ELKO TONIGHT.

Cow boys have no particular love
for tenderfeet and keep very much
to themselves when fasteners are
aroung. When Douglas Fairbanks
arrived at the beautiful Riverside
Ranch in Wyoming to stage his new
Aircraft picture, 1.-THE Man From
Painted Post" at the Elko theatre
tonight and tomorrow, the natives of
the plains acted very respectful to
him-but kept their distance. This
feeling lasted just as long as it took
the popular actor to get into his
Western outfit, mount his horse and
dash out on the prairie for a wild
ride around the new location"
When he leaped upon the back of a
quicker" and succeeded in remain
ing there until the pony quieted, the
barrier between the natives and the
visitor was lifted and he immediately
became lone of Them.

exciting episodes. The adventures OF
an amateur actress whose pretty head
was turned by her foolish friends
who fattered; who went to the great

obliterate the greatest triumph, con-
stitute a motive for entertainment
that carries a valuable lesson to
''stage struck" girls who take them
selves too seriously.

MAE MARSH TONIGHT

A story of peculiar interest to ami
NAL lovers is the new GOldWyn pic
ture, Sunshine Alley, starring Mae
Marsh to be shown at the Rex
theatre tonight.
Nell Hardest, so the story goes, is
the granddaughter of an old man
who keeps a bird and animal shop in
a poor quarter of a great city. Her
greatest pride is in beautiful bull
finch, and for that reason her grand
father refuses to sell the bird when a
munificent offer is made for 1t by
Morris, millionaire. Morris makes
the offer largely because his auto
mobile has injured the old man and
he wants to make him some cOmpen-
sation.
When Nell learns this, and realizes
that they have not money enough to
pay for doctor and medicines, she
calls Ned Morris, the handsome
young son of the millionaire, and
tells him he may have the bird at the
price offered. The sale is made; but
when the bird is brought to the Nor
ris mansion it refuses to sing. There
upon Nell goes to the mansion, too,
to restore it's voice. She is well
coined by Ned, who has fallen in love
with her.
In the meantime, Nell's brother,
Carlo, persuaded by an evil compan-
ion that Morris has wronged his
grandfather in not making real COM
pensation, goes to the Morris home
to rob it, He starts burglar alarm
while taking the jewels of Mrs. Nor
ris, and Nell hides him. When he
eventually escapes with the jewels,
Nell follows to recover them only to
be suspected of the crime.

this is not all. Many American states
have banking systems of their own and the

URGES IRRIGATION FARMERS TO
HELPCONSERVE FOOD SOURCES
Cooperation Between Irrigation Com
panies And The Farmers
BY w. L. Rockwell
Irrigation Engineer, United States Department of Agricultural
To the Irrigation Farmers Of Texas:

To the Irrigation Farmers of Texas:
With the growth of the nation-the in
crease of population, and the extension of
commercial relations to other peoples there
is required the production of a gradually
increasing food supply. This is true under
normal conditions, but many more times
urgent has il become in this national crisis
that has suddenly been forced upon us.
We must not only feed ourselves, but
we must assist in furnishing a food sup
ply for the 'brothers across the sea- who
are now in the trenches fighting for u
the battles of freedom and humanity. Ev-
cry person must now realize the absolute
necessity of individual efficiency and act
accordingly.
There is in the state Of Texas a consid-
cradle area under actual irrigation and an
additional acreage tributary TO the irri-
cation systems constructed, but which has
not yet been cultivated under irrigation.
These acres should he made to pay tribute
to the food supply.
Due to a number of reasons many of the
systems in operation have not attained a
high degree of efficiency, hence there
should be a concerted effort not only to
increase the productive irrigated area but
to bring all to the highest possible eff
cheney. To accomplish this result there
must be unity of action all along the line.
The irrigation company cannot serve its
patrons well unles il has their hearty CO.
operation. Unity of purpose and action
builds successfully great enterprises. D-
vision and contention will destroy the ben
eficial effect of any effort.
For the successful operation of an ir-
%rigation enterprise the plant must be ade-
quate to the need. Where pumping j. re-
quired the machinery Installed should have
sufficient capacity to believer the required
amount of water and at the proper time.
Likewise the canal system should pos
sess sufficient capacity in every section
In a trucking district the pumping plant
and canal system should have sufficient
capacity TO serve the total area in a per
iod Of not TO exceed ten days, and in q
section where only general field crops are
produced the capacity of the plant should
be sufficient to deliver water to every
acre in rotations Of not longer than fif-
teen days. To accomplish this result the
system must in every respect have the
necessary capacity it must be handled
by competent men, men constantly on the
job, who can continually look after I'll,
machinery and care for it, keeping supplies
in hand and quickly correcting any trouble

lee cream was certainly first served IN
the United States by Dolly Madison, the
wife of President Madison, and it has often
been said that she invented the popular de-
sert. A writer in the Illustrated World,
however, says that the first ice cream
was made by Gunton, a London confec-
tioner. But Gunton's method of freezing
was crude and uncertain, and it remained
for Nancy Johnson, the wife of an Amer
can naval officer, to invent the ice cream
freezer.
The ice cream busines has far ont
grown the small hand freezer. Vast guam
titles are frozen by special machinery
The industry has become 50 great that for
tunes have been made out of it. Last year,
according tn the Indianapolis News, the
American people consumed 100000, OOO
gallons, which, figured at only a dollar
and a quarter a gallon, means a business

carry a supply hat will quickly serve his
field, il he allows his bitches to become
choked with weeds rendering it impossi-
bit to quickly serve him, if he does not
prepare his land so that he can distrib-
ute his water economically, evenly, quick
|ly; it is impossible to give him and his
~neighbors good service.
To distribute water evenly and quickly
the surface of the field must be leveled To
uniform slopes. In trucking the length
of beds or burrows should not exceed $50
feet in sandy land nor 200 feet in loan
soils. For fields crops the distances be-
tween field bitches should not exceed 800
feet. Those who have handled water in
irrigation know that more time is required
To cover the so feet at the lower end of
the bed than the 100 feet next to the ditch.
BY means Of short beds and burrows, with
the land surface evenly prepared a larger
area can be irrigated per day, the water
can be more evenly distributed, resulting
in larger returns, with less danger Of in
jury to the fertility Of the soil.
~ dttdlH tHt EltbAtNt thi'ith'N ~
plant must be in continuous operation dur
ing the irrigation season. Water flows in
our streams both day and night. The ir-
rigator must accustom himself TO the use
of water either day or night. As a mat
ter of fact sunless hours are to be prefer
red for applying water since during the
hot season there IL less danger of injury
from scalding, and evaporation losses are
less than during the hours of sunshine.
Since il j. impossible for any irrigation
system delivering n considerable quantity
of water to supply all or a large portion
Of it, patrons on any one day some sort Of
systematic measurement and delivery must
be instituted whereby the management may
arrange a just service to each patron. This
j. absolutely necessary. The distribution
must be without favor for when one j. fav-
ored another is injured and the success
of the proposition depends upon the sue
cess of both company and patron. The
work j. cooperative, success J. cooper
ative. This is likewise true of the NUT
ual corporation and the irrigation dis
lirict.
And now in this national emergency nm
appeal j. made to the irrigation farmers
and TO all connected with irrigation de-
%velopment to use your means and energy
directed by your good judgment 10 in
crease To the fullest measure the food and
feed supply. Go about your work with
the determined purpose of doing your part
better than it has been done, or bringing
your farm TO a higher state of productive
ness and so while you are helping your
self and adding 10 the pleasure of your
life You are also doing your bit for til,
protection Of the cause Of humanity.
