Irritation in Euypt.

The Egyptian ministry of public
works, which has been experimenting
In cotton raising during the past ten
years in the Gezia region in the Sudan,
has issued an optimistic report to the
effect that it will be possible to do
better than double the yield of cotton
in the Nile Delta by means of a sys-
TEN of dams for irrigation in connec-
ton with the White Nile and tie Blue
Nile.
Vast quantities of water have been
stored already, and during the past 30
years nearly a million acres Of en-
tirely new land have been added to
the taxable soil of the country. 1t is
estimated that in this newly explored
region about 100000 acres Of land
could be made capable of growing cot
ton. This, as a matter Of fact, would
give more land than is now planted
with cotton in Egypt. Irrigation
works are now being constructed, and
a plot of 10000 acres is being treated.

Editor Edwards of Denton is sur

county tax roles has given him the ex.
act Information. Thus he expresses
his surprise: Judging from the tax
assessors report. Denton county dogs
per capita are much more valuable
than Denton county hogs. The 1913
hogs In the county are valued at $751;.
100, while the 75 dogs-didnt you
think there were more dogs than tina,
In the county?-are valued at s2,155.
The hogs. In other words. are worth
approximately Sc apiece. while the
dogs are worth almost $50 each. II
isn't. OF course. to be expected that
the goats should be anywhere close to
the value Of dogs. and the al goats.
valued at $780, are worth almost $1,000
less than the rs dogs. Goats are val.
ued at a little more than dollar each.

cause of his cruelty, feverishly awaits
the moment when he can rush to her
and beg forgiveness.
When the first joy of the holiday is
over, each likes to test the other, in
order to discover what kind of life
marriage will prove for them. No
doubt Dick has made up his mind to
be master. Dorothea may have de-
cided not to be under her husbands
thumb. So Dicks experiments are
not likely to be a success.
Long holidays in the engagement
stage are always dangerous. A thous-
and opportunities for quarreling arise.
Dick favors bathing, Dorothea
doesn't; he prefers long walks, she
likes chair on the piazza. They are
too much alone-too much tied to one
another. They wonder why they get
bored, and think it is because they
are not suited to one another.
Really, the married states is the,
best state in which to start long
holiday together. You get used to
little squabbles when it is too late to
break the tie. You find that they are
the necessary outcome Of two ma
lures that differ little. All natures
differ and are bound to clash some
where.
Try weekend holiday, and never
exceed that period until after the hon
eymoon.
