be released in the desired quantity,
sufficient to confine the rise of the
lake to a certain maximum. Reports
show that there are no difficult en-
gineering features and that the work
could easily be completed in two years
after the completion Of the controlling
dam. Many reports have been made
upon the project and several futile
attempts undertaken.
international Project
The fact that the neighboring state
of Idaho would profit materially from
any reclamation work has made tie
undertaking more or less an interna-
tional affair, but so far nothing def
mite has accomplished. There is per-
haps no project in the southern inter-
ior which would have such far-reach-
ing effects as the reclamation of this
great area. 1t is believed that the
lands can be reclaimed at a cost of
about $25 per acre. Such an expendi-
ture would reclaim large proportion
of the acreage, which could then be
brought into production. In succeed
ing years, expenditure would have to
be made on internal drainage works
on the flats themselves until finally
the whole area would be reclaimed and
placed under cultivation.
Valuable Lands.
After the construction of the con-
trolling dam, which would mean a
charge of about $6 per acre, it would
probably be deemed advisable to carry
out the work in stages at first ex-
pending a sum equivalent to only a
small charge per acre and noting the
effect on the high water. The infor-
nation thus obtained would be of
value in determining future works and
their carrying out in every succeeding
stage. 1t is claimed that a conserva,
tive valuation on these lands when re
claimed, based upon productiveness
would be 5000 per acre. Withou
doubt the lands would stand for higl
reclamation charge in the course o
years, but such charges of course
would be levied SO that production
would be able to meet them as the.
fell due, after making all allowance
for crop and other failures beyon,
human control.

FRIDAY, APRIL %, 1921
ANOTHER IDEAL DEAD

President Harding in his message
to congress stated that the League
of Nations must be scrapped. One
more OF our beautiful ideals has come
to naught. We had an idea that
our recent war was fought to end
war. The boys who died over there
believing that they were giving their
sible, seem to have died in vain.
Whose fault is it? The men who
we're the instigatOrs OF the crucific-
tion of Jesus Christ said, let his
blood be on US and upon our children.
The blood of this idea, OF making
war impossible, stains the hands Of
the members Of the Republican party
In Congress, and it's effects will be
on them and on our children until
we, as a nation, can undo this cruci-
fixiOn of an idea that was as pure
AZ was the life OF Christ and like
him was given life. that all nations
might be saved.
Christ was OF Divine origin, SO
was the Idea. His life was so pure
as the dew that glistens in the first
rays of the morning sun, but the Idea
was like a pearl that was cast before
swine. Christ when he was on the
Cross called on all Nations to Look
and Live. The Idea said to all Ma
tions, your lives are insured and
your boundaries shall be respected;
NO more snail vandal foot make i'm
press on your soil to make OF you a
slave and mistresses Of your wives
and daughters.
The Republicans cheered when the
President read that part OF his mes
sage that stated this country would
have nothing to do with the League
OF Nations, as also did the people
when Christ was lifted upon the
cross.
The time will come when we as
. people will repent in sack cloth
with ashes on our heads. for this
action of ours, and in the mean time
We 90 ahead building the greatest
Navy in the world. which is well, un-
der the circumstances: but you and
] and our children will have to pay
the price.

THE MUD-SILLS

Farmers. suppose that every big
factory Of any kind paid it's employ
eos in what ever was being made In
that factory. As an illustration a
shoe mandatory would pay it's en-
ployees in shoes. a cotton manufac-
tory would pay them in calico. Each
employee would have to sell his shoes
or his calico on the open market, as
his necessity forced him.
We would like to ask you how long
would II be before the price Of shoes
and calico would be selling below
the cost OF production? You have
been selling your cotton in this man
ner for years. is II any wonder that
you are growing poorer and more dis
couraged with life.
In place OF being one Of the upper
logs in our social structure you are
. mud-sill bearing all the weight of
structure and getting none of the
benefits. II we have got to be mud
sills let's get paid for 1t by organizing
and employing some one to do our
selling for us.
The Oklahoma Cotton Growers As
ISOLATION proposes to do this for us.
It may not be success but II is
aimed in the right direction, and il
we can hold ourselves together in
the right direction. and II we can
hold ourselves to gether long enough
to keep from kicking to pieces. we
can make II success.
As It is now, and always has been.
Europe Prices our cotton and we are
forced to sell at that price. All
Europe Is now worse than bankrupt
and without friend to help in their
dire distress. They have no money
to pay for our cotton and OF course
it's selling at any old price some
speculator will give.
We can set the price in this coun-
try IL we will only have an organi-
zatiOn with teeth in its mouth, and
patience enough to give it time to
bring forth it's fruit.
