Order.

An order was received at the
land office today which will re-

for disposition under the desert
land laws on February Is. This
township contains approximately
$4,000 acres, about half of which
will be covered by the Imperial
Laguna Water Company's canal

It is the opinion of Judge Farr
that the filing of the plats of tie
ten mesa townships indicates that
the General Land Office will
throw open all the land in a very
short time.
In the meantime, there will be
a great scramble for the irrigable
lands in Township IL south, Range

French have given until there is al
most nothing more to give, and will
continue to give until the message

Not only are they giving freely, but
they are doing it with smile. There
in lies the wonder of this gift.

WASHINGTON LANDLADY PROF.

(By Woman War Worker.)

The word has gone forth that wom-

ing into the capital, most of them
with the idea of doing their bit, altho

plenty, and only the absolutely impos-
sible are turned down; but (and it is

ton is where are these young people
to live and have their being in the

provincial, still goes on its placid,
bureaucratic fash;cn ti'ying to make

Here still in this crowded town is
the woman who will only rent her
rooms to Souhcrners, another who
FOR patriotism is willing to overcharge
for inferior accommodations and to
make it Il favor; and here is the land
lady (and her name is lcgion) who
prefers gentlemen or officers" and
one can make what one likes out of
that.

Many Of the young girls are sleep

for these girls to do more than just

they have suitcases and coats which
they have weariyy carried around all

MAKE SLACKERS FIGHT.

III bird can sing and won't sing,
it ought to be made sing" is an old
proverb, if homcly one. If men or
people can fight and won't when
they are needed, they should be made
to fight. If men refuse to volunteer
for war service they should be con-
scripted and sent to the front. This
was done in this country. 1t was done
IN Canada; it should be done in Ire
land, where certain sections of that
troublous, revolutionary island rcfus-
es to enlist and opposes conscripton
lrishme.i in America nockcd to enlist
ment posts when the call came. Those
who did not raised no whine when
conscrpted. Canadians volunteered
But those who did not felt the strong
hand of the law laid upon them. They
obeyed and the record of these Cam
adams is history, and brilliant his
tory, too. In the front lines in France
are Irish volunteer regiments fight
ing for freedom for France and Eng
land, as well rs for their own, while
at home, there arc thousands of good
soldiers lying supincly on their backs,
refusing 10 volunteer for service, and
fighting against CONSUMPTION, refusing
to fight except among themselves.
They ought to he, and evidently will
he. forced TO fight, will these "s!ack-
ers"
They "havc grievances" They
"havnt complete self government"
But as the New York Times declares
"they have as much f-governmcnt
as any man in England, Scotland, or
Wales. There is complete local,
sclf-governmcnt for every county in
ireland us in Scotland and Wales"
But again, say these slackcrs, ave
are denied independence. The men
of Ireland have been promised COM
plet self government and independ-
ence mt the close of this war. What
more do they need? What more is
necessary?
The men of the South under the
first draft responded TO the number
OF hundreds of thousands. What would
have been thought and said If these
Southcrners had objected to conscrip-
ton because they failed to win their
freedom in 1863? The colorcd men
of the South have responded bravely,
nobly and peacefully to the draft call,
many of whom are deprived of rights
as citizens OF the United States.
Irelands peril is as momentous and
serious as is that Of Europe, CANADA,
or the United States, and still, hun
dreds of thousands of soldiers who
boast of their courage, bravery and
lyoalty, are "lying down on the job"
in Ireland when their liberties and
freedom, and that Of the world is
trembling in the balances. They ought
to be and will be, made TO fight, SO
should every man who lives under the
British, French or American flags.
Slight the Kaiser or leave" is the
motto.
