70 MAKE VAST TRACT FERTILE
important Irrigation Scheme That Has
Been Undertaken by the Otto
man Government.

The Ottoman government has un-
dertaken a great irrigation project
for the Adana plain (the Cilicia Of
antiquity, which may require ten
years for its completion. This project
contemplates the regulation of the
three rivers which water the plain
the Saihun, the Shihan and the Ber-
dan Shah-and will open up to agri-
culture 494,2O0 acres of land, much
of which is at present arid. 1t is
estimated that the completion of this
irrigation project and the introduce
ton of fertilizers and agricultural
machinery will increase. many fold
the Turkish production of cotton,
sugar cane, lemons, oranges and
olives. A part of the irrigation
works will be put in operation with
in the next eighteen months. When
these irrigation works are completed
the Adana plain will be the most ia
vored portion of the Ottoman en-
pire, for it already possesses splen-
did transportation facilities. The
plain is traversed by the Bagdad
railway, and, in addition, Adana is
connected with Mersina by rail.

SC0FFS AT "MACHINE" IDEAL
ualism as Preferable to Unionism
and Cooperation.

DR.. Percival Lowell, the astrono-
mer, who lectured here recently, ex-
pressed the same scant respect for
the machine" ideal of modern civil
lization as was expressed from the
same platform a few weeks before by
Rabindranath Tagore, the Bengali
poet and philosopher.
Everywhere on earth co-opera,
ton is the order of the day; union
ism is in the air." said Doctor Low
I'll. "Now, unions are excellent in
their way for routine work. But
though they push the lower men up
they pull the upper down.
''And except for routine work
what an unfortunate confession Of
individual incapability they make.
To be willing to cooperate is to ad-
NIT that one can do better in con-
junction with others than he can dc
alone. No great man ever co-operat-
ed with another in the idea that
made him great.
"That the banding together should
be held advisable is sad comment
on the paucity in genius of the age.

alone. Portland Oregonian.

SALVADOR WELL PEoPLED.

The person who thinks of all Cen
trail America as jungle will be sur
prised to learn that Salvador has
more people to the square mile than
any country in the world except Bel
gium. The density of population
is six times that of the United
States. The people even crowd
close up to the bases of the eleven
dangerous volcanoes, some of them
so active as to be called "infernillos,"
or slittle hells." There are other
slittle bells" in Salvador, even worse
than the volcanoes. One is 70 per
cent of illegitimacy. One is lack of
sanitation. One is the tremendous
burden upon the women. - Dan
Ward, in World Outlook.

STORY OF FAMILIAR HYMN
Writer'S Personal Experience Led Him
to Compose "God Moves In q
Mysterious Way"

The familiar hymn beginning
"God moves in a mysterious way"
known as "Cowper's hymn" had it's
origin as follows: Cowper was all
his life the victim of melancholia,
and more than once attempted sui
eide. One day, bent upon destroying
himself, he got into a cab and or
dered the driver to take him to a
certain point on the river, where he
intended to drown himself. The
cabman, noticing his strange appear
ance and feeling that all might not
be right with him, drove him about
the city and finally stopped in front
of the poets door. Stepping out
and recognizing the old, familiar
surroundings, and shocked at the
thought of his narrow escape, Cow
per exclaimed, 'God moves in a mys-
FERROUS way his wonders to perform"
and, rushing in, Immediately COM
posed the immortal hymn.

If there's one thing more than
another that helps put commu-
nifty in the "also ran" class it s
the town "knocker." You know
him-the fellow who is always
complaining that the town is dead,
that business is going from bad to
worse, that the schools are not
half so good as they are in some
neighboring village, and so on.
Not only does the "knocker" dole
out his discouraging line of talk
to his own town folks, but passes
it along to strangers within our
gates. And isn't it wonderful
how fast this kind of information
spreads and isn't it equally won
derful how some people will more
quickly believe a bad than a good
reportf

The Grip
(By Walt Mason

\Dy w dit N1doOl.
Now, when a man has got cold
that makes him bark and zip, he
talks about his aches untold, and
says he has the grip. AS well to
claim when chilblains firt your
toes around about, and cause a
picayunish hurt, that you We rheu-
matte govt. The grip it is fell
disease, unlike the garden cold,
and it was shipped across the seas,
from Russia frozen world. Oh,
it is fierce and it will cook the
goose of any gents, and make the

had it should receive due credit
for the same and if they die they
ought to leave a long enduring
fame. Alas, distinction for them
moulds no laurel wreaths this trip,
for skates with common ten-cent
colds, all say they have the grip.
I've had the real imported thing,
Endorsed by Nick, the Gar, and l,
of course, would like to spring

TOOK vows between DANCES
California CAple, Attending Ball, Lett
It to Get Married, and Returned
to Merry Party.

Outwitting their friends, Ximena
McGlashan, known as the Butter

country because of her collection OF
butterflies, and Jack Howard, son
of Cary Howard, a widely known
Oakland attorney, stole out from
a dance at night, were married, re-
turned, and went on dancing with
out telling their secret to anyone at
the dance.
They already had a marriage
license, so when a motor car drew up
in front of the Beta Theta Pi fra
ternity house in Oakland during the
dance, they had only to steal out,
speed to the home of the brides SIS
ter, Miss Bliss McGlashan, kidnap
her and friend, Miss Viola McGov-
ern, speed on again to the home OF
Rev. R. G. Brooks, and be married.
Both families knew of the engage
ment, but no one was in the secret
Of the wedding except the brides
sister, Mrs. jackson Gregory. wife
Of magazine writer, to whose home
the clippers went after the dance.
The bride, a Stanford graduate,
has made butterfly collections for
commercial use since childhood, and
is said to have one of the most COM
plete private collections in the coun-
try. She has written extensively on
the subject. - Sacramento (Cal.)

LINEN DUCK LEATHER.

Artificial leather from linen duck
is one of numerous British products
recently announced. The cloth is
coated with varnish mixed with a
little sicative and Venetian red,
and several thicknesses are joined
with an adhesive mixture of wood
tar pitch, rubber dissolved in benzol,
Venetian red and cork powder. The
sheets are compressed between pow
erful rollers. The material is espe-
cially adapted for soles of shoes, but
can replace leather for many other
purposes.

Some one over-zealous in the in
terests of prohibition has grand
scheme to further the cause by
prohibiting newspapers from pub
fishing advertisements of liquor
or beer, and propose to put a bill
through Congress to that effect.
While the bill shows that the Pro
hibs believe in the efficacy of adj
vertising, it also goes to show that
in order to keep from getting
horned, they propose cutting off
the bulls tail. From a casual
viewpoint it seems that the news
paper should have the right to run
its own business insofar as the
running does not conflict with the
laws of the land. If it is legal,
and the laws say it is, to manu-
facture beer and liquor, why
should it be illegal to advertise
the same. Besides, what do the
sponsors of the bill offer the news
paper to offset the loss sustained
by depriving them of the adver-
Using revenue. It is said that Ii
quor is a curse and kills people,
SO do automobiles, canned goods,
ropes and hundred and one ar
ticles We could mention. Are the
newspapers to be prohibited from
publishing ads for all these items?
The publishing of advertisements
is purely a matter of business and
we would respectfully suggest
that the prohibitionist attend to
his own affairs and let the news
paper man attend to his. Let
them stop the manufacture Of any
thing detrimental to the Human
race and the newspapers will do
all in their power to help them.
The trouble with the average re.
former is that he always starts
something to reform the other fell
lows business. The only way we
will ever have prohibition in this
country, in our opoinion, is by
having people stop drinking intox-
icating liquors and beers.

CLEVER IMITATION OF PEPYS
English Writer Said to Have Made .
Hit in Volume on the Style
of immortal Diarist.

The "Pepys Diary which has for
the past two years been one of the
most welcome features of Truth, is
now published under the title "a,
Diary of the Great War: by Samuel
Pepys, Jun" The angle of vision
of the original is very cleverly imi-
tated, and the junior Pepys has
caught the knack of the elders pref
ty egoisms, his delight in irrespon-
sible gossip, his little naughtinesses,
his little 'moralizings. 1t is heredi-
tary trait that this diarist should
on one page chide shopkeepers for
grasping at war profit and on an
other direct his agent to hold out for
a higher price for certain ash trees.

We are not sure how many people

pected) are in the course of it sent
to, the Tower; and the story of the
Zeppelin chickens somewhere in the
eastern counties), each with ga bald

Some people seem to be obliged
to talk mean of others. That
seems to be their only subject OF
interest on which to spend an
hour in neighborly conversation.
Soon you will hear what they say
and naturally you get mad as a
hornet, unless you are an angel.
Since that is seldom the case, we
would advise you to be wise and
cool off. Remember that gossipers
have very little judgment and
common sense.

1900, 900 ACRES IRRIGATED.

The area under irrigation in the
United States at present is esti-
mated at 100000 acres, with the
possibility in time of increasing this
to 50,OOO,000 acres, states the COM
mittee on statistics and standards of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. The total value Of
crops raised on irrigated land was
$1S1, 6l7,496 in 1909. Practically
all agricultural products can be
raised more successfully on irrigated
lands than on those which are not
irrigated, it is stated.

LARGEST IRRIGATED FARM.

Kansas claims to have the largest
irrigated farm in this country, con-
sisting of $4,000 acres. The land is
located in what is known as the
Shallow Water basin in Finney and
Scott counties. This basin is an old
lake. The water supply from shall
low wells is inexhaustible, three
pumps operating from the same well
and throwing water at the rate of
10000 gallons a minute can lower
the water stratum only fifteen inches
when pumping twenty-four hours
day, and the water returns to the,
proper level in two minutes after the
pumps stop.

lind REAL TREASURE ISLANDS
A Few Seekers After Hidden Gold
Have Met With
Success.

There are quite a number Ct
islands scattered about the gloh.
wherein buried treasure exists. .Ant
people are always trying to find i:
Quite score of attempts have bee,
made, for instance, to unearth TIN
treasure alleged to be buried on CO
cos island. Yet so far the adven.
turers have reaped no reward for
their toll. Fully 100000 has been
wasted, again, in futile attempts tc
recover the pirates hoard'' report
ed to be hidden near the lip of the
crater of an active-very active
volcano on Pagan island, in the La
drone group.
Still, as setoff against many fail
ures, there have been some few sue
cesses, remarks London Tit-Bits.
There is no doubt, for instance, that
a Liverpool sailor named John
Adams unearthed treasure to the
value of between s15O,OOO and $780,
900 on Auckland island some years
back; nor that William Watson, a
shepherd, recovered in 1868 nearly a
ton of gold that had been hidden on
one Of the Queen Charlotte islands.
Likewise, two runaway seamen,
named Handley and Cross, success
fully located and dug up a valuable
hoard on Oak island, off the coast of
Nova Scotia, and this after many
others had failed.
