J. M. BUsBY's MINsTRELs.

The ]. NJ. Bus5y Minstrels that
showed in Great Bend Tuesday night
was up to the standard in every par
ticular and was greeted by one OF
the largest crowds we ever saw at a
tent show. People who have watched
shows in the past know that the
name Of Busby alone is a guarantee
that it is only the highest class Of
attraction.
Mr.. Busby showed in Great Bend
about two years ago, and from that
time, people who saw the show have
been waiting for another opportunity
to witness the attraction, and were
not disappointed in the least with
the performance given Tuesday night.
Mr.. Busby has been in California
since he was in Great Bend before,
and was engaged in the real estate
business, but had one Of the best
managers handling the show On the
road, in Mr.. Anderson. Anderson Is
one of the best show men in the bus
mess, and a gentleman in all respects
and runs a clean, moral show.
We wish to especially mention one
Of the features Of the program, the
bass solo and Quartette, which Is alb
solutely one of the best on the road
today, and this feature alone is well
worth the price of admission. The
whole show, barring nothing, is up
to date in every particular and enc
well worth attending by all.
Mr.. Busby has purchased new TOT
and new seats which he has had
shipped to Ellsworth, and when ht
gets the new lay out will have The
best tent organization on the road
and should he again return to Grea'
Bend will be met by the larges
house ever given any show that eve
stopped here.

AMOUNT OF WATER
USED DAILY ON FARM
Statistics Indicate Large GUAM
THY in the Aggregate.
MACHINERY CAN DO The WORK

The amount of water used daily on
the farm gives a measure Of the
amount of work required In handling
it.
In a recent bulletin Of the United
States department Of agriculture the
following are given as the amounts
Of water required on a farm daily:
Each member Of the family, twenty
five to forty gallons; each cow.
twelve gallons; each horse, ten gal
Ions: each hog, two and one.half gal,
Ions; each sheep, two gallons. A
family of five would need 1875 gallons
to 200 gallons a day. If this has to be
carried 100 feet and one pail Is car
ried at a time, 1t will mean travelling 280
miles. a year with a pail full Of water.
If this all has to be pumped, say sew
enty-flve feet, it will mean raising 1877
tons Of water seventy-ive feet high.
This is work that can be done by
machinery, and should be, but often 1t
has to be done by the women. The
windmill can be used to pump this
water and to put it into the house,
where turning a faucet will bring it.
and such an outfit need not cost very
much. This is done on many farms,
as well az at several of the North Da.
kota substations. Then the waste
water can be run into a septic tank
and thus remove the, labor of carrying
it out. The gasoline engine is also
being used with much success fol
pumping water.
When windmill power is used the
storage tank needs to be large enough
to hold several days supply, while If q
gasoline engine is used the storage
capacity need be only enough for a
day, or say 200 gallons for a family
of six. If this supply is to provide
for stock, too, the storage capacity
will need to be increased accordingly.
Fire protection is another thing
that the water can be used for, and
the storage capacity needs to be in
creased if this is to be provided for,
AS the water supply Is made more
convenient, nor uses will be made
of it, and so a greater service secured

FLEET COULD USE CANAL
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
6%attleships Would Hurry Through to
Pacific Coast If Necessary.

Necessity demanding such a move,
the entire Atlantic fleet at the pres
ent time could be sent through the
Panama canal to the Pacific side OF
Mexico in ample time to meet the
navy Of any country desiring to in
volve itself in the present trouble.
Three days notice to the dredging
crew in the Culebra slide district, it is
said by canal experts, would enable
war vessels Of the largest draft to be
taken through the "big DITCH" though
the ships would move slowly and with
proper precaution against a recurrence
Of landslides in the cuts.
The channel Is in condition for pas
sage by vessels Of ordinary draft. It
is understood, says the Washington
Post, that orders were issued when
the gravity Of. the Mexican s~ituations
began to force itself on the attention
Of the government that the dredges
should be put to work to open an alb
solutely adequate passage and keep an.
open waterway, so that the warships
could 8 the canal In a Of emer-
6SASys AAub VAUSAs ~ 40 6o4up Ad0 DSSA
complied with, and the canal is ready
to- be opened Immediately to this kind
Of traffic.
However, neither navy nor army ON
cials expect trouble with a foreign foe
which would demand the presence OF
war craft on the Pacific side. There
may arise a need for a blockade Of
ports on that coast as well as on the
gulf side Of Mexico, but the general
belief Is that q naval strength sufl-
cfent for this purpose is already, or
soon will be, available.
General satisfaction is expressed in
Washington over the fact that the ca
nal is now ready for any emergency
and that a trip around Cape Horn,
such as taken by the Oregon I'm the
Spanish-American war, never again
win be necessary.

A S5OO,0OO,0QO
five YEAR WAR.
American Army Experts Report,
Says Mexican Official.
AGREES. With HIS ESTIMATE

Consu General at New York believes
c%arranza and Villa Would Remain
Neutral During HostiIities-Artiliery
and Army AeropIanes Strongest Part
Of Mexiee's Fighting Equipment.
Manuel de Esteva, the new Mexican
consul general In New York, asserts
that q wal with Mexico would take at
least FIVE years fighting and would
cost $500, 10000. De Esteva makes
this estimate upon his own belief and
adds that these figures had been named
In the report Of a major of the United
States army sent. into Mexico Ito look
the situation over" The name Of this
army officer was not given.
IAN official told me-" said the consul
general, that at the time of the Ma
dero descriptions this country sent an
experienced military strategist, q
major in the United States army. to
look over the Mexican situation. His
report, I was told, was that it would
cost the United States $500, 100000 and
the war would last five years.
II understand the majors report also
stated that this country would require
an army Of between 100000 and $780,
600 men,"
5oaets Of Huerta's Artillery.
Asked how Mexicans generally would
regard Intervention by the United
States, the consul general answered:
IT am certain that all classes will
join against a common enemy. 1t does
not matter what country is the in
vader, Mexico will fight for her free
dom. I think Villa and Carranza will
remain neutral. Certainly they would
not join the United States. 1t Is my
opinion that President Huerta does not
want their aid and cooperation. Mex
leo has one Of the best artilleries in
the world. We have a French and an
English artillery which cannot be sur
passed.
"There is a type Of fighting man in
Mexico, the Mexican Indian, who fights
just for the love Of it. He is a natural
born fighter. He is the type that nev-
err gives in,"
Mexico's Strong Aerial Fleet.
Mexican interest in aerial navigation
has led to the upbuilding of an i'm
portant aviation corps in the Mexican
army. and several flying machines have
been imported from the United States
and France, it WIS said. Army off,
GERS have been sent to New York city
and Paris for instruction in aviation.
and Mexico is declared to be stronger
in aerial craft than any other Amer
lean government.
Consul General de Esteva intimated
that to all Appearances it looked as IL
the United States had long ago ex-
pected the present crisis.
Commenting on Huerta's attitude In
not saluting the flag of the United
States. the consul general said:
IAN official told me that it would be
no use for Huerta to salute the flag.
He might salute the flag today and
the United States would have some
thing else against Mexico tomorrow.
If Huerta saluted the flag something
else would come to precipitate mat
