TAKE STEPS To
PROTECT WATER
IN RIO GRANDE
Texas Lawmakers Urge
Coolidge to Name
Commissioners.
MEXICO IS AGREED
Would Determine Right to
lrrigate From Bor-.
der River.

Washington. ID. C., Ajrii 3.-ThC
first step towards conservation of the
waters Of the Rio Grande and theiI
equitable division between the United
States and Mexico was taken today
when Senator Sheppard and Represen.
tahve Garner introduced nthe Senate
and House respectively a resolution
calling for appointment by the Pres
ldent OF three special commissioners to
study this question and report back TO
Congress.
1t is provided that one of the COM
mlssioners shall be an engineer ex-
perienced in irrigation work and that
the survey shall consider the territory
below Fort Quitman. $4,000 being ap-
propriated for the expenses of these
commissioners.
Would Name Commissioners
The text of the resolutions follows:
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House Of Representatives that the
President is hereby authorized TO des-
lgnate three special commissioners TO
cooperate with representatives of the
United States and Mexico in a study
regarding the equitable use of the
waters of the Rio Grande below Fort
Quitman. Tex. with view of their
proper utilization for irrigation and
other beneficial uses. One of the COM
missioners SO appointed shall be an en-
gineer experienced in such work. Upon
completion of such study the results
shall be reported TO Congress"
The resolution was introduced at the
suggestion of c. ii. Pease. secretary of
the Lower Rio Grande Water Users
Association. In urging such action,
Pease pointed out to sponsors of the
measure that there are now approxi-
mately 100000 acres of land in the
Rio Grande Valley under irrigation
and while this consumes practically
the entire normal flow of the river.
that canals have been laid which
would serve 100000 acres of land.
Must Reach Agreement.
There is no existing iega' regula-
tons under which the water of the
Rio Grande can be used for irrigation"
declared Pease.
I'VE are merely taking ii despite a
treaty that does not permit its use
by either the United States or Mex
leo. and the development has gone
as far as it can without definite
understanding as TO the legal rights of
both nations. That is what should be
without further ado. As it
stands there is nothing TO prevent
Mexico taking much of this water be-
fore 1t reaches the Rio Grande as Ga |
per cent comes from Mexican sources.
II we have a definite understanding. |

ELECTRICITY ON
FARM To Be
TESTED
Universities Plan to Establish
Complete Equipment for
Rural Community.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 23.-The
University of Minnesota, cO-operat-
Ing with the Northern States Power
Company and electrical machinery
manufacturers, is establishing q
complete electrified rural commu-
nifty in southern Minnesota to test
out practicability of general use Of
electric power on the farm.
The General Electric Company,
the Western Electric Company, the
Westinghouse Company, and the In.
ternational Harvester Company are
among the concerns interested In
the project. These companies are
Installing appliances on twenty
farms on six-mile power line near
Red Wing, Mimi, where exhaustive
research and experiments are to be
carried on.
Machinery will be tried out to de-
termine feasibility of blowing by
electricity and for employing power
In hitherto uildeveloped uses. Two
types of plows will be used, one
carrying storage batteries and the
other supplied by current by cable.
Development of beef cattle watered
by fresh streams from electrically
pumped wells will be compared with
herds watered from ordinary farm
yard troughs. Increased income
from chickens raised in electrically
lighted chicken houses will be noted!
Special electrically driven conveyors
will be used to determine exact say.
ing in labor and other costs.
Engineers Of the Northern States
Power Company assert that use of
electricity on the farm has not
proved practical SO far, due to high
cost of distribution. The company
for these experiments has worked
out a special rate that will encour-
age use of current generally. A
recent analysis Of thirty-two rural
power lines in Wisconsin, serving
], 452 farmers, disclosed no line was
paying expenses. 1t is the theory
that II electrical energy is used
generally on the farm it will pay
by helping the farmer greatly to
increase his farm income.

Tulsa, Oklahoma, l
Comfort Loving
City

Tulsa, Okla, twenty four
years ago was just a typical
Southwestern village of $50
inhabitants and no particular
promise. Then, somebody struck
oil. Today, Tulsa, with an esti-
mated population in excess of
100000 people, is known as the
millionaire city Of the Southwest.
1t is the capital Of the mid
continent oil field and is, for its
size, one Of the largest electric
fan using cities of the country.
The yearly average tempera-
ture of Tulsa is 81 degrees and
it often goes up to 1O5 in the
shade, with little or no shade
to be found" Therefore, cleo

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-

to become diseased
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
