Wyoming and Colorado, DR.. Mead is
probably the best of all men to repre-
sent California on the Board of Re-
view. We shall lose none of our ripar-
ian rights while DR.. Mead has any
thing to say about them.
The toard will meet at Rock
Springs, Wyoming, an September IA.
and will proceed to study the entire
question of the utilization of the wat
ers of the Green and Colorado rivers.
Upon its findings may deepnd the fate
of the Imperial valley irrigators, but
with Mead as chairman the report can
hardly be adverse to the interests OF
California.

THE TWO KINGDOMS

Each man a kingdom may possess;
May play the monarch's role;
And his the kingdom is no less
Than that of mind and soul;
Each man, of course, must make his
own,
And therein must live, too,
And by his kingdom he is known
What kind, good sir, have you?
A poor mans kingdom rich may be;
A rich mans kingdom, poor;
And even through eternity
Some kingdoms may endure;
Their subjects are kind acts and deeds,
Good words, and heartthoughts true
What monarch better subjects needs
What kind. good sir, have you?
Some kingdoms which more pompus
are,
And full of brazen show,
Are emptier and poorer far
Than those that kindness know;
At last to dead sea fruit they turn;
Become as bitter rue,
Dead ashes in the funeral urn
What kind, good sir, have you?

PRIZES TO Be WON
BY COMMON COW,
COMPETITION

Common cows-just grade cows
are to have their chance to win fame.
OF the 1880 in cash or special prizes
offered in the Dairy Cow Competition
to be conducted by the University of
California from November /, 1916, on,
nearly half will be reserved for grade
or common cows, the rest being for
the pure breds, with special competi-
tons for pure-bred Jerseys and Guern-
seys and for pure-bred Holsteins.
Besides the unusual magnitude Of
the prize list, this dairy competition is
unusual in its competitions not only
for individual cows but for groups OF
i've to ten cows. and for production
for ten consecutive months instead of
for year.
The common or grade cows will
compete among themselves alone for
cash prizes of SO to $500 each aggre-
eating $500. In addition, nearly all
the special prizes, dairy apparatus,
bull calves, ETC., will be awarded for
production records by common cows.
Such competition will be particularly
valuable because grade cows make up
far the larger proportion of the dairy
herds of California Through this COM
petition farmers will be led to strive
for increased production from their
grade cows.
The eyes of California dairymen
will be opened to the great increase In
profits possible from wise selection
and better care and attention so as to
bring a herd to it's highest possible
production. Those competing will find
out that the net results from the dairy
depend much more on the kind of ami
mails kept than on the way they are
fed and handled, or than on the price
of butterfat or the cost of feeding.
To induce dairymen to find out for
themselves whether their herds are as
profitable as they ought to be is the
great object of the competition. The
reason why ten months is it's length
instead of one year-the period most
of the breed associations require-is
that it is desired to compete for a nor
NAL lacatation period of ten months,
so as not to upset the regular breed
ing of the cows. This avoids the risk
Of long dry period involved in milk
ing cows for full year for the max.
ing of high annual records. This ten
month competition will interfere in no
wise with the future usefulness of the
herd
Valuable as will the prizes be for
the winners, the College of Agricul-
ture feels that the competition will
prove of inestimable value to those al
so who win no prizes and to the whole
dairying industry of the state because
Of the stimulus it win prove to the
buildingup of better herds.
Entry blanks and copies of the rules
for the competition and of the prize
list may be obtained by writing to Pro-
fessor F. w. Vol at the University of
California Farm at Davis.

mine the irrigation possibilities of the
Green river, the largest feeder of the
Colorado.
The above dispatch brings to mind
the fact that the interests of Imperial
valley in the waters of the Green river
are very vital. Discussing the matter
Bailey Millard, editor of Orchard and
Farm, has written the following arti-
Gle:
Wyoming. Irrigation and California
Water
would you dream that an irrigation
project launched in faraway Wyoming
might vitality affect the irrigators of
large body of land in California? In
other words, would you think it were
possible for Wyoming farmers, nearly
1000 miles away, to divert water from
California orange groves, date fields
and melon patches?
Look at the map and study it a lit
tie. See where the Green river flows
down through Wyoming from the
Wind River mountains into Utah and
Colorado, back into Utah again, and
then see where it's emerald waters
that they are of that beauti-
full hue-join the Colorado river in
the Grand Canyon and 60 flowing
down through northwestern Arizona
and beside Southern California,
where, through big bitches, where
This geographical statement would
mean nothing in particular but for the
fact that Wyoming has set a move
ment on foot to canvass the possibili-
ties of the diversion of the water from
Green river for use in irrigating the
lands Of that state. Nor would it mean
much Of anything if the Green river
were not the big feeder of the Colora-
do, and. in fact, furnished the greater
part of the water in that river.
Now if Wyoming should undertake
to retain and monopolize Green river.
it is going to reduce the Colorado riv-
er to very low depth, and what is
to become of Imperial oranges, dates
and canta.oupes?
Fortunately for California, Secre-
tary Lane has been studying the situ-
alton, and when it came to the ap-

tile land in the Imperial valley, this

Hot Water for Sick Headaches
TeIls why everyone shbuld drink hot water with phosphate
 In It before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by uto-intoxication-whic means self poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons' called toxins, sucked into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that 1t congests in the smaller arteries and veins of the head producing vio- lent, throbbing pain and distress called headache. You become nervous, de- spondent, sick. feverish and miserables your meals sour and almost nauseata you. Then you resort to acetanilide, aspirin or the bromides which tempor- arily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irritating toxins.
 A glass of hot water with a teaspoon-' ful of limestone phosphate in 1t, drank before breakfast for awhile, will not only wash these poisons from your sys- tenn and cure you of headache but will cleanse. purify and freshen the entire alimentary canal.
 Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It Is in expensive, harmless as sugar, and all most tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant
 If you aren't feeling your best, if tongue is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul breath or have colds. indigestion. biliousness. constipation or sour acid stomach. begin the phos- phated hot water cure to rid your system of toxins and poisons
 Results are quick and 1t is claimed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every morning never have any headache or know miserable moment.-Adv.

COLUMBUS RAIDER
 SUMMAR|LY SHOT Bandits Declared Outside the Law by Carranza's
 War Minister

Mexico City, March 1S.-The minister of war, General Obregon, issued a decree today declaring all participants in the Columbus raid outside the law. The de- cree gives the right to an cyitizen to apprehend and kill, if necessary, the fol- lowers of Villa who crossed the Ameri- can frontier.
 The first victim Of this decree was summarily executed today in the city of Hermosillo, near which place he was captured by men who denounced him as one of the raiding party. The execu-
 tion was carried out on direct orders of the minister of war, who personally
 sent instructions to General Gales, mili-
 tary governor of Sonora, to that effect.
 Another suspect. CarloA Reza former reactionary leader, was taken into GUS tody, but was not executed, owing to lack of evidence. He will be taken to Sal tillo. where he will Lc tried by court. martial.
 The authorities declared that the ef- l forts to run down the bandits will in- crease with time and that the govern ment will not rest until all those | guilty of the crime against the United 1 States have been run to earth. Genera l Pesquiera, assistant minister of war has been in conference with his chief on the l subject.

Columbus forthwith became so excited that the military patrol was hurried to the spot.
 Additional, evidence of the tightening of the censorship was contained in the fail- ure of the local weekly paper to print anything today, it's regular press day, ex- cept special notices There was nothing else which the proprietor considered a right to print.
 The local telephone company also was warned that only officers or men of the army whose names were included in a list provided should be permitted to use the long distance lines. The only civil ians permitted to use the toll lines are residents of Columbus or persons well known to the telephone operators, news paper correspondents being barred.
 
 trucks made it certain that the Ameri- can forces in the field will be amply supplied wherever they may go.
 It became known today that the Amer ican expeditionary force is taking every precaution against disease which has followed four long years of civil war fare in northern Mexico. All along the border. also, medical officers of the Uni ted States immigration service are talk ing increased care to prevent the intro- duction into the United States of small pox, which is rampant in Mexico, particu- larly in the western part of Sonora.
 All correspondents were obliged to pre- sent credentials at military headquar- ters.
