MESA, March 14.-Southside farmers filled the High School Auditorium to it's capacity and overflowed into the with members of the executive end of the Reclamation Service.
 President J. P. Orme of the Water Users Association, called the meeting to order and then persuaded vice pres idnt F. W. Wilbur, a Mesa man, to take the chair.
 Followed addresses by Frank w. Hanna, Arthur P. Davis, l. D. O'Don- nell.
 Things had not progressed very far before the real kick of the meeting was delivered.
 Why did you let the High line come in?" was the question that started warm attack on that super gravity citizen. Davis answered. it was con structed because the people wanted it and because they paid for it. They built it complete and turned it over to the government in exchange for water"
 quick fire of questions followed. and President Orme was called upon to eXpOund the contract under which the pump project was developed. Davis refused to defend the wisdom or attack the unWisdom of the Highline He said he believed that that part of the valley was entitled as good land. share in the water, however, it came to be placed on the land, and as the opportunity of get ting the system completed, had pre- sented itself, he saw no reason why it should not have been accepted. This and other more detailed explanations satisfied the inquisitors, for they 'laiu off" that subject and centered their at tentiOn on flood water In fact, they leaped from one topic to another until practically nothing of present palpi- tating import was omitted. They coV- cred everything from the need for frac- tional heads of water for small gardens and orchards, to the construction of a million and a half dollar storage pro ject on the Verde River.

TRUE TO THE END.

And Aftsr Many Years Came Her
Tr1sie and Pathetic Reward.
A number Of years ago some miners
In Wales. III exploring an old disused
pit. found the body Of a young man
dressed In q fashion long out Of date.
The peculiar action Of the air Of the
mine was such as preserved the body
80 perfectly that It appeared asleep
rather than dead.
The miners were puzzled at the cir.
cumstances. No one In the district had
been missed within their remembrance,
and at last 1t was resolved to bring In
the oldest inha bitant. an old lady over
eighty years old. who had lived single
In the village all her life.
When she was taken into the ROOF
where the dead man lay q strange
thing occurred. The old lady fell on
the corpse and kissed It and addressed
It by every term Of endearment spoken
In q bygone generation. He was her
only love. and she had waited for him
her long life. She knew he had not
forsaken her.
The old lady and young man had
been betrothed sixty years before. Her
lover had disappeared mysteriously.
and she had kept her faith during the
long interval.
The miners removed the old lady to
her house, aud that night her faithful
spirit rejoined that OF her long lost
lover.-London Telegraph.

War Creates Desire for Land

Chicaeo-The war has not only
raised food prices over night but
there has been created an exception
al desire for homestead land in the
west The farmer again has abso-
lutely demonstrated his indepen-
dence and while there is an apparent
unrest in other professions, which is
to be sure unwarranted, the farmer
above all has before him a season
of unbounded prosperity. Whether
or not the sudden rise in foodstuffs
is arbitrary or is the natural result
of economic conditions, the fact re-
mains that people realize more than
ever the tiller Of the soil is assured
of an abundant living in any crisis.
1T seems as though We are unable
to make enough farms" said Albert
v Leonard, settlement agent of the
reclamation service in the federal
building yesterday. We are hurry
ing the work as rapidly as possible
and believe the continuance Of
war in Europe with the consequent
prosperity of the farmer in America
will create a large demand for good
homestead land. We have available
at this time upwards of 200 desir-
able farms in the ShoShone project

Handy Estimates

To find the number of gallons of
water In cistern or tank:
If rectangular, multiply the three
dimensions, in feet, together and
multiply the result by ~.
If cylindrical, multiply the square
Of the radius of the base by 3I416
and that result by 7hs.
To find the number OF bushels in
a bin:
Multiply the three dimensions, in
feet, together and divide the result
by IA,
To find the number of bushels of
sheiled corn equivalent to given
number of bushels of corn in the ear
Divide the number of bushels of
corn in the ear by 2
To find the converse of the above
estimates, reverse the process
In measuring grain seeds, or small
fruits, the measure must be stricken,
(even full)
In measuring corn in the ear,
coarse vegetables or large fruits, the
measure should be heaped about
six inches.
The standard gallon of the United
States contains 231 cubic inches

The standard bushel of the United
