BANKERS OF NATION
TO AID IRRIGATION

To work out new plan of finan-
cling irrigation enterprises, and at the
same time to find a remedy for the
financial ills which have caused to re-
main unfinished many such projects
in Western states, is the big task
which the Investment Bankers Asso-
citation of America has set out to ac-
complish. The task has been placed
in the hands of a committee, of which
A. c. Foster of the Denver firm of
Causey, Foster G. Co., has been ap-
pointed chairman.
successful termination of the
committees work will mean a new
impetus to the development of idle
land in Colorado. 1t will not only
bring relief to farmers holding land
holders of bonds and other securities
of such enterprises. but by remedying
the evils that have frequently attanded
this character of financing, will create
a new and safe market for irrigation
investments and thus open the way
for the developement of thousands OF
additional acres of land.
The committee already has begun
work According to the chairman, an
nouncement of the object of its plan
has created widespread interest and
already has resulted in the receipt of
suggestions from bankers, investors
and others interested in irrigation and
reclamation projects.
The plan aims to place on a sound
er basis the financing, both of irri-
CATION enterprises of the West and the
drainage reclamation enterprises of
the South, many of the latter having
to overcome obstacles similar to those
which confront the irrigation compan-
les in the semi-arid sections of the
country.

JUNCTION BANK GETS SMALL
RUN BECAUSE OF RUMORS

Reports reached Delta Saturday
evening and Sunday morning that
Grand Junction had had another bank
failure. These were denied, however,
by published statements in the news

slight run had been caused by false ru-
mors regarding the Grand Valley Ma

Withdrawals were confined entire
" to the small depositors, prominent
men and corporations of the city who
have large sums in the Grand Valley
bank having every confidence in Its
safety Altogether about $4,000 was
drawn out yesterday, and almost as
much was deposited during the day.
Today very few Withdrawals were
made, as the depositors were complete
ly reassured by the hugs piles of gold,
silver and banknotes which were in
evidence on every hand
The officials of the bank have
been making a rigid investigation OF
the source of the false rumors which
started the Withdrawals and which,
apparently, had been circulated freely
from one end of the valley to the otn-
er. The nervous condition of the pub
lie. due in large measure to the clos
ing of the Mesa County National bank
six weeks ago, was responsible in
laroe measure, as every little rumor Is

zone report had it that the original
cause of the Withdrawals VISA the
payment of the checks of the Grand
Junction Fruit Growers association,
which were distributed few days ago.
These were on the Grand Valley bank,
and as the checks were for small
amounts there was a large crowd of
people on hand having them cashed.
This is believed to have started the
report of the run, which as it gained
circulation started Withdrawals from
the bank. One absurd report which
was circulated at meeting of wo-
mans lodge one night this week was
to the effect that there had been run
on the bank and it was compelled to
close it's doors at o'clock in the after
noon. Naturally this frightened
good many people, who, fearful that
the bank wouldn't open, withdrew
their deposits.

FEEDING seets and Alfalfa.

Can you give me some definite IN
formation through your journal re-
garding the value of the sugar beet as
a feed for farm animals? What is the
most economical ration for hog
when feeds are selling at the following
prices: Alfalfa hay, SIS per ton;
corn, s1.5O per hundred; barley, $l.1O
a hundred; wheat, $1.2O a hundred;
wheat screenings, 81 hundred; oats,
s1.35 a hundred; sugar beets, IS ton.
H. B., Lohi, Utah.
Answer.-It is generally understood
that a IS ton of sugar beets is worth
from 9 to $11 when fed to livestock in
connection with grain and alfalfa. 1t
requires from Az to 8 pounds OF
beets as grown in the arid region to
equal a pound of grain, such as corn
and barley. Your recourse, we should
think, would be the screenings or the
barley, fed with some alfalfa in con
nection with the beets. The ration
therefore should be five pounds OF
the beets to one of grain, with the al
falfa in racks so the hogs could eat all
they want of it. A little corn at the
last three or four weeks of the feeding
period would aid in hardening the
flesh, but this is not necessary with
the ration given.-Farm and Field.

the sort. Politics became an evil be-

How Overcome
a Bad Constipation
There Is a Mild Laxative That Will
Bring Safe and Pleasant
Relief Over Night.

II is only natural that the simplest
of ailments should be the most gen
eral, and so we have a whole nation
suffering from constipation and in
digestion, for they are closely allied.
But common as constipation is, many
people do not seem to know they have
it. They will complain of headache
droWsiness or oiliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause of the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movent at least once a day. II you
pass day you are constipated, and
the result will be that YOU will catch
a cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble, take a
dose of DIR. CaldWell's Syrup Pepsin at
night before retiring and by morning
relief will come, without disturbance
from sleep or any inconvenience.
Legions of people use it regularly
in such emergencies, some of them
formerly chronic invalids who had suf-
fered from constipation all their
lives. Mrs. N. Frantz, 67 Eighth St,
