Ownsrship of Dessrts.

The national government virtually
owns all our deserts, although IN Texas
the state owns all the public lands. 1t
Is probable that eventually the desert
lands will pass from public ownership
into the hands Of private owners by
allotment Of areas, the size Of which
will be relative to their productiveness.
For 1t must be realized that whereas In
q we'll watered region five acres may
be enough to support family, any
where from 500 to 10000 acres may be
needed to support family In the des-
ert. 1t is all a matter Of water supply,
for water is primarily the basis Of land
utility and value, as 1t Is the prime
means Of subsistence Of all living
things, whether plants or animals.-

Tbe Basis of Thankfulness.

The unqualified acceptance OF life'
with all its mystery and pain, all Its
labor and WEAKNESS and yet with all
its sweetness and JOY and all its latent
potentiality-that Is and forever must
be the basis Of true gratitude, the one
great theme for thanks. Unless you
are grateful for life itself you cannot
be truly glad for anything that life
contains. But being grateful for life
itself adds a tinge Of celestial glory to
every simple blessing and makes today
akin to the vast forever.
