Our Most Important Earthly Business

Between and next Tuesday morning every taxpayer in Phoenix and every water under the Roosevelt project sLoud ousy himself in seeing all his neghbors similarly situated concerning the cleo ton the drainage project and he should impress them that far they intimately and directly affected it is the most important earthly business on hand. All other business can wait until this has been disposed of
 There a one-sided question sub f9tted to There another devoid of scfshness and there proposition calculated to be helpful to whole community
 The valley is in this position: There is too much water under ground and not enough above ground There great of land in the Salt River Valley that needs only the magic touch of water There is still greater area of land already under cultivation which in the future may experience shortage of water.
 There farms in the valley that have become waterlogged and the level is rising nothing be certain than that this area of sodden farms will extend Already production over a wide is lessening. The water is where it can do no good, but much harm.
 This is not unprecedented situation. Many irrigated regions have found themselves in it. The tanners of the San Joaquin Kings River valleys of California know to their great what it means They remained in it too long; until the rising brought aka to the surface, and since then the gov ernment has spent far to reclaim the affected lands than their first reclamation cost, and of the territory has not yet been restored though underground waters have been removed The drain project to be voted for to remove the underground waters before this stage of permanent damage has been reached.
 The water is to be removed by system of pumps The water is to be carried above ground where is needed for the land it threatens to ruin by coming up of its accord If there is more of this water than is needed for the the project it will be sold to owners of and adjacent lands for their reclamation ......
 This enterprise will cost $500 OOO The additional water alone that would be developed would be worth much than that to say nothing of the value of the lands that would be saved from rising waters which would be worth many times s60000O
 It is proposed that the of the drainage sys- tenn shall be divided between the city of Phoenix and the water the former contribute s10O 900 to he raised by bond issue. and the latter to raise s50O.o00 by assessment of their acreage
 We have already shown frequently and at length the interest of both the city the water users in this matter The city itself is directly threatened by inc rising level, but more serious than any damage that could come to 1t in that way would be the effect upon it of great of farming land becoming unproductive.
 This is the of not only taxpayers and water users who of course, would be more directly affected, but it is the every man who makes his living in the Salt River Valley.

THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR

I have no joy in strife,
 Peace is my great desire Yet God forbid lose my life
 Through fear to face the fire. A peaceful man must fight
 For that which peace demands Freedom and faith honor and right
 Defend with heart and hands Farewell my friendly books:
 Farewell, ye woods and streams: The fate that calls me forward looks
 To duty beyond dreams. Oh better to be dead
 With face turned to the sky, Than live beneath q savish dread
 And serve a giant lie. Stand up my heart, and strive
 For the things most dear to thee Why should care to be alive
 Unless the world is free Henry Van Dyke in Scrbners Magazine.

DREAMER OF DREAMS

If would could move mighty mountains and hills. Uproot them and build me keep in the air; I could turn teeming rivers and black turbid rills To make me a lake plasance, placidy fair, If I would But to lie here and list to the wild churnng seas Sweeter seems; And sail yellow leaves down the swift autumn
 breeze
 Dreaming dreams If would l could grasp in my hand half the earth Make them mirthful or sad as laughed as cried; could guess at the where of the world before birth At the infinite whence and the whither beside If I would
 But wonder and watch the small, busy world Past me streams And l shepherd my woolly white clouds, un-

INDUSTRIAL ADDITION
PAYROLL 100000
MONTHLY SOON

That the Industrial Addition i,
going to be big factor in the build
ing OF Ardmore is to be seen in the
possibilities Of its payroll as out
lined by the industries already es-
tablished there and those in process
of building or organizing. The pay
rolls OF the Ardmore Refinery and
the Imperial Refinery each run
about $1,000 monthly. The Came
ron and the Chickasaw are expected
TO run about the same. If the plants
of the Real Oil Company and the
Ardmore Producing and Refining
Company are built to the capacity
now planned, their payrolls should
equal those above mentioned. This
makes six rehncries with COM
bined payroll estimated at $4S000
monthly.
The Peerless Steel Company's
plant which is now operating on
field Jobs and expects to have the
buildings for its plant in the Indus
trial Addition completed by June Is.
Its payroll will average not less than
$500 weekly in the city, exclusive of
the payroll for the men engaged in
field work.

CARTER SUNDAY SCHOOL

president; Mrs. Clarence Reed, sec
retary-treasurer; |. X. Mason, state
committeeman (re-elected); Mrs.
Clarence Cotter elementary super
intendent
The place OF holding the next
convention was not determined,
but was left to the decision of the
executive committee. 1t is desired,
according to expressions heard yes
erday, to hold convention at Viii
on in the near future.
The plan of township organization
was considered and this will be tax
en- up in the several townships of
the county Residents of Blue Rib
bon school district have asked to
have township convention for
Lone Grove township held at that
school.
1t was decided that in keeping
with this township organization
there shall be 4 Sunday school in
every school district in Carter Coun-
.y. The township units, the county
federation and the organization in
Ardmore, all working together will,
t is believed, result in a greater at
endance at the next convention.
or, while the attendance at this
meeting was not what was desired,
he interest manifested was such as
o show that there is thorough har-
nony existing among all the work
RS and a determination to prose
ute the work of organization in ev-
ry section of the county.
