There are people who take life too

It aids digestion and 80 tends to good
health. 1t prolonges life. Laughter
often settles disagreement and pre-
vents real troubles. Hard working
business and professional men some
times forget to laugh. The strain Of
work grips them hard, and they get

SOFT DRINK DEALERS
TO PAY SMALL FEE
City Council Considers Ordi-
nance to Deal Effectively
with Bo0tlegging

Unless the city council changes its
mind before the next regular meet
ing it. will be q misdemeanor to sell,
barter, exchange or purvey fizz water,
lemonade, grape juice and other nom
kicking beverages within the city linn
its without a license. An ordinance
given its first and second readings on
Tuesday evening calls for an annual
license fee of $3.50 per year.
Obviously the intent of the ordin-
ance is not to raise revenue, the OBJ
ject Of its passage being to give the
city an effective method Of coping
with any illicit sales of intoxicants
at any Of the soft drink counters. The
real essence Of the ordinance is in
provision which renders null and void
the license where the licensee is found
guilty of violating any of the provis-
ions Of the city or state prohibition
laws.
Enforcement of the ordinance will
mean that instead Of "bootleggers"
being arrested and fined under the
prohibition law and then turned loose
to continue illicit selling, their Ii
censes will be revoked and their
place Of business closed.

ASK MORE WATER
AT REDUCED RATE
Continued from first page)

low and some above the canal and the
waterusers are contending that the
lands lying under the canal should
stand their just proportion Of the an
nual cost. These lands, however, are
no longer owned by the two defendant
companies and the records show that
they were sold to the Agathon Land
company free and clear of any water
rights.
The compliments further allege
that the monies collected by the COM
pany from the sale of water rights
and annual maintenance instead of
being expended on the upkeep and i'm
provement of the irrigation system
were disbursed in unreasonably high
salaries and expensive advertising
campaigns. As a result the canal is
in such a state of neglect that more
than fifty percent of the normal vol
ume of water at the intake is lost thru
seepage. It is their claim that if the
canal were put in good repair it would
be possible to irrigate an acreage suf-
ficiently large to reduce the annual
maintenance to even less than 81 per
acre were the actual operating and
maintenance costs distributed over
the entire acreage.
The question then which has been
put to the commission to decide is
whether or not the company under the
terms of the original contracts can
Justly make the now small acreage
under cultivation stand the entire cost
of operation and maintenance and
whether the items of interest, taxes,
depreciation, etc., can be included as
part of the annual cost.
A mass of testimony was introduce
ed at the hearing which lasted from
Monday forenoon until Wednesday at
ternoon. The reports Of three engin-
GERS setting forth the original invest
ment Of the company, the capacity of
the irrigation system and the cost of
reproduction were introduced as evil
dence. Fred S. Burroughs, of Spo-
kane, reported for the waterusers,
Henry L. Gray for the companies and
O. T.. McCurrach for the commission.
Although these experts differed some
what as to details their figures on the
cost Of reproduction were essentially
the same. o. L. Hanson, of North
Yakima, formerly superintendent for
the N. =. I. company Of this city, re-
ported 1oi the waterusers the results
Of an Investigation Of the irrigation
system as it nows stands.

AN EXPERIMENT WITH TROUT

The raising of trout has so long
absorbed deeply the interest of sports
men that anything new in this par
ticular line is worthy of extended
comment. An unusual experiment
along this lire is being tried out by
the Sen Francisco Fly Casting Club.
Instead of stocking the streams with
trout fry as is the usual method, the
plan of maintaining the fish until they
have attained length of ten inches
is being tried. 1t has been found
that of the thousands of fry that are
turned loose, large proportion be-
come the prey of larger fish. BY keep
ing, the fish until they are large
enough to look after themselves, it is
believed that a much larger percent
age will reach maturity. For the
past nine months the club has been
experimenting on 100000 trout raised
from fry furnished by the Fish and
Game Commission. These trout have
been reared and fed under the direc-
tion of an expert keeper at the clubs
expense. By next November these
fish will have attained length of
ten inches, and it is planned to throw
them in at various points along the
course of the Truckee. 1t is said
that the project of raising the trout
in water conditions similar to those
in which they must live until such
time as they are able to take care of
themselves has never before been at
tempted in California, and the result
is being watched with much interest
by all sportsmen. The fry are first
placed in rearing ponds, where they
remain for six months. They then
are transferred to section of the riv-
err which has been damned off and
is well protected. Here they are kept
until of sufficient size to liberate. By
tagging the fish it is hoped to deter
mine positively many interesting
questions concerning their habits, and
trout fishermen believe they will gain
many valuable pointers in this way.
To those of our summer tourist who
hit the tall and uncut in the noun
tains of Colorado, it may be inter
esting to you to learn that the fish
commissioners have just placed IA
600 brook trout in the streams of that
state.
Three hundred thousand salmon
were planted at the same time.

HELPFUL HINTS TO MOTORISTS

When washing out filter, such as
an oil filter, care should be taken to
pass the gasoline or other washing
fluid through the wire gauze in the
direction opposite to the normal flow
of oil through the device. The reason
for this is that if gasoline is passed
through in the same direction as the
oil it will probably leave particles of
fluff or other substances that might
have been caught, sticking just where
they We're, while washing in the op-
posite direction would dislodge them.

FINANCIAL PREPAREDNESS Or AMERICA
AS COMPARED TO THAT Of GERMANY

WASHINGTON-With her wealth
the greatest of any nation in the world
and her national debt less than that of
any belligeernnt power, the United
States stands in state of adequate
financial preparedness for long war.
In this connection financiers who
have studied the European struggle
predict that the nation which can
throw the last hundred million dollars
into the balance will win the war.
At the outbreak of the European
war, the United States occupied an
enviable position so far as wealth
and national debt were concerned.
Today her position is enormously
stronger because while the European
belligerents have been burdening
themselves with war loans, the United
States has been free from the life
sapping influence of increasing debt,
The European war has caused the
belligerents to add about $33, 900, 900
600 to their national Indebtedness,
so in the race of financial supremacy,
the United States has a $33, ,000,-
400 handicap in her favor in addition
to the lead she held at the beginning
of the struggle, Should this country
he plunged into the war, she will
prove the nation able to throw the
last hundred million into the balance
Following is a comparison of the
wealth and Indebtedness of the United
States and other nations:
