The Water Situation
BY r. a. Faul

The stored water supply being
pon-existent at the present time,
and the weather prospects offering
10 promise of relief, water users
and business men are rightly pessi-
ristic! over tie situation.
Apparently the situation is very
serious AT THE PRESENT TINE,
but We are not in desperate need
of irrigating water at the present
tirse, excepting as for pastures and
grain crops, and under the condi-
tions rs they are We should be
willing to overlook such needs.
Admitting the seriousness of the
water situation, a careful analysis
will show that there is ample time
to replenish the depleted stored
water supply before it is needed
for the sole crop that we will be
able to grow next season.
There is absolutely no need to plant
the short staple cotton before the
middle OF May, planting dry and
''irrigating up, the cotton can go
for nine weeks without any water,
in fact, by holding off water for
that period of time the plant will
root deep, so down as it is supposed
to do, with a long tap root and no
lateral roots. Nine weeks from the
middle of May will put the next
irrigating time the latter part OF
July, and at that time the San
Pedro will flow, and the San Pedro
never fails to deliver the goods.
This river has saved this project
before, and it will do it in 1889.
Also, the ella river records show
that even this apparently weak
sister delivers the goods during
January. February and March. All
ne need from the ella during these
months is $4,000 acre feet. With
made to operate the pumps and this
pump-stored water combination
will be ample to water the cotton
crop the one time necessary to
carry it over to the San Pedro flow
period.
AS stated previously, l think
there is but little hope for grain
or pasture crops, and the same goes
for the alfalfa, but the cotton crop
will be made, even with the small
amount of water needed as stated
above.
And bear in mind that there is
plenty Of time to get that water
BACK OF THE DAN
The water officials, both Indian
Service and San Carlos, are capable
and experienced in the art of iugg
ling small amounts of water to DO
the most good, and if it be possible,
even eclipse their valiant services
rendered during the season Just

Children's Theater
 Play Well Presented
Youthful Audience Delighted By "Jack and the Bean-
 stalk" Performance at WOmen's Club

A dramatic arrangement of Jack and the BeanStalk" by Charlotte Chorpenning was presented at the Waterbury Women's Club Saturday afternoon, where a ge-sized ju- venile audience with a sprinkling of adults witnessed the splendid per- formance directed by Miss Dorothy Mclaughlin. Members of the Chil- drsn's Theater, branch of the Wa teEbury Civic Theater, were the per- formers. A children's working crew also assisted in the staging, scene making, costumes and mechanical supervision. The play went along with smoothness, from the small actor Jack to the great big giant, ths former played by young Harold Gardiner, the latter by Harold Schoenmehl. How the giant made the youngsters laugh, after they got used to the terrible creature with his fee, fl, fo, fun!
 Three Acts
 The play was presented i'll three acts and two scenes. The first and last acts in front of the Widow Bess' house. Three scenes in act two were the giants kitchen, on the Beanstalk between earth and sky), and thirdly the giants kitchen again. Scene two of this act was bit of fantasy and cleverly contrived with Frihol the magic maker hold ing the center light somewhere be- tween earth and sky, and the Man in the Moon gently rocking back and forth on the silvery sickle that was the moon. The giants kitchen too with its big table and chair and big stove were realistically con- trived, while a easement window opened wide to show suddenly great beanstalk hanging suspended from skywards to earthwards. The beanstalk was-well, just colossal.
 We'll Presented
 The youthful players all conduct ed themselves in professional manner. Young Jack articulated clearly and with appealing expres- sion. Nancy Stettbacher and Mary Jean Gaffney, mooed away joyfully as the COW sold for 1ew beans. Ann Wethered as the giants wife was dainty and graceful and acted with great intelligence. Harold Schoenmehl played the pig giant husband in fine fashion. Joan Mon-

agan was dear little harp. Roland Largay played the meanie, Rae Hey wood snappy fashion, and Ruth Goodenough was appealing as Jacks mother. Others contributed greatly to the play, Joan Vanasse, as the old Tyb, Mary Mcdonald as Joan, and Doris Ann Braman as Annot, both attractive little misses with nice stage presence; Franklyn Fin nan played Gavin, Stephen Chai- kowski the man in the moon, and Robert Purinton, Frihol the magic maker.
 Testimony of the general enjoy ment of the play was given when an announcer asked after one of the scenes if those present were enjoy ing the performance. A deafening YES" was the answer.

FOR IMPROVEMENT OF RETAIL
BUSINESS

Employees of Hendersonville will be al
forded splendid opportunity to improve
their ability to earn living, and Hender-
sonville employers are taking step to-
ward improving their own business condl-
tons in the promotion of vocational classes
for employees under the sponsorship of the
Merchants Division of the Chamber OF
Commerce.
The Times-News joins local business men
in hoping that salaried workers will take
full advantage of the opportunity afforded
by these classes.
Only through the cooperation of employ
ers and employees can business advance.
No right thinking employer would wish to
keep his employees down and prevent their
advancement. No right thinking employee
wishes to see his employer lose money or
fail to make progress in the business world.
Employers of Hendersonville are shove
ing by the establishment of these classes
that they wish to see their hired help make
progress and improve their ability. The
state department of vocational education
stands ready to spend the taxpayers money
for this purpose; the city school officials
are ready and willing to help; and the
business men of the city are indicating their
willingness to aid by underwriting some of
the expense of this project. 1t is up to the
employees to take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity afforded.
Instructors in these classes will not be
members of the educational profession but
men of known and proven ability in the
business world. The classes will be inter-
esting, instructive, and practical. The en-
plOye should come from the class room
with better knowledge and understand
ing of his job.
Employers will profit by increased eff
cheney. A clerk who understands the fun
damentals of craftsmanship can sell more
goods, clerk who is courteous and polite
will bring increased business because his
customers will come back, and finally a
clerk who believes that he knows enough
to get ahead will be more interested in his
job. All of which makes for improved
business conditions.

IN A DIFFERENT WAY

Grover Cleveland was one of the truly great
presidents of the United States.
He was elected as Democrat, but ne was not a
partisan president, and today he is acclaimed by
Democrats and Republicans alike.
This month we recognized the l0lst anniversary
of his birth, but we have not heard that anywhere
was formal celebration of the day. At the moment
ne is not idol of the party of which ne was once
the titular head.
For Grover Cleveland was conservative. he
held to the old ways. He did not believe in pater-
nasm and he resisted firmly the growing tendency
in his day to launch government upon such policy.
In the midst of great business and industrial
depression, not unlike although less severe than
that we have just gone through he said:
THE lesson of paternalism ought to be unlearn-
ed and the better lesson taught that while the peo-
pie should periodically and cheerfully support their
government its functions do not include the sup
pert of its people"
Almost that would sound like strange doctrine
today, so far have we gone along the way OF max
ing the government support the people.
No. Grover Cleveland would hardly be. a popular
political idol today
Future years may give different slant upon
the craftsmanship of this great man, so that his
tory will give him his rightful place among those
Americans who have preserved the traditions and
the institutions of our democracy.-Rock Hill, S.
c., Herald.

GENIUS OF FEAR

Hitler iron-handed ruler of Germany, iquidator
extraordinary whose only peer is Stain OF Russia,
worlds outstanding exponent of rule by force,
seems to be going places. His conquest of Austria
without battle-it was not bloodleSs victory for
q wave of deaths from one cause or another swept
across Austria-was termed by Hitler himself as
his greatest achievement. Holding sword over
Poland in its threat against little Lithuana Hitler
again won with deal for German annexation OF
the free city of Danzg. His bayonet studded bor-
der brought the voting privilege to German Nazs
in Czechosovakia and the threat of his domination
of that country is not yet removed.
What lies behind this little corporal of Ger
many? What is the motvating influence that has
hurled him into the spotlight of the universe?
In its final analysis it is fear, pure and simple.
He is trading upon one of the most ancient of
mans weaknesses. And he is achieving phenomenal
success. Past master in the doctrines of force-he
has demonstrated that in his own land of Germany;
peerless in the realm of bluff, this little man has
brooked no interference. Boldly and without any
semblance of conscience he has strobe across the
map of Europe He has brought Germany from
conquered nation of 20 years ago to the position
of the greatest threat to peace, and he has brought
himself to be the most feared ruler in the world
today.
Therein lies his genius He knows the psychology
of fear He is familiar with the whitening results
of successful bluff. He knows perhaps no other
man, the might of the doctrine of force.
That is Hitler's character-fear, force, bluff.
That is his success and will continue to be his sue
cess until desperate nation strikes back Per-
haps he will not fare so we'll when his bluff is called.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WHAT WILL HITLER DO NEXT?

What will Hitler do next to shake and shock
Europe?
That depends essentially upon the attitude OF
other countries and upon their strength
There is hardly any limit to his ambitions. He
would like to dominate Europe. He desires lmme-
diatelv to absorb Czechoslovakia into the Reich
inst as he did Austria. He wants the Ukraine and
q mart of Soviet Russia, possibly JugoSlavia, Ru-
mania. Belgium. bit of Italy and slice OF France
Perhaps that is not all
And were he convinced today that he could get
away with such a program, he would proceed at
once upon campaign of conquest.
Nothing is going to stop him but death or guns
or fear of guns.
If he does not undertake the conquest of Czecho-
sovakia in the very near future 1t Will be merely
because he is afraid of that little countrys armies
ornaments and Notifications, combined with the
support of Soviet Russia and France might give
the Czechs He would hardly hesitate to start on
the conquest of CzechoslOvala this week II he
were convinced he would succeed.
Nor would he hesitate to march his armies across
the borders of Soviet Russia before summer, II he
felt certain he could get away with it.
Fired with ambition for conquest of large por-
ton of Europe he is going just as far as ne dares'
Nothing he says, no pledge he makes, no agree
ment, no treaty, no public acknowledgment to
assure Europe the world that ne desires peace
and that no other country will be mo!ested by him
if only Germany be left alone-means any more
than the barking of dog. All European govern
ments know this by now.
Even Mussolini knows it and is keeping loaded
gun in his right hand while extending friendly
congratulations to Hitler with his left. Ii Dace
knows Hitler will double-cross anybody If he can
gain thereby.
And the world should not be surprised If Hitler
and Mussolin are at within five years-if Doth
live and continue ruling dictators of their re-
speetive countries.
Nobody trusts Hitler, outside of Germany, except
the comparatively few Nazis in other lands.
What Der Fuehrer will do next depends upon
what he dares to do--what he is convinced he can
do.
Nothing will ever stop him but death or the fear
of military might.-Charotte Observer.

next President. insists on moving
farther away from strict neu-
trality and isolation and toward
position where the United
States can move on to actual in
tervention IN world affairs if and
when its executive heads deem
that to be wise.
This was the chief significance
OF the speech which Hull made at
the National Press Club for broad
cast to the world.
First Of all. Hull nailed down
positions previously taken in his
step-by-Step delineation of a for
eign policy whose actual signifi-
canoe is questioned by isolationiSts
and pacifistS.
He emphasized this country's
interest in orderly international
process throughout the world
not merely in China-and i'm
piled strong diSapproval of the
German seizure of Austria as
well as an intense interest in
European affairs.
He dwelt on the desirability of
parallel action by peaceful nations
against "lawless'' nations-a point
OF considerable importance when
one gets to specializing as to how
close parallel lines can approach
each other without becoming the
same line. And he accomplished
aS intention to protect American
rights and interests abroad I'm
terests' is one of the English Lam
euage's broadeSt words.
Finally and very cautiously.
Hull laid the groundwork for d
drive to repeal the neutrality act

frontal attack on the law But
