TOO MUCH IRRIGATION WATER
THINKS wHEELON.

J. c. wheelon. chief engineer Of
the Utah-Idaho Sugar company and
holding the same position with the
Price River Irrigation company, re-
Gently delivered an address before
n big irrigation convention at Gar
this state. In which he seems to
show conclusively that some farm
ers are using more irrigation water
than they need. and that the effect
OF the policy Ia to take from the
value Of their land. without giving
them any additional benefits In the
crops they are raising. Here Is an
extract from his address:
twenty-five years ago the Bear

that quantity OF irrigation water
less than IL commonly used will pro-
duce better results than are found
with tho present system. And all
scientific. practical study OF the
subject confirms their view. Utah
and Southern Idaho have a limited
amount OF water. There IA an un-
limited area OF land that needs ir-
rigation. There are great poaalbill-
ties IN dry farming. but every dry
farm needs some water Such things

Oh For Country Roads.

A most interesting experiment ia be
ing conducted In central Illinois near
Springfield. The state highway com
mission Is making a test OF OIL on
country roads. While oil roads are no
novelty In many parts OF the United
States. they are not known on the
heavy black soil Of central Illinois.
The top soil Of the road is being mix
ed with an asphalt oil 20 the depth OF
six inches. In many parts OF the Suck
er State stone roads are out OF the
question. Without the material near at
hand the great prairie states cannot
expect 10 save stone pixies. as do some
OF TIE eastern states. Good roads must
be secured by drainage, special care
and possibly by the use Of oil. This
experiment will be watched with a
great deal OF interest

Mexican, Russian and English Used
at Trial in City Court.

Three languages were working over
time in the court of Topeka today
when tohn Doe Jesus, a Mexican was

charge of attempted assault on the
person of Molly Der, a Russian girl,
twelve or thirteen years old apparent
ly. Her. father swore on the witness

According to the evidence of the
complaining witness. the Mexican who
lives next door to the Der family, in
vaded the Der house at 1 o'clock in
the morning Tuesday and choked the
little girl until frightened away. A
nine-year-old brother who was in the
room was a witness and spoke better
English than any of the other members
of the family. All the members of the
family identired the Mexican as the
invader of the home. He was sem
fenced to serve ninety days in Jail.

RECEPTION IN JAIL.
Woman Is Visited by Host of Sympa-
thetic Friends.

ST. Louis, Aug. 10 The Interior of
the Jail at Maplewood, near here,
formed the setting for one of the
strangest informal receptions ever par
ticipated in by society women of that
suburb. The "hostess" was Mrs.
Cordia NJ. Capehart, club woman and
church worker. who went to Jail rath-
er than pay fine of 81 and costs, and
the guests were her friends who
called to synpathize and commend her
for her bravery. Scores of them came.
1t was only because of the illness of
her daughter, Mrs. Capehart said, that
she allowed her husband to pay the
fine effecting her release. AS she
walked from the Jail she vowed ven
geance on a realty dealer who had
caused her Imprisonment.
In May, 1911, Mrs. Capehart was
party to real estate transaction. She
said she got the worst of the bargain
and SO refused to speak to the land
agent when she met him thereafter.
Once, Mrs. Capehart said, the agent
tried to compel her to speak when
they met at a drug store. She refused
and he made an insulting remark. She
answered with a blow over his head
with her umbrella-but not a word.
The two years litigation that followed
ended with the payment of the 81 fine.

You can't have nonpartisanship on

FOSTORIA BANK OPENS
Bank Commissioner Sawyer Believes
1t Is in Good Condition.

The State Bank of Fostoria, which
was closed several weeks ago by di-
rection of Charles N Sawyer, state
bank commissioner, was re-opened for
business today and is again in good
financial condition. The old board of
directors is in charge of the business
and new capital has been secured which
insures the solvency of the institution,
Sawyer believes.
Because of the condition of the Pot
tawatomie county bank, Commissioner
Sawyer placed an examiner in charge
of the business of the institution and
began cleaning up some Of the banks
accounts. UnderTf this ARRANGEMENT,
creditors of the bank did not lose a
dollar and aftetr being closed for three
weeks, the bank commissioner today
ordered the opening of the banks doors.
