no card these days."
"There are several things I want to
hear from you," answered Rickard,
following brown necktie and pointed
beard to the platform. 'I'll be sure
to look you up. Mines Richard"
The breeze which was now entering
the car windows had blown over the
clover-leefed fields. Its message was
sweet and fresh. Rickard could see
the canals leading off like silver
threads to the homes and farms Of the
future; "the socialists dream come
true!" Willows of two or three years
growth outlined the banks. Here and
there a tent or a ramada set up a
brave defiance against the hard con-
iitions of the land it was invading.
Rickard leaned out of the window and
locked back up the valley which was
dominated by the range now wrapping
around itself gauzy, iridescent drap-
cries.
'The monument to an effete super
.titionw he repeated. "Tbat wasn't
bad idea"

United States came to the aid of
Germany today, more than fifty
years afterward, Erzberger said,
should could give Germany food and
raw materials against a German loan
and at the same time would be doing
a good stroke of business.
Erzberger said Germany was suf-
fering from hunger. He said doctors
had made known the number of vic
tins of the blockade. More than a
half million men, women and child
rem had died from exhaustion or the
results of lessened capacity to resist
disease, he said. He declared that
Bismarck Immediately gave succor tc
Paris in 1871, after the Franco

from hunger in Germany.

the Eentente "to the Polish appetite
for conquest"
Germany, Erzberger declared, had
accepted President Wilson's four
teen points for peace, and the Allies
also had accepted them. Article II,
he said, did not give to the Allies the
right to forbid the German people
from defending themselves against
such encroachments as the Poles were
making.
Two notes were handed to Marshal
Foch by Matthias Erzberger when the
renewal of the armistice was taken
up at Treves. One note concerned
the employment of the German nler-
hant marine for various purposes,
while the other was longer and con-
tained several requests, including
the release of German prisoners and
the maintenance of economic inter-
course between Germany and occu-
pied German territory.

many advantages. What is the charm
of Riverside? It comes to me always

Rickard observed that perhaps he
did not know anything about irrigation
after all! He had not thought of II
before in it's sociological relation but
merely as it touched his profession.
"Not going into soil values, for that
Is long story" began the older man
"irrigation is the answer which sci

cation is not a compromise, as so many
believe who know nothing about it. Il
Is distinct advantage over the old

the engineer.

"Wonder how the old fellow picke
