After Election

Today I met James Leatherhead-
had not seem him for while; he
passed me by with stately tread, he
did not note my bow and smile. |
called TO him, "Of. James, gee wlli:.
why do you play this arctic game ?"
He said, Your face familiar is, but
l do not recall your name. My
time is precious, gentle hick, | cam
not gossip on the street with every
Harry, Tom and Dick that | may
peradventue meet. I've seen your
features once or twice, but where or
when / do not know; in my large
lite you cut no ice, SO on your boot
less errand GO" This Leatherhead
but lately ran for Office of high
degree, and then l seemed useful
man, and he kept chasing after me-
Then, when l met him on the pike,
he'd fold me in his fond embrace,
and cry, We'll, we'll! So help me
Mike, its good to see your honest
face! Its good to meet a worthy
skate, as on my toilsome path
trudge; you know / am a candidates
I'd be elected county judge. Now
let me lean upon your neck and
breathe these tidings in your ear
The foenan is moral wreck. so
vote for me-your duty's clear"
Since. he. was victor at the polls
he's all swelled up with shoddy
pride; as down the village street he
strolls, he, does not see me where I
slide. He does not answer when I
nod, my charming smile he does not
note; so when he runs again I'll
prod his high ambitions with my
vote.

At present am busy man. have
recently been elevated from Dean of
Education and Principal of Grade
Schools to Dean of the College (South
Park Junior College) and Principal of
our large High school. The reason
am busy is that l am holding two
positions, and will be until school
closes.
We have a grade enrolment of
1.4OS; a high school enrolment of
465; a college enrolment of $50. We
will graduate from the grades, $50;
from the high school 70, and from the
Junior College. 8. The prospects for
a big enrolment this summer and next
year look good. We anticipate an en-
rolIment of over 300 in the college
next year. Out of 81 Junior colleges
in the state, we are the first to be
given a rating of "a" class, both by

EVAPORATED MILK ASSN.

Representatives of almost all of the
Evaporated Milk Manufacturers of the
country recently met in Chicago and
organized the Evaporated Milk Asso-
citation. Mr. L. R. Hardenbergh of the
Carnation Milk Products company was
elected chairman; C. 7. Lee of Nestles
Food company, vice chairman; e. G.
AnneI Oatman Condensed Milk COM
pany, treasurer. Other members of
the Executive Committee are w. T.
Nardin, Pet Milk Sales Corporation;
c. S. Parsons The Borden company;
H. C. Carr Libby, Mcneil & Libby;
and ]. F. Enz, Danish Pride Milk Pro
ducts company.
The Association will inaugurate a
campaign of education directed to the
housewives of America, featuring the
wholesomeness OF Evaporated milk;
and the economy of distributing a bill
lion quarts of milk each year in tin
cans.
1t has taken more than thirty years
of painstaking effort to bring this
method of marketing milk to the pres
ent high state of perfection. The new,
handy, sanitary, tin can now in use,
makes possible the distributing of milk
Of the best quality to millions of homes
combining purity with freshness and
high quality with lowest possible cost
Mr.. Herbert C. Hooks, well-known
throughout the milk industry, and a
member of the committee representing
the industry in the Food Administra-
tion during the war, has been selected
to conduct the activities of the new
association.
Mr.. Hooks has been active as
manufacturer of Eyapuated Milk since
1906 when he became identified with
the Hires Condensed Milk Company at
Philadelphia. Having served in all the
departments of a rapidly growing busi-
ness, Mr.. Hooks became General
Manager in 1911, continuing until 1918
when the Hires Company combined
with others to form Nestles Food COM
pany. He recently resigned the treas
urership of this company in order to
administer the work of the Evaporated
Milk association.

THE CALL OF THE HOME
(By Miles Cannon, Director Of Farm
Econimics, U. S. Bureau of
Reclamation

| Wy Nhlioo NellllOl DlltCIuI Ol
Econimics, U. s. Bureau of
Reclamation.)
| Irrigation already has elevated agri-
cultural activities to the dignity of
science. In every walk of life there is
a constant Transformation from the
older to the newer methods. This evo-
luton applies to the business of farm
ing as well as to merchandising and it
is well for the producer to keep up
with the times.
Agriculture is the foundation stone
of human progress. During the year
1919, when the public debt was at the
highest point in our history, the agri-
cultural crop, including live stock,
amounted to more than seventeen bill
lion dollars, which was within seven
billion dollars of the total national debt
that year. The field and range support
the entire superstructure of civiliza-
tion. Our military and naval forces
function only by the fruits of the farm
er's toll. 1t has been said that if agri-
cultural activities should cease for a
period of one year humanity would
perish from the earth.
1t follows, therefore, that one of the
fundamental duties of a government is
to promote, as far as possible, a practi-
cal progressive and successful agricul-
tural policy. This is the underlying
principle of the national reclamation
act
The western mountain region offers
an interesting phenomenon. While the
farmers of the humid sections are con-
tending with floods and droughts, the
reclamation farmers of the West are
administering the moisture to their
land under the most scientific and
practical conditions. The mountains
reaching up into the clouds receive
from the elements their annual tribute
of snow. The spring floods are stored
in vast reservoirs, constructed by the
government, and transmitted with un-
erring regularity and at the very hour
when needed to the farmers fields in
the valley below.
Being relieved Of the uncertainty
and detrimental effects or irrigation by
rainfall, the producer is put in position
to enlist in his support the highest
degree of science and thereby increase
production to the maximum He is
likewise, by the use of artificial irri-
cation enabled to diversity production
and, what lis of equal Importance,
beautify and make attractive his place
of abode. These are some of the dis
tinctive features awaiting the atten-
tion of capable, industrious and de-
serving citizens on the western recla-
nation projects.
The government having reclaimed
and the water users having under ac-
tual cultivation more than one million
two hundred thousand acres OF land,
with additional acreage soon to be
available, it is essential that the mer-
its OF western reclamation be in
vestigated. During 1928 these lands
produced in excess OF $4,000, 900. The
government is now operating approx
imately $4,000 miles of canals, ditch
es and drains 600 miles OF pipe lines,
and 140 miles OF fumes, with still
other projects under contemplation.
A beneficient government having
made these opportunities available,
we will next Investigate the economic
features of the farm units

The way in which his condolences

Of marriage determines his future
course in this matter.
If wife looks bored, after the first

about new hat she thinks she'll

But if she listens with real in

word Of good advice occasionally;
if she shows that she is interested in
her husbands business because of
what it means to him, not only be-
cause of what it buys for her; if she
guards his business secrets-then the
question of her rights" never comes
up. Her husband naturally comes

Dear Miss Lee: I wonder whether you
can help a worried man? My wife, whom
1 love dearly. is angry at me because I did
not tell her aobut very important bust
ness deal She says she had a right to
know about IT,
Now. Miss Lee. she is wonderful wife.
but she has one failing She can't keep a
secret She tells her mother everything.
and usually tells a few other people. When
we were first married. Ave years ago.
used to tell her all about my business al
fairs. But she spoiled a couple of big
plans by telling them so I stopped.
Should risk my whole career by telling
her my business secrets? I don't know
what viii happen If l don't.
WORRIED HUSBAND.
Tell your wife the truth. She
will be angrier than ever, of
course, but let her have 1t straight"
Explain that you want her to share
your business interests, but that it
is impossible so long as she fails to
keep them secret.
When she gets over her anger,
you might test her by confiding
fairly unimportant business mat
tiers. If she stands these tests. you
may take a chance on larger affairs.
