FOREIGN EVENTS

LONDON, May I9.- Remarkable tes- hmony to thC popularity of the re. gently established office of Public Trustee is given in the sixth annual report og C. J. Stewart, showing that persons by express stipulation in their wills have selected his office to administer estates whose value is over half billion dolalrs -S551, ,S7g,- GOO. to be exact. Some six thousand trusts, amounting to more than S250s 100000 have been, and are being ad- ministered.
 This means that the wrecking of private fortunes by dishonest uus. tees is virtually a thing O fthe past in England Ten years ago it was a frequent thing for a trusted family lawyer to make off with the money that had been left to his clients often widows and orphans. Ttoday the ad- ministration of private estates is al most wholly in the hands of tue Pub lie Trustee, behind whom the Govern. ment stands responsible for the fundb entrusted to his care.

The possibility of war with Mexico has been before our people for some tme if general war occurs it means invasion of Mexican territory The question nat uraly arises What are the disease dangers which will confront he American soldiers in Mexico? It has long since passed into a truism that in disease kills more than bullets. Win this prove true in a Mexican war? The increased knowledge Of preventive medicine since the spanishAmerican War last encouraged the belief that the mortality from disease will be material y essened To what extent is this belief iusthed, and what are the diseases from which troops uner in tropical country and from which they should be protected2 These questions which have probably been fin the minds of many of our people during the lost few weeks are answered in recent issue of The Journal Of Che American Medical Association.

BUCKEYE TO SPEND
 $33,OOO F0R WATER
Irrigation Company Plans to Reclaim Four Thousand
 Acres of Land.

BUCKEYE, May 19-Eyery indica- ton is that at a meeting of the stock holders in the Buckeye Irrigation company, to be held here May 25, an expenditure of S33.OO0. for the enlarge ment Of the canal and laterals and for the construction of a main drain for the reclamation of 4000 acres Of sub merged land. win be authorized
 Engineer Harry Hancock of Phoe- nix has been looking over the valley for some time and he has prepared detailed plans for the proposed im- provements His plans have been ex- amined carefully by a committee com posed of C. M. zander, chairman, Will liam Walton, w. R. Blackmer, P II. Penson and D. A. Mollett This com mlttee will.m make a strong recommen- dation that the improvements be car ried out It is expected that enough stock will be sold to pay an expenses.
 Altogether some 5000 acres will be added to the irrigated area of the val ley The area of submerged land to be reclaimed contains about 4,000 acres. With a main drain to the river it will be easy for the owners to con struct their own drains and get rid of the surplus water
 The submerged land has all been under cultivation but as a result of overirrigation by the owners and flooding with waste water from farms above, it is now a swamp.
 lt is contended that the enlarge ment Of the laterals will catch most of the waste water and also increase the "duty" of water. Water will be carried in larger heads so that there will be less loss from evaporation and .seepage.
 Stock has been issued for 10000 acres of land in the Buckeye Valley but it is not all using water On the other hand water is being sold to several thousand acres without stock. Hereafter no water will be sold to land that has not bought stock and all land that does have stock must pay for water whether it is used or not.

"FoURTH" IN rHE WARREN DlsrRlcT


 If it were left to the children of the Warren Dis trct there would be joyous celebration locally of the Fourth of July this year Why not consider the pro ieot from the viewpoint the child when citizens semble in mass meeting tonight to decide whether there win be local observance of this most i'm nortant or Nations holidays?
 Grown-ups would do well to guard against indifer toward anniversary of the birth the United States They cannot be expected to snin the pngent smoke of 6recrackers pnwheels with the rel ish in days gone by. They will be excused for shielding their ears from the bombardment of toy mons. and their eyes may blink from the glare of Ro- man candles at night But all these things mean much to youthful spirits, to younger eyes and to in which the drums have not become oversenstye.
 Fourth of July is the keynote in the arch of our national history To the child, the date represents the the alphabet of historical knowledge Booldore is immeasuraby less effective in impressng Che date on a chld's memory than the tangilde medium sup piled by somewhat riproaring, fag-bedecked, oratory punctuatea celebration day The time will never come when patriotism is other than a priceless asset to any nation. An event will never arise in this try which will exceed in potency for patriotic inspra- tion the Fourth of July
 If the children of the Warren District denied the privilege of witnessing and participating in so called "oldfasbioned Fourth" they will be cheated of something Grown-ups will not have to be wholly self sacrificing to their time and financial support to a celebration Many of them are capable of having al most as good time as the children. It is essential however that unified efforts be put forth by Warren Lowell and Bisbee In each community there sev- eral publicspirited and women who will volunteer to take the lead the leaders want their respective communities back of them. The Warren District can well afford to finance the undertaking if there is a whoe-hearted response when the hat is passed. The District possesses an abundance of patriotism if it can be put into step for the march along well defined paths of effort
 Let every citizen plan to attend the mass meeting tonight If the hall is too small to accommodate the crowds there can be overflow meetings. Let plans be adopted Uhch will insure a Fourth Of July celebration in the Warren District that win be longremembered as an that provided adequate observance of the day while stin conserving the demands of safety and sanity.

How to Eat Apparatus.

HOW to eat asparagus. This is a
problem as tremendous as how to eat
an orange. Ivan Heald in the London
Express. gives some advice on the
point.
Rest one elbow" he says, ION the
cloth and wrap one leg around the leg
Oh the table so as to prevent overbal-
ancing. Grip the asparagus and rub
It's neck In the melted butter. Before
1t has time to make up its mind which
way 1t will wobble swing the asparagus
on Its feet and waggle it in the air to
test Its pliability. Then open your
mouth and make feint at biting your
stalk In the small of the back.
Ten to one the asparagus will try to
dodge by doubling up. You get him as
his head comes down, and there you
are.
Never in the excitement of the strug.
gle be tempted into biting the aspara.
gus below the belt. It's not playing
the game, and. besides, it gives the
stalk fine opportunity to whip around
with left hook to the ear"

His Majesty's Fault.

In the reign of Francis /. of France
quickness of wit was often more
promptly rewarded than actual merit.
The monk, Regnier Mainus, did not
lack merit, but he owed his first ad-
vancement nevertheless to clever re-
tort.
Francis. who was very fond of the
game Of tennis. was playing a match
one day with Mainus. The monk final
ly ended the hard fought game with a
brilliant stroke
The king was somewhat out of hui
NOR on account of his defeat. IRE
markable," he exclaimed sarcastically,
ito think that such a stroke should be
made by mere monkw
But. SIRE" replied the monk. who
was as quick with his wit as he was
with his racket. st Is your ma1esty's
own fault that the stroke was not
made by an abbot"
A week later Mainus received his ap.
pointment as abbot of Beaulieu.-
Youths Companion.
