scarce. The officers were inclined to
favor themselves in the distribution of

and many assertions. The start for
Mexico was made in the spring, and
when Coronado led his little force

allowed to resume his post as governor
of western Mexico. but his prestige
was gone and in a short time he was
removed from office.

warriors of Cibola refused to treat

Coronado gave his battle cry of "Santi-

works by horsepower.
The noria of old has become the
waterwheel of today. and it has per-
sisted wen to the present time and into
American agricultural life. Water

dip wheels. are still in use in some ir-
rigation areas of the west.

inventions spanning many generations.
the pump emerged, everything was
changed. Anticipated devices rapidly
gave Nay, and the pump became the
thing. To those who admire the per-
s~istent, invincible march of human
genius. the history of the pump is in
deed fascinating. From the period of
Leonardo da Vinci, down through the
time Of James Watt, Of steam engine
fame. pumps, at first mechanically
driven. hen operated by steam power,
gasoline, hot air engines and finally by
electricity, have done the bulk Of water
lifting for the varied purposes of man.
Pump and Motor Team Up
In irrigation, the centrifugal pump
has been exceptionally popular because
of it's simplicity. economy and ease of
installation. This efficient apparatus.
with it's power unit, has stood stunchly
on the firing line in the battle to re-
claim desert lands and transform them
into regions of abundance.
In recent years, since the electric
motor has won increasing favor as the
power source, the progress Of irriga-
ton has been immense. The electric
motor is declared to be revolutionizinr
power supply methods, just as the mod
ern pump revolutionixed water lifting
methods.
To the many people who have not
followed irrigation closely, this phase
of American farming life has achieved

but the gilded romano is there for
those who care to see.
In the United States at large. this
bulletin reveals, 10 million acres are
under irrigation. Previously those IS
million acres were desert lands-un-
productive-arid at best. Today they
are fertile to the utmost degree, yield
ing big crops, of amazing value, and
representing a total capital investment
of nearly $4,000 900.
Five Hundred Million In Profits
The yield and the revenue from
these 10 million acres-which. previous
to irrigation, be it remembered, We're
just sun-parched desert territory
complete the record of the great
miracle. Figures for 1919, the most
recent compiled by the government,
show that nearly 5000. 900 bushels Of
cereals-corn, oats. wheat. barley. rye,
kafir, milo and rice-were raised that
year on irrigated lands and that their
market values was S1SJ. 000. 900. There
were also raised eleven and a half mill
lion tons of hay and forage, the value
of which was S246, 266,00o; 1871, 600
600 pounds of grapes. valued at 1885,

(The Stratford Company. Boston.
publisherD a
Between Scarlet Thrones" is one
of the exceedingly rare modern
books laid in the Old Testament
time. during the life Of Elijah.
The tale begins on the Faust"
theme. with Ahab. king of Samaria
selling his soul to Satan for broad
lands and a beautiful wife. But the
ill-won wife Is the wicked JezebeL,
who brings him neither love nor
comfort. but installs the worship of
Baal with all the idols and train Of
priests into the palace. .
Unhappy days then fall upon the
land. and upon the Kingdom of
Israel. which Ahab conquers. Jez-
ebel Is also a servant of Satan, and
debauchery and destruction are
rampant in the palace and in the
kingdom.
In the midst of the greatest feast
ever given to the god Baal. Elijah
appears and puts a curse upon the
king and his queen. Although every
eHort is made to capture and kill
the prophet. it is of no avail, and
the queen and the king come to a
brutal and well-merited end.
Through the tale .uns the beauti-
full theme OF the love OF Carmel and

OF the good Naboth. whose orchards

causes the maid to be delivered into

delivered safely from all the dan
gers that beset her.

with the works of the devil over-
come by the children Of Israel. who
triumph in their constancy to their

RARE WIT OF F.P. A.

oyerset, by F. P. A. doubleday

How seldom is the author who ac-
curately titles his book. ''Overset"
Is the newspaper term for material
set up in type which is crowded out
OF the paper for lack OF space. So,
properly. all OF F. p. As book reads
just like the famous Coming Tow

exception that no contributors are
horning in. Which helps out.

As daily grist is subjoined at times
with that of glancing over newspaper
files Of no recent date. There are
comments on the Dempsey-Carpentier
fight training. the Harding inaugura-
| tion. the Edison questionable, Roscoe
Arbuckle and even of the Harding Cox
contest--all in the contemporary tone.
All are clever and some super-clever;
but many OF the little jests seem to
be bit downcast, a bit seif-conscious
at being dragged from the comfort
able impregnability OF the Coming
Tower to the doubtful glory and
too shining mark OF a real book with
orange and green covers.
