Dovie thought suddenly Of a story
she had heard Of a man who sold
his home and searched the world
for wealth and when he was an old
man learned that his back yard had
been discovered to be a great dia-
mond mine. She didn't remember
where she had heard it. but it
struck her with considerable force.
That is just what she had done.
Dovie flung herself out OF the
room and locked herself into her
own bedroom. Anything to get
away from her mother. with her
rasping voice and her bitter tongue
and always being reminded that ev-
cry bad break the Jansen family
ever had vas because her mother
was sacrificing for her. At times
she did have a little feeling for
the woman who brought her into
the world, but at odd moments
cnly, when on rare occasions things
went smoothly for a time.
Mamma Jansen went to her own
room and decided she had a severe
headache. She put ice in a bag
for her head and took a headache
tablet Then she lay down TO think.
It vas a wild ideal But neces-
sity was necessity. And Just as
suddenly as Mrs. JanSen's headache
had appeared it disappeared. She
rose hurriedly and started to dress.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
Water Application Called Menace

Irrigation interests see a real menace TO the contlnu-
ed prosperity OF the Valley in the application Of J. a.
Franklin Of Edinburg for permission to divert suf-
ficient water from the Rio Grande 70 supply a tract
Of more than $4,000 acres.
Existing irrigation systems Of the section have JON
ed in opposing the applications before the Texas
board OF water engineers.
Ten thousand farmers Of the Rio Grande Valley
have been urged to sign petitions TO the engineers
asking that the permit be denied.
Now Cameron county commissioners are on record
in a resolution addressed to the state board opposing
granting Of the application.
There is no lack Of water, competent engineers VINO
have made careful surveys declare, but storage dams
are necessary before more land IS brought under cul-
tivation. Until such time as storage is provided 1t
would be unwise to greatly increase the area now IN
der canals. these authorities say.
There are at present something less than 100000
acres of land under the canals Of the irrigation sys-
TENS along the lower reaches OF the Rio Grande. To
add another $4,000 acres would require lifting OF APP
proximately one-fifth more water from the river, ana
expert counsel Of the present districts say i cannot
be done safely.
There is no provision in the application OF Frank
lin for the storage Of flood waters, these engineers
say. II there were, the application would be seen IN
an entirely different light. There Is sufficient water
finding its way to the sea TO irrigate every acre Of
tillable land along both banks Of the river, II proper
control works and storage facilities are installed.
engineers agree.
In time an agreement is going 70 be reached with
Mexico concerning the division Of Ia ewaters q the
International stream. storage dams will be built and
huge storage basins formed.
When this is done the application Of any person
for water will receive the support Of all applicants
Until it is done districts now operating feel they are
entitled TO protection by reason Of prior use.
The application Of Franklin IS said to De based on
a presentation made several years ago. But argue
the present operators OF irrigation WORKS Il granting
ar a permit on the strength Of a former presentation
endangers prior systems, the permit should not be
granted.
The case seems destined to have an important bear
mig on the future Of irrigation in the Valley.

The mayor was for caution, but the Rotary club

CHAPTER XVII


Mamma Jansen paced the library
floor, biting her nails and smoking
one cigarette after another waiting
for Dovie to return from her visit
to Vivian.
She leaped for her as she came
in the door.
"Oh, honey, how did everything
go?n
Dovie flung herself into a chair
and mamma could sec that things
hadn't gone any too we'll.
DOvie exploded:
He has given her everything in

seen. And the little fool has half a
million dollars Of his money al
ready as a settlement"
Mrs. Jansen's face blanched.

They faced each other-mothel
and daughter. each waiting for the

her temper giving away, and turned
on her mother.

and look at me as though I could
do anything about it, AS though

Kent was suddenly touched. His
face softened a little. Maybe Dovie
did car a little. after all. He hated
himself for weakening. and his
manner was uncertain as he ran
mis- hand nervouslv through his
curly hair.
Mrs. Jansen's voice was soft and
sad.

beets to take a prominent place in crop rotations gen.

beets IN the United States "and some estimates indi-

Smoot OF Utah is the chief apostle OF the beet sugar
