Sure; Why Spoil Perfectly Good Lake?

COUTH DAKOTA evidently knows
y good thing when she sees it-and
wants to keep 1t, especially If Uncle
Sam is willing to pay the bills. Any
way, Representative Sterling of that
state presented resolution Of the leg
islature of South Dakota in favor OF
the enactment of legislation relating
to appropriations to reimburse owners
of land flooded by government artesian
wells, which was referred to the COM
mittee on public lands, as follows:
"Be it resolved by the house of rep
resentatives of the State of South
Dakota (the senate concurring)-
whereas the congress of the Uni
ted States in years past has appropri-
ated money for the sinking of four
6-inch wells on the shores Of Lake
Andes, in the County of Charles Mix,
State Of South Dakota, for the pur-
pose and object of keeping said lake
filed with water to at least its nor

and successfully realized, to the great
pleasure, satisfaction and enjoyment

ANATOLIA AWAKE FROM
SLEEP OF AGES.

AnatOlia, which IN Greek nieahS ="
rising, is literally living up to us
name. The leaven which during the
mast two or three years has been
working such drastic changes In couh-
tries in Europe and Asia, recently
threw this portion of Asia Minor IN
ferment.
Anatolia, which lies between the
Black and Mediterranean seas anu
touches Armenia on the east and syria
on the south, Is the home of some
1000 900 Turks. Even though MO
hammedan Turks, these people nave
suffered almost as much at the hands
of their own governing officials as
have the subject Greeks and Arme-
mans.
The original Turks in this area are
descendants of tribes which nave
drifted In from Central Asia, but INTO
Anatolia's crucible have poured
streams from many sources-Iurahl-
ans. Persians, Armenians and Greeks,
warrior tribes, nomads and merchants
many of whom have lost their names
and traditions. In fact, most of the
earth's animate creatures have at
some time passed over 1t. The molten
products of the centuries are nomaus'
who often change wandering Ire
into one of agriculture, living In nous
es built of bricks of clay dried In the
sun.
The principal wealth Of Anatolia
lies In It's agriculture Portions OF the
land are easily worked and fertile,
the tract from the Sea of Marmora
to Trebizond being particularly rich
Other parts are rocky or are inter
spersed with salt tracts.
Due to the paucity of population
numbering scarcely twenty-five per-
sons to the square mile, and TO the
fact that the inhabitants are imbued
deeply with the fatalism and suave
imperturbabilIty of Mohammedanism,
which to the American mind seems
about 90 per cent laziness, two-thirds
of the tillable area Is covered with
sprigs and useless weeds.
When the natives bestir themselves
and raise the common grains, grapes
and olives, cotton, tobacco and
poppy seeds which the land is capable
of producing, there are not yet SUM-
cient transportation facilities to take
care of the harvests. The Germans
saw the possibilities of these regions
and were planning, when they shipped
railroad ties, steam tractors and agri-
cultural machinery into the country,
practical steps toward the realization
of their dream. Now travellers from
the Near East tell us that "soon the
locomotive, the motor truck, and the
airplane will open up Anatolia in
new way, binding 1t to the world
commercially, politically, and geo
graphically, as the historic bridge
land between East and West"

SIDELIGHTS
National Parks and Water Power Act

Apparently the national park service
was asleep at the switch, for the new
water power act permits the filing or
applications for power sites In the ma
tlonal parks. The power commission
consists of the secretaries of war, IN
terror and agriculture. Secretary
Payne protested to the President. hold
ing that the granting of national
park power permit should be only by
act of congress. Then came the pledge
by Senator Jones.
The official statement of the ma
tional park policy is THAT the ma
tional parks must be maintained In
absolutely unlmpaired form for the
use of future generations as well as
those of your own time" The organic
act creating the national park service
specifies that the purpose OF the ma
tional parks is ito conserve the seen
cry and the natural and historic OBJ
jects and the wild life therein"
Applications for permits, however,
have already been Med in Grand Ca
non, Yosemite and Sequoia.
Friends of the national parks have
already begun the bombardment or
congress, the women being especially
active. A glance at the list OF memo
rails, petitions, ETC., shows protest
from women's organizations from
Rhode Island to California.

WI hinxton, Oct, 2l.-The Fordney

This announcement was made To-
night by Rep. JOS. w. Foriney re-

the house ways and means commit
tee and author OF the bonus measure.
His determination to press for action
on the legislation was reached by
Fordney regardless of Sen. Reeds

the senate
/, To overcome the objection OF Pres.
Harding, who had the bonus measure
sent back to the senate finance COM
mIttee on account OF the financial
stringency I'm the treasury, Fordney
will propose special sales tax TO
raise necessary revenue to meet the
cost OF the soldier relief legislation.
Fordney hopes to get the bill out
of the committee in time to nave
IL passed by the house and senate
ahead of the annual Appropriation
bill
The present plan is to have the leg
islatiou closely follow the bill Tor

lean Legion-cash bonus, home OF

Under the Fordney plan, the ia
would be included in the sale pric
and not tackled on in addition to tn
