Status of Water Contracts Still Undecided. But Pay Inents Are Being Re ccived- Expect Definite Word from Denver Soon

With October 1 only a few days off, the uncertainty in the status of water rent contracts at the reclamation ser vice has become acute, and Chief Clerk Mead has wired the Denver office to hurry up it's decision, requested in pre- Vious letters.

The Advertisement of Advertising

Ii is said that the children of the shoemaker are the last to be shod the children of the tailor be clad. It is, therefore, in keeping with the inverted of things that men who deal in advertising the last to advertise their wares to the public though they have been fairly industrious in bringing them the attention of advertisers.
 The neglect of publicity for advertising subject for consideration meeting of the execr- tive committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World Indianapolis day before yesterday, and it was recommended that the club give this matter the attention it deserves. and erroneous impression from the public mind.
 The error of the impression is found in the fact that it is incomplete The citizen understands that advertising is an item expense in the conduct of business like rent, taxes. clerk hire, etc. all of which the public pay. so far, the citizen is well informed also apparently clear that if the merchant can keep down his expense, he afford to sell his goods cheaper. But here begins to creep The citizen fails to distinguish between profitable and needless expense.

THE DONKEY
By George Fitch

The donkey is a small, furry parody on d horse.
 He is strong an1 willing, but not handsome Even after a donkey has been gone over carefully with a safety razor and trimmed in the latest style he is not much to look at He is taken less seriously than almost any other beast. Men who have earned $3,000 a year all their lives and have poked the said $3,000 down their thro2ts with great industry until they are purple in the neck and as bulbous at the waist as a bulbous pear, laugh gaily when they see a donkey and make scathing com ments on his looks
 The donkey does not resent this. He does not resent anything. He is the worst abused beast of burden in the world. In lands where the donkey is the principal means of transportation, his owner piles goods on him until his legs begin to bend and then encour- ages him to climb mountains by beat ing him with fence rail-
 This is because of his theory of non resistance The donkey never objects. He has heen following a peace policy by himself for over 6.OOO years. This
 
 tate to grab his donkey by the tail and get free ride up a hill so steep that the sidewalks have rungs on them. He knows the salient difference between a donkey and mule. The mule does not cruise around the country biting un- offending citizens but nobody pulls his tail or steps on his corns. Sometimes in these trying days when we are pestered with submarines abroad and disarmament leagues at homo it almost seems as if the donkey should be made the national bird of America
 The donkey is not only a much abused beast, but he has the reputation of being tho biggest fool in the animal kingdom. This is not because of what he does. but what he says. The donkey doesn't know enough to keep his mouth shut.
 When he brays he sounds like all the combined iEnorances of the world hold ing a mass meeting.

Ripping Rhymes
THE FAILURE
By Walt Mason

One fellow fails in life's great busy game, because his rags hang shape less on his frame; his trousers bag around his spavined knees his wnisN- CTS shelter hummingbir1s and bees. His hair, unshlngled, forms an ugly wreath, his shoes are brown, he doesn't clean his teetl: he always looks as though he'd been asleep in some straw stack or ancient rubbish heGp. To get a job he ambles down the earth, explaining that he's long on sterling worth. Give me a chance" all eagerly he pleads, judge not my rags, hut judge me by my deeds. I'll cut more wood, and keep more bucksaw's warm, than any dude who is the mould of form" But people judge by how a man appears: they view the whiskers that conceal his ears the tangled hair that forms measly rug the shirtfrOnt stained with juice of navy plug, the coat that needs a soak ing in the brook, the trouseroons that like twin corckscrews look, and they exclaim, Get hencei Skedaddle Shoo, We have no place for such a bo as you." True worth may dwell in care less, slouchy chaps, but they must car ry heavy handicaps.
