Flooding Roads

Editor Grat-Advocate:-As the irri-
cation season is now on, we are again
confronted with the problem of saving
the public roads and highways from
damage done by allowing irrigation
water to flow in and upon the roads
by the farmers adjoining; it does not
only damage the roads, but renders
them inconvenient for travel, and
necessarily imposes heavy burden
upon the county to repair the damage
done. During the year 1914. Sedgwick
county has paid out for roads and
highways the sum of $9,6S4.49. and
during 1915, the sum of Sll, ,415.32
making total of S2l ,O99.8l for two
years. A considerable amount of this
expenditure was required to repair
roads and highways which had been
damaged by the negligence and care
lassnsss Of the farmers in allowing
their irrigation water to flow on the
roads; Notwithstanding the fact that
several cases were prosecuted for the
offcnse in 1914 under the law as it was
then defined in Section 5S26, Revised
Statutes 1908, and in each case con-
viction resulted, it seems that persons
are disposed to disregard the law, and
still continue it's violation.
The General Assembly, at it's last
session, passed special Act, approx
ed March 6, 1915. providing that:
"No person or persons, or corpor-
alton, shall wilfully or negligent
" cause or allow water to flow
from any ditch, lateral, canal,
waste ditch, reservoir, pond, drain.
flume. or artificial water course,
in or upon any public road or high
way so as to damage the same, or
to cause the same to be inconven
lent for travel
and provides penalty by fine of not
less than $1,000, nor more than $500. 90
for each offense, or imprisonment in
the county Jail not to exec edi1g three
months. And each day that water is
so allowed to flow upon any public
road or highway shall be deemed to be
separate offense. Acts 1915, p. 4o5.
From what can learn. it appears
that the farmers generally take the
ground that the Board of County
Commissioners must provide bitches
on each side of the public road or
highway. and also culverts to carry
off their waste water from irrigation,
and that where such roads or high
ways are not so provided, that the
farmers are not liable for the flooding
of the roads, etc. The purpose of this
communication is to correct such a
false impression among those who
use water for irrigation. The law does
not require the county to provide any
bitches or culverts for any such pur-
pose, but the law does provide speci-
fically that it is unlawful for any per-
son or persons to run through his or
their irrgating ditch any greater
quantity OF water than is absolutely
necessary for irrigating his or their
lard, and for domestic and stock pur-
poses. it being the intent and meaning
of the law to prevent the wasting and
useless discharge and running away of
water tRev. Statutes 1908, Sec 3239D.
And a penalty of not less than $4,000
fine is provided for the violation CT
this law-Sec. 3240. same statute

A Social Afternoon

One of the most pleasant social
affairs of the season was enjoyed
at the home of Mrs. W. II.
Winterbotham on Saturday after
noon. Mrs. Ratherburn and Miss
Galley of Columbus, Nebr.. who
are the guests of Mrs Winter
botham entertained about forty
ladies with a musical. Miss Galley
has a very sweet surE rano voice,
while Mrs Rathburn has Il con-
tralto of rare quality. They each
sang a number of solos and a
couple of duets:t hey were assisted
in the program by Miss Helen
RathbIrn and Miss Maude
Winterbothem. After the musi-
cal the ladies partook of a de-
licious tea which promoted a very
enjoyable social hour.
The Congregational aid are in
debtcd to Mrs. WinterbOtham and
her neices for a silver Offering of
$3.50. The guests of honor were
found to be such delightful people
to know, that the week is quite
taken up with social affairs in
their honor.

Patronize Home Stores.

Holiday time is nearly here and you
will want to purchase many things for
your friends and for the little folks.
That is the true spirit OF the holiday
season. 1t is glad. joyous, festive sea-
son, time when good will prevails all
over this earth for christian civiliza-
ton has fastened it's festoons from ev-
cry nook and corner of the sphere.
Where christianity goes the spirit of
Yuletide is born. Begin to think OF some
deserving or needy person to whom
your generosity should he spread.
The above will surely appeal to
ninety nine out OF every hundred. Then
why not resolve to make your pur-
chases OF the home merchants lest your
presents SAVIOR OF alienation? You will
show your home merchant the greatest
of courtesy and he can rest after hard
labor with the assurance that his ex-
istence in the community has at last
partially come into its own. He has
purchased many beautiful things as
well as useful articles he is going to
offer you, and he demands the earnest
inspection of all the shoppers. You
owe the home stores a visit of inspec-
ton before sending your money out Of
town to some merchant prince, filing
his Golfers, when in turn he cares
nothing farther about you and never
returns one cent of the investment to
better your surroundings or home con-
ditions. Your home is your blessed re-
sort and it can only be made better by
building up and helping its surround
ings. Let's get this motley 1916 senti-
ment garnered down to home condi-
tons. All will enjoy the holiday sea-
son more congenial. and all will save
money by so doing.

the schools are dismissed, boys and

For two thousand years all of the

This man was not born in a palace,

His mother had gone up to Bethlehem
of Judea and the inn was too crowded
to accommodate her, And when the
Babe was born, He was wrapped in
swaddling clothes and laid in a manager.
During His short life-t time of 33 years,
He did not sit on a throne, nor in halls
of state, nor did He associate with the
rich and the aristocratic of His day.

so often think Christmas burden and
wish the holiday season past? Why
should the sad and sorrowful look for
ward to 1t as a dread anniversary :?
This is the worst form of seifshness.
Christmas should be day OF self for
getfulnes and OF thinking of some one
else's life, and how 1t can be made
brighter. There is great deal of sad
ness and sorrow in all stations OF life
and few CHEEKY words. accompanied
by smile, give great announcement
and cost but little effort.
And the children. Does anyone ever
notice the wistful faces peering into
the fascinating shop windows at this
season, and remember that probably
this is their owners only glimpse Of
Christmas? That in their whole mis-
cradle existence never a penny has
been handled by them OF their very
own? Let the childless one and the
sorrowful one, as well as those who
daily take their walks abroad, think
of this, and each one in his own way
do his best to gladden. some life, and
by doing so feel by Christmas night
that there is something after all worth
doing and living for in this: old world,
and the New Year will be prepared for
by ending the old one well.
Where in all humanity is there great
er longing, dearer expectation, sweet
er hope than in the heart of child on
Christmas morn. But in all the earth
there is no look so sad, no sob so stab
bling as are called forth by the empty
stocking.
The best part Of the holiday season,
perhaps is the opportunity it gives for
home gatherings and the family re
unions that IN these busy days are all
too few. Many a young man finds
