ASK FARMERS TO USE
WATER VERX
SPARINGIY

Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 21-Resolutions
urging the farmers of the Salt river
valley TO be as sparing as possible
with irrigation water have been passed
by the governors of the Water Users
association.
A year ago there were 522. 900 acre
feet of water in the Roosevelt reser-
voir, and now there are only 2S5. 600
feet in the big lake. The quantity is
diminishing steadily and summer rains
have not set in on the watershed
The governors also decided to re-
quest the forest service to exclude
sheep from the Verde river watershed
A large share of the valleys water
comes from the Verde and it is con-
tended that the grazing of sheep there
on is diminishing the supply as the
grasses and brush which conserve the
moisture are eaten away.

There comes to the Bijou for the

heralded dramatization of Robert w.
Chambers sensational novel. THE
Common Law which has the distinc-
tion Of having been read by greater
number of people than any other
work Of fiction ever penned by a ma
tive writer. and which surpasses all
other similar works for daring to
trespass upon the universally accept
ed marriage conventions.
1.-THE Common Law appears TO APP
peal just as strongly To those who
have not read the book as to those to
whom the story is familiar, The very
fact that woman is struggling
against the conventions and suffering

affair between two people of different
caste seems to strike a sympathetic
chord in the heart of every woman

thing that no other male novelist has
ever done before him, he has ana
lyzed woman's lntrospection from
the woman herself. and not from a
mans viewpoint.

she was wearing probably saved her life.

Seated one day near the organ,
With her head devoutly bowed,
An organ pipe fell on her
With a noise both sharp and loud.

And they feared she had taken harm,
But the pipe had struck on he. bonnet,
Which protected her like charm.
1t prevented all pain and headache,
For ii was both big and soft,
And the pipe had no power to harm her

Why our sex wear turbans large.

THE RESURRECTION AND
THE LIFE.

The cornerstone of the Chris
tian church is laid in the empty
grave of Jesus Christ. The res
direction proves the death; the
death proves the life, the life the
birth Of Jesus Christ. Deny the
resurrection and it is impossible
to account for the existence of
Christianity. The resurrection
proves our own resurrection.
Empty as was the tomb of Jesus
on the first Easter morn, so
empty shall be all the graves of
his people on the last great East
er morn. He is therefore in the
largest and fullest sense the res
direction and the life.-Rev. DIR.

Useless Giving.

There is marked return this
wear to the real and original
spirit of Christmas. People have
banded themselves together into
societies for the prevention of
useless giving. This does mot
mean that the splendid custom
of exchanging gifts with loved
ones and friends is to be discon.
tinued or discouraged in the
least. 1t simply means that
people are putting more love,
and less money into their
Christmas packages; that they
are cutting out the perfunctory
giving to people from whom they
may possibly receive q present
and to whom give q present
simply to be on the safe side.
There is none of the real spirit
of Christmas in this. Every gift
made at this time should carry
the heart with it. A gift which
is made to impress somebody
with our ability to afford things,
or that is sent out simply to off
set some gift that may be re-
ceived, is simply an abuse of the
most gracious custom and the
most blessed day. People are
turning time back few centur-
les and remembering that Christ
mas is a day in honor of Him who
went about doing good and that
a real Christmas gift should car
ry with it the spirit of Him who
gave Himself with every word
and deed. This is the check that
has long been needed to an abuse
of custom which keeps the
world perennially young and
makes US remember, Just before
it is too late, that it doesn't mat
ter half so much how wealthy we
are as how many friends we have
and how we'll contented we are
with our lot however humble it
may be.

He has certainly given away
millions of acres in bestowing
homesteads to the many who
have applied for sections of
land in the West. President
Wilson withdrew from entry a
few days ago 1870 acres of

it is believed this land was very
valuable on account of indica-
tions of oil. In western Montana
10000 acres of supposed coal
lands were lately opened to those
who applied.
