IRRIGATE WITH LEAST WATER
s imple Appliance For Keeping
Irrigator Posted As To Under
ground Waters

In letter to the Fallon Eagle. re-
garding ground water levels in that
section, a correspondent suggests a
very simple and cheap appliance to
act as water gauge to keep the ir-
rigator posted as to underground
conditions. He says:
There is no doubt that many or
all water users would be interested
to know just what the ground water
is doing below their places as they
irrigate this Summer; many never
know that it may be within three feet
or even two feet of the surface of
their fields. The following simple
arrangements will tell them any day
and any time of the day just what
the ground water is doing.
With post hole auger dig a seven
inch hole to ground water level; case
this preferably with tight. light ven
tilating pipe. If something cheaper
is wanted, use old stove pipe or box
ing of 1x4 and Ike. With can or
other arrangement spoon out 3 or a
inchas of sand so giving free water
surface. Attach rod to float and
mark 0 opposite the top of the cas-
ing as the rod floats free, and then
mark the feet downward. An empty
corn can with a rod made of strips
sawed from a lath will make light
float that will probably last season.
| have such at present floating by
my yard hydrant in the Verplank
addition. The action will be that if
the water rises the float will raise
the rod out of the casing and sue
cessive readings of the rod will give
the exact changes that take place in
the water level. These might be
noted on board by well. If float was
near house well, changes could be
noted every day.
The probable rise of two feet or
more alongside fields at time of ir-
rigation would drive home the lesson
to us about five or six times a season
that it pays to irrigate with the very
least water possible. Air, not water.
is what is needed under the ground.
Border checks would probably in
crease very rapidly in popularity.
Irrigation is just starting; now
would be the time to install and
know what happens through the
whole season.

A Business Man

Congressman Brown, of the Oyster
Bay district in New York. was speak
inc of the Jewish instinct for strik-
ing a bargain and during the conver-

Jacob and Bernheim were JOINT
partners in the woolen cloth busl-
ness, Jacobs being the eastern sales
man for the firm. While travelling
in the East he was taken Ill and died,
The undertaken who took charge OF
the body wired Bernheim; jacobs

Popular Mechanics Magazine for
April says that few people realize
what an almost perfect condition pre-
walls along a large part of the great
wall of China. The bricks of the
parapet are as firm as ever, and their
edges have stood the severe climatic
conditions of north China with scarce
ly break. The paving along the
top of the wall is so smooth that one
may ride over it with bicycle, and
the great granite blocks with which
it is faced are smooth and as closely
fitted as when put in place over 1000
years ago. The entire length of this
wall is 14O0 miles. it is % feet high
and 20 feet in thickness. At inter-
walls of every 100 yards or so there
are towers some 40 feet in height.

HARD TO TRICK MODERN BOY
Cleveland Man Thought He Could Do
1t, But He Has Altered His Opinion
Somewhat

There are ways of doing things.
That is elementary and automatic
wisdom. and yet people are slow to
act upon it. Take the case of the
East Clevelander, who has garden
and small boy, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. This man said to his
wife the other day:
Emily, we aren't going to have
any sweet corn this season if we don't
take better care of it. | wish you
would persuade Robert to take a
morning from his baseball and swim
ming and get after that corn patch. >
Il tried to- sighed the mother
"but he just won't do it."
Tell him you'll give him a quarter
to do it,"
II did. said just yesterday,
Robert, if you'll cultivate that corn
and get all the weeds out of it by
noon I'll give you a quarter to put IN
your bank >"
"Oh pshaw! That's not the way
to do it! Call him in here and I'll
fix it. Robert, have you got any
sporting blood in you? Will you
take a small bet? I'll bet you a
quarter you can't get that corn hoed
before noon to-day
Il got you," says Robert. Then,
as look of triumph spreads over
his fathers face. he adds "Have
you got any sporting blood in you =
81 sure have. Robert"
''Then I'll bet you a half dollar
you win the bet. I'll be at the Of
flee this noon and collect" :"
The corn amt hoed yet.

ing accurate information of the
strength and location of the enemy
is concerned. Although our enlisted
men and marines had landed in con-
siderable force and held the city,
there was considerable uncertainty
as to number and position of the
enemy's forces outside the city.
Rumor had it that heavy reinforce
ments had been dispatched from var
ious points to Gen. Mas, who had
been in command at Vera Cruz, and
it was stated that he was making
ready for an attack on the city with
overwhelming numbers. Most i'm
portant was it that Admiral Fletcher
should be informed on this point and
learn what was the condition of the
railroad line from Vera Cruz to Mexi-
co and particularly of some important
bridges on that line. 1t was impos-
sible to spare sufficient officers and
men for an adequate reconnaissance,
and for while the situation ap-
peared to be somewhat critical.
Then there steamed into port the
Mississippi" and, shortly after her
arrival, the naval aeroplanes had as
cended and were making searching
reconnaissance of the outlying dis
tricts about Vera Cruz and along the
route of the railroad. The Mexican
forces, very limited in number, we're
located, and the whole military situ-
alton at and about Vera Cruz was
cleared up.
There is world of significance in
comparison of the situation at
these two ports in the West Indies
and the Gulf; and once more the
aeroplane has proved its inestimable
value as a means of obtaining de6-
mite knowledge of the strength and
position of the enemy.

Accommodating At Santiago
and At Vera Cruz

The events of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war are not so far removed but
most of us have a distinct recollec-
tion of the anxiety which was occa-
stoned by the dispatch of Cervera's
squadron of four armored cruisers
and some torpedo-boat destroyers
from Spanish to American waters.
ltwas known that Cervera had sailed; !;
but as to his destination there was,
even in our Navy, considerable doubt
and much resulting perplexity. AS
will alway be the case in hostilities
involving naval operations, our towns
and cities along the seaboard became
suddenly aware of the vast impor-
tance of navy and the timorous
property holders and municipalities
clamored loudly for the protection
of cruiser. battleship or something
that could shoot with big guns.
Meanwhile, when our scouts, impro-
vised and otherwise, were securing
the seas in search of the Spanish ad-
miral, he had slipped quietly into
Santiago harbor, where he lay snugly
screened from observation behind
the rather lofty hills which encircle
that anchorage.
Nor have so many years inter-
vened since that interesting episode
but most of US will recall the long
range observation of the entrance to
Santiago harbor by Admiral Schley,
and the many speculations INDUCED
in by himself, the public press, and
everybody else, as to whether the
Spanish ships were or were not hid
den inside the snug little harbor.
Vastly different are the conditions
16 years later at the port of Vera
Cruz, Mexico-different, that is to
say, so far as the question of obtain

4 new EXPLOSIVE IN WAR

A remarkable new explosive, called
trotol-gelantine. was recently tested
in warlike maneuvers near New York
with astonishing results The par
ticular feature of this explosive is
that while it has all the power of so
per cent dynamite, it can be burned
without exploding, and cannon
shot or bullet will not cause it to ex-
plode. 1t can be discharged only bv
means of a illuminate of mercury
cap.
Soldiers carrying sticks of this ex-
plosive, carried them right to the
works of supposed enemy, in this
case a stone wall. placed them on
the ground and retired. The explo-
sion which followed demolished the
wall. Three sticks of this wonderful
explosive lifted tree two feet in
diameter clear out of the ground.
1t is stated that these tests are
preliminary to adoption of the ex-
plosive by the Government and if
they meet with official approval it
will be brought into active use in
the event of operations in Mexico.
Dynamite is so treacherous in its
operations that military authorities
of all countries have adopted other
explosives for use in war. None of
these is entirely satisfactory. Tro-
tol-gelatine gives promise of proving
the thing for which this nation has
searched,

People Are Aroused
Sparks Tribune: When the next
Legislature convenes at Carson City
we are of the opinion that it will be
composed of a different stripe OF
men. From every indication the
people are aroused to the knowledge
that they must send men to the
Legislature that have the interests
of their community and the State at
heart. They are opposed to the car
pet baggers that have crawled into
the halls of late years and want men
that are truly interested in the State
of Nevada.

discussed by the Rev. Jasper T. Mo-
ses at the First Christian church Sun
day evening at O'Clock. This topic
which is attracting the attention of
Sc many local people, will be pre-
sented in both its general and local
aspects. The experiences of several
localities where federation has been
tried will be related, and the basis
of agreement used in these places
will be presented briefly.
1t is possible that at the close of
the service the recommendation of
the official board Ito federate with
another church or chrches If this is
found practicable and advisable" win
be presented to the congregation for
their action. At meeting of the
board of this church last Wednesday
evening the resolution referred to
was passed unanimously. 1t re
mains now to be seen what action
will be taken by the Presbyterian and
Congregational churches regarding
federation, if they come to an agree
ment; and If they invite the Christian
church or other churches to partici-
pate. 1t is hoped that If these con-
tingencies all work out favorably to
the federation idea, that the working
plan agreed upon can be considered
Sunday evening by the Christian CON
gregation.
The Sunday night service will be
the last evening sermon to be deliv-
cred here by the Rev. Jasper T.
Moses, though he will speak to his
congregation again Sunday morning,
