IRRIGATION WHEELS
USED IN CALIFORNIA
Water Device Used to Irri-
gate Lands.

In certain portions of northern Cal
can be rendered very fertile only by
the addition of water. There are as
yet no government reclamation prof.
ects In operation in such districts on
any great scale and land owners In
many cases must rely upon their own
resources to Improvlse adequate lrri-
gation facilities Particularly is this
true along one narrow valley near the
Klamath river.
Along that stream have been placed
number of "irrigatOn wheels that,
In the aggregate. furnish nm adequate
supply of water for all kinds of crops
grains, grasses. orchards, vegetables,
etc. Generally, these wheels are about
so feet in diameter, and are strongly
built Of wood. Along the outer cir
conference are placed float boards
or paddles. The wheel is immersed
several yards In the water and the
impulse Of the current keeps the huge
wheel slowly revolving most of the
time. Placed Mt the interval OF every
few yards on the outside OF the wheel
are large boxlike metal buckets.
These are filed as they dip into the
water, are hoisted by the revolving
wheel to the top and the contents
poured into troughs on each side.
These timber water fumes lead Into
dltches dug along the steep banks Of
the stream Many of these ditch
fumes are miles in length.
AS these wheels run perpetually,
great stores of water are thus col
lected and distributed among the
thirsty crops of the ranchers for
leagues on both sides of the narrow
winding valley.
The only expense of the rancher is
the construction Of these wheels and
the digging Of the irrigation bitches.
The system furnishes its own power
as well as the DEMONSTRATING element
at the same time.

aEtOcrat!c control at every point OF
the whole third ticket venture. In
doing this he simply adhered to
methods which he has always fol-
lowed in Wisconsin and which have
made him the most powerful Ameri-
can state boss of the last two decades.
Mr. La Toilette has the support of
only one kown national political
group He is the socialist party's
candidate, and in most states he must
depend on the socialist machinery for
the utilization of whatever mass eff
fort may be said to be bJhind his
candidacy. He has with him his own
mislabeled republican machine in
Wisconsin, the farmer-labor machine
in Minnesota and the non-partisan
league in North Dakota, with its an
neXes in neighboring states. num-
Der of labor union leaders have
pledged him their support, but they
have no definite authorization to de-
liver the voters in the unions which
they represent.
The La Toilette candidacy was not
spontaneous and did not spring at all
from the people. The Wisconsin
senator has played the game of poll
tics d-bloodedly for forty years.
He is still playing it cold-bloodedly
His presidential campaign has been
made possible not by any demand
from the masses but by a concert of
higher-up agents, members of Con-
gress. union labor magnates, the
proprietary leaders of the close cor
poration socialist party and scatter
ing Spokesman of discomfort who
lack distinSuishable followings.
Not since presidential candidates
were designated by a congressional
caucus has a nomination been made
as patiently from the top as Mr.. La
Follette's. He is a self-seeking vol
unteer of dictatorial' ideas and habits
who has imposed himself on certain
loose elements striving to unite in
third party, and not in the least the
modest, Cincinnatus-like conscript
whom Mr.. Nelson enthusiastically
lauds.

AS Hiram Jones came into town he

on a small table, We're laid three silver

clerk: Il see you're selling shoes ac-
cording to poker rules.

"Well, give me two pair"

When the clerk returned with the

Flea-Piften America

Not being enough of an entomolo-
gist to know the designation for a
large body of tleas, whether flock,
covey, herd, band, or what not, | can
not, set down precisely the term for
these, in the aggregate, but it Is de
scriptive enough to say that this coun-
try of ours, the United States of
America, is at present infested with
more critical, censorious, propagandist,
revolutionary, reformatory, profess
si0nal, puritanical, cult, quack, politl-
cal, economic, salvationist empiriti-
cal, intelligentistiC visionary, literary,
artistic, financial and theological ileas

country since the dawn of time. That
Is a considered statement, and made

In his capacity as national manager
of the La Toilette campaign Repre-
sentative John NJ. Nelson told the re-
porters in Washington the other day
This is movement from the bottom
up, and not from the top down"
Such a statement may explain
Senator La Follette's choice of ma
tional chairman. 1t shows, at least,
that Mr.. Nelson has notable talent
for seeing things not as they are but
as he would like them to be.
The actual situation is exactly the
reverse. 1t would be hard to find in
American politics a movement less
from the bottom up and more from
the top down than the La Toilette
candidacy. In its inception and de-
velopment it has been strictly one
man affair. Mr.. La Toilette decided
when and how he would run for
President, wrote his own platform,
carefully selected the gathering to
have the honor of offering him the
nomination, declined absolutely to
recognize it as political party or to
assume any obligations whatever to
state or Congress candidates whom It
might put in the field, and assumed

When you jokingly knock wood"
after having expressed your satisfac-
ton at having escaped some accident
or malady, you are performing a
ceremony which is relic of Danish
custom founded on myth. Before
undertaking journey, it was the
custom of the old time sea captain of
Denmark and that part of the world,
to seriously tap the side of the craft
with his knuckles and it was thought
that this caused the elves of the
wood, which might otherwise be re-
sponsible for some mischief, to come
out and the vessel was then blessed
to insure a safe return.
