DRAINAGE PLANS
ARE NOT LIKELY
. TO GET j. s. AID
MesiIIa Valley Drainage Man
Tells ROtarianS They Can
Not Expect Help In Rio
Grande Project.

Drainage of the Rio Grande val
ley will probably have to be accom-
plished without federal aid, Mark
Thompson of Las Cruces told the
Rotary club members at the week
~ luncheon yesterday. Mr.. Thomp-
son for a time represented the
drainage interests in the Mesilla
valley. .
THE original purpose Of the fed
oral reclamation act was to re-
claim the unproductive land owned
by the government" Mr.. Thompson
stated. The service has fostered
movements to drain and irrigate
privately owned land only when
such work affected arid or unpro-
ductive government land. AS far
as can see the surest and quickest
way to drain the Rio Grande valley
is to make it private or state UNI
dertaking."
f. e. Lester. a Mesilla valley
farmer, told the Rotarians that the
Rio Grande valley must be drained
MS matter of self protection
The acres of unproductive land IN
| the valley hurt him as a farmer
and as a taxpayer they make hin
groan, he declared when he saw
the wastage of taxable value.
Aldo Leopold, chairman of tho
Rotary drainage committee. ad'
vised the members of the club tt
give the matter of fostering the
drainage of the valley further
! tbostoht hePoro undertaking tho
program. He suggested three
things that the club could do to ale
the drainage program: First, t.
aid useful legislation; second, tC
conduct an educational campaign
third, obtain speakers at the clut
luncheons who could inform the
members as to the details of The
undertaking.

America Makes ReServa-

(By The Associates Press,

Paris, Feb. "a (by the Associated
Press. Secrecy of the proceed
ings of the council of the league Of
nations today provoked lively spec
ulation as to the effect of the
American note on the members,
1t became known when the text of
the note was made public today
that the United States, in addition
to making reservations on the Is
land of zap, attributed to Japan,
as mandatory, claimed an equal
interest with other principal allied
and associated powers in the dis
position of the overseas possessions
of Germany
The theory has been advanced
that the only possible friendly So
luton would be for Japan to say
that she did not insist on the
mandate for zap and would be
agreeable to the internationaliza-
ton of zap under japanese super
visions.
Thus far Japan has not commit

might want to transfer from one
department to another. Mr., Hard
ing has expressed his admiration
for Mr. Honvcr's ability as an or
ganizer, and il is understood that
the former food administrator is
one of those he has considered as a
possible head of the commission.
Furthermore, Mr.. Hoover's re-
organization plans, as understood
here, seem to contemplate estab-

Harding has proposed for indus

the question raised by Mr.. Hoover.

are army hospitals. built hurriedly

A Cousin of Cary Sisters.


wanted was plenty of bandages'
A Cousin of Cary Sisters. -
Mrs Risley is a cousin of the
famous Cary sisters, Alice and
Phoebe, whom she visited as girl
and whom she remembers as be-
ing very delightful, and Poebe as
very witty. Mrs. Risley was born
in Ohio, of Massachusetts parent
age, and went with her father and
mother when she was three years
old to New Iberia, La, on the
Bayou Toche, the beautiful land Of
Evangeline." When the war broke
out, Mrs. Risley says, her family
was under suspicion because II of
being Yankees. Her father, Frank
lin Farmer, went to New orleans
and year later Mrs. Farmer and
Alice, then fifteen, after terrible
experiences when their very neigh
bors threatened to hang them as
spies, and they were fired at and
pursued, managed to follow him.
Crossing the Mississippi in a
frail skiff during terrible storm
at night, hiding under wharves,
going for hours without food, the
two finally reached safety in the
old French city more dead than
alive from hunger and exposure.
There for the next three years they
devoted themselves to caring for
the wounded, and when the hospi-
tails could not care for all of them,
took as many as five and six men
at time into their own homes and
nursed them back TO health.
One Nurse 100 Men.
81 have been in Il room all day.,
said Mrs Risley in speaking of her
hospital experiences "wherc there
were a hundred wounded men, the
only woman, and I only young
girl. The conditions surrounding
me made much older than girls of
the same age today. Mother and
I carried delicacies Day after day,
month after month, knew nothing
but sick and wounded soldiers"
What the care of these gentle
fingered women meant to some Of
the boys in blue as we'll as to the
men in gray can be imagined, and
was expressed in a beautiful poem
dedicated to "Alice," of the soft
touch, the quiet step, tho ready
smile, the angel" who helped them
live-or die.

nounccd here today by the ma
tionaI Lutheran council, will par
ticipate i'm worldwide celebra-
ton on April II of the 4OOth ami
versary of the arraignment OF
Martin Luther before the diet at
Worms,
"When Luther nailed his ninety
five theses upon the door of the
University of Wittenberg and re-
fused to recant his alleged here
sizes despite the threat of eXcom-
munication," says the state of the
council "he helped to usher in

Purpose of Celebration.
The main purpose of the celebrA-
ton, it is stated, is to obtain a
clearer understanding Of how Lu-
therans and Christians of other

world may become "more effective
in bringing Gods will to bear pow
erfully upon present unhappy
world conditions" To this end
special congregational services will
be held on Sunday, April II, and
at 4 p. IN. On that day, the hour
when Luther was summoned tC
confront his judges, all Christians
are invited to read the Scriptures
mediate and pray for purity ano
unity of the Christian faith, eff
fectiveness in all good work ant
the advancement of true Christian
liberty, brotherhood and universe

A message from the council, i'd
dressed to the Lutherans of every
land, recommended the quadricen'
tenary as "a fitting time to re-
view the benefits inherited from
Luthers unshakable utterance

"A century earlier John Huss ap

very similar charges and was

that but he went fearlessly forward

G. c. Marble Plaintiff in Equity
Hearing

Hearing was held before Chief
Justice Leslie c. Cornish on Thurs
day at Augusta on the mat
ter of the bill in equity brought by
Gerald c.. Marble of SkOwhegan
against Edward e. Barker OF Water
Vile to restrain Mr.. Barker from sell
ing granite or marble cemetery work
in the counties of Franklin and
Somerset until May 25, 1925.
Mr.. Marble claimed that Mr.. Bark
err was formerly in the granite and
marble business in Norridgewock
and sold his business in 1918 to MIR.
Marble, also selling him his good will
! According to the claim of the plain
! tiff. Mr.. Barker has since opened up
shop in Waterville and customers
come to trade with him from the
other two counties: that Mr.. Barker
has relatives in Somerset County and
has been there and has bee ngiyen
orders by residents Of that county.
He claimed that Mr.. Barker had sold
him his will in the two counties
Somerset and Franklin. and therefore
should not sell in those counties.
According to the claim of the de-
tense, Mr. Barker had not solicited
orders in Somerset and Franklin
counties, that he is within the law
and has a perfect right to open up
marble shop in Kennebec county
and sell his work to people in Som
erset and Franklin counties who vol
unfairly came to Waterville to buy.
Mr.. Marble was represented by the
law firm Of Merrill & Merrill Of Show
hogan. and Ellsworth Il. Peacock of
Waterville appeared as counsel for
Mr.. Barker. A number of witnesses
gave testimony in the case, and at the
conclusion of the hearing Chief Jus
tice Cornish reserved his decision.
