1t involves the digging of a canal
from a point on the Colorado river,
near Austin, to a connection with the
Rio Grande, at point above Eagle
Pass. a length of about 200 miles. The
scheme provides for the construction
of many laterials and bitches, the
building of dams and locks for the
conserving of the flood waters of not
only the Colorado, but of several 9TH
ep rivers which traverse the region
that the proposed canal is to run
through.
Mr.. Bruce estimates that the cost
of the canal and irrigation system
would be approximately 100,0O0,0OO
and that it would enable the reclama-
ton of more than 100000 acres OF
land Practically all of the land that
would come under this irrigation sys-
TEN is now used exclusively for ranch
ing purposes 1t would be easily pos
sible to grow three crops year upon
the land, it is claimed, and one years
production would be of enough value
to more than pay the entire cost of the
project

know how the fall grains will come
through the winter and we are not
now able to forecast the demands and
the conditions which will prevail after
the first of the year.
This department, the agricultural
colleges, and other organizations VIII
continue to give definite thought to
all the problems, and, at the proper
time, will lay the situation before you
1.-Two things seem to be clear:
zone is that, for considerable per-
iod. the world will have need particu-
larly of a larger supply than normal
of live stock, and especially of beef
and fats. We should not fail, there
fore, to adopt every feasible means of
economically increasing our live stock
products. AS a part of our program,
we should give due thought to the Sc
curing of an adequate supply of feed
stuffs and to the eradication and con-
troll of all forms of animal disease.
Need to Perfect Organization
"The other is the need of perfect
ing the organization of our agricul-
tural agencies for the purpose of in
telligently executing such a program
as may seem wise. We should not
only have the best possible organiza-
ton and cooperation of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the agricultural
colleges, the State departments of
agriculture, and farmers association,
but we should especially strengthen
the local farm bureaus and other or
CARNATIONS which support so effec-
lively the extension forces and assist
them in their activities. The perfect
ing of this organization is highly de-
sirable not only during the continu-
| ance of the present abnormal condi-
tions but also for the future. The To-
cal as well as the State and Federal
| agencies are of supreme importance
to the Nation in all its activities de.
isgned to make rudal life more profit
able, healthful, and distributive, and
therefore, to secure adequate econo
mic production, efficient distribution
and necessary conservation.
1.-The main purpose of this appea
is to direct attention to the necessit!
of continuing our state of prepared
ness and of strengthening the foun
dations of our agriculture"

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of MaysvilIe PeOeple.

AS one weak link weakness a chain
so may weak kidneys weaken the
wholebody and hasten the final break
ing-down.
Overwork strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gen.
orally when their activity is lessened
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and Ianguur and
urinary ills frequently come, and
there Is an ever-increasing gravel or
fatal Bright's disease. When the kid
neys fail there is no real help for the
sufferer except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys. Maysville testimony is
proof of their effectiveness.
Mrs. Harry Mann, 495 W. Second
St., says: About two years ago, l
suffered from an attack of kidney
trouble that had lasted for a long
time. had a dull, constant ache in
the small of my back and the pains
were often sharp. l was also dizzy
and felt tired and langrid. Two boxes
Of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
/ haven't been bothered by kidney
trouble since. gladly advise anyone
to get a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at the Chenoweth Drug Co., II trou-
bled by their kidneys"
Mrs. Mann is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOANS
KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs
Mann had-the remedy backed by
home testimony. go cents at al

that while the prices of some food

prices of some food commodities may

adding that there will be no relaxa-

he continued, will prevent depletion
of our stocks by hungry Europe be-
low our necessities, and anyone who
contemplates speculation in food

well be warned of the prompt action

142D ANNIVERSARY
INDEPENDENCE DAY
GREATEST IN HISTORY
Foreign Born Of the
Nation Unite to
Pledge Their Loyal
ty to the Cause Of
Freedom

With groups representing q nation
alities planning to take part, indica-
tons are that the celebration of the
l43d anniversary OF independence day,
July 4th. 1915, probably will be the big
gest ever undertaken in the United
States. On May q representatives OF
% nationalities appealed TO President
Wilson TO issue a proclamation to the
native-born Americans of the Nation
to unite with the foreign born in order
that everyone may join in commemo-
rating the anniversary Of not only ma
! tional freedom, but Of universal free
dom.
Forty-slx representatives OF societies,
including Armenians. Assyrians, Bel
gians, Chinese, Czecho-Slavs, Danes,
Dutch, Firms, French. French-Cana-
dians. Germans, Greeks. Hungarlans,
Italians, japanese, Lithuanians, Nor
wegians, Poles, Portuguese, Russians
Roumanians, South Slavs, Swedes, and
Swiss, united in the following appeal
to President Wilson:
To the President of the United States:
On the Fourth of July, 1116, the found
ers of this Republic began the move
ment for human liberty and the rights
of nations 10 govern themselves. one
hundred and forty-two years later We
find the world democracy, of which this
Nation was a pioneer, formidably as
sailed by the powers of reaction and
! autocracv.
We represent those peoples whose
sons and daughters came to this land
later than the founders of the Repub-
lie. but drawn by the same ideals. The
nations and races and peoples which we
represent are taking their part In one
way or another, III the struggle. Some
| happily. enjoying a political entity, are
! fighting openly and with arms against
! the enemies of progress. Others, un-
| happily, submerged. can give but pas
sive opposition. Others have been
forced against their will into the ar
mics of the common enemy. Finally. a
few still remain outside, hard pressed,
threatened by the mailed fist, dreading e
alike to be drawn in and to be found
apart from the rest when the hour II
settlement arrives. But all through in
finite suffering, struggle either blnd,y
I or open eyed toward the same end-the
! right of peoples to govern themselves
as they themselves see fit, and a JUS
! and lasting peace.
/ The higher interests of the races
which we left behind have become iden'
/ teal, in this significant YEAR with the
! higner interests Of the United States
! We regard ourselves now not only as
| members of an American common
/ wealth, one and indivisible. but OF I
world commonwealth, equally Indiv 81
! bic. United for the principles Of thai
/ democratic world-state which is fight
! ing now for its being on the battleheidE
! OF Europe we intend. on July !. ISIS. tc
! manifest by special celebrations, ou,

memorating this. the Anniversary no

high ideals. He recommended these
traits OF Joseph to the members OF
the class of '1S. He said i'll speak
ing OF self control, 1T is only cour-
age under another name 1t IS the
root Of all virtue In speaking Of
dreamers he said. 1T is the dream
crs of the world, those who have
dared to hope for and expect things
to come to pass, who have been the
redeemers OF mankind Prof.
Mitchell claimed that the crownine
virtue of Joseph's lifc and OF all
great men such as Abraham Lincoln
was having high ideals and being
true to them. III other words, keep
ing the windows open toward Jcru-
salem. He admonishcd the young
