Kansas Farmers
Sue United States

Hutchinson, Kan, March 20.-Suit has
been filed here on behalf of no farmers
against the United States for $4,000 The
action is the result of the failure of a
government irrigation plant at Deerfield.
The plant was guaranteed to furnish two
acre-feet of water per year. The first
year it furnished one foot of water, the
next year half the amount and the third
year the plant shut down. The farmers
had agreed to pay the cost of the station
and the amount sued for corresponds to
the sum still due to the government. The
plant is now said to be useless.

Addresses by Augusta Pastors at
The Penney Memorial Church to
Commemorate BOWS Birthday

wealth within the past 1 years has
been at the rate of $120,00o,000 per
year The assessed valuation of prop
erty for taxation is sufficient to give
every man, woman and child in the
state $500, while the average wealth
in the nation is only about $1,000. Is
it not reasonable to believe and fair
to say that SO years of prohibition has
had something to do with this grand
result?
Mr.. Chairman: 1t is a matter of
congratulation that today $1,000 out of
our people are living under prohibition.
About So per cent of the people,
about 70 per cent of all the area of
continental United States. Already the
national government has entered this
contest by enacting the Webb law,
which law is about the only working
capital in this contest in Maine today.
1t is the first step. The last step will
be the adoption of national prohibit
ton.
The conservation of our water sup
ply is a great problem. The conserva-
ton cf our forests is a second great
problem. The conservation of our
public utilities is a third great prob
ton of human life is greater and more
vital than all those 100000 victims
which are claimed by alcohol every
year; 1000 every day we live.
Mr.. Chairman: We may not win this
fight today or tomorrow 1t is not me-
cessary that we should win today or
tomorrow; it is absolutely necessary
that we should be right
g., 1T OF Grfo
together, stand with every individual,
every organization, stand with the
party and force that stands for the
right. When our party or society or
church turns from the fight, let us
stay even if we stay alone.
The grand old prohibition song
song 1.-The Battle Hymn of the Re-
public" was then rendered in an ex-
cellent manner by Miss Hazel Ly-
ford, the audience joining in the CHOIR
us Miss Carrie Bradford accompa-
MED.
Rev. C. D. Boothby, the next speak
er, dwelt briefly upon the virtues of
the man whose birthday was being
celebrated all over the nation. But he
warned his audience not to look back
ward too long for it is necessary to
contemplate what can now be done
to further the cause which Gen. Dow
so valiantly fought for. THE prohibit
ton problem said Mr.. Boethby, lis
problem for the nation to settle; To-
cal and state decisions are altogether
inadequate The vision is coming to
US and we can see beyond the State.
And it is a practical vision. National
prohibition is practical vision. Cour-
age and perseverance are needed and
sometime our purpose is bound to be
realized. The saloon will be eradieat-
ed from our nation"
Then by vote the movement for ma
| tionaI prohibition was unanimously
endorsed. Every member of the audi
ence was thoroughly in sympathy
with the movement. A contribution
was taken for the benefit of national
