To SPEED UP WORK
Kansas Irrigation Projects Will
Be Worked "a Hours a Day.
j. w. Tough Has Big Plan to
Increase Food Supply.

Kansas irrigation projects are to
be worked twenty-four hours a day
in an effort to increase the states crop
production. Plans for a capacity pro-
duction by all irrigation plants, were
outlined today in a letter to Governor
Capper by j. w. Tough of Scott City,
state irrigation commissioner.
Tough declared he would arrange
for an extra corps of engineers from
Colorado to keep the Kansas plants
running full time. Every acre of irri-
gated land in western Kansas will be
kept constantly under the pumps, ac-
cording to the program of the state
commissioner. Hundreds of acres of
land not benefited under the present
system, will be made highly produce
tive under the new 24-hour scheme.
The Tough plan will be promoted
in connection with the project for
great crop production. There are no
funds available for the construction
of new irrigation projects. by the state
at this time. All plants in operation
however. will be kept busy during the
crop growing season. The state COM
missioner has also offered to superin-
tend construction of all private irri-
cation projects and to aid in placing
competent men in charge of irrigating
the lands.
One of the largest irrigation pro-
jects in the central west is owned and
operated by Tough. The plant is To-
Gated on his land near Scott City. 1t
is Lough's plan to keep the pumps at
this plant running twenty-four hours
a day. Several thousand acres of
growing crops will be irrigated

tween John d. Rockefeller and his
brother, Frank. The Millionaire oil
king announced that he would attend

grim, silent hatred that existed, for
what reason they themselves only
knew, between the two brothers for
nearly a score of years.
''John D. Rockefeller and William
Rockefeller will attend the funeral of
their brother Frank in Cleveland" was
the official statement from Rockefel-
ler's Standard oil offices here today.
Didn't Speak For II Years.
Neither friends. associates, mutual
business interests nor family ties sue
ceeded in breaking down the myster-
ious wall between the two men. For
seventeen years they neither spoke,
wrote nor so much as referred to each
other. 1t was to each as tho the
other never existed.
They were chums in boyhood. They
fought their early business battles
side by side. They shared their first
successes as they had shared their
ually close as brothers. The break
came in 1900. In that year Frank
rockefeller announced that he had
left the Standard Oil company never
TO return; and that he had taken a
VOW never again to speak to his broth
er. The quarrel was said to have been
over business affairs
Both men spent part of each year
in Cleveland, John coming from New
York and Frank from his ranch in
Kansas. They lived not far apart, but
they studiously avoided seeing or hear
ing of each other.
