MUCH ADO ABOUT MONEY

If you save all you earn, you're a
miser. If you spend all you earn,
you're fool. If you lose it, you're
out If you owe it, they're always
after you. If you lend it, you're al
evil. It's the cause of good. It's the
cause OF sorrow. It's the cause of hap
piness. If the government makes it.,
it's all right. If you make it, it's all
wrong. AS a rule, it's hard to get.
But it's pretty soft when you get it.
1t talks. TO some it says, i've come
to stay" To Others it whispers, Good
by."

with this an army Of approximately
100000 men labored last year
throughout the road construction
season in building and repairing the

BAKER WINS COURT DECISION
IN lClCLE CANAL co. DISPUTE
Court Holds c. 4. Black Cannot As.
sumo Assets OF lcicle Canal Com
pany without Taking on Liabilities.

World; Superior Judge W. A.
Grlmshaw has decided the case of c,
A. Back, as assignee of the Icicle
canal COMPANY against Harry Baker
ana others, IN IA 5or of the defendants
In this case Black sued to recover So
S99 and interest since 1915 alleged Ia
be due under contract between the
Icicle Canal and Baker for the sale of
a water right.
Baker did not dispute the validity of
the contract, but set I'D that the
Icicle Canal Co. never delivered the
amount OF waite agreed UPON and
that later the company become de-
funct and was succeeded by the pres
ent district which proceeded to re-
build and feiina1ce the system. levy
ing heavy asse = ments against the
land owners to Ply for these improve
ments.
The defendant also set I'D a claim
for damages against Black and the
!clcle Canal Company for failure to
furnish the water stipulated in the
contract.
In his decision, Judge Grimshaw re-
views the history of private irrigation
companies In the state and the entire
country, stating that competent au-
thortles agree that not one of them
has ever been other than a financial
failure.
Most of them have been succeeded
by reclamation districts or co-opera-
tive associations which proceed to do
what the origina, company contracted
to do but failed; and to pay for the
work in addition to what had already
beer invested By the users. In as
Stunning the oblige tons of the original
companies, the districts usually find
no assets, and have to levy assess
ments to carry on the work. The
charges necessar,' to complete and
MAINTAIN the irrigation systems are
usually much higher than was provid-
ed in the original contracts.
If the lcicle Canal Company can
pass its contracts on to some one else,
then the person who takes it must
necessarily De bound by the contract
as 1t originally existed. The Icicle
Canal Company being unable to per-
form its contract it is also unable to
recover on the contract as though it
had performed it or was capable of
performing it.
The District has not assumed or at
tempted to assume the liabilities of
the contract Or the evidence before
the court it would seemingly be the
perfect right of the defendants and
all ether contract holders to recover
substantial damages against the Icicle
Canal Company. The company being
apparently defunct, there is no such
remedy existing from a practical
standpoint.
In conclusion Judge Grimshaw finds
as follows: II Feel constrained to
find for the defendants in this action.
Plaintiff has no. performed its con-
tract, plaintiff cannot perform its
contract and ha0 voluntarily broken
its contract and rendered it inpos-
sible Of performance. The defendants
are entitled to po hence without pay
and have their CO It's against the plain
tif.'

FARM WOMEN SAVE
SEVEN YEARS TINE.
Five Hundred Women Benefited; Use
Labor Saving Devices.

Five hundred and one farm women
in the state of W shington, saved
seven years time in their daily house
hold work by u.s. q labor saving de
vices during the past year The old
excuse: Of only had time, would
like to do this or that" is beginning
to fade away as a past experience Of
these women.
Through the use Of commercial and
home made labor saving devices,
recommended b. Miss Minerva Law
renee, home management extension
specialist Of the State College, these
women have saved seven years OF ac-
tual time in doing tFeir house work.
When this time is divided between the
five hundred it makes a saving Of five
and half days, or nearly a week, dul-
ing the year.
These labor saving devices include
such articles as bread mixers, dish
drainers, freless cookers, gasoline
irons, pressure cookers, steam cook
ers, utility tables, vacuum sveepers.
long handled dust pans, mop wing
ers, fruit driers, washing machines.
oil stoves and iceless refrigerato S.
Many of these labor savers were
tried out in testing circles organized
by Miss Lawrence an the horne en-
onstration agents located in the var
ious counties. In order to find out
just how much time was saved by
using this equipment, actual time was
taken by most of the five hundred
women in doing the household jobs
one week withou. using the time saw
ers and by using them, and a record
made.
Many farm women would have time
to Go a little something else, if they
would try out some of these labor saw
ers and make use of them. If the 500
farm wives have saved five and half
days in a years time by using better
home methods, others would be able
to save time if they would but try.

Considerable sentiment is being ex

change due to the dedication service
at Lawrence when the new athletic
stadium is to be formally dedicated to
the Kansas university men and women
who paid the supreme sacrifice in the
