had to stop in the middle of his SER

Jazz at any time is bad enough. but
to go to church and have to listen to
it is simply terrible.

Cooperative Effort

The great bulk of that reclamation
resulted from cooperative efforts par
ticipated in by the owners Of the land
who banded themselves together, lev
led assessments upon their land and
with the money so obtained con-
structed reservoirs, bitches, pipe lines
and laterals. They acted upon the
principle that every acre of land Is
entitled to definite amount of water
thus indorsing the principale laid
down later by President Roosevelt
that ownership of water apart from
the land is an economic crime.
IT is true in some cases, notably OF
Judge J. G. North, father OF the
Riverside Cali colony, the project
began as a speculative enterprise.
Judge North who hailed from Knox
Vile. Tenn, issued his first prospectus
in the spring of 1870. calling for 100
families who were able to invest
81 900 each in the purchase Of land.
and also inviting 'all, good. indus
trious people to Join us who can by
investing a smaller amount contribute
in any degree to the general pros
perity."
