You did not recognize anyone and
would not talk. but that often happens
to women who have some great shock
after giving birth to a child. but you
are all right now"
Yes. darling. you are ali right now"
said Dick, as he rushed in and took
me in his arms. "Margie. don't leave
me again. l could not stand it. You
broke my heart when you would not
recognize your old husband. but now
that you're back it will be all right"
I put my arms about his neck and
pulled myself up until / could look il
his face. Dear old Dick" l said. as
much to myself as to him. And then
it came over me that It was his heart
that was beating quickly against
mine. I was glad to see him-glad TO
feel his arms about me. but my heart
was not beating any faster. All love
had gone out OF it with sonny.
But u baby is dead, Dick" I
whispered.
"Yes, poor girl. yes, I know It; but
we'll just have 10 make 1t up to each
other"
Nothing can make it up to me,
Dick"
But I'll do the best I can, Margie.
I told Eliene last night that you were
better and she told me to give you her
love and said she would come over
as soon as you could see anyone"
Il can't see her, Dick, don't let her
come"
Why, Margie," said Dick in sur.
prise, don't you love Eliene? You
will break her heart by refusing to see
her"
Let her come" 1 said. YEARLY.
Oh. sonny, nobody but your moth
er, dear, will remember for long. It
will be like sticking a knife into my
heart to see Eliene and know she is
so happy with her baby.

said I did not want to see Eliene and
answered It.
I'm all right, dear, but just now
the sight OF Eliene's happiness in her
daughter seems almost more than |

he kissed me.

Il must have interfered a lot with

Dick, my dear, has been with yor
all the time. Mr.. Selwin has been
very kind indeed and told Dick to lei

the water becomes by this use OF the

 Naturally, all these annual reports, dating back to the very beginning, will be carefully scrutinized," to ascertain the cause of all this juggling with fig ures; why all this "robbing Peter to pay Paul." why one year there is one statement on certain items of cost, and another and different statement the next year That's what the board of cost review is here for, but if the local records are incomplete, and if the To- cal force can't clear the whole thing up. let's send to Denver and Wash ington; get the records from those offices as vel as some of the "big guineas" or peacocks, and see what they have to say about why all these things are thus.

REV. RICHARD w. CHAMBERLIN

Iris said, Death loves shining mark In him it found a prize AS ceased the vital spark,
 He entered mansions in the skies. Twas not for olng we had him here To cheer our hearts and guide our
 feet; Perform the part of seer, And toll to golden harvests reap; Twas not for long we had him here To learn his worth and feel That he was made of better stuff Than those of common veal. He loved to preach the gospel truth And dwell on Christian love, And work for children, too, forsooth, That he might guide their steps
 above. Well done, dear friend, thy tasks are
 OCT
 Amid the scenes of earth, But we believe, on wonder shore, They have a fuller birth. Thou hast outstripped our hast'ning
 feet,
 To test the glory world, And fully prove our Lord complete Among the streets of gold. Goodbye, for now, until we meet Mid changeless scenes above, Until we meet at Jesus feet And test redeeming love. Goodbye, goodbye, thy manly form Has found it's needed rest; No more will feel earth's woe or storm But peace, for God knows best"

ARE YOU A MUDHOLE
 DAIRYMAN?

The dairy COW which is now of considerable import ance in Yuma valley, and for which there is a constant growing demand, should have special attention for the next four months. In the past there has not been sufficient attention paid to the sur roundings required in order to secure the maximum pro- duction of milk, states Prof. c. w. Barnes, livestock spe- cialist of the U. of A. agricul- tural experiment station.
 The COWS have been com pelled day after day to drink from a contaminated mud hole until they have been robbed of their vitality, their health, and of the food neces- sary for milk production. The result has been a de- crease in milk flow. For the dairy COW to produce milk re- quires large quantities of pure drinking water, and she cannot secure this when she is compelled to drink from some filthy mud-hole. Re- member that milk production and pure water go hand in hand; if you do not have this on your place, do not waste your time by wondering why your neighbor across the road has an average yield of milk per cow of 5000 pounds per year, While on your farm the yield is only 5000 pounds per head. :.
 The man who makes a suc- cess in dairying, as in other industries, is the one who keeps his machinery in first class condition. Did you evsT stop to wonder why it costs one man about six times as to produce milk as his neighbor? But there is noth- ing remarkable about this difference in cost, when we consider the difference in judgment, executive ability and kind of COWS used. Obso- lete methods combined with the mud-hole would increase the cost of production from the best COWS on earth.

to the people, and to condemn it, for the general good of the U. s. R. S., if the facts so

warrant.
 That the board will carefully scru tinize every item of cost" as Secretary Lane has instructed, there can be nc doubt. In so doing, Chairman Fleming and MT. Baldwin will prove invaluable as members of the board, for both o them are eminently qualified to pass judgment on the various phases of en gineering and construction charged III against the project, while MT. Teas dale's alertness, and general knowl edge of contracting and excavating renders him a most valuable man foI the land owners and water users.
 When it comes to the question oi determining whether or not too much has been charged against the project because of MT. Sellew's wastefulness all three of the members of the board are amply qualified. They are all eX perts on figures and when they get right down to brass tacks,' it won't take them long to discover the "whys and wherefores" for the tremendous amount of juggling that seems to have been indulged in, as pointed out spe officially in yesterdays Examiner
 It wont take these three juror-judges very long to turn to page 66, '12th an nuaI report of the Reclamation Ser vice." and closely scrutinize" the item ized statement thereon, which was transmitted officially to Speaker Champ Clark of the national house of representatives. This is such a re- markable report, showing the utter in, efficiency of at least some of the "higher-ups" that I reproduce it in full. Read it:

 forward for the sun-tintS of tomorrow-to hope for a bet ter day. Remove those ele- mentS of uncertainty, and life would indeed be burdenSome!
 That's the way the Yuma project board of cost review strikes me. l have anticipat- ed that it will do great things for the general betterment of land owners and water users; l am looking forward to pros porous and happy times when the board shall have renv-,> ed it's verdict, and 1 most sim cerely hope that the better days will soon come for every entryman, land owner and water user of Yuma project.
 lt ought to be more than gratifying to those who are deeply concerned in Yuma project affairs to know that the Reclamation member of the board, Ernest Hunt Bald win, is exactly as antici- pated he would be-he is fair and juStl Many have been of the opinion that he was placed on the board for the avowed purpose of contend ing that everything that has been done on the Yuma pro- ject was right, whether or not 1t was right or wrong. Such is by no means the case. Il am thoroughly convinced of this fact by the broad-mind- ed, liberal stand MT. Baldwin has assumed in the prelimi- nary or informal meetings of the board. 1 am morally cer- tain that he intends to do full | justice to the subject now de- manding his attention. If he continues along those lines, then indeed will he have prov en to be just as 1 anticipated, when his name was first men, toned in connection with | the board.
 Occupying the high official position in the U. s. R. s. that he does, second only to Chief Williamson, in charge of con- Struction, it can be taken for granted that he is in exact ac- cord with Secretary Lanes general policy, and that is GO TO THE VERY BOTTOM in this investigation; to up- hold the local service when that can be done in fairness
