NEARING THE END
Kansas Colorado Water Suit Likely to
BE Compromised

The long drawn out litigation over the
rights to water for irrigation in the
Arkansas valley bids fair to be settled
within short time, the Kansas ditch
owners having submitted proposition
to sign over their alleged rights for the
sum of SAT, 700.
The various ditch companies of the
valley have called meetings of their
stockholders and water users for the
purpose of voting on the proposition of
voting assessments to raise the neces-
sary sum to stop the litigation and clear
the last vestige of cloud to their wat
er titles. Several of the ditch companies
have already voted favorably on the
proposition.
The stipulated price Of peace looks
like considerable sum to be mulcted
of, but when it is considered that the
cost of carrying on the litigation indie
tinitely through all the courts would
be several times that amount and the
ultimate always problematical, it ap-
pears to be much better to settle in this
way. The cost. when distributed, we
understand will be about 50 cents per
acre.

A Tribute

Instead Of presenting formal resolutions,
the Woman's Club uses this informal
method of paying tribute to uhe memory
Of Miss M. E. Meyers, She was "one of
those few women to know whom was to
know the best there is in all THE faulty
world" Her ideals were high; she hated
with all her soul anything that sayored
Of sham or hypocrisy. She was friend
to the poor and helpless, and no sacrifice
of tina, money or strength was too great
for her to make in their bshalf. She has
gone through heat and cold. snow and
rain minist9ring to the needy when her
own health needed attention. Her great
heart went ou; in peculiar tenderness to
the young. and many an hour has sire
spent in their guidance and instruction,
and in protecting them from the snares
and pitfalls around them.
Planning and working in the public
library of which she was an efficient
officer was to her labor of love. A7y-
thing she could do for the "kiddies" as she
tenderIy called them, was joyful service
to her. For their banefit she framed and
arranged, TWO groups Of pictures OF her
beloved Colorado wild flowers on the
library walls; she placed there the state
flag, and notices to encourage prtrictism.
1t was she VINO inaugurated the story
telling hour at the library. and provided
a story teller for every Saturday after
noon.
With all this, her professional work was
not sighted. The superintendent of the
Postal Telegraph Company stated here
on the day OF her funeral. that in the
seventeen years of her service in this busy
town, not one error had been found iu her
work and that never had one of her re-
ports been returned for corrections
most remarkable record.
As woman. Miss Meyers was capable
clear-sighted, leyel-neaded; as citizen
she was patriotic, honest, broad-minded,
as a, friend, there was no limit to her
loyalty. and devotion.
She,rests from her labors, and her works
do follow her.

And young girls to whom romance is

And young men who are just beginning

"DiOgenes in Search of ar
Honest Man. - BY
Hazel Wilson

About four hundred years before the
birth of Christ there was a man by the
name of Diogenes. He did not believe in
Sunday schools, music or preaching. He
did not believe in even necessities. He
had q bowl out of which he drank.
He saw boy drink out Of the hollow
Of his hand and he thought that if the
boy could do without he could.
One day Diogenes was out In day
light. He was carrying an old fashion
ed lamp. Some men laughed and made
fun of him. There was one man that
felt sorry for him. The people asked
him what he was searching for end he
told them he was searching for an
honest man. s.G
One day Alexander the Great came
to see Diogenes. BY wanting to start a
conversation he said Il am Alexander
the King" and Diogenes said II am
Diogenes the Cynic." AS the king was
about to go he said Gould do any
thing for you" and Diogenes said Yes

The Story of a Beaver BY
Opal Starkey

The beaver Is the largest gnawing
animal in North America. He weighs
from thirty-five to forty pounds. his
body is about three feet long and he has
broad flat tail that helps him to swim.
He lives in the water and he builds his
house by the edge Of the lakes, dams
and ponds. He builds it rather low and
wide. 1t is made Of sticks and mud. He
has one dry place to sleep, and below
that his room runs into the water. He
is busy fellow as he gnaws off logs
and builds dams with logs and mud.
He builds dams so the water will be In
the lower part Of his house, as 1t runs
low sometimes. He is very sensible
about building the dams. He can gnaW
through trunks Of trees six to twelve
inches in diameter. When the tree falls,
he cuts 1t into six feet or ten feet
lengths He drags these down the
stream to where he wants to build the
dam, straight across but If it is wide he
curves it up stream as that makes 1t
stronger He eats the bark Of trees and
the roots Of pond lilies. His fur is very
valuable. This is my school compost
ton.

Dorothy Dickerson's School
Composition - An
Indian Boy

long, long time ago when the Ind
ians lived here there was a little boy
named Nick Wilson, and his parents
There was an Indian who had little
boy named Panshaw. Nick had to herd
sheep and Panshaw helped him herd his
sheep Panshaw had helped Nick herd
the sheep so long that Nick learned to
speak Indian talk Nearly every day
Panshaw's mother came up where they
were. After a while Panshaw died and
then Nick had to herd the sheep alone.
Panshaw's mother dreamed that she
had little white papoose. so that made
where Nick was herdng his sheep and
was talking to him and she was sur
priced because he had learned to talk
like her. So the next = day lot OF
Shoshones came up and told Nick if he
would come and live with Nick's
mother they would give him a pony.
They had the pony with them. They let
Nick ride. So Nick wanted it. They
said they would give him it If he would
come and live with them. They gave
him two days TO think whether he
would go. But every day they came up
there they asked him. The second day
he said yes. that he would go. He
went and he got the pony and he got all
he wanted. He played with the little
papooses. He stayed with the Indians
for two years. .s-
