GIVE C CHILDREN BIG NAMES
BUT VERY LITTLE CARE

Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson Gageby, of
Ioriia, are up against the proposition
of having their four children taken
away from them, according to pet
ition before Judge Montgomery Web
ster, of the probate court for Icnia
county and ell because of the fact
that they paid more attention 70 pro-
viding their offspring with great
names thal they afterward did IN
providing them wits proper care and
the fouN Caoebt kfdlets are very apt
tc find themselves wards of the great
state ofMichigap despite the fact that
their patriotic patronymics take one
in memory back to the nations his
toric halls Of fame, where its greatest
mea ard women are found.
Yes. naming tisair children after
the great and illustrous Of the nation
seems to be about the biggest thing
that Nelson Gageby and his wife have
done for them and now, according to
altered neglect and imCoper tisce
Abraham Lincoln Cageigy. William
Jennings Gagaby, Clara Barton Gage
by and little Woodrow Wclson Cage
by stand good chances of being prc<
perly cared fer in one or more of the
state institutions. George Washing
ton Gageby, another son, passed away
into an untroubled wcrld some years
ago but the 4 her four illustrous
named tots are here. as subjects Of
fer debate, the county authorities on
the one side and the elder Gagebys
arrayed on the other, even little
Woodrow, two years old and the
youngest of the -four being unable to
keep the family out OF war with the
authorities. in fact, it is largely ON
account Of Woodrow and the others
that the legal battle was begun for it
lis alleged that the care IF the children
is far from what it should be>and that
they would, receive the much better
care needed and - far better pro-
vided for at some state institution in
view Of the seeming neglect Of par-
ental duties which the children are
at present experiencing at home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gageby formerly re-
sided for q time in the Miriam dis
trict, occupying the old Peter Ritter

St. Mary's Catholic church and moved

four years ego. Nelson Gageby,. the

there were considered to be in very
poor circumstances, whether through
4 if luck. poor management, or what
the nesghbors knew not.
AT any rate, the case presents its
regrettable and pathetic side as I'M
doubtedly the Gageby parental love
is just as strong for their children as
though the family resided in palace
and had all the goods and attention
the world could give them.

Dear Friend:
Our contract with theGovernment

All of our facilities are now being
diverted to the regular line ofbusiness
Coats are rapidly being made up to
fill the back orders thai had accumu-
lated, and shipments are going out in
regular. turn according to the order in
which they were received.
The accumulation was so large that
lit is not likely we will be caught up
until the first of the year; SO we
ask you to take orders, but not to take
them for delivery before January first.
Agreement to deliver any time after
January first will be entirely salts

some unforeseen emergency arises.
We would like to have you give US as
dates. In other words, If you can get
January Is or 20, please do so instead
of dating them January first. Be sure
to take deposits to bind the orders.
Now a word about the outlook.
We have studied the situation care
fully OF course we have inside
knowledge about conditions affecting
the raincoat market generally.
Raincoats are scarce. Retail stores
are unable to get sufficient stocks.
Manufacturers are unable to- secure

Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indl-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-

England, France, the Netherlands

PROF. lSRAELSEN
BRINGS BACK BIG
REPORT FROM
CHICAGO

Professor o. w. Israelsen, chair
man Of the Committee on Irrigation
OF the American Society Of Agricul-
tural Engineers, who represented the
Utah Agricultural College at tho
eleventh annual convention OF the
Society which was held in Chicago
during the Christmas vacation,
brings back to Utah the report that
the forces being brought to bear by
the agricultural engineers through
out the country win aid materially
in the present food program.
How to aid our country in Its
present grave responsibility of pro-
ducing food supply sufficient to
feed adequately our soldier boys.
our allies and ourselves was given
first importance in all Of the discus
sions in the recent meetings of the
Society,"" says Professor Israelson.
During the sessions 1t was point
ed out that The agricultural engineer
is now contributing and will contrib
ute very much more to our national
welfare by improving health condi-
tions on the farm through attain
ment of better housing conditions
and through modern means of sew.
age disposal: by increasing efficien'
cy through the improvement of farm
structures and buildings; by the i'm
provement Of rural transportation
facilities. particularly through the
more economic use of motor cars"
THE following recommendation
looking to an increase of production
were made by the society:
An immediate increase In food pro
duction can be made; first by ex
tending the area of land under cul
tivation by irrigation. drainage. ex
tending the cultivated margin int
fence corners and nearer the road
ways and clearing of land OF timbel
and stumps where possible; second

by maintaining the fertility of soil
with special attention to the pre-
vention of soil erosion: third. by
more extensive use of improved farm
and Of farm motors so as |
to make possible an increase of crop
with a decreased labor
supply.
Considerable stress was laid on
the importance Of conservation in the
broadcast sense of the term by Pro-
lessor F. H. Newell Of the Univers-
ity Of Illinois.
1T was shown that, without build
ing a single new irrigation project.
food enough to support thousands Of
people annually might be produced
by extending irrigation to all Of the
lands now under canals. Likewise
1t was pointed out by Professor w.
l.. Powers of Oregon, and by others.
THAT tremendous possibilities await
the extension of drainage to lands in
the arid regions of the United States
which have been rendered nonpro-
ductive through seepage. and also
to wet lands in the humid regions.
Professor l.. F. Livingston of the
University of Wisconsin. pointed out
the marked advance which recent
years had witnessed in methods Of
clearing land through the practices
and Investigations of agricultural en-
gineers.
Agricultural engineers are now
beginning to realize fully that the
fertility of the soil must be adequate
ly maintained II the rural commun-
ity is to prosper. A paper presented
by Mr.. f. w. Lehman of The Uni
versity of Missouri pointed out the
excessive waste suffered by farmers
Of the Middle Western States through
the washing of the surface soil from
the fields into the streams and riv-
ers. Though this problem does not
apply directly in the West, such
washing Of soil by rainfall is very
much like our waste Of large areas.
through permitting irrigation water
to run In canals at excessive veloci-
ties.
I Greatest emphasis was given to
the possibilities Of meeting emergen,
cy needs by increasing the produc-
ton of food through an extension Of
the use of improved farm machin-
cry and farm motors. Some expert
ments Of exceptional interest were
reported by Professor l.. w. Chase,
Of the University Of Nebraska. The
very significant advance which has
been made In the design and con-
