when it comes to supplying tons and
tons Of water to quench the thirst Of
a patch Of sweet corn or cabbage,
that's another problem.
Many Ways to Get Water
In the east there are three impor-
tant system of distributing water to
the crops. These are the overhead
sprinkler system employing lines OF
pipe mounted on posts and having
numerous small nozzles the full
length Of the pipes to distribute the
water: the furrow or flooding system,
by which the water is allowed to run
in small furrors or trenches along the
rows OF plants; and the underground
or sub-irrigatioh system.
When the land is comparatively
level or only slightly sloping. the fur !.
row method Is highly satisfactory.
Little burrows are opened alongside
the rows Of plants with the corner of
q hoe or with q little hand garden
pillow and the water is simply allowed
to flow freely in these burrows until
the plants have had q good dsink.
After the water has settled away
the soil is returned togthe burrows
and cultivated.
Underground System
Subirrigation, or underground ir-
rigation. is adapted for use only
where the subsoil Is Of such nature
that the water will not readily waste
through 1t. The usual method is to
lay lines Of open-joint tiles a little
below the depth of blowing, the lines
being spaced four to eight feet apart
The tiles are laid practically level
or they may be given a fall OF about
four inches in 100 feet and used as
drains during wet weather. In that
case the lower ends Of the tiles open
into a ditch and are plugged when
the tiles are used for irrigation.
In operation the water Is admitted

Fargo, N. D., dairy farm operator,
was granted a new trial Thursday by
the Minnesota supreme court OF his

Simon Kruse, operator Of the Raids

The Hennepin county district court

develop near the surface. This re-
suits In shallow-rooted plants that
will die tn case the frequent sprink-
ling Is discontinued.
The proper method is to give the
plants q good watering once every
five to 10 days in dry weather, the
frequency of watering being deter
mined by the character Of tie soil.
sandy loose soils require watering

In our past articles we have de-
scribed the two-club forcing bid and
the one-club forcing bid. The writer
Will devote the next few articles to
describing a variation Of the Wander
bit club system. which variation was
compiled by Mr. v. F. Boland and
John H. Law, both Of Cleveland. o.
The system is generally called the Bo-
land system.
Under the Boland club convention
system, all bids of one excepting one
club show . minimum hand. AS d
matter Of fact. under this system, the
advocates Of 1t will make a one bid IN
contract with as minimum a holding
as they would a one bid in auction.
In other words. they do not demand
two and one-half tricks first or Sec
ond hand for an opening bid. but
would shade the requirements to two
tricks. They also employ all suit bids
Of two as demand bids showing a very
powerful hand-that the original two

This system was devised to show the
intermediate hands-that Is the hold
ings that are better than minimum.
but not strong enough to open with
a two forcing bid.
When you have a hand containing
as much as one trick more than
would be required to open the bid
ding. but not enough high card
tricks to bid two. you bid one club.
This club bid is made without regard
to the club suit holding-the hand
may Or may not contain a club
strength-but it does tell partner that
the hand contains from three to
three and one-half high card tricks
II partner responds with ore dia-
mond, he denies holding two quick
tricks. II the partner holds two or
more quick tricks. he must make Q

suit than diamonds or one no trump
and II diamonds or clubs ore hi
strong suit, he must bid two.
While the advocates Of this system
will bid one club first or second hand
with one trick stronger than a mini
mum, it does not necessarily mean
that they will open the bidding witt,
three bare aces, as two bare ace are
not enough for q minimum opening
of M Therefore the club bid must
be strengthened by favorable distri-
button or scattered honor strength.
Third and fourth hands require an
additional trick.
Naturally the first questions that
arises in the minds OF those inter-
ested in studying this system is what
do you do when you hold q minimum
bid and your best suit Is clubs? These
hands must be bid as one club. The
partner will assume that It is the
forcing bid and will respond with Il
diamond II holding less than two
tricks, or will give n of the positive
responses If his hand contains two or
more quick tricks.
The opening bidder WILL then re-
bid his club suit to show that his
original bid vas simply q minimum
club bid. OF course, If the opening
bidders original club bid had the re-
quired strength to make z forcing
club bid and at the same time his
strong suit was clubs, he would then
jump his partners diamond; e. g., one
club from South. North responds with
one diamond, South II he held q
minimum club bid would bid two
clubs, while if he held the required
strength and his real suit was also
clubs, he would jump to three clubs
This same procedure would be true II

INDIANS USED TO
POLITICS ALSO
EVERY VILLAGE HAD THEIR CON
SERVATIVES, LIBERALS, RADI-
GALS OR PROGRESSIvES

The political pot was always boiling
in northwest Indian villages 200 years
ago, and the party in power was being
blamed for the country's, just as it is
today.
There was always a conservative
party and a liberal or radical or pro-
gressive party in every village-often
split by many "blocs," which sought to
throw the balance of power to the war
party, the peace party, the free trade
minority, and so on.
At various times the tribes of Mon
tana, Washington, Oregon and Idaho
had these slogans Drive the white
rascals OUT" Free Trade" Back to
the Lands of Our Forefathers;" 1--WE
Want a Full Dinner Pail land Let the
White Brother Fill tt )" American In
dians First"
White men found the most annoying
form of Indian politics appeared just
after an uprising. The permanent peace
chiefs of the Indians would explain
that the hostile movement was headed
by hot-headed young war chiefs, chosen
for the duration of hostilities only, that
the tribe as a whole was not answer
able for their actions, and that anyway
they had left the country.
After that, the white brother usually
could do nothing but put on a baffled
look, sign another disarmament treaty
and leave the red politicians to chuckle.

KING FISH WAS
AMONG INDIANS
NORTHWEST REDMEN HAD THEIR
POTENTATE LONG BEFORE
RADIO THOUGHT OF

Like Amos N Andy, the northwest
Indians had their "kingfish" and they
had him 200 years before radio.
Instead, however, Of ruling the "mys-
tic knights of the sea-" the redskin
p~otentate presided over the more i'm
portant rites of salmon fishing.
The titles of fish king" and King
fish" were rather interchangeable, es-
pecially in the Chinook jargon. The
salmon was king fish among the tribes
along the Columbia river, and they ap-
pointed leaders to decide questions
arising from fishing rights and to ap-
portion the catch. So a fish king" de-
cided matters appertaining to the king
fish"
Every year the Associated Press has
a story about the time the salmon be-
gin to leap up northwestern streams,
and how the Indians still spear the
fish and catch them in baskets-one
of the few rights which have not beer.
taken away by white people,
But few northWesterners, even, real
ize how important this used to be to
Indians in the days when fish was the
principal food. Fishing was the most
important event of the year in those
days.
The tribes erected lodges along the
river, and literally stripped for action.
The day was spent fishing. With the
catch apportioned, the women dried the
salmon in the sun, removed the skin
and bones and pounded the cured
flesh into baskets holding 80 pounds,
for use during the long winters. The
"kingfish' decided controversies.
Then the fishermen Toasted on the
heads and entrails Of the catch, which
could not be preserved, then gave the
night over to dancing, gambling, games
and other amusements now generally
froWned upon.
So it was that the "kingfish" turned
a serious business into pleasure.
