from disastrous fires would be elm
mated. Every acre Of semi-arid land
along the valleys and millions or
acres OF table land could be irrigated,
thus providing untold millions Of
bushels OF wheat. corn and vegeta-
bles. And last but not Of least i'm
portance is the fact that the evapo-
ration from the lakes and ponds
would be SO great that the southwest
hot winds that blister, burn and
wither our crops would be thing Of
the past. Agricultural. Industrial and
commercial interests should go hand
in hand, therefore let us all pull to-
gether, and turn a stream that has
heretofore been considered a great

useful blessing God ever granted to
man. Study the accompanying map,

By James ]. Montague

We've Just had a visit from a
handy man-yOu know the kind.
They understand all about plumb
ing, and furnaces. and locks. and gas
stoves. And they are panied be-
yond expression 10 discover that you
let these things get out OF repair
and don't do anything about IL.
He spent a happy week fixing up
all the delinquent domestic machin-
ery-a happy week for him, that is
He complained a good deal because
we had so few tools. and kept them
in such bad condition. But being a
handy man he knew how 70 fix the
tools too. He had them in good
working order In a few days. and
began on his helpful task OF max
ing our household what IL ought TO
be.
He did it too. We would have
been better off If we had moved out
In the meantime. In fact when he
was fixing the bathroom hot water
faucet, without shutting off the
water. we suggested II. But he
wouldn't hear OF il.
What's a little falling plaster, 4"
he said calmly as the cook in the
pantry below raised a wild wall Of
despair. "Ill put il all back on the
ceiling. and when its done IL will
stay there. III make IL waterproof.
His first shock. as he went over
the house. was caused by a smoking
chimney.
When he spoke about IL we told
him we had sent for a chimney
sweep. who would be around in 4
few days.
Don't fool away your money on
chimney sweeps" he said. They
don't know their business anyway.
I'll attend to.that in jig time"
He did. He got a ladder out Of
the cellar. dashed several scantlincs
together as the handle for a swab.
tied a bunch OF rags around one
end and proceeded to climb 10 the
roof.
Hauling the swab M after him he
broke a couple of windows. but he
said that could be easily fixed after
wards.
Plenty of Thrills.

yard TO watch his operations. Sew

failure when his feet slipped on
the steep roof. But all the damage
was done 10 the shingles The handy
man wasn't even disturbed.
IL was quite Juggling feat TO get
the swab handle. which was thirty
or forty feet long, nicely poised over
the chimney. But he managed II
at last. after several failures, each
Of which precipitated the thing to
the ground.
Then bracing his feet on either
side Of the chimney. he shot Il
downward. while n cloud of SCOT
scared into the air and quite shut
him off from our vision.
When the handle came out again
there was no swab on the end Of il.
Stuck some place" he called TO
us cheerfully. "buU never mind, III
burn IL out The chimney's good
and clean anyway"
So he went into the cellar and
built a roaring fire in the furnace.
The result was somewhat starti-
ing. Thick black smoke. poured out
of all the windows. PasSers by
rushed up the street and called the
fire department. When il arrived
we had 10 use all the firmness at our
command TO keep them from rush
ing into the house and flooding it
with water.
But the scheme worked-event-
ually All his schemes worked. af-
ter the harm had been done. The
rags burned out and the chimney
was clean. SO was the house after
we had spent three days getting the
smoke out OF f. and the handy
man had rekalsomined all the cell
inCS on The lower floor.
This triumph achieved he found
that the front door refused 70 lock.
That's a little Job he said, moth
ing messy about that Get me n
screw driver"
We got the screw driver and no
went to work 81 gerlv. In a few
minutes the lock was in eighty or
ninety pieces and ne was explaining
why II didn't work.
"Rust. fun of it. I'll put a little
oil in #. put it together again. and
vou'll have no more darger from
burglars"
We were all going out that even
Ing so we were glad 10 have the
