dress on "A Programme OF Reform In

Fortier began with "a tribute TO the p!o-

One OF the weak features OF irrlga

districts is the low efficiency OF WA

Farmer PIundered.

We have been through a dark age

by the transportation company, the

He has been. in many instances. as
much OF Il vassal OF the modern tinan-

cities: when the farmer girl and the
farmer boy will. by reason of con-

GREEK SUFFRAGETTE
VISITS SALT LAKE
Mrs. H. Economidy, Cosmo.
politan Representative of
Her People, Praises West.

Mrs. II. Economidy, who is visiting
the cities of the United States in the
interests of the ''Victory.' Greek
magazine published in New York, and
to promote an uphft among the Greeks
of all classes in this country is IN Salt
Lake. She will remain several days
during which she Will visit nearly every
industry in which Greeks are employed
in the city and state.
Mrs. Economidy will talk to her
countrymen on subjects of socialism, re-
ligion and the evils of vice, but partic-
ularly on the social question, in which
she viii eDdeavor TO encourage the
Greeks to a higher standard of living.
In addition TO visiting the mines,

she dons overalls, she snys, that she
may be more in common with those
who listen 70 her.
Mrs. Economidy is virtually suf'
fragette. She has always believed, she
says, that as much should bo expected
from women as men and that the wom-
en- of all nations should he taught to
know the government and the business
OF their country. She does not talk
suffrage to the Greek women in
America. she says, because there are
very few of them VINO have any com
prehension of the subject. She SAYS it
will take considerable time 10 teach the
subject of equality to the women Of any
nation and that the women of Greece
must be taught such from childhood. 1t
is difficult and almost impossible, ac-
cording TO Mrs. Economidy, TO try to
teach grown up Greek women suffrage
when they have been taught since
early youth TO take no active part
in anything other than the home and
the children.
Mrs. Economidy has much praise for
America. She has lived in the United
States for more than ten years. living
most of the time in New York. She
has remarkable knowledge of the
English language and speaks fluently
on subjects Of national importance. She
admires the Americans for their ma
tional pride and their ambition. The
opinion Is prevalent in Europe, she
says. that Americans are boastful and
selfish, but this, she has come to learn
is an absolutely wrong opinion. Am

persistent ambition and their efforts
to achieve distinction for themselves;
ambitions which she believes the nation
should be proud of and which the peo-
pie of every nation should strive to at
tain. In speaking of her work Mrs.
Economidy said;
We are striving TO set higher
moral standard Of living among the
Greeks through our magazine and
by the work We can do in visit
ing the Greeks in various cities
throughout the country We direct
our efforts TO the elimination of

Water Is Cheap.

Not only is there urgent need for
better structures and more impervi-
Gus canals. but more attention should
be paid 10 the lcsscning or preven-
tion OF other waste. No benefits
accrue in wctttng soil ten feet below
the deepest roots. Farmers should
strive 10 apply water 10 the roots OF
plants and not 20 the gravel or rocks
below tho soil. They should like
wise desist from irrigatlng every
road on which water can be run.
Furthermore. water is becoming too
valuable 10 waste in saturating tho
atmosphere.
The next feature 10 which I wish
to direct your attention Is not 80
