ty of Dubuque star, lately with the
Mississippi Valley League. Nee is
University of Illinois star, lately with
the Detroit Tigers.

good games yet.
Out of the last five games played
the local team has knocked pitcher
ont every game. Mohard of Shulls-
burg. bit the dust August 30 and
Davenport for the Beloit Fairies took
the same trip that day. Last week
McAreavy went down Wednesday,
HoIIenbeck, Thursday, and Yeager,
Friday. This indicates the kind OF
stick work the locals are putting up.
A year ago the Richland County
Fair built what is termed the finest

At the time it was built an error oe-

the view of the track. The officials
proposed to correct the fault by build
ing a new race course, locating it in
relation to the new grand stand so
that every foot of it is easily seen
from any seat in the stand. They &C
complished that very thing Now they

FRENCH AND ENGLISH
WANT CONFERENCE POSTPONED

Boulogne, Feb. 26.-Agreement to
the postponement Of the Genoa eco
nomic conference until April 10 was
reached by Premier Poincare of
France and Prime Minister Lloyd
George of Great Britain at their con-
ference here yesterday. The confer
ence originally was called to meet
March s.
Mr.. Lloyd George said after the
conference there would be no neces-
sity for a further discussion of the
Franco-British pact, as both parties
were entirely agreed as to all its es-
sentials. The pact would be ready for
signature in few days, he added.
The two premiers by their meeting
broke the deadlock into which a
brief trial of long-range discussions,
after the old diplomatic style, appear
ed to have led them on questions con-
cerning the Genoa conference. This
was accomplished in four-hour con-
versation during which they reached
a full understanding not only as to
the conditions under which the Genoa

gave newspapermen soon after the
accident.
He said he cut his way out of the
Roma after the fire had burned
small hole in the fabric of the big
gas bag. He also said the ship was
not on fire while in the air but ignited
after it fell across big electric wire
at the army supply base and landed
on pile Of iron.
Mr.. Sims, in his testimony, said:
"Just before the Roma started on
her fatal nose dive, she seemed to
buckle up close to the bow, apparent
ly bringing the nose Of the ship from
left to right.
.'It looked to me that there was
dead weight in the bow. The nose of
the ship sagged, leaving me with
the impression that there was no gas
in that part of the ship. She appeared
to lose her buoyancy.

Mr.. Sims was one of the first per-
sons to reach the Roma when she fell
and took Major j. D. Reardon to the
public health hospital in his automo-
bile.
Captain G. B. West, of the medical
corps, was a witness and testified
as to the nature of the burns of the

The question as to whether dis

at the results of their talk. Premier

time.
The official communique issued af-
ter the conference read:
"Messrs. Poincare and Lloyd

hour talk during which they examin-

number of problems, particularly re-

Irrigation in America.

Q INCE the government through its reclamation
y service began the delivery of water on lands
of the arid and semard districts of the West crops
produced upon the reclaimed land have exceeded
in value S4ooooo,ooo, not including the value of
livestock and stock products, the increase in which
was due to irrigation. These lands increased in
value because of irrigation, in OF 5000 ooo
During the year 1920 according to the report
of Director A. P. Davis of the reclamation service
areas aggregating 2845,ooo acres served and
these produced crops of total value of approx
mately SI14,ooo,ooo.
These figures most potent in demonsrat-
ing the value of irrigation in the semarid regions
and they prove that the reclamation service is we'll
worth what it has cost, says the Ledger of Tacoma
Wash
1t must be remembered that the cost of con-
structng irrigation systems by the government is
not that much money spent for improvements of
which the government wa get direct return.
The irrigator pays for the water supplied him, the
payments being spread over term of years The
money derived is used by the reclamation service in
extensions of existing districts and in the erection
of new, so that eventually when the limit of
clamation has been reached the money will again
find its way back to the Federal Treasury.
Even though not one cent of the cost of re-
clamation paid back, still the government would
be repaid in the increase of land values and the
consequent taxes that would be paid thereon.
1t is not good business for the nation to wait
during the years required for the reimbursement of
the Treasury for the amount given to the reclama-
ton service. Homes for the people are urgently
needed, and added production of foodstuffs is i'm
perative if the nation is to thrive.
There should be liberal treatment of the serv-
ice by Congress, in the matter of appropriations for
an extension of the irrigated area for by such far
sighted liberality hundreds of millions of dollars
may be added to the valuation of the nations lands
and more hundreds of millions to the production of
foodstuffs, while the problem of how to find homes
for the people will be, to a considerable degree,
solved.
