narily, and remove the need for them
to concentrate at permanent watering
places.
Where the natural water supply is
more than fifty feet below the sur
face of the ground the best way to
reach it, says the department, is by
drilling or boring we'll and raising
the water by means of a windmill or
pump. A deep well of from $50 to 3OO
feet, such as is common i'll the TeXas
Panhandle region, complete with wind
mill, truck, troughs, etc, represents an
investment of about 81 600 and should
easily supply between $50 and 500
cattle daily. No we'll is complete,
claims the department, without a re-
servoir with a capacity large enough
to carry the stock dependent upon. it
over long calm spell. The cost of
reservoir holding approximately 20o,-
600 gallons of water should not ex-
ceed 500.
The best kind of trough for holding
water derived. from wells and springs,
thinks the department, is the ordinary
metal one used by stoekmen. 1t is
light in weight, will last long time,
and costs little. However, where the
materials are readily available and
the cost of cement is not prohibitiVe,
the department recommends concrete
as better than any other trough ma
terial.
Work has been done on the national
forests to improve the water facilities
on the range lands. In all total OF
676 separate water Improvement pro
iects have been developed, 329 by the
users of the range themselves, 172
through cooperation between the for
est service and the users, and 17o by
the service alone. OF these GIG i'm
provements, 37S are springs or seeps,
286 are reservoirs or tanks, while the
rest are wells, trails and the like.

U. S. Department of Agriculture Gives
Some Valuable Information on In

Stock Watering Places

Washington, D. c., Nov. 12.-How
range which ordinarily can not be
gra2ed because of inadequate water
facilities can be opened up for stock,
is told by the department of agricul-
ture in farmers bulletin 592, on the
development and Improvement of stock

No stock range can be said to be
properly utilized, the department
AYERS, if there is an uneven distribu-
tlon of water. On some areas the water
supply is not sufficient for the number
of stock the forage will support On
others the water supply is sufficient,
but is not permanent, making it neces-
sary to remove the animals before the
season is over. Still other areas are
made practically worthless for stock
purposes by the absence of water ex-
cept at rare intervals during winter
Range cattle need from s to 10 gal
Ions of water day, says the depart
ment and sheep from one-half to two
gallons, unless there is heavy dew and
an abundance of succulent feed. No
matter how good the forage on a given
area may be, animals must have all
the water they need or they will not
thrive. Cattle, moreover, should not
be required to travel on an average
more than two miles to reach water,
if they are to be in marketable condi-
tion in the fall.
The flow from ordinary springs and
even from seeps, can be increased by
digging them out and curbing the sides
with cement, the water being carried
in pipes to conveniently situated
made to furnish water supply by
cutting an open channel across the
main one, and drawing the spring and
surface water to some storage point
outside. Streams flowing through deep
canyons may be made accessible to
stock by constructing trails over which
the animals can reach them or by rails
ing the water to the surface of the
canyon by mechanical means.
When a natural water supply is
some distance from the range, small
dirt flood reservoirs can be con
structed almost anywhere to supple
ment the natural supply. If low place

Burdette Enters Ministry

Some years ago, Burdette's health
failing, he went to Los Angeles to re-
side, and there, entering the ministry,
he became the pastor of the Temple
Baptist church from 1903 to 1909,
during which time he built up a con-
gregation of thousands and established
a church in the Pacific City that IS
still regarded as wonder in size and
influence. He built a home at Pasa-

that city of wonderfully beautiful

LET AMERICA DICTATE THE FASHIONS!

A resolution was yesterday adopted by the Illi-
nois Federation of Women's Clubs in session in
Springfield declaring that the acceptance of Paris
ian styles discourages American creative genius and
is discrimination against the manufacturers of
the United States. Action of this sort is significant
because it shows that women beginning to see
that they too long have been silly devotees of for
eign fashions and it shows that they are beginning
to realize that their patronage, their good will and
their money belong within the confines of their
own United States
American women, many of them, have lost their
heads foreign fashions. They have accepted
dictates of Partisan dressmakers not because the
styles have been highly artistic and becoming, but
because the American women were unfortunately
born subjects of the of fashion abroad and
have paid homage to the foreign soveregns of style
ever since imported ideas first clothed them in their
cradles.
Not only have American women discouraged Gre
ative genius in their country, but they have
hurt home industries by clothing themselves largely
with the products of mills and factories the
sea. The Illinois confess that they have
done so, are sorry and going to try to do better
in the future. Their good example should be fol-
lowed by all American women who love their coun-
try.
The time is coming when our women will be
proud OF the label Made in America and will
display it ostentatousy they have been in
the habit of displaying foreig ign trade marks. The
war is bringing it about, inevitably Yet the slogan
which recently appeared, Made in America ism t
enough; trade i'll America, that S the stuff must
have more consideration to bring about the desired
result more quickly.
If the manufacturers of this country are to seize
the present opportunities, give work to the unem-
poyed and cause the smoke of industry not Of bat
tle to rise in volumes from this peaceful land to
the fullest extent possible they must have the sup
port of all patriotic Americans, and great part of
this support must come from those American women
who have formerly done so much of their buying
abroad.
Perhaps some articles of American manufacture
really inferior to foreign goods Perhaps the
women have gone abroad to spend their millions
because American manufacturers could not meet
all their wants. If this is so it has been the
womens own fault. They have given home genius
and home industries insufficient encouragement
Why should American designers worry their
brains over new styles when the women go to Paris
for their fashions? Why indeed should American
manufacturers expend large sums on their plants
in order to produce high quality products when the
women turn their backs and get their wardrobes in
Europe? Let American dollars be spent here in
America and Americans will produce the goods

The Rev. r. j. Burdette Dying

From Los Angeles comes the infor-
nation that the Rev. Robert j. Bur-
dette, newspaperman, humorist and
preacher, is dying at his home in
Pasadena. This will be sad news for
hundreds of admirers and warm
friends of the genial and sunny little
man who has gone through life pro-
viding joy and pleasure to thousands,
and whose entire life was devoted to
making other people happy. In all of
his ups and downs on this old mundane
sphere he has been always the same
bright ray of sunshine. 1t is not gem
orally known but Burdette is a native
Pennsylvanian, born in Fayette coun-
ty, and when lad he went with his
parents to Iowa. He is now 76 years
old. When the Civil war broke out
Burdette managed to enlist in the
Union army after many tribulations,
his size being against him. He finally
managed to get mustered in and he
was good soldier clear up to the close
of the war. After the war he was a
reporter on the Burlington "HawK-
eye," published by Frank Hatton, aft
erward Postmaster General and he be-
gan the publication of column of wit
and humor, being contemporary with
the ''Detroit Free Press man, the
Danburv - NeWsmau - Max Adeler of
the Philadelphia Bulletin;" Gold
smith, Of the New York -" Herald ,
and others who were the acknowledged

Burdette soon became famous, and
many requests coming for him to lee

funny lecture called ''The Rise and
Fall OF the Moustache' the delivery OF
which pleased audiences in every city
and town in the country. There was a
peculiar charm about Burdette's lee
lures. At one time he would have his
audiences convused with laughter and
few minutes later, with his wonder
full pathos, he would have them cry
ing. He swayed them by the magic
of his word-painting to what ever
mood he wished. In Harrisburg he was
great favorite, and for half dozen
years Burdette made his appearance
here and always to great audiences.
Through it all he kept up his news
