SUNDAY JUNE PEST. IS
 NAMED FATHERS DAY
Mrs. John Bruce DOdd, Spokane Wash. is Originator of Idea. Both Houses Congress Pass Bill
 for Fathers Day.

Spokane, Wash, May 21.-Sunday, June 21, has been proclaimed Fathers day by Mrs. John Bruce Dodd of Spokane, who conceived the idea and originated the plan of paying tribute to fathers in all parts of the world one day each year.
 Although Mrs Dodd has received notice that a bill designated to set aside the first Sunday in June for this purpose has passed both houses of congress, she states that until off cial announcement of the fact has been made by the government third Sun day in June will be observed as Faith CTS day.
 "Following the custom established four years ago, ministers in hundreds of American churches, and several in foreign countries, will devote their sermons to fathers on that day" states Mrs Dodd. Since the practice was started in Spokane it is very fit ing that the people of this city observe the day appropriately. The red rose is worn for the living, the white rose for the dead. A luncheon in honor of the day will be given by the city federation of women's clubs on Thurs day, June IS.

 The Association adopted resolu- tion to the effect that the subscription rate of country weeklies should be ad vanced from $1 to $1.50 per year, in keeping with the advanced cost of la Dor and raw material, the higher pri- ces along other lines. This was not. however, considered compulsory in any sense, and a number of the editors expressed their determination to make no change from the rate now preva lent. y

New Way
To Eradicate
Fly Pest

As result of experiments, the
department Of agriculture has dis
covered that small amount Of or
dinary borax sprinkled daily on
manure, will effectively prevent the
breeding Of the typhoid or house
iy. Similarly the same substance
applied to garbage, refuse, open
toilets. damp floors and crevices in
stables, cellar or markets, will pre-
vent any further breeding.
The investigation, which includ-
ed experiments with many sub
stances, was undertaken to discov-
er some means of preventing the
breeding of flies in horse manure
without lessening the value of this
manure as a fertilizer for use by
the farmer. 1t was felt that If
some means OF preventing the
breeding of flies near a human
habitation could be devised, the di-
seases spread bo these filthy germ
carriers could be greatly reduced.
While the Swat the fly campaign
traps and other devices for reduc-
ing the number of typhoid-carry-
ing flies are of value, they are OF
less importance than the preven-
tiou OF the breeding.

Vote Oh $4OO,OOO
Bonds For Project
Farmers On French Tract to Extend
irrigation Project; Ingate A.
500 More Acres.


What is unquestiohablY the most
gigantic enterprise to be launched
ia this county is the proposition OF
voting on $500. 600 bonds by the
farmers on the Antelope Valley r.
rigation project, IS miles east Of
Cimarron, or what is known as the
French tract, in which the remand
er Of the land on that tract will be
placed under irrigation.
This important election will be
held on Saturday. August 20, and
from what can be learned there will
be comparatively few Il any dis
senting votes against the bond is
sue, the farmers being reluctant to
favor the present condition, as the
project as it now is, is wholly in
adequate to furnish the necessary
water for irrigation.
With the completion Of the pro-
ject, dependent as il is on the ac-
ceptance Of the bond issue, an ad-
ditional acreage of IA, 500 acres of
land will be susceptible to irriga-
tiou, making a total OF nearly 2o,-
600 ON the entire tract, one OF the
largest bodies OF farming land in
the northern part OF the state and
also one OF the most prosperous
sections.
The $500, 900 will be expended
in constructing the necessary re-
servoirs, bitches, lateraIs. etc. and
to utilize the waters towards bene-
fetal use in supplying it to the
farmers to grow crops. The News
has been reliably informed that the
largest dam will be constructed
about seven miles east Of Cimar-
ron at point where a natural site
is to be had. Other lakes will be
constructed on the tract in aumbers
to conform with the acreage under
the system.
About 5000 acres are now under
irrigation on the tract and in dry
seasons there is a shortage OF wat
er, which the farmers hope to
ameliorase by voting the bonds,
The farmers acquiesce that the is
suing OF bonds and the completion
Of the project will be to their pc
cuniary benefit in that it enhances
the price Of their lands.

In Wholesale circles it is report

mark before several months have

Demo Ticket

With SS delegates present, the
Democrats held the county conven-
tion at Springer last Saturday and
nominated two candidates for the
lower house Of rhe Legislature at
Santa Fe. H. A. Kiker of Ration
and a man named Fernendez OF
Colmor are the men who must
make the race for the togos.
While little or nothing is known
OF the Colmor man, it is probable
that he will make a good race. On
the other hand H. A. Kiker Of Ra.
ton is we'll known to practically all
in the county and the Democrats
could not have nominated a strong
er man in the county to head the
party ticket. He is a good orator
besides being an able lawyer. He
can do things for this county il
given an opportunity, as he is a
conscientious and incessant work
er.

Grim Reaper Calls
Mrs. ]. H. Walker
Passes Away In MONDAY Of Life;
Services Conducted In Ration;
Community Is Shocked.

ms community was shocked
Tuesday to learu OF the sudden
death on O'Clock that evening of
Mrs. ]. H. Walker, wife OF a local
minister. Mrs. Walker was oper-
ated upon for appendicitis at the
Miners hospital in Ration, Tues
day morning from which she did
not recover. About S o'clock Rev.
Walker sent a wire for the children
to come as the life of their mother
could not be saved. DR.. Bass
motered to Ration with the child
rem arriving there at o'clock
two hours after their mother had
passed away.
Funeral services were held at 2
o'clock Wednesday afternoon at
the Fugate chapel in Ration, and
the burial was in the Ration ceme-
terry. DR.. McMurray OF Louis
vile, KY, a lifelong friend Of the
Walkers oficiated at the sad occa-
sion paying a beautiful tribute to
the life of the deceaused.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker and child
rem came to Cimarron from Ken
lucky last October, having charge
of the South Methodist work. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker were highly
respected in this community and
the condolences Of the public are
with the bereaved husband and the
children in this hour OF extreme
sadness. Mr.. Walker will contin-
ue his work in Cimarron at least
until October.
Mary Minner was born in Mar
ion, Kentucky, where she was rear
ed to womanhood. Sixteen years
ago she was united in marriage to
Rev. J. II. Walker, and to this un.
ion were born two children Mar
guerite aged IA and James Henry
aged 10 years, who with their faith
er mourn the loss OF a loving
mother and wife.
She ran the journey of her life
in thirty-seven years. IL is a path
marked with deeds of kindness and
cheer. With these she vas lavish.
Truth was the inspiration Of her
life and bv kindness she exempli-
fed its worth. And there was rea-
son tor this When the bloom of
childhood was blooming into the
blush OF refined womanhood she
had sought the pearl Of great price
and made it chief among the jewels
OF her youthful hopes. The inter-
vening years have been full OF con-
sistent plan and action. This was
the fountain of the maturity of her
character. For upon the white
canvas OF her life she drew no un-
certain lines which needed to be
erased. And with the hand Of a
master she delicatelv spread the
colors OF life and made them blend
with promise. Therefore we
mourn, but not without hope.
Through the mists which gather
we hear the tumult and the roar As
OF Niagara, but her God has set
the bow Of his promise. Hs leaves
us not alone in the presence Of the
unknown.
Beautiful in life, beautiful in
death, but far more beautiful in the
glorious resurrection mourn.

An inch of rain strikes one as very
little. But it is really big rainfall
When an inch of rain has fallen i
means, literally, that the amount oi
water descending from the SKY III
that particular shower would cover
the surrounding territory to deplA
of one inch, providing, of course tnat
it did not run away or soak into the
ground.
1t means that on one acre wafer
enough to fill more than 600 barrei2
of forty-fve gallons each has fallen
If the rainstorm covered a territory
comprising 1000 acres, which would
be a very small shower, 10000 tons
of water would fall from the clouds
Rainstorms frequently cover enor
nous areas, and often four and hve
inches of water fall in one rain. IL
this case the total number OF tons o.
water falling to earth is colossal.
