Parable Easily Interpreted.

Somewhere in the good book Is
parable which speaks of certain king
whose servant owed him a great debt.
And when the latter was discovered to
have nothing to pay, the king freely
forgave him all Which parable needs
no Interpretation. For who Is the
king but the Almighty, and who the
servant but humanity

Real Cause for THANKSGIVING.

On every side there Is cause for
thanksgiving. We are at peace with
all, even our enemies, If there be such.
Our past achievements stimulate to
further efforts, and our present diff

overcome them.

matter is that whatever is deep
enough to tap our real selves, at
the center of our nature has to go
to one common reservoir. The ripples
of pleasure and the bowings of hard
fate move the depths of this reservoir

Rightly Managed Creamery PAYS

A recent bulletin of the Montana
experiment station by r. C. Jones.
assistant professor of dairying, goes
quite extensively into the creamery
industry. He says that while farm
butter making will be always follow
ed more or less and must precede the
creamery, yet the factory method of
manufacture possesses many advan-
tages. Many farm dairymen are
careless in manufacturing and do not
put out uniform product. Again.
no two farmers put out the same
grade of butter. Much of the dairy
butter at present on the market is n
ferior and the result is that we find
farm butter bringing from 5 to 10
cents less per pound than creamery
butter. The bulletin goes on to dis
cuss the local cooperative creamery
quite extensively, declaring that if
organized and managed on a sound
business basis it is capable Of giving
large returns.
There are between A. and so
creameries in Montana. mostly CO.

local creameries organized are esti.

DID NOT SEE TREES IN pROJEC1
Disappointment OF HOmeseekel
Who Was Otherwise Pleased
Over Prospect.

A resident of the North Side tract
or one who has been over the terri
tory covered by it, can better appre-
ciate the sentiments expressed in the
following article, after admiring the
hundreds of homesteads over that
tract that are surrounded by beauti-
full shade trees
IL Is one thing to write so as to
please people; quite another to write
so as to stir to action. l. d. O'Don-
nell, supervisor of irrigation on the
government project, wrote something
for the September number of the Rec
lamation Record that put the forest
ry service to work. Here is his art
icle:
While on the train a few days ago
l made the acquaintance of an east
ern man who was coming west in
search of home. He had in mind
settling on government irrigation
project. We were Just then crossing
one of the most successful of the
government projects. The well till
ed farms made an ideal picture and
the abundant crops in healthful
growth were Joy to the eye of an
irrigation farmer. The homeseeker
did not appear we'll pleased with all
the prosperity in sight, and in reply
to my query as to how he liked the
looks of the project he said: The
settlers have not planted many trees.
This homeseeker voiced a thought
that has for some time been promi-
nent In my mind. The settlers have
not planted many trees.
Prof. F. S. Cooley of the Mon
tana agricultural experiment station
recently told of an old man who had
sold his farm. He had no children and
In his declining years the labors Of
the farm became burdensome. A
friend asked him what on the farm
he foud hardest to leave and he re
piled: 1t costs me a pang to leav,
the house and barns l have buildet
and the fences and other things
have made, but shall miss most tn,
trees 1 have planted
Few things make the farm HON,
more attractive than do the trees W,
have planted.
Everyone who as a child attend
ed country school well remember
the old poem. 'Woodman, Spare Tha
Tree and approves of the sentimen
therein expressed.
Just recall to mind the farms tina
have appealed to you as being at
tractive and homelike and you will
md that each had its beautiful trees

mind to make for yourself has it

heads. denouncing the brother In a
naughty, holier-than-thou manner, have
not yet attained a proper appreciation
Of what constitutes the law of Christ
the law OF love which is to govern
all the members OF the Body.
Too Much Self Esteem.
The Apostle points out that one great
danger which besets all true Christians
j. headineSS-th thinking too highly OF
SELF and therefore not highly enough
or the brethren. especially OF those
who stumble in some particular In
which this individual has not yet STUN
bed. Whoever thinks Of himself as
somebody in Gods sight should begin
To realize that he is II nobody unworthy
or Divine notice. except through Gods
favor in Christ. Such a person binders
his own progress in the good way.
Instead OF seeking to judge or re-
prove his neighbor or his brother In
Christ. each should seek to prove out
his own work. He should ascertain to
what extent he has put away anger,
wrath. malice. hatred. envy, strife, and
put on meeknes>. gentleness, patience,
long suffering, brotherly kindness, love.
To whatever extent he discerns that
he Is progressing along these Scrip
turally defined lines, to that extent he
has ground for rejoicing. without in
any sense or degree seeking to COM
pare himself with others and thus to
estimate himself wholly by the imper-
fections which he sees In others. Thus
each should seek to find his own weak
nesses and to bear his own burdens.
Along the lines Of this teaching. there
is no room for clericism. Rather, as
the Apostle points out. those who are
taught should communicate with those
who teach. telling them Of any bless
ings received or Of any clearer views
of Gods Word which have come to

TO WATER THREE
MILLION ACRES
Alberta Claims Largest Irrigation
Projects in Western
Hemisphere.

The province of Alberta, Canada.
claims the largest irrigation project
in the western hemisphere.
This has been completed at cost
of ST. 100000 and is to water g.
100000 acres of land. The project
was practically completed with the
finishing of the great dam across
Bow River at Desanno.
Only one other similar undertak-
Ing in North America approaches it
in extent. That is the Roosevelt
dam and irrigation project in Arizo-
ma. The dam proper is 1000 feet
long, is $50 feet thick at the base.
narrowing at the top to 35 feet. 1t
is built of earth reinforced with con-
crete.
The concrete portion of the dam is
prolonged westerly within the horse
shoe bend by an earth dyke with a
maximum height OF As feet and Il

width of 20 feet, and which. being
made in earth of somewhat trecher-
Gus character. gave considerable
trouble. In this respect it is COM
parable with number OF similar
deep earth cuts which have been
made and successfully maintained
under similar conditions in Montana
and elsewhere.
Beyond the eastern end OF this
cut. the main canal divides the small
Ter portion, with bed width of 80
feet and capacity of 500 cubic feet a
second. The main canal has a capac-
ity of 5000 cubic feet of water a sec
ond.
This is the dividing point. The
smaller canal turns north and the
larger branch continues on its wav
eastward. On the northern branch.
which extends almost to Red Deer
river. are many important struotn
such as drops and fumes.
These two canals carry the water
AIS miles into the distributing ditch
es which serve about 1000 miles.
There are on the eastern section 30
sets of these bitches. The larger
canals carry water direct from the
storage reservoir. This is formed by
a second earthen dam, located five
miles from the intake and behind the
great dam. This supplementary dam
is 1880 feet long, 35 feet high. and
contains $4,000 cubic yards of ma.
terial. 1t is built across the valley
Another notable feature of the
work is the Brooks aqueduct. which
