NO PAY IN Is YEARS

A man who spoke with pro nounced Swedish accent appeared at the St. Louis income tax office and exhibited two new leather cases which contained 5000 in travellers checks.
 He said that he had just had his only payday in 15 years, and had heard that an income tax was due. It appears that during the 15 years he was employed on a ranch in Washington under an agreement with his employer for wages, plus board and clothes. Dur ing the 15 years he ''went to town" only twice a year, and drew no money he said, because his em- ployer had bought everything for him.
 When last month he decided to go to South America to become 3 rancher in his own name his em- ployer accompanied him to town and bought the checks for him. He was told that no tax was due from him.

THE SAME
 IN CLARENDON
Clarendon Residents Speak Out for
 the Welfare of the Public

It is just the same in Clarendon as here in Marianna; our frlends there speak out in the same glad, earnest way as so many greatfui Marianna men and women have spoken in these columns for years past. ~,
 Mrs. August Buntrock, Main St., Clarendon, Ark, says: Several years ago I was troubled with my kidneys. I had terrible backaches and on stooping over l had hard time strengthening up again. of- ten I was dizzy and black specks floated before my eyes. l also had severe headaches and my kidneys did not act right at all. l started the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, and after using three boxes my back was put in fine shape, and my kid neys were regulated.
 Price soc. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Buntrock had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N- Y.

LAND IRRIGATED BY INDIANS
Before the Advent Of the rSpaniards
F. the System Was in Vogue Among
tho Aborigines. i.

~. Irrigation began in Texas many
years before the lands embraced
within it's boundaries became part
Of the United States. years before
those same lands made up what was
known as the Lone Star republic,
writes James r. Freddy in the Ameri'
can Forestry Magazine.
To bring the time down to more
tangible date, the first irrigation work
was ' done-according to tradition
when. the Pueblo Indians constructed
the peculiar bitches about Ell Paso
and the Pecos country, which author
tiles of today claim were built for irri-
cation purposes. Another tradition
coming out Of the past tells that these
bitches were built by the Yuma In
dams when they we're driven west
ward by the Comanches and Apaches'
and not by the Pueblos.
When Coronado, the rowing ex-
plorer, opened this country to the
Spaniards he found well-wOrked irri-
CATION systems among the Indians
this was in 1910 when he was pushing
toward, the north. The practice of
irrigation was continued under the
franciscan fathers, who constructed
the Ave mission bitches that were
found near the present city Of San
Antonio. Even under Mexican rule
p the work did not stop, and grants by
the Mexican government often, read
as follows; G5lss42< ,5{,...5:;5 - i
In the name Of the Mexican ma
ton, grants him one day Of water with
its corresponding. labor Of land"

Tribute to the Clematis

No clcmatis is like another clematis.
It climbs differently; the setting Is
different; it consorts with different
flowers in different surroundings; and
as It puts forth its tender leaves, the
delicate leaf stalks grip here, there,
and instantly curl round the support.
Climbing plants are versatile, always
unexpected, and refined; generous to
those with whom they live, not proud.
and very real joy to all Travellers
