The Mouirners.

Some people fret because they get
No credit and no praise,
And some because they are beset
By hard luck all their days;
Some people sigh because the sky
May not be always blue,
q many men are saddened by
The friends that prove untrue.
Some people find the daily grind
A thing that tries their souls,
Some feel dismay day after day,
Because Of waters or moles;
Some people grieve because they
leave
/. The pathways that are straight,
Some mourn, their failure to achieve
The glory of the great.
Son1e people weep because, unknown,
their talents go to waste:
And some because thy sit alone,
Unwooed and unembraced;
Some people weep because they reap
No crops from seeds they SOW,
And some are sad because they had
Unlovely rows to hoe.
Some people let themselves forget
That gladness may be gained,
Because they find themselves in debt
And always are restrained;
Worst fools Of all are they who bawl
Their SORROWS to the crowd.
And SWIVEL when their fellow men
Have g to be proud.

THE STATE RECLAMATION BILL
(By State Senator J. F. Brown

(By State Senator J. F. Brown)
immense Importance of securing the
adoption of the state reclamation
bill, which is to be voted on Nov.
). If they did, there would be more
earnest effort to work up interest in
the proposed measure. / will give
one example of why the measure
should be adopted this fall
On the Colorado river in the
neighborhood of Parker there are
nearly 100000 acres of the finest
land in the world waiting only for
water to reclaim it from its desert
condition. Just below Parker is the
Cibola valley project of about 10000
acres. This land under irrigation
means approximately $780, ,O0O, 900
increase in the taxable wealth of
Arizona and approximately an in
crease Of 10000 inhabitants 1t
means several prosperous towns and
cities along the Colorado. 1t means
new railroads and many other things
Now here is where the shoe pin
ches: Down in the Imperial valley
in California and below the Imper-
ial valley in Mexico the waters of
the Colorado river are being rapid
ly appropriated and applied to the
land. This means that the Imperial
valley and the northern part of old
Mexico are getting prior right to
the waters of the Colorado river
The waters of the Colorado river
are not inexhaustible, and what is
going to be the result? The result
is going to be that if the construc
ton Of the Parker project and the
Cibola valley project are delayed for
many years, all the available waters
Of the Colorado will have been ap-
propriated and there will be no wa
ter left for these two projects 1t
means that these sections will re-
main arid and will not be reclaimed
from their desert condition, and this
means a loss to the state of Arizona
of over a hundred million dollars in
taxable wealth, a loss of so, 900 in
habitants, and loss of a rich pros
porous country along the Colorado
river
Are the voters of Arizona going to
allow this to happen, or are they
going to make the proposed state
reclamation bill a law and put these
lands under irrigation before it is
too late??
This is only one example of where

WHERE CREDIT is DUE.

The magnificent progress which the
Indians of the Colorado River lndian
reservation are making, as indicated
by their second annual fair now in
progress, is due to the foresight and
business acumen of the department of
the interior and it's kindred depart
ment, the Indian office.
Five or six years ago the local In
dans were practically starving, when
a few intrepid white men settled at
Parker. These pioneers attracted 9TH
ers, and with that spirit of progress
siveness which anmates the west
ern pioneer, steps we're taken to-
wards securing justice for the In
dans.
BY the efforts of the Parker peo-
Pile the then secretary of the interior
Mr.. Balinger, was induced to come
here, and the cause of the Indian
was laid before him. Result was. a
pumping plant costing over 100000.
But the willy officials back nWash-
ington decided to get that 100000
into the treasury before they spent
a dollar for the benefit of the In
dians. The way they succeeded in
securing enough funds to build the
pumping plant and erect school build
ngs and dormotories, etc, for their
Indian wards was by fiIching the set
tiers who came to Parker and bought
town lots under the implied promise
that the surplus lands of the reserVa-
tion would be sold to bona fide set
tiers. The writer has documentary
proof relating to this matter and
would be pleased to present same to
all inquiring officials.
A most excellent business deal, in
deed. 1t only took a few acres of
worthless desert land for Uncle Sam
to raise over 100000. We always
have believed, with Barnun, that
there is sucker born every minute,
and if the people of this grand an6
glorious country desire to see Who'll
aggregation of suckers we commend
them to pay Parker visit, although
quite a number of them have walked
out of the country since meeting up
with that prince Of real estate graft
ers, our honored Uncle.
Credit for the progress of the IN
dians on this reservation is prmar-
| lily due to the above referred aegrega
ton Of suckers.
The foregoing is dedicated to the
Hon. Franklin X. Lane, to our ver-
satIe and IikeabIe friend, the Hon.
A. A. Jones, assistant secretary Of
the interior, Hon. Cato Sells, and to
the members of the Arizona delega-
tion in congress, by the author, who
contributed hard earned cash and
five years of labor to the cause of
civiIizing the Arizona Indians.
p. S. - We are now wondering
whether the Indian, after getting civ
| Iized, will do as much for the au-
thor's children, who, in the proc ess
of their dad mpoverishing himself
| for the sake of the noble red man,
are badly in need of civilization thenl-
selves.
P.S. No. 2.-For SaIe-SeveraI per-
fectIy level lots in Parker townsite,
which were purchased from the
United States government Title is
guaranteed. Ideal location for Indian
bungalows.
p. S. No. 3.-AIsc perfectly good
printing office. Fine opening for
young, enterprising Indian boy.

WHY is IT?

Why does a small boy high as the
table" cast a shadow six feet long?
Of course the small boy has noticed
that his shadow is not always longer
than himself, it's length depends on
the height of the sun above the hOri-
zOn. If the sun is right above him
in that part of the sky called the
zenith or highest point, the shadow
is a small affair dancing around his
feet, but as the sun sinks toward the
west, its rays slant as they approach
the ground and so the body Of even
a small boy throws a shadow that
looks like a giant stretched on the
ground.

ARE YOU MAKING THE MOST OF
VEGETABLES? ASKS EXPERT

Search every cookbook for the
best ways of preparing vegetables.
All vegetables have possibilities, and
can be made most savory by the wo-
man who really knows how to cool"
is the advice of Mrs. Katherine Hoen-
lein, member of the mayors commit
tee on food Investigations in New
York, gives to housekeepers who
economic on food cost.
Peas, beans and lentils are all equal
to meat nutrition, and can be made
into many appetizing dishes-purees,
stews, soups, etc. And in planning
your menu don't forget rice, espe-
cially the natural brown rice, which
contains more nUtriment than the
polished rice. In a curry with sal
mon or shrimp, or as a border with
warmed-oVer meat and gravy, or as
a vegetable with butter sauce, rice is
a very valuable article of food.
Soups should be made from the
liquor of every vegetable cooked, with
a little milk, oleOmargarine or butter
added. The water from the vegeta-
bles, which the American cooks
throw down the drain, contains the
mineral salts or the vital element of
vegetable, and should never be vast
ed. Rice water, also, which is usual
ly discarded, forms a valuable base
for soup,

The POLITICAL POT

The regular rout .ie Of political do
ings in South Carolina this year COM
mences with the Reorganization of
the precinct clubs, followed by the
county conventions, and the state con-
vention.
The precinct clubs meet Saturday,
April 25, re-organize by the election of
presidents, executive committeeman,
and the selection Of deleeates to the
county conventions to be held on May
4-the precinct meetings being held on
Saturday and the club meetings being
held on Monday.
The county conventions, after or
ganization, will elect county chairmen,
secretaries and treasurers, state exc
cutive committee men and delegates
to the state convention. Each county
is entitled to twice as many members
in the state convention as it has rep
resentatives in the general assembly.
Each precinct club Is entitled to
representation in the county conven-
ton on a basis Of one delegate for
each twenty-five votes cast in the last
preceding first primary election.
While Of course such division as may
occur in the precinct club organiza-
tions and the county conventions will
be on basis of Blease and anti Blease
as it has been for the past four years,
the recognized issue will be restric-
ton of the primary-whether or not
the rules will be amended so as to pre-
vent white men who are unable to
register or who fail to register from
voting.

the Liberia suburb saw quite good
deal that was calculated to furnish
material for consideration. The land
scape for a radius Of nearly half a
mile from a common centre was dotted
with cabins and cottages in keeping
with the resources Of the owners, and
many Of these cabins were surrounded
by flower and truck gardens, fruit
trees and the like, which added to
their comfort and coziness. At one
time upwards Of one-haH Of the negro
population of Yorkville lived in this
suburb.
There are still a good many negroes
living in Liberia; but many Of the
spots that were formerly occupied by
homes of the kind described, are now
barren and deserted without so much
as a sign being left Of the houses and
trees that once stood thereon. Some
have rotted down and been used as
kindling wood, or to repair other
houses or fences, many have been
burned and otherwise disposed Of.
On being asked as to what had be-
come of the Inhabitants, an old resi-
dent said some had died without leav-
ing anybody to take their places, some
had moved further back into the out
skirts, some had scattered to the
farms, some had gone to Mississippi
and Arkansas and a few had gone to
Liberia in Africa. A few new cottages
are going up in the suburb Of Liberia
but only a few. The settlement is
nothing like what 1t once was.

Beef Cattle are scarcer in York
county than they have been for years
There are few owners Of choice
beeves who are asking cents pound
for what they have, though the cents
a pound kind are quite scarce. Cattle
are still being sold as low as cents;
but very few are to be had at that
price that are fit for beef.
There are a good many regrets being
expressed by people from the town
and country on witnessing the tear
ing down Of the old court house. OF
course, when the new building goes up
many will forget the mistake that has
been made; but others will continue
to remember the $4,000, or $4,000 sac
rifice which has been made at the
instance Of very few individuals.

however, that whether a cattle raiser

South Carolina and the south are to
be congratulated on having man like
Hon. A. f. Lever at the head Of the
national house committee on agricul-
ture. 1t is q fact that the people OF
this locality hardly knew what the ag-
ricultural department was for until
Mr.. Lever became a member Of the
agricultural committee a few years
ago. AS an ordinary minority member
of this committee, he soon began to
get in good work for South Carolina.
He, more than any other one man, is
responsible for the institution of the
cooperative demonstration work, for
the soil survey work, for the tick erad-
ication work, for the improved cattle
agitation, for requiring cotton mills,
buyers and warehouse men to give
statistics of cotton on hand, and for
various other things. He is now trying
to see to it that the cotton producer
shall have a larger share Of the profits
derived from his products, and is do
ing other things. Mr.. Levers one re-
gret is that the days are too short to
enable him to do all, he wants to do
for the. agricultural interests, and
those who are watching him closest
are wondering how he manages to ac-
complish as much as he is accomplish
ing. There is only one place in the
national government more important
to the agricultural interests of the
country than the craftsmanship OF the
committee on agriculture, and that Is
the secretaryship of agriculture.
