is heavy rainfall here at nearly ev-
cry season of the year. He spoke of
the irrigation of some 10000 acres in
his section where the supply of water
at particularly dry periods made pos
sible larger crops and more crops.
Irrigation has been the practice on the
Sequim flats for twenty-one years to
a greater or less extent, he said, and
the success had been so marked that
they propose to enlarge the project.
Mr. Benson supplemented Mr.. Keeler's
remarks in telling of irrigation in the
Philippines where they are irrigating
in sections that get as high as sixty
inches of rainfall in a year but still
have short, very dry season when
the water is needed.
Reclamation must be regarded as
national obligation, according to
Burton l.. French of Idaho. ''It is the
answer to the present food stringen-
cy," he said. I'VE must realize that
we have reached the end of the trail
under the homestead laws. In time,
under irrigation, individual holdings
will be reduced to less than 80 acres.
This means better cultivation, an ad-
vantage to everyone"
Congressman French illustrated
with several examples the need for
reclamation as it impressed itself on
the appropriations committe. One
was the so-called "oasis" at Sunnyside,
consisting of IS acres under ditch near
Sunnyside, in the Yakima Valley, with
desert sagebrush surrounding. The
enterprising owner had dug a we'll at
a cost of $4,000, and was spending
about s22 an acre annually for the
operation of motor pump and irriga-
ton equipment. Despite this expense,
he was able to net, in one year, $500.
Consider the profits when the govern
ment puts in water at far smaller
expense per acre, Congressman
French said.
Railways Offer Help
The value of the irrigation projects
to the railways was emphasized by the
representatives of the various lines
running into the Northwest, all OF
whom offered their services in the
campaign of education and legislation
which the congress mapped out E
C. Leedy, general agricultural develop
ment agent of the Great Northern
told of the help his line had been in
starting the first Wenatchee ditch and
what a wonderful development had
come to the valley since that time
Without irrigation that district pro
yided a precarious living for a few
rowing bands of sheep, he said, bu
since 1902 when the first commercial
shipments of apples were made the
output had grown to 1880 car load:
last year, or a greater production BY
10000 boxes than the entire state o

THE WAR AFTER THE WAR.

March. chief Of staff. who brought back from the
front shortly after VIE got into the great conflict and put
in charge Of the management Of the entire military sua
ton, duty which the public under tho impression he
performed with conspicuous success.
Be that it may, Representative Gallivan of Massa
ehusetts yesterday in his place and declared that is
common talk in the army that the present chief of staff
and one of his assistants colonel whose duty it was to
escort and dine foreign missions here in Washington have
space left between their belts and their collars to dis
play the medals given them result of this service
For some time there have been inmations that the army
lining up in two camps, the dominated by March
and the officers who helped him in what might be called
the office management of the American war effort and
The other by Perhmg and the officers who served with him
in the expedition to France, and this Gallivan attack may
be part of that Every time statement that there is
jealousy and contest for control in the army is made
directly there is food of denial. and Gallvan may
nto have any interest whatever upon such situation
The fact that GaHan is Democrat while March is a,
Republican will have tendency to encourage the belief
That he does not have
However the whole mess over the medals and awards
IN both the amy and the navy is making the public tired
and if goes much further the officer in either service who
has good record but is without one of the baubles which
have been handed out lashly may consider himself
fortunate.

4 PROBE FOR MoUNDsYlLLE.

SOhlE days ago Thomas Mott Osborn, former super
ntendent of the famous Sing Sing prison in New York
state where he became internationally famous for his
efforts to introduce self government and other extreme
methods of penal REFORM and present superintendent Of
the naval prison at Portsmouth, N H. made statement
to the general effect that Gray Brother in other words
former convict, had provided fund for investigation
and reforms number of prisons and penitentiaries
throughout the country where mhumane conduct" prevails
Among those mentioned in this connection was the West
Virginia pententiary at Momdsvie.
he statement naturally attracted attention. but It NAV
be doubted that made any great number of people any
where believe that there is anything seriously wrong with
the conduct of the institution at Moundsvlle Inhlmane
conduct is pretty elastic term when it applied to the
MANAGEMENT of penal institution. and the public in recent
years has learned to recognize that when such charge is
made by man who the matter from the STANDPOINT
OF q more or less permanent resident by one who like
Osborn, IS riding hobby, it is apt to mean something
AKIN to similar charge in suit for divorce which when
stted down found to rest formidable foun-
daton than that the brute of man cusses the cook when
the breakfast bacon is too well cnsped.
All will agree however, that Governor Comwell was
right asking the Attorney General to have Department
Of Justice investigation made of the West Virginia peni
eniay but the Governor might just well have omitted
his personal criticism of Osborn from the letter making
his request Osborn has been the storm center of fight
over penal reform theories for years. and on the sur
face his record is far from clear but there has been 50
much rotten New York state politics mixed up in it that

by all means let US have the Department of Justice in

one which the Gray Brother friend of the former Sing Sing
warden IS eager to finance and thus we will keep West
Virginia out of the controversy as to whether Osborn

Reds Don't Like
 the Federation

Moscow, Aug. 12.-Nikolai Lenine, the bolshevik premier, in an address to the third internationale yesterday. came out strongly in favor of the parliamentary, as well as purely rev. olutionary tactics in the World so- cialist movement. His remarks were supplemented by report of Karl Radek, the radical leader, on the trades union movement in various countries.
 Regarding the United States, Rad eck's report said the Industrial Work CTS of the World was the only purely revolutionary labor organization in America. It characterized the Amer jean Federation of Labor, as an Cop timistic body permeated with the bourgeoisie party" Radek recom- mended intensive work within an or ganization, and emphasized the inde- pendence of the development of trades union movement among un- skilled workers, who he said com posed the mass of the proletariat.

The Easiest Way
 to End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This de- stroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordi- nary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to mois- ten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com rletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluff fly, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail.
