COLORADO "HOGS, WATER.
Irrigation Commissioner Knapp Sug.
gests Interstate Agreement

Because Colorado farmers are "hog-
gish" about the water of the Arkansas
river, for purposes of irrigation, the
farmers Of both Colorado and Kansas
are suffering, according to the bien-
NAL report of George S. Knapp, state
irrigation commissioner, submitted to
the state board of agriculture Wednes-
day. Knapp points out that the Colo
RADIO farmers, who get first chance at
the water, take more than they need,
and as a. result their land is water
logged and thousands of acres have
been turned to seepage and waste.
while other thousands of acres of Kan
sas land are barren because there is
not enough water for them.
Knapp suggests a special commits
sion to work with the Colorado au-
thorities toward a solution of the diff
ficulty.
He also suggests the sale of the
|state-owned irrigation plants at Modoc
and Selkirk, now leased to farmers.
No information of any value is being
received from these plants under their
present management. and the continu-
alton of the present plan means waste
of time and depreciation of the equip
meTit of the plants.

PLAN DOUGLASS REUNION
Surviving Members of Famous House
To Meet Here February Is.

surviving Members of Famous House
To Meet Here February is.
Surviving members of the famous
Douglass house in 1893 will meet in
Topeka February Is. The reunion
will be held in celebration of the
famous session in which the doors of
representative hall were battered
down with sledge hammer.
There are some thirty living MEM
bers of the Douglass house who are
expected to attend the twenty-eighth
annual reunion in Topeka. The fam
Gus session grew out of the election
of 1892 when the Populists carried
the state. Control of the house was
in dispute and J. M. Dunsmore was
elected speaker by the Populists
while George L. Douglass was the
Republican speaker. They sat side by
side for six weeks. A Republican
chaplain would pray. Then Populist
chaplain prayed. A Republican clerk
called the roll. Then Populist called
it.
The outcome was much legal war
fare and call by Governor Lewelling
for state troops. Col. J. w. F. Hughes
refused to obey an order to dispense
the Douglass house. He was court
martialled by the Populists and later
made adjutant general by Governor
Morrill,.

They plan to spend 100000 and en-

they will feed $4,000 people. OF course
this is a lot but not nearly what is
needed to feed the starving here. The
men think that by spring two million
people in our field will be starving. If
i you know any one who wants to give
money away tell him to send it along.

ARMISTICE DAY OBSERVANCE.

Newest of the nations holidays is Armistice Day and attaching
t, it and to its observance there should be a deep and tender sig
nificance which should place it in Importance beside the comtry's
natal day, the Fourth of July. Marking, as it does, the cessation of
the greatest, bloodiest and most hidious war the world has known
its anniversary should be a day of great rejoicing just as has been In.
dependence Day, but there attaches to it also recolections and men,
cries of sadness and sorrows which bring about the bowling of the
head, the moistening of the eyes with tears, a tenderness of sentiment
chasm' was bridged. 1t further differs from independence Day since
those of all nativties may unite in its observance while the Nations
Birthday has appealed chiefly to the American born, especially to
those whose family tree spreads from the early colonial days in Amer
lea.
So new is Armistice Day that there has not been time for the
growing up of customary celebrations and observances that attach to
it combining as it should sincere thankfulness that the bloody DAYS
are passed, a sense of sorrow at the worlds losses in the flower of
manhood and an honOring Of the bravery and the chivalry Of those
who rallied to the cause of humanity.
This year in Hawaii territorial wide observance is planned. In
Honolulu a program is being arranged conformity between the Lee
giOn, the army, the navy and general ctizenry. It is being left to each
community of the Islands to determine on the nature of the observ-
ance except that for two minutes all business and every occupation
shall pause and utterly cease when all may bow their heads in rev.
erential prayer of thanksgiving and supplication and in memory of
the heroic dead.
1t is natural the American Legion should take the initiative in
the observance of Armistice Day but there is no reason why all of the
arrangements of the program should deyOlve on members of that or
ganization. If there be a holiday which belongs to the whole people
yes, to the whole world it is Armishce Day. To the members of the
mination of dangers and personal hardship, the restoration of loving
ties. To the rest of the world it marks the return of peace and safety
to them, the permanent removal Of a terrible menace, the return to
