IRRIGATION DIST.

With receipt Of an official permit
from the war department allowing
weir construction in the Colorado
river for diversion purposes in
event of further lowering of the
waters, officials Of the Imperial Ir-
'igation district are arranging to
day for n $J00,OO0 bond which must

Although the discharge in the
Colorado river nt the Grand Canyon
Monday was l0,500 feet or 440O feet
less than the same day Il year ago.
officials do not believe there Will
be necessity for weir construction
before the end of the month, and
thcy are hopeful northern rains will
result in a big increase in the dis

Officials point out that with less
acreage planted in cotton this year,
the demands of wafer users will not

MAN THE IMITAToR.

Tn his number moments, when the deeds of the angels and archangels are brought to his attention, man has been wont to call himself but a worm of the dust; but now a French scientist, Lucien Cuen- tot, declares man is but an imi- tator of the lower forms of anil nal life, and that many of his most boasted inventions have been used by the bugs for ages. To make the humiliation of man complete, the scientist says he is but poor imitatol at that, and the inventions of insects and animals are always more perfect and worked out with more detail than those of man. Even the camouflage of the war is as old as the hills among the lower animals, he says, and the grasshopper has used a torpedo tube from time immemorial to plant it's eggs low in the ground. Even the patented fastener, only in- vented by man about forty years ago, has been used by the cuttlefish to button it's out CT skin on ever since there has been a buttlefish, while the file, the anchor, the rail, the groove, and the art of dove tailing have always been used by the lower animals. The in- vention of musical instruments is stolen from the insects.

is ever amazing, but that of today would be inexplicable but for one thing more than all others. That is advertising. In the newspapers, magazines and poster boards children are finding a vast storehOuse of practical and useful inform ation and instruction. The value of this incidentally ac- quired knowledge can not be measured in classroom hours. The youth of America is find- ing that advertising pays it.
 Psychologists have expound- ed the theory that truths are sometimes observed first by the adolescent. In the case ot advertising it may truthfully be said that there are some of mature age who have not yet learned the value of adver- Using. Advertisers do not buy newspaper, magazine and bill board space for the edification of the public, either juvenile or adult, but they recognize the children of today are not only a potent factor in the business of today but the de- ciding factors in the business of tomorrow.

division of the American Min ing Congress. F. H. Brownell, of the American Smelling and Refining Co.,, suggested that the American government ex- press itself to India in protect ion of the silver industry.
 ''If the United States" he said, through it's treasury de- partment, Federal Reserve Banks and banking houses, strongly urges India not to sell this silver, it will be effective.
 "The United States could agree" he continued "that should there be a rapid rise in the price of silver, that ir would sell silver to India or England below the melting point of the silver rupee. Sil- yer mining companies in the United States could agree with the government that in case of such emergency rise in price, American silver would be sold at a price fixed by the government, not higher than the melting point of the rupee and not less than 70 to 75 cents per ounce. Such agree ment might run for 10 or 20 years, during which the India currency system could be worked out without injury to silver. India can secure gold by issuing bonds, and not by the sale of silver, which bonds could bepurchased in the Unit ed States"
 Mir. Brownell also suggested that the government and American financiers could use their influence to promote the adoption of silver for smhsid;- ary coinage in Europe.

THE SILVER SITUATION

The recent decline in silver to forty-one cents, following the announcement that India may adopt the gold standard and incidentally dispose of some 400,000,000' ounces of that metal, has created a situation that is causing considerable apprehension among silver producers, despite the fact that authorities on the subject are agreed that the outlook is by no means as serious as it appears at first glance. And all are practically unanimous in the view that the price will not only return to higher levels b,l: also that the present de- preciation will not tend to a dianinuation in the general vol me of silver production, at iaa5t ln the United States.
 I4ellded in the various fact CTS mentioned as likely to pre- vent serious injury to silver production, one of the most im- po.tant as seen by various writers is the fact that India herself is likely to find con- siderable difficulty in introduc- iny a substitute for the small silver coinage which forms the au4il of the legal tender used by the masses. Another is the probability. that it will take the government much longer time than anticipated to re- deem outstanding notes and se- cure the release of outstand- ing silver coinage, vast quanti- ties of which are said to be hoarded up by the common people. @A
 Several writers also express che view that the Indian gov ernment is not likely to do anything which will unduly d"rress :!le price Of silver, for the reason that such action would tend to it's own injury " arousing a probable lack of confidence in its money and hinder it's efforts to replace silver. ts
 As far as the United States 5 ccT crr ed, it is pointed out that it IS probable that this government can do much tc maintain the value of silver In a statement before the re. cent meeting of the Western
