It happened after that, that when

Mary asked a girl friend to go and

which Buster gave her.

that Chesterton came up.

But Chesterton was wiser than the

IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Plans for Launching Western Kansas
Project Discussed.

Plans for launching the new western
Kansas irrigation project, for which
the state has appropriated $4,000, are
being discussed today by members of
the new irrigation commission. The
meeting Is being held In the governors
office and it is probable that the session
will continue until Friday evening
At the meeting today F. A. Hines, of
Scott City, was elected as chairman of
the commission, while Bert p. Walker,
of Osborne, is secretary. ]. B. Ham
mond, of Syracuse. is the third MEM
bers of the commission. The members
propose to begin work on the new irri-
cation project at once, although the
counties in which this work will be
started have not yet been determined.
The recent session of the legislature
appropriated a $125,000 revolving fund
for the irrigation work in western Kan
sas. Thirty-one counties are eligible to
the benefits of this new work by the
state Under the terms of the new.
law, the counties must provide land for
sinking wells and bear one-half of the
expense of development.
1t is probable that Governor Hodges,
who is expected to return to Topeka
this afternoon will attend some of the
sessions of the new commission. He is
much interested in the new plan and
expects to make a personal inspection
trip through the counties affected by
the new irrigation law.

15.655,737 passengers and had a gross
