dam on Oct. II, he will bring in
100000 acres of fertile lands in the
chain of valleys in New Mexico, Texas
and Old Mexico. The first meeting of
the 23rd International Irrigation Con-
gress will be held at the dam dedi.
cation and followed by sessions in FL
Paso oct. 16, II and IS. e
The Elephant Butte dam Is mass
of concrete and steel thrown across
the Rio Grande on the desert of New
Mexico at the point where a great
rock, formed like the head and body
of a mastadonic elephant, seems to
drink from the Rio Grande. This
giant impounding dam has formed the
largest irrigation reservoir in the
world. More than 40 miles in length
and miles across, the lake stores
the melted SHOWS of the Rocky mcun-
tains and these life giving waters are
allowed to flow through the spillways
of the dam when the land needs mois-
| ture for the growing season, thus
causing the desert acres below the
dam to blossom and bear fruitage.
"The dedication of the Elephant
Butte dam by President Wilson on
Oct. If will be an event of world
wide Importance in the irrigation
field" states James G. McNary, presi.
dent of the First National bank OF Ell
Paso and chairman of the board Of
control of the irrigation congress. 1T
will mark the reclamation services
greatest achievement. 1t will reward
the pioneer men and women of the
lower Rio Grande valleys from Albu-
Querque to Old Mexico, and il will
Justify the faith OF the people of the
southwest who have staked their all
on the fertility of the soil and the
ability of the project to carry the
waters to the lands when most need
edi Above all, it will be a perpetual
monument to the irrigation congress,
which has been conducting a great
empire building campaign for he past
twenty-five years.

members of his official family, inciud-
ing Hon. Franklin X. Lane, secretary
of the interior, and probably other
members of his cabinet; Hon. A, 4.

Then came to him the mother of
Zebedee's children with her sons, wor-
shipping him, and desiring a certain
thing of him.
And he said unto her, what wilt
thou? She saith unto him, Grant that
these my two sons may sit, the one
on thy right hand, and the other on
the left, in thy kingdom.
But Jesus answered and said, Ye
know not what ye ask Are ye able
to drink of the cup that l shall drink
OF, and to be baptized with the bap-
tism that l am baptized with? They
say unto him, We are able.
And he saith unto them, Ye shall
drink indeed of my cup, and be bap'
tized with the baptism that | am bap'
tized with: but to sit on my right
hand, and on my left, is not mine to
give, but it shall be given to them
for whom it is prepared of my Father
And when the ten heard it, they
were moved with indignation against
the two brethren.
But Jesus called them unto him

Since the rumors of war have gone
abroad, and many men have gone to
the border, train loads of soldiers
passing through towns have never
lacked for an audience composed of
rattle-brained females, some of whom
are old enough to know better, who
hang about the depots and gather up

diers in passing
Not all of the girls of the towns
do this, any more than are all women
attracted by brass buttons, but there
are some who do. and by so doing
reflect little credit on themselves.
Some years ago, Richard p. Hobson,
politician and at that time sol
der, made an ineffective attempt to
block certain channel to the en-
emys ships by sinking a boat across
said channel He did no more than
his duty called for, and somehow a
hysterical woman planted a kiss on
his manly map, and started fool
wave all over the country.
Lacking decency enough to stop
where he was, Hobson started out in
kissing hundreds of silly females who
nocked around him. and although this
same Ilobson is still more or less in
the political limeight, there are real
men who have not forgotten the In

And now comes an exchange with
an item about an Oklahoma girl who
recently while hanging around the de
pot to see the soldiers go by and flirt
with a strange man in uniform, picked
up a note dropped out Of one Of the
cars, and became Immediately fired
up by the alluring lines therein. A
correspondence started. but alas the
girl learned later that the writer of
the note was "cullud gemman."
If the girl had been of dark skin

but she was not So there YOU are.
There are plenty of men whom girls

Carter County Roads a Shame.

People of this county who have oc-
casion to use the various roads in
the county, know full well their wretch
ed condition, but it Us only when they
go beyond the confines of this county
and visit neighboring counties, that
they realize the truly awful state of
! the roads in their own county
Every time the writer has occas-
ion to cross the boundaries Of Carter
county, and enter nefghboring count
les, he almost looks with shame at
the contrast he finds.
What is the matter with Carter
county officials? This county has
the reputation of being about the
third or fourth in the state in the
number Of motor vehicles and is also
third or fourth in the amount of
gross-productio tax paid from oil
produced within its boundaries One
half of the taxes or automobiles is
returnable to the county of origin
for use on good roads, and third
of the gross production tax is also
rcturnable to the county, from
whence it came This county is also
high in taxable valuations. In the
face of all these conditions, one would
naturally expect to find roads that
would be a credit to the county and
a pleasure to the traveller, instead of
ones that are a disgrace to the com
munity and a source of danger, veX-
atious delay, and expense to traffic.
Why is it that Love and Marshall
counties, two of the smallest counties
in the state, with a minimum of tax
able valuation and scarcely one car
to ten in this county, have roads that
are a pleasure and delight to the
travellers. The main roads of these
counties are well graded, and drag
}ged after every rain, at the expense
of the county, while much of the
work done on Carter county roads
has been done, by making of volun-
tary subscriptions on the part of tax
payers, who have already paid for
their upkeep through direct taxation,
automobile license, and gross produc-
tion tax.
1t is a shame that Carter county,
with one of the biggest oil fields of
the world within its borders. with
over one thousand automobiles, and
with an abundance of the best road
materials to be found in the state, has
to bear the odium of having the worst
and most neglected roads to be found
in Oklahoma

A CHINESE BAND.

OF course Ardmore should have a
band and doubtless will have a good
one before very long. Ardmore has
many boosters for band. Among the
boosters aforementioned is George
George is a Chinese by birth, and
American by adoption. and one of
Ardmore's leading restaurant men.
Geroge is always a booster, and be
lieves that Ardmore should have a.
big brass band right now. He sug-
gests that if the chamber of com
merce does not get busy soon as
there are six Chinese countrymen of
his working in his restaurant, that he
will organize a Chinese band.
This should cause the chamber of
commerce to get busy at once, for, as
the citizens of Ardmore have in a
measure recovered from the shock Of
the disaster a year ago, much damage
might be done to nerves should
George and his band begin suddenly
playing the overture from Xcghismb-
beorh.
Let us have an American band at
once. Thanks, George, for the offer
however.
