray for others with our selves. It is not, Give me this day my daily bread" but Give us our bread today" leaving out no other hungry one J. R. Mil Ter, Evening Thoughts.

There are cases of this sort that the
Secretary of the Interior would like to

representatives of the settlers at the cor
ference today stand for about 10000 farm
families, so the meeting is widespread in
the interests 1t touches.
The government gives the land to the
settlers under special homestead laws.
where the newly irrigated land is gov
eminent property. The water right is
the thing the settler has to pay for. and
the cost of this is prorated among the
farmers on the cost Of the irrigation
project The settler is given ten years
to pay for his purchase. and this looks
like a liberal arrangement. But it is
sometimes a hardship where the settler
has spent good deal of money In i'm
proving his land and wants to spend
more. with the knowledge that the land
will pay for having the money put into it
instead of being paid to the government.
