Management. United States Depart

There are land boomers selling land
In irrigated regions who do not al
ways mention the fact that under
many irrigation bitches more land is
In cultivation than the ditch has wa
ter to irrigate. This condition has
become a crying shame under some
bitches. The man who buys these
much advertised lands should make
sure that he has abundance of water,
and the way to ascertain this is to
talk with the farmers who have been
farming under the ditch for some
time.
Where irrigation water is abundant.
and where proper precautions have
been taken against alkali, irrigation
farming is highly successful. One can
make living on a smaller area of ir-
rigated land than he can where the
farmer must depend upon rainfall.

The walking stick of General Booth

TALLEST WOMAN EIGHT
FEET, THREE inches
3O-YardS of Cloth for "HObblG'

Ella Ewing, whose death at the age
of 80 has been announced, lived longer
than most persons of abnormal size,
though Patrick Cotter, Irish giant,
who used to light his pipe at the street
lights in England, was 46 when he
died, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The true giant class has included
many hundreds of men, but few wom-
en-. Data as to any woman who eX-
ceeded Miss Ewings hight, about SO
inches, are as reliable as those on
which NJ Henrion pretended to figure
that Eve must have been 118 feet j
inches tall. Anna Swan, who went
through the Barnum Museum fire n
New York in 1864; Elizabeth Stock q
South Carolina, Elizabeth Fairman of
Kent, England; Anna Hardy of Lin
colnshire, Angelina Mellus, American
giantess, who appeared in London in
1921, accompanied by Manila dwarf:
Miss Cooke, English woman, and Miss
West "of North America" were none
of them more than Sc inches.
Charles Byrne, whose skeleton is
preserved in an English medical mus
cum, was 100 inches tall; McGrath,
orphan giant" brought up by Bishop
Berkeley, was go; Josef WHITEWATER,
Austrian, about whom much was heard
2 years ago, and Cotter, were 102,
end Chang, Chinese giant, was 90
King Og, Noachian giant, was so tall
he Is said to have escaped the flood by
wading along in the wake of the Ark
No adoption of nature to environment
however, accounts for the tallest Mis-
sourian that ever lived. Her part of
the state was remote from the dis
tricts affected by river foods Many
OF those in the shortlived giant class
continue to grow, as Miss Ewing is
said to have done, until the day of
their death

in his charming sketch of Widow
Blacket, an oxford giantess two feet
shorter than Miss Ewing, with whom
he spent many an agreeable holiday
"her humors and occupations were
eminently feminine" She realized
early that romance was not likely to
come into the life of girl who re-
quired 80 yards of cloth to make her

MOTHER SHOULD Be

If so Girl Rarely Comes to
Grief

Mothers do not train their daugh-
tiers right is the reason that so many
girls come to grief. They do not invite
the confidence of their girls. This in
time makes breach between the two,
One hears so much nowadays about
the training of boys-train the girls
right first and they will attend to maxi
ing of their sons useful citizens"
This was the sentiment of Miss Sa-
die American, executive secretary of
the National Council of Jewish Wn-
men, who was the principal speaker
Monday afternoon at the first annual
reunion of the council, which was held
in the grill room of the DeSoto ho-
tel.
Miss American was only one of a
number of speakers who as heads OF
various organizations of the city, ex-
planned what their clubs are attempt
| ing to do in the way of charitable, eli q.
vic or other work. Mrs. Christian
Scherz told the assembly something
of the Sunshine society and compli-
mented the Jewish people that they
take care of their own people
Mrs. Roydan Douglas told of child
labor in the District Of Columbia and
asked aid in getting before President
Wilson therequest that the secretary
of agriculture be appointed from the

club has tried to do and be, and VIII,
it has accomplished.
Every man in New Orlears who en-
! joys a nice, clean bath today, we feel
owes it to the Era club, she declared,
referring to the clubs work in getting
proper sewerage and drainage for the
city. There was much applause AMI
laughter.
Mrs. ]. N. Nathans told about the
Girls club and the large numbers of
young girls who receive its attention
each year.
Mrs. Henry B. Myers explained the
organization of the City Federation Of
Women's clubs, and Mrs. W. w Van
Meter talked of the Woman's club
She declared the aims of the organiza-
ton to be an industrial home and the
Ierection of a club house.
Mrs. Edgar Calm gave toast to re,
ligion. Mrs. NJ. Feingold was toast
mistress. Mrs. Edgar Marx sang.
Miss American, in the course OF her
talk. which included an urgent appeal
to the Jewish women to assist their
immigrant sisters who come unpro-
tect-ed to this country by the thous-
ands every year. paid high tribute to
Mrs. Joseph E. Friend, local president
of the Jewish council. She declared
her to be one of the most devoted
workers in the national body, and
spoke of her kindness and broad
mindedness.
The luncheon opened and closed
