BILL INTRODUCED FOR
 RURAL AID

Washington, D. C.-Development of rural homes to the end that farm life may be more attractive is provided in bill reported favorably to the Sen ate by Senator Shoot, of Utah, chair man of the Senate Committee n>Pub- lie Lands.
 . This bill authorizes the Secretary of the Interior, through the United States Reclamation Service, to make contracts, first, for the Investigation, and later if found feasible, for the construction of projects for the recla- nation and development of lands in private ownership located throughout the United States. The proposed leg islation is unique in that it does not call upon the Public Treasury for any funds, not even for preliminary in vestigations or for the time given by Government officials to consideration of projects. First, the estimated cost and subsequently, the actual cost, both for investigations and construction, must be deposited with the United States in advance before any expense is incurred by the Government.
 The Secretary of the Interior is em- powered, after retaining and devel- oping the lands, to provide for their sale to home seekers, and he is enabled to limit the returns of the original landowners to a reasonable profit def initely stated in advance in each con- tract providing for the development of a project, in this manner promoting and safeguarding the, interests of the home seekers settling upon the land so developed.

MAY SELL ITS SHARES

The state corporation commission has given authority to the San Fran cisco Mountain Scenic Boulevard com pany to sell shares of 50,o90 for one dollar per share, the proceeds to be used in the building of scenic high way high up on the mountain above Flagstaff. The federal government has given the company permit for fifty years for a roadway up into the clouds and snows, wliere summer guests may bask in the cooling breezes from the snows or enjoy the piney woods farther down. The roadway, if built, will bring many people to Flagstaff to spend the heated spell. This enterprise has been in the hands of J. w. Weatherford for number of years and we expect him to bring it to a successful conclusion.

Sentinels thnt Guard tho Navy.

The United States has the longest
coast line Of any nation in the world.
1t is the best guarded, not only by
lighthouses, lghtships and buoys,
but by guard ships and life-saying
stations. The protection which these
marks afford is SO efficient that very
very rarely indeed do ships of the
navy or those Of the merchant ma
rine go amiss through the failure Of
the sentinels Of the sea.
Lightships, lighthouses, beacons,
post lights, fog signal stations, and
buoys Of every description, not
counting the hundreds of life-saying
stations, are always on the alert for
the vessels Of our navy and shipping,
and guide them safely into the snug
harbors along the coasts. And 1t Is
also important to mention that this
great chain Of sentinels was built up
by the American navy.
The new possessions Of the United
States have made an increased de-
mand on this branch Of the service
and it is indeed great service to
the people-Alaska, Porto Rico,
Guam, Philippine Islands. Hawaii,
Samoan Islands, and the recently ac-
quired Virgin Islands, have all been
cared for along this particular line,
and ships Of the navy, the merchant
marine and those flying the flags Of
all nations, know that their passage

DENIES REPORT OF POISON GAS.
Plan Not Feasible for Fighting the
Boil Wcevil.

Washington, Feb. 81. l.. Webb.
acting in charge Of Southern field
crop insect investigation, United
States Department Of Agriculture,
to-day denied the recent report that
the chemical warfare service of the
army, In cooperation with the De-
partment OF Agriculture, is prepar-
ing to exterminate the boil weevil in
the cotton belt by the use OF poison
gas.
There Is no foundation for The
report" Mr.. Webb said. mo plans
have been made or are in contempla.
tion by the Department Of Agricu!"
ture for the use Of poison gas in a
fight against the boil weevil.
Several times since the armistiCe,
the theory has been put forward that
the poison gas developed by the army
could be advantageously employed
in combating the boil weevil. It Is
safe to say that no one who under
stands all the conditions involved
has ever considered the plan as a
feasible one. The release in cotton
fields Of volumes Of deadly poison
gas would be to menace the life Of
every human being and animal with
in its reach. Furthermore, its effect
upon the boil weevil would be prob
lematical.
"Observations made by experts OF
the bureau Of entomology indlcaie Q
that higher dosage Of gas woull
be necessary to kill boil weevils than
would be necessary to kill human
beings.
'This bureau has developed a plan
Of boil weevil control which is safe
and effective. The plan involves tho
use Of arsenate Of lime, which Is
busted upon the cotton plants by
means Of machinery manufactured
for the purpose. 1t is possible, how
ever. by means Of this arsenate p,;.
son to keep down the number Of wee
wills to such an extent that a good
crop Of cotton can be raised.

Drug Smugglers Have New Device.

New York, Feb. 9.-An ingenious
drug-smuggling device used along
the water front to hoodwirk customs
inspectors has been revealed to-day
by DR.. Carlton Simon, special deputy
police commissioner. whose crusade
against vendors Of narcotics has re-
suited in seizures valued at thous-
ands OF dollars.
The newest contrivance OF the
smugglers, which was discovered by
detectives disguised as longshore-
mon, consists of small waterproof
bag, fastened to two small strips
OF wood. which keeps 1t aAoat. The
drugs, DR.. Simon explained, are
placed in the bag before the inspec-
tors board the vessel, and at con-
venient moment are thrown over
board within sight Of an accomplice
in a launch, who is usually not far
distant. Ostensibly gathering drift
wood, the confederate attracts little
attention as he gathers up the float
ing refuse. including the bag. and
heads for the shore.

to-day continued their efforts to fix
the identity Of the white man found
dying in the woods near here yester-
day. believed to have come from
Houston. Texas. The man was nude

then thrown into his camp fire. His
body bore evidence Of his having been
beaten with club. Kerosene appar-
emily was used to burn him. The in
itials "W. H." were tattooed on his

Is made safe into our harbors by
on the alert.
Ships Of the American navy are al
ways moving, the scenes are always
shifting, and the roles played by the
boys who man our vessels are full
OF thrills, because the eyes of the
great audience of the country are
watching their every action. The
government is ever on the lookout
for his protection. and in return he
is ever OH the lookout for the gov
ernment's interests.
Altogether there are 1882 light
houses, 3,0i6 post lights, So light
vessels, 55S gas buoys, 1923 un-
lighted aids to navigation, including
whistling buoys, bell huoys. fog sig
nails, day beacons and channel buoys.
These are the sentinels Of the sea and
shore which guard and watch over
1908 miles Of coast line.
One Of our greatest admirals re-
Gently said that If the coast lines Of
all the nations were as we'll protected
by lighthouses and life-saving facili-
Ties as are those Of the United States
the loss Of shipping and vessels of
other navies would be reduced al
most to nothing.

Of the swift little destroyers Of our
navy speeding by sentinel in
storm. You can't fool the camera,
but we will admit that this is an ex-
ceptional picture.

serve District are investing their
pennies and nickels and dimes in the

ed to $1.965, ,S7S.49, with per cap
ita investment Of 80 cents. For the
