IRRIGATION PROJECTS RETURNS
UNSATISFACTORY TO UNITED
STATES GOVERNMENT.
INTERESTING NEWS OF STATE
Nort:, Dakota Events Of Past Few
DAYS Selected and Edited for It's
Convenience Of Our
Readers.

Bismarck.-The proposal of the fed
eral government to abandon the irriga-
ton project at Williston has aroused
great interest all over North Dakota.
1t is the only project that has been at
tempted in the state and the people
feel there should be a more extended
trial. The excessive cost of operation
is the serious feature. Instead of max
ing a fixed charge for the use of the
water the government has contended
the charges should be prorated in Or
der to guarantee that the project
should be selfsupporting. This has
prevented many farmers from using
the water who would have done so
on a basis of fixed charges.
The attitude of the government ap-
pears to be that it is better to aban-
don the project entirely and lose what
has been put in rather than to con-
tinue it's operation in view of a certain
loss. The farmers contend that If the
plant is operated on fixed basis that
in a few years the number of water
users will be so increased that the
project will be selfsupportins

SYSTEM TO AID FARMERS.
Federal Reserve Banks Explained by
Secretary McAdoo, Before Large
Audience at Fargo.

Fargo.-In an address here to 1000
persons in the auditorium OF the Ma
sonic temple, William G. McAdoo, Sec
rotary of the Treasury, explained the
Federal reserve system, saying that
he believed it would be one of the
greatest things that has ever been pro-
mulgated, making it possible for the
farmer to hold his crop and sell to
the greatest advantage.
"For the first time in the history OF
this country the farmer is given the
same privileges as the others have en-
joyed of marketing with regard to the
law of supply and demand by being
able to borrow money on his grain and
hold it," said the speaker.
Hundreds of people were turned
away from the hall, although the htou-
sands who were here were give n an
opportunity to meet Secretary and
Mrs. McAdpo and Assistant Secretary
Newton in reception at the Gardner
hotel from 4 to p. M. and at ban

This is q recent discovery Of Doctor
Pierce, who is head Of the Invalid's
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierces
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms OF
nflammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or If uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
ly "Anuric" acts. The best Of results are
always obtained in cases of acute
rheumatism in the Joints. in gravel
and govt, and invariably the pains and
stiffness which so frequently and per-
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.

HE was delicate child, but has de-

Il used to read the Postum adver-
tisements in our paper. At first gave
but little attention to them, but finally
something in one of the advertise
ments made me conclude to try Pos
tum.
Il was very particular to have it
prepared strictly according to direc-
lions, and used good, rich cream. It
was very nice indeed, and about bed
time l said to the members of the fam
lily that I believed I felt better. One
of them laughed and said, That's an

Postum, and now after three years

Young Doctor-Find what she really
needs and prescribe it.
