Dreamiand.

Most people sleep for about eight
hours out of the daily twenty-four.
That means they sleep onethird uf
each day. or one-third of their entire
lives. And, according to many scien
fists. the whole time We are asleep we
dream. We do not remember most OF
these dreams. Indeed. we remember
only the very last one before we wake
or some dream that Is 50 vivid it wakes:
us. In other words. for onethird OF
our total lives we are dwelling in
dreamland. And dreamland Is coun,
try of more utter absurdities. more
grisly horrors. more fears. hopes. sur
prises and novelties than any land de-
scribed by the most imaginative au-
thor. 1t is a land full Of mystery. a
land that science has for sixty centu
ries sought In vain to explore. 1t lies
amid wholly unexplored regions of the

sedate step. measured and regular, as

BUILDS A DAM TO
SAVE LAND FROM DROUTH

Salina, April 20.-C. G.. Nelson, a
short term student at the Manhattan
agricultural college and a Danish
farmer near Vesper, in Lincoln
county, is preparing to irrigate his
quarter section of land. In q small
creek called Spillman creek, he has
erected a dam seven feet high and
25 feet long. With this he can con-
troll many thousand barrels Of wat
er the most of the dry season. He
has a centrifugal pump which will
force 1900 gallons of water through
1900 feet of 7-inch iron pipes, which
are portable. His entire farm can
be watered frequently in this man
ner. Mr.. Nelson has been planning
an irrigation plant for several years,
but the protracted dry season last
year hastened his decision.
