How They Keep Boys On the
Farms In Kansas.
. . ><>> >>>>>>

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside John Leslie Simpson writes
an article about the cooperation be-
tween parents and sons-particularly
in Kansas where the importance OF
keeping boys on the farms is we'll
recognized. Following is an extract
from the article:
THE Kansas farmer sees to it that
the boy has a certain amount of rec
reation and pleasure scattered through
his days Of toll.
1.-The son OF the Kansas farmer is
trained along financial lines from
childhood up. SO when he is ready to
start the serious road of manhood
and responsibility he doesn't have to
plunge in the water. SO to speak,
without knowing how to swim a
stroke.
"a Kansas farmer who had become
fairly we'll off by his own efforts
trained his boy along these lines
When the boy was twelve years old he
gave him pair of colts, the boy to
take care Of them, and help with the
other work to pay for their feed.
When the boy was sixteen the colts
had grown into a fine team of work
horses. The boy now had some pigs,
calves, etc, besides the team, and
took a real interest in the farm and
the work BY the time he was nine
teen years old he had nearly enough

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
STOP EATING MEAT FOR
WHILE If YOUR BLADDER
is TROUBLING YOU.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort Of paralyzed
and loggy. When your kidneys get
sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the body's urinous
waste. else you have backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells: your stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The rine is cloudy, full Of
sediment. chanenls often get sore, wa
ter scalds and you are obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night.
Either consult a good, reliable ply
sician at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces OF Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass
Of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to
neutralize acids in the urine 80 1t no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Sal; IL life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia water drink.

justifies the phrase Here is sample
Of the twaddle revealed as evidence in
the case:
He constantly twitted her"
AT dinner he would advise his un-
married friends never to marry, and
would look fixeily at her the while" "
He laughed at me when l ex-
pressed my views on any subject. He
said that my art and music We're pure
affection.
He ceased to have any person in
the house whom he did not approve,
nc matter if these persons were of the
highest social standing. He OBJ
jected to the Grand Duke as an i'm
proper person, although his own
mother had entertained the Grand
Duke
Il was Inundated to the extent Of
having to hire public caterer to come
to the house and arrange to serve the
dinner.
He said that I drank too much
chocolate, and that chocolate was ex-
pensive.
He said I could have only eight
people to dinner and only give din
ner twice a week"
His body servant deposed.
He dined in a separate room, in
full view of her guests. in order to
humiliate her"
If the foregoing gives a correct in
sight into the troubles of the Goelet
family it is easy tc see what was the
matter. Evidently the plaintiff and
defendant were each afflicted with
too much money and not enough to
do in the way Of useful toll. If Mr..
Goelet had good 1000 acre Umatilla
county wheat ranch to manage and
make produce maximum crop per
acre he would not have bothered over
drank. If Mrs. Goelet had been bless
ed with the care of little child or
two she would have been fully satis-
fled with only 16 dinner guests per
week, grand duke or no grand duke.
The willingness Of c. H. Marsh to
run for county Judge is one of the
hopeful features of
A Hopeful Sign. the political situa-
ton in this county.
The bane of politics is the difficulty
Of securing desirable candidates and
this is as true Of one party as an
other. 1t is naturally impossible for
the voters to elect good men unless
good men are running.
The need Of good democratic can
didate for judge is particularly felt at
this time because there is a division
within the ranks Of the republican
party and because of that division
there is no certainty there will be
desirable republican nominee. In the
event an undesirable is named the
people may have recourse to the Sc
lection of democrat. Partisanship
is of little consequence in this in
stance anyway. The office Of county
judge is business office, not a po.
litical office.
After the freight terminal one of
the next good things on the local de-
velopment program will be the ex-
tension of the Pilot Rock branch and
the establishment of sawmill here.
1t is something that is going to come
and it will be one more fine industry
for Pendleton and Umatilla county.
You cannot keep a good town like this
from growing.

Action is Needed. ing statement OF
much interest to
local people:
''The Indian water right sit
alton in a number of reservations
is such as to demand serious and
prompt consideration. Legisla-
ton has been enacted by con-
gress which makes beneficial use
Of water on Indian lands and in
certain reservations necessary. if
the water rights are to be held
by the Indians. Congress has
provided an appropriation for
constructing expensive irrigation
projects on several reservations
reimbursable out of Indian funds.
and the Indians are required to
make beneficial use Of the water
ON certain reservations within a
limited and comparatively short
time II this is not done they
will lose their water rights and
forfeit the same to subsequent US
ers of the water"
Since congress has passed no special
legislation with reference to irrigation
on the Umatilla reservation what Com
missioner Sells says probably does not
apply to the Umatilla reservation as
much as to some other reservations.
tinued failure to make use of the wa
ter here is injurious to the rights OF
the Indians. If we delay too long we
will pay the penalty.
Therefore the situation is one call
ing for action and Pendleton having
an interest in the subject almost equal
to that of the Indians themselves
should get busy. There is no subject
of greater Importance to Pendleton
than this and no field where there is
a better chance for accomplishing re-
suits.
On other reservations where the
government has undertaken irrigation
work the first step has consisted in
the passage of legislation ordering a
survey for the purpose of showing the
possibilities Of irrigation and the esti-
mated cost of the same.
PENDLEToN SHOULD ASK FOR
A SURVEY FOR THE PURPOSE OF
DETERMINING THE POSSIBLE
TIES OF FLOOD IRRIGATION on
THE RESERVATION AND THE
POSSIBILITIES OF STORING WA.
TER FOR IRRIGATION PURPOSES
SUCH A SURVEY WOULD SHOW
WHAT CAN BE DONE AND WOULD
PROVIDE A BASIS FOR FUTURE
ACTION.
The use Of flood waters for the ir-
rigation Of reservation land would be
beneficial to every interest concerned
II would be Of direct benefit to local
