"Second-Without storage, the sup
ply is safe for 100000 acres under
canal
"Third-Without storage and the
entire irrigable area below the Grand
Canyon under canal, the worst that
can happen in any year will be the
loss of one or two cuttings OF alfalfa
on a part of the land.
'In conclusion, / desire to say
that it is my opinion that even
without storage and with all the
irrigahle lands below the Laguna
Dam under canal, there never will
be a serious shortage if we have
so perfected cur distributing sys-
tenn that we can take all the water
from the river during the low per-
iods and conduct it to the land
without unnecessary waste"

age, that of 1910, would have required

"My deductions, then, from this

"First-That with 100000 acre

A NEW ARMY NEEDED

During the war no man wanted TO
be considered Stacker. Most of
them marched off to war in behalf of
their country. Most of them made
great sacrifices to do it. They fought
nobly and we'll and many had to offer
on the altar ftheir country their
greatest gift-life.
Now that the war is over many of
our men seem to think their duty to
their country is over as we'll And a
time when production is need
ed, they strike for higher wages, for
shorter hours, for almost impossible
conditions of work. And this country
upon which the whole world is de-
pending for production is falling back
on the job miserably.
Of course low production brings
up the prices on those things which
are produced and we get this high
cost of living which we hear so much
about. And thus we go on in a circle
food is high, men strike for higher
wages, their striking binders pro-
duction and prices climb still high
er.
1t seems a shame that we cannot
call out the same loyal army to fight
this external foe of autocracy. They
both kill our mankind, but in differ
ent ways.

SWEEPING THE sEl

Since the war began we have laid
something like 100000 of mines
Submarine mines vary greatly in size
and shape. but all are formidable and
require much expensive and delicate
mechanism. They cost from $500
apiece and upwards.
If we put them at the very low
figure of 500 apiece, thus means that
a sum equal to more than half our
pre-war national debt has been sunk
in salt water.
Now all thes mines and a host OF
Hun mines have to be recovered or
destroyed. We have stuck to the
Hague convention by which it was
laid down that mines must be so con
structed that once they get loose from
their moorings they became automat-
ically harmless. The Huns, with their
natural disregard for scraps of paper,
have left the seas sown with floating
mines, horrible engines of destruction
which remain deadly perils to ship
ping for months or even years.
For long time to come a large
number of our smalle" craft will be
engaged in the task of sweeping for
these mines and destroying them when
found. 1t is desperately dangerous
work, and although the war is over
the casualties from this source are
bound to continue for some time to
come,
Fishermen will find the peril the
worst. Mines will be caught in the
travis as they drag along the bottom
of the sea But fishermen are not dis
mayed. They are getting back to
work with all speed.

/ happened to be in Atlanta, Ga,
over Lincolns birthday, and it pleased
me beyond measure to find printed
on the first page of one of the promi-
nent newspapers of that beautiful city
a three column cut of Abraham Lin
coin, with a suitable tribute in verse.
AS | was about to toss the paper
aside, a fine old type of southern gen
tleman seated himself on the divan
alongside me and in the usual courte-
Que manner of the country gave me a
morning salutation. | responded in
kind, and then. tapping my paper
observed:
THAT IS a fine picture, of Lincoln"
yes, sub; a very fine picture. sub,
he replied Il neveS ha dthe honor OF

hear, sub, he must have rosembled
that picture pretty close sub"
1T is q delight to me to find It in

in the south as this"
Yes, sub" he answered. at shows
that the south IS not slow to recognize
genius, sub, wherever It is found, sub
But" he added, there is no occasion
for surprises, sub. We have always
appreciated Mr.. Lincoln's greatness
down here, and we have admired him

WHY PEOPLE SUCCEED.

To win in any calling person
must make a study of it. He cannot
advance far if he simply does just
what his boss or his shOpmates tell
him. Managers of businesses are very
busy people, and they haven't time to
tell all they know. The majority of
persons learn their work in very
superficial way. and know it just
barely well enough to get by.
The ambitious worker, however,
can learn far more about it. In al
most any employment there is a
chance for one to perfect himself and
gain useful information. If one is en-
gagged IN retail trade. he should study
the goods he has to sell. He should
read trade papers, learn all he can
about the markets. and study the pro-
cesses by which goods are produced.
Also, he can. learn a great deal by
talking with travelling statesmen, who
have to be intelligent about their
goods in order to sell them. When a

to talk with him if you can Don't
gossip about baseball or the theaters
or politics. Quiz him about his goods.
He will quickly enough respond, as he
will think you may influence the boss
to buy his stuff. You can learn a lot
from him in a short time. Salespeo-
pie who can talk intellgently about
their goods are worth twice as much
as others.
Or If you are employed on some
mechanical process in a shop, study
| every process you have to perform
Watch the materials you work with
Notice how they are affected by heat
cold, friction, moisture, dryness. or
any other conditions they have to
meet. Become very observant OF
small changes, and learn to size VI
different kinds of materials and see
how they will act under all condi.

becomes master of the materials he
handles, will not hold subordinate
position long. He is too valuable.

TIE MONROE DOCTRINE.


There is a religious sect that OBJ
iects to the wearing of buttons. 1t
originated at a time and in place
where buttons were made exclusively
from the bones of slaughtered ami
mails, and the members of this sect
did not believe in Strengthening ami
mails. But now that buttons are made
from q South American nut, one might
suppose that the Amish Mennonites
would put up with them. But they
don't. They persist in the particular
form long after the reason for 1t has
departed,
There's no especial reason for pick
ing on the Am.sh Mcnnon!tes. In your
religious sect and mine there are
forms which we could not explain to
save our necks. 1t is part of tho con-
seryatism of human nature to stick
to tho old ways.
Now this is very important and
valuable trait. but It goes to extremes
sometimes, as in the case of the but
tons. And if there were not another
trait which leads men to seek some
thing new and better, progress would
be impossible.
We have our Monroe doctrine. II
has become a sort of religious fetish
with us. The mere suggestions that
we abandon it makes the average
American hot under the collar. For
tunately the League of Nations plan
does not need to ask us to abandon
it. We are asked to amplify it rather
and make it world wide.
When the Monroe doctrine was pro
mulgated, it was such a daring con-
ception that we can scarcely get any
idea of the nerve it took 1t was as
daring thing as it would be now foI
the United States to announce that ne
part of the world was to be subjec
to further conquest. 1t was so darinl
/ that the senate was not asked to rati
| fy it, and it is doubtful II it coulC
| have received the necessary votes il
| the senate any time within twent!
| years after it was announced
We think of it as having had tw,
objects one selfish and the other un
| selfish. II was to keep us from hav.

was to preserve the new republics o.
the Western Hemisphere from the
aggressions of Europe. AT that tim,
